Odypilots' 600 Rotax Pilot

[odypilots]

After racing in a enduro that was the definition of "slop fest" last year, sucking dirty water through the air filters, and blowing up my engine, I've been working on getting her going again. Bugpac was kind enough to allow me garage space, and a bunch of help.

In the rush to make racing season in 2007, AtvNut and I cut some corners to get it on the track. The wiring and radiator mounts being the most glaring. So out came some unneeded wiring. It's still a combination of the Pilot  and the SkiDoo harness, but it's neater now. With AtvNut on the phone, we also wired in a kill switch, so the teather doesn't have to be pulled to shut the engine down.

Bug designed some brackets to use Rick S' very well thought out radiator mounting system, and Rick made up those brackets to go with his rubber mounts, that Bug then welded in. I chose to offset the radiator to allow it to stand more upright to promote better airflow through it.

I'm including a couple of pictures to show the engine cradle and mounting that never got photographed in the original rush to complete the project.

Thanks, Spec. It's been sitting too long, and without Bug's encouragement, would still be sitting. I can hear Bug's voice now, "Git Er Done!".

Looks Good!  Looks like there might be some shock upgrades there as well.  If you don't mind I have a few questions from my odessy ignorance.

I take it the original engine was not a Rotax....  Was it a single?  How many CC?

Is the gear/chain box we see in the rear the original for the machine?  Are you running the original CVT?

Anyone know a good source of info on these machines?  I would like to read up.  My Uncle had a yellow one when I was a kid, but I don't remember much.
