    KLX Motor Questions

    I have a KLX motor being built right now with a TB143 V2 head kit and a stroker crank. How important is it to swap the countershaft with a heavy duty one? The only reason I ask is because my motor builder recomended I change it out, but I can't really afford the extra $200 right now. I have a huge Central American trip in a couple weeks, so money is tight untill then.

    just do it if possible if you dont and it breaks you might need to spend more if the pieces from it break other things
