these are my buddies back home, btw

I have never seen flailing legs to that extreme before!! I think the foot pegs might actually miss their feet! haha.

How would you compare the change you noticed from a stock YZ250 to your YZ285?

And then compare the YZ285 to the CR500?

The stock 250 motor is very strong as is, we all know that they eat 300 Pumpkins.. ? But this top end work by EGorr is phenomenal.. It obviously does not have the bottom end of a 500 but when it lights off it sure feels like it.. Where a 500 will sign off at about 500 rpms the 285 will still sing to what feels like 9500 or 10000 or so.. I have no idea what rev limit is, just a guess.. The only place you will notice huge advantages of a 500 motor is deep, dry sand and sandy hills where the excessive bottom end holds higher gears.. Good chocolate cake dirt though, it would be a fun little experiment to see how they compare in acceleration..

Sorry about the vid Kiko.. We actually had helmet cam footage from this weekend but the cam was too far down and all you can see is about five feet in front of the bike Soon friend, soon...
