hey im a 16 year old and have a 1987 yz80 that has got some serious balls and i kinda wanna make em bigger if you no what i mean. I mean my bike hauls ass already and it flibs me over even when im riding at high speeds when i shift. But i wanna get some real power out of that bike any ideas on what i can do like litle stuf tuning and adjustments you no. edit: just so you all know i no alot about single cylinder motors as in how they work and a few whay to make em better so please no more retard comments like paint it red red bikes o faster...... and believe it or not ive have completely redesigned the engine i have a prototype design and am saving up money to make it a reality i dont wanna tell you to much cuz i dont wnt people stealing my idea but its a combination of a standard single piston motor and a rotary motor if you really wanna no more then ask and ill send you a pik of my design with some stuff obviously scratched out.

Install a more powerful power band

See this thread: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...-on-a-2-Stroke

It sounds like your power band might be stretched.

ducatilover suggested that nitrous would give my bike some extra speed, so it's sure to work for yours! also, there's this guy called 'shermin' who has made his bike go faster by drilling holes in the frame, to lighten it, might like to look him up.

Obviously you need to paint it red (if it isn't red already) And put some go quickly stripes on it (aka speed streaks I think).

If you're 16, may I suggest you try a 125. Much bettera balls for a man of your age.

A Ferrari badge might help too, I don't know if this works for bikes.

a 16 year old fella might actually do that, don't encourage him as he might think you are legit!

Deffinitely get the fatter sprak plug wire. Also try to get a one piece coil and powerband off a PW50. It'll make it even frikken extremely powerfuller. Trust me.
