[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1300140, member: 16241"] Eric Gorr has built a whole lot of 144s and the following patterns can usually be seen. The Honda and Yamaha don't seem to care how much power you run through them. Suzuki boxes are dodgy at times, same goes for Kawasakis, but to a much lesser extent. With Suzuki & Kaw, it seems if you get a good box it will work fine even with extra power, and if the box is suspect you'll know it long before you get the the point of building a big bore. The torque difference isn't so great as to put that much extra stress on the gearbox. I'm a firm believer in rider "style" being a bigger contributor to gearbox failure than power levels on these engines. 144s really are a ton of fun. In my mind it's still the best bang for the buck bike you can build, and given how cheap you can pick up a 125 these days, it's really a bargain. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
