if the c90 is well set up you wont notice enough of a jump in performance to make it worth it IMO.

You'd be better porting/polishing the C90, high comp piston and a better exhaust/carb (unless you have done all this obviously...)

C90's are sort after because 1) they are a genuine Honda lump, so your resale value goes up, especially in anything that resembles a crf50 (89cc vs 88cc kit) 2)they dont die, unless you REALLY try

"if the c90 is well set up you wont notice enough of a jump in performance to make it worth it IMO" <<< I'm sure the yx140 will make a huge difference though...
