What can i do to tweak my RG150?

[Blueblader]

I'm modding my bike with custom decals and stuff but i want to make the sound a little deeper and louder, not so 2strokey! Any ideas? Run strictly on Elf oil and 98 fuel, so it's getting the good stuff. Really want to make it a head turner!

Drop a RG500 into it that should get heads turning as you fly past at 250k

No i want to tweak it, not buy a whole motor! It'd be a bit of a hard thing for me to do by myself but man that'd be cool!

Ok You should look at some Head porting by someone that know's what they are doing , Different carby could help , Wiseco race piston . Top brand Plug will help out as well .even a little bit off the bottom of the Head to bump the compression up .

You can't. More you tune a two smoker, more they sound like two smokers. What's wrong with that ? Two smoker sound is GOOD. Tweaking them, fairly classic stuff. Port, polish, zorst, hard part is upping the crankcase compression, and none of the rest will do a lot without that,

cut open the exhaust pipe (the black bladder ( as someone told me)) (don't cut in half, sort of like a window instead) rip the packing out, makes it a lot more "Ring Ding" like a two stroke should, next, stick a drill down the silencer to make a straight thru muffler, RING A DING DING DING! A crackly 2T turns all the right heads.

FFS guys, give some proper advice, not just old school regurge.

is some pretty sound knowledge that plenty of people have tried.
I'm guessing she doesn't have much money for serious engine work, which is limiting....
www.tygaperformance.com will sell something that will fit, and give some pretty good results as well as looking good.
Unless you are going to race or Dyno your bike, perhaps comsider spending your money on suspension/tyres to go faster, or body kit to look better?
And no, you will never get rid of the 'ring-ding' sound, but why would you want to?

It's a 2 stroke... and it'll always sound like a ... 2 stroke!

They're great engines - why change 'em?

That wouldn't be me would it

Or just unscrew the cap on the end and take the baffle out?

If you clean the powervalves it might make it go a bit better..

if ya don't want it to sound like a 2 stroke, buy a TL.
