    Re-ring and stroke it? (over bore, new cams take ur pick)? Should be cheaper than an engine swap I think..

    But yea what you got done to it so far?

    And the only thing I DO like about carbs is that I can "tune" it with only a screw driver!

    I may rebuild this one, since I know the motor has no major issues, but I will put another motor in while I do it, so that the bike isn't down too long.

    This bike has a lot done to it, so I will keep it for a long, long time.
