Who's running a 2stroke?

Anyone running a 2stroke on their snowbike set-up? Pro's? Con's?

I'd like to hear more info as well, I'd think that something along the lines of the older CR 500's would rip big time with a snow bike kit on it.

I remember reading somewhere a while ago about someone who did it with a cr500af, but said his next one would be a 4stroke...not sure why. Bottom end torque maybe???

Overall RPM torque curve is better on snow with the late model 4strokes. Although a CR500 would be a kick in the asz to ride on the snow with a MONSTER sized desert tank and a buddy packing plenty of extra fuel!

i have a set on my kx250, its fun but definatly could use some more power. my 2 buddies, one with a 03kx500 and the other with a 09 ktm sx505. the 505 has alot of torque, but it just doesnt compair to the raw brutal bone eating power of the old kx500, the thing just tractors around everywhere.

you don't happen to have any video of the kx500 and sx505 riding around together to do you?

I rode a KX500 last year at the Hawk fest. I own a 530 KTM. All I know is I wanted off the KX500 and back on to my bike. The 4 strokes just make more tourque and are alot funner to ride. Just my opinion. The 500 did feel lighter though. Track spin was a issue. The thing would just blow the track off and go no where. I suppose I could have gotten use to it. But I already had a bike that worked excellent.
