0
96

This segment will cover piston, rings and cylinder installation and power valve adjustment.

Tools required: Torque adapter, torque wrench, standard assortment of  metric tools.

John Dowd loves two-strokes! This bike was custom-built using a KXF250 Frame and KX250 engine. The bike is fast as seen by the holeshot Dowd got at the Unadilla FMF 2 Stroke Invitational. (not including Weinert.. who had a little advantage :-) )

Unfortunately the Kawasaki factory would prefer that he race the four-strokes and not this bike. So you may not see it around all that much. Since it’s appearances may become rarer in the future, here are a few pics.
