Rumor:" New CMB"

[ALLAN YUEN]

The new 2004 version CMB.45 RS look like strong beef crank . Will find out later because the CMB factory already built and will possible sell them first March

I saw what I'm told was the 2004 45CAM engine a few weeks ago. It broke a rod!

<_< New CMB.45 RS as same CMB.45 EVO 2/2003 but redesign big crankshaft , piston/sleeve and disc rotor I dont know Why!! What happen??

Rod broke 1/3 way up! Very odd.

I bought the 2003 model last year, and the first race I went to, the needle bearings siezed. I spoke to Bobby and he said this was a freak accident. The motor was great up until then. (many days of testing)

Anyway, I had the 2003 upgraded to a 2004. It requires a new crank, rod, drum/housing. I haven't ran it yet due to hard lakes. I can't wait to run it though.

So the case remains unchanged? New crank sounds promising.
