Give me some tips or tricks of the trade

Consider what you can do with the exhaust. This simple pipe performs two functions
1. removing waste gas behind the vehicle
2. removing noise (via the baffles)

Well it's only an 80cc so there's not going to be too much gas, no more than you're breathing from the bus in front. Plus the baffles as well as removing noise also strip some of the power. Get rid of the exhaust get rid of the power 'sap' and you get a great sound. Plus getting rid of the exhaust system you remove a hell of a lot of weight. It's a win win situation.

You might also consider getting rid of the carburettor for the same weight reduction reasons. The carb mixes fuel and air but for a simple engine how much mixing is actually required and as we know more petrol = more power = more speed (that's what we do when we twist the throttle. Much better if you just drag a pipe from the fuel tank to the inlet manifold and attach the throttle cable to the fuel on/off switch.

Hope this helps and I look forward to hearing you out on the roads

You put a KX500 one in there?

no believe it or not i got an aftermrket piston for a ttr 150 sent the motor out to get machined and it works really good the slightly bigger piston adds to the compression but because i upped the compression higher than it was indended to be im kinda scared of it exploding. lol

....so its really an IED150...

Rip the brakes off for a bit of weight reduction. It will go way harder then.

yeah thats the suicide way

Strap a bomb to yourself and yell out some bullshit about Mohammed and you'll be all set.

A rocket would be better that a bomb. Bombs just explode, rockets shoot along, then explode. Shoot along = more speed. This has been proven by myth busters I believe, strap a rocket to you or the bike and you should experience (although short lived) massive power gains. Don't worry about the extra weight of the rocket, it will be outweighed by the amazing improvement in power.

Just ride down steeper hills!!! Simple!!!

Take a dump (No1 and 2) and you'll probably shave 1.5kgs depending on how much you $hit.

Remember, 1 litre of water = 1 kg.

Speaking of shaving, shave all your hair off to take off some weight, and while your at it, eat less pies, or food altogether. Got any superfluous limbs or anything? That's sure to take off a fair bit of weight.
Less hair means less weight and less drag (Assuming you ride naked as would be expected if you want to cut down more weight) every little bit helps.

Yeah don't forget to trim (or pull) off your fingernails too.

Try a fltaslide carb if it hasn't already got 1 fitted, deosn't really increase the power as much as peop[le might have you think but it gives it alot quicker....alot quicker

[Sable]

Iridium spark plug. Also, take the carb off and stick the fuel line directly into the intake manifold, carburettors are there purely to satisfy emissions requirements. You get twice the horsepower due to free flow of air and that cool whooshing induction noise, all your homies will think your bike has VTEC oi

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.

Send Crazy Steve a PM tell him what you are doing and he will help you this guy is a encyclopedia on 2 stroke engines.
