    making a 550 turn

    I've been riding a gasgas 300 all summer and this bike turns awesome. Makes the '08 550 feel like disabled tank. Sure the 550 has endless power, but so what if you can't make the next turn. It seems the bottom has dropped out of the market on these turds, I've been trying to sell it at Fritz's...

    Thoughts on making the SEM stator an oil bath.

    Anyone considered making the SEM stator oil bath? Did KTM's have the same issues with their SEM ignitions that were oil bathed as the Berg's are having? I'm just pondering the idea of converting the Berg over to an oil bath design. Anyone care to share their ideas/experiences? :)
