Got the 450 out and fitted a new Lithium battery. 9amp/hr and 180cca.

Weighs about 1/4 of the orignal one and cranks like a champ!!

Was $136 AUD

I think I bought the wrong mount without doing more research. Had to modify mine to make it work.

I bought a 05-10 EXC (part # 2043170059) mount but I had to cut a piece to make it thinner. Otherwise the wheel gets stuck. You will have to messure it correctly cause if you cut too much then the mount will rub against the rotor bolts.

Good luck man.

Finished my KYB conversion.



Seriously. If I can do it anyone can do it. The KYB conversion is worth the effort for anyone who has ever hit a whoop.

Stripped the plastic, swapped rear wheel bearings (bought the wrong ones for the front, whoops!), swppaed out tires and street gearing, pulled off the Lectron and dropped the 36mm back into place. Gave the bike a good cleaning and fired it up. Ready for the 500 minute endurance race this coming weekend!

We didn't get along very well. I could tune it for either top end or low end, but it wouldn't balance between the two. I'm going to get back to the AS2 carb and be in touch with Lectron to see if we can get a different rod to meet my criteria. The bummer is that once I got the bottom end up to half throttle sorted, the top end was way too rich, so I think that a different rod taper should help. but, I'm going to play with needles and brass for a bit until we get a resolution on the Lectron. It's a good carb, it just needs more tuning than I'm willing to invest right now.
