I've got the same 230cc in a crf250 clone chasis, you definitely over thinking it, i thrash the f# out of my zong in sandy dunes & bush gets pretty hot here in perth & power gets a bit vague when climbing soft sandy steep dunes, but that's aircooled for you,otherwise she's runs sweet, will definitely be trying full synth as the rimula still gives slight slip, how's the 230cc feel in the alloy 450 frame?
