    I would ask the previous owner why he plugged them.

    Hey Mike, 200 sci just had on rebuilt. So I'm trying to break it in so I haven't had rpm over 3500. or wot. I know the tempest isn't the one. Would you need to know to recommend the bravo over the razor4. I see a bravo for $900. What do the razor 4 run?
