Final Results

The bike is heavier now than with the 50 motor. I can tell when loading it in the truck. I can't tell how much of a difference it's making on the track. it does seem to take some more muscle to get it through the turns, but i can't tell if thats because of the heavier motor, or if its just me riding harder and hanging off the bike more than i did last season. the motor has a lot more torque, and you do a lot less shifting than with the 2 strokes. Having GP shift is also nice, especially on a bike as compact as the YSR. Shifting while leaned over is no longer a problem.

Overall i like it. for the money i spent i think i would have liked to buy a race ready motard or nsr instead, but if you do the conversion right the costs should be much lower than mine.
