No, as far as our rules exist today, and I'd like to see it stay that way. My 600 Yamaha is very competitive, top 5, or better, almost any night we run, and I know you won't believe this, but including the Hilborn injection, I have under 1k in it, everything bought off Ebay, and when I started, in 05, with the 600, we ran that first engine 62 nights, without any engine failures, and that was just a dummy engine, all the parts were from different places, I just put it together, to see how it would perform. That motor made me a lot of money! I still haven't put any new brgs, or rings in any of the 3 I now have, no need, a motor out of a bike, w/ less than 7k on it, is just getting broke in. I usually run them one night, and ck the compression, and it's always right on the factory specs, plus, I am able to leave the starter on it, so I can fire it up, on the jackstands in the shop. The Triumph 3 cylinder, 675cc, makes a good engine also. Bob
