Stop posting innacurate information that may scare away lurking newbies. Rotax parts ARE available at any Ski-Doo dealer and on the internet.

I just don't know what all the fuss is about, these motors are cheeper than what your running, and more durable, and require less fussing with. Like the Corvette shocks, these bikes are built by the 1000's, not a couple of hundred runs... If you need parts, you don't have to call the only person in the country that imports them, you run down to your local dealer, or search the web for the best price.

There are rules governing valve train configuration. but, standard "hot rod" stuff like balancing, porting, cam timing, exhaust, induction, ignition, are open. The rules are much more detailed that I imply but, there ARE DSR's with paddle shift (no electronics allowed). DSR requires either lots of brains or lots of money (which lets me out).
