Thanks Gary. We battled an overheating problem with Richards bike all meet. He has the radiator positioned above the back wheel, and we felt there was not enough "proper" air flow going through it, also had remote water pump problems, sorta lived with the overheating as there was not a lot that could be done on site to fix it.
After the meet Richard and Jason took the bike into Salt Lake city, where one of the USFRA members offered them the use of his workshop. Talking with Rich on the phone the other night he said that thay pulled the topend down and found that a cylinder head nut (APE) had split into three pieces, ( first time i`v heard off that happening), that would have been contributing to the problem as well. Anywhay thay have given the motor a hone and new rings, along with fitting up a larger turbo, the existing turbo was starting to show a bit too much movement in the shaft.
As we know that bike went 250.025, with problems, and a soft tune, it hasent reached its full protential, not by a long shot :wink: :D
