That sucks. I didn't know that the 95's had balance shafts(or that they were still 2.3's, thank you for the info)! Those damn things really slow down the revs. They are for sure not needed on a oval track car. They are just to make it smoother at idle.

Quads do vibrate at idle and that is what the balance shafts were suppose to cure to keep people happy.
And they do tend to be a limiter to the RPM range of the engine.
I'm the 3rd owner of my Quad, (68,000 original miles, still has the OEM clutch). It has never been beaten, but i will admit from 5000 RPM up it's "interesting"!
Not that I get there very often.

They make me sad. My Eco revs like my tired 3100 and that is not a joke.

ahh it was worth a shot. Ill keep an eye out for a HO version rather then the 41. Whats does a used HO running engine normally go for?
