Stonewall MB, cool! A few times a summer we would drive our dirt bikes and trikes out there from near St. Andrews airport and play around in the gravel pits till the RC's would show up and run us out of town. That was in the early 80's, where do you guys ride now?

Yea, the days of shooting deer out the bathroom window are over in St. Andrews as well. Where is Seddon Corner? Is it on Crown land?

There is a powervalve swap on a TriZ bottom end, but the owner wasn't happy with the end result. If I remeber correctly the best idea was to just use the whole YZ motor as it had slightly more horsepower. http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/30686-How-to-power-valve-your-Tri-Z?highlight=how+to+powervalve. I beileve this is the correct thread.
a power valve wont add hp just gives a better power spread, i thought the hp increase came from the yz motor having slightly more aggressive porting, more compression, and a larger carb vs the tri z
