They will also probably change the cam....
CCM have a great opportunity here. I hope they don't f**k it up....
I don't think you can compare the motor with a Husky. Huskys were built for performance over reliability. They're race bikes.

The motor is from the BMW G450 race bike that "God" David Knight spectacularly bombed with. Neither performance, nor reliability. Before and since he's won everything on a KTM and even on his own off the shelf Kawasaki shortly after he walked out of BMW. He'd probably win on a Kimco.
All the trail riders and "normal" racers in the UK didn't touch it. They stuck to their Suzukis, Hondas, Yamahas and KTMs. That's why it was discontinued.
I suppose CCM got a job-lot very cheaply?
I really do wish CCM well, but I fear they'll be flogging a dead horse, figuratively and literally.
