The pics everybody was waiting for: THE ENGINES. Side by side. (Sorry for the before pics, had to change image host???)
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT...
This engine had no stator or flywheel, that adds at least 2-3 more pounds!!!
This engine is complete!!!
And don't even get me started on the exhaust!!!
Did you guys knew this???

Test fitting the engine...
I must have taken the engine in and out about 500 time already. Good thing is really light!!!

If cleanliness is next to godliness and brake parts cleaner cleans EVERYTHING, is brake parts cleaner a gift from god?? Think about it.

I'm curious to see if that tank with clear, the rocker box on that bad boy is pretty stout. Looks awesome!

Tank will need cutting and welding. Maybe repositioning of the petcock assy'. But I need to finish welding and fabricating the aluminum engine mounts first.

Not to rain on your parade, but I would look into the tank very carefully before you finalize your frame.
250Rfan cut and plastic welded a plastic tank for his 450r build, I might be out of place saying this but I'm pretty sure I read some where that it did not hold and he ended up having a metal one custom made. I doubt it was cheap.

Yeah, I read that. I'll ask Jason, but I doubt very much that is a viable alternative for me, it will all depend on the price.
Since it's very minor what needs to be cut out of the tank (I have 1 cut already) compared to what needs to be cut for the 450R, maybe I'll try heating it. We'll see what happens.
But I'm sure I'll be able to do it, no problem

The engine weight is very interesting, for sure! I never would have imaged that the 5 stroke was that much lighter weight, wow.
Although, the CR500 motor is about 7lbs lighter than the 250Rs (Counterbalancer, forward kick start gears, etc) but a 4 stroke, just never would have thought it!

Yes, I was very surprised. I had to put them on the scale a few times just make sure.

FCR carbs are huge when compared to their 2 stroke counterparts. This is just 37mm
But it clears just fine. YFZ 450R throttle cable installed, works great. 1/4 inch needs to be cut out of where it threads in the throttle housing, otherwiese it will be too tight and the carb might even be opened.
The carb lines up perfect with the airbox boot, this is an easy fix!!!
You can see here everything clears just fine.

The exhaust: Titanium -vs- steel
More weight savings...The difference is amazing.

Awsome progress so far. Looks like that yamaha fits really nice in that honda frame. Keep us updated and good luck on the rest of the build.
