rsheppick Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Kenz is known more for their 4 stroke work than anything else.. They are widely talked about over at trx450r.org..... I have never heard anything bad about them regardless of the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1azshee Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 For what I have seen from Kenz, looks like they focus more on 4strokers, dont you think? 490608[/snapback] I think they are known for 4 stroke stuff, but have heard good thinks about them with two stroke work as well.

AZRENEGADE1 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I just contacted Kenz to port my cylinders. I had heard good things about them. Told him I wanted a port job. Next thing I know he is telling me I need Vforce reeds, welded crank, etc., etc.. I had to cut him off to explain that I already had all of the bolt ons installed and just wanted a port job. He replys with, "Well, bring in the motor so we can port the cylinders and tune the motor. It will run you $1,033." Frankly, he didn't seem too interested in doing the work and I am not too interested in spending my money there.
