lol i was kidding about the kx motor  i would never tear the bike down and your right it is not counter balanced  i want this zilla motor to run the right way yeah i know  it is frustrating as hell all i want to do is ride  i just want to ride all day no wrenching on it just riding  im going to try to contact dennis see if he has any thoughts i found his number on his site  and i seen your build and some stuff you had to go through i learned  from  research  well on the old site  there was alot of people that had been through the same thing   where im at now  so i tried to stay with what was working for most 500 owners  i know its close  if you knew what i went through  on this quad  we could talk for a while  so i tried to do it all right this time around
