But I also see people talking about the Duromax motors.. Any suggestions as to which is more reliable? Both are basically as cheap as the other. Yes I would love a Vanguard, but I'm not that interested in putting that $$$$ into a motor at this time, so I will go budget build now.

Should I be looking into the Yamaha power kit for the clutch/spring replacement? Is it worth the money?

Anyone have an idea of average toque/max. speed I can expect from say:
Predator 420cc with stock clutches/stock rear end?
Might look at this one instead....more power, better engineered....
