[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1438403, member: 16241"] You can still clear doubles with the shortened suspension and SM wheels. In fact Bill Berndt (SFO) told me a story about when he was mechanic on Doug Henry's SM team. When they first got Doug involved they took the newly built YZ450F based SM bike with 17"s and [B]cut SuperMoto slicks[/B] out to a local MX track for a practice day. After a lap or so of him getting used to the feel of the bike Doug was clearing all the triples and proceeded to lap everyone on the track. Your results "may vary" but you'd be surprised how good a DTX or SM prepped bike can work on and off the road. Even more interesting is the fact that they converted the 4 speed YZ450F in Doug's bike into a 5-speed using a 1999 YZ426F transmission. That particular transmission was donated from my spares collection, and it originally was donated to me from the smoldering remains of a certain YZ426F owned by Mr. David "Thump" Vaught after our own Billy Who laid waste to Thump's 426 at Dirtweek. Doug won the Irwindale Supermoto race with your transmission Thump, so I figure you have SM in your DNA now. [/QUOTE]
