Ok here it is again with the attached links with the help of board member factoryX.

This is me on my tri-z in oct 2004. This was the day before I left for IRAQ. I had just thrown it back together quick after getting the phase 2 wrench report done to it. I wanted to get 1 last ride in. I had some local guy do the work and it wound up running like a oversized blender. For those of you that can tune an engine by ear, you can hear how the work came out. Had absolutely NO low end. The clip where I am jumping the tabletop is where you can see it best. I had to go through some deep leaves that were on the track(Homemade track) and it was bogging. I couldn't get enough power out of the one turn to clear that tabletop and it took me like 6 tries to get the feel of the powerband to be able to clear the big tabletop. Its about a 30 or 35 footer. I had no interest in hitting any other jumps that day especially with the bike running like crap. I don't know why I was kicking my leg out around turns, I was riding my friends honda cr on there previoulsy, maybe that was it. I have since dismanteled the motor. I think I gave that cylinder to Sprock racing for an exchange on a big bore. There is about 10min of video if you can watch it that long. I had to split it up into 2 parts. Its a bit repetitve, like I said I was only hitting the table top. The jumps got much better toward the end when I was more used to the crap powerband. Anyway, enjoy. Also please excuse the crappy camera man. No laughing at my glasses either

Congratulations on the return, you are truly one these forums hero's! Now for that Z. Man, that second vid was showing that bike's power. I thought you were going to lose it on the tree root at the top, but you just shot right out it! Nice! The first vid, the leg thing on the turns was funny! Kinda looked like you were trying to kick a turd out of your pant leg!LOL

I'll be honest with you, I was waiting for someone to ask that. I'm suprised it took this long. No, its not klemm. Its a JP racing one. I picked it up 5 years ago on ebay for like $100. Alot smoother than klemm. It blends exactly as the air box cover does. Its really a nice piece. It only hold 1 1/4 gallons, which sucks ass. I plan on making it bigger. There is plenty of room to expand it under the tank which would be above where the coil sits on the z. Also I can come down the front where the oem air box tube used to sit. I'd like to get 2 or better gallons out of it.
Thanks to everyone for the cool responses!

Hey Denn,

Its been about 5 years since you sent me that ATV News Shootout of the 250cc 1986 three wheelers. I've thought about you man...are you back home?

I still have the Tri z and am getting the stock engine rebuilt and the cylinder ported. I also just picked up an '85 YZ 250 engine that I might pay with and one day install in the Z.
