In a good lightweight motorcycle frame, it just wants to jump and it's hard to keep the front tire on the ground!!!
Yes, yes it will....LOL

also ran my freshly ported 044 yesterday, its equally as strong.... and equally as thirsty, just goes to show how much more efficient the newer scavenged engines are... the 90cc classed saw vs 70cc classed saw, 90 is a delayed scavenge ( longer transfers to help prevent reversion and charge loss) and the 70 is standard old style short window ported... the 044 also has a chain that was originally cut/sharpened for the 661...so its a bit aggressive....LOL
