Oh and I am joking dont get upset glen k?

Sweet, but I wouldn't listen to me, when was the last time i finished a bucket race, - last one i can think of was on someone elses bike..... makes you think....

as for glen's nuts - well that can happen to the best of us....

get to the shed boy and start measuring I've got a sh!t load of bits for you. (info). I'll post them up in a couple of week once back from holiday.

roll on the winter series. I'm keen to see if i can go around the outside of you and your RS again, on my big 250 green bus..

So the header you have made has a spigot mount, is tapered along it's whole length, curved to fit the bike, and is perfectly smooth from one end to the other? That would be nice work.

I can't see on that pipe in the picture where you are going to take a little bit from here and there to make it work on your motor. All the curves and tapers would make that a very difficult task. Having tried that sort of thing I can assure you it'll be easier to do a good job if you just design and build from scratch.

Yep the exhaust header is designed to curve and be a smooth flow the whole way,

I opened up the port by 1mm on the sides and on the top of the port, I guess if you dont try it you dont learn,
and I didnt go hard out I did it so if it works there is always room to make more improvement,
and before I ported I had a copy of the porting and cylinder scavenging chapter that I read, I also checked that the ring would not buldge into the port on compression also I chamfered the port off,

Like I said trial and error and what better bike to learn on than a bucket racer where I can buy a brand new barrel for 30 bucks from China

yay, I've got my GP125, but no pics! New BT39 battlax's on it from cycletreads.

Has anyone got a RGV250 or similar flat slide carb?
I am looking for one to fit to my AX100 as one carb works out to 125cc kind of if you get my drift would just need to alter jetting and manifold to get it to suit,

Cheers

**Ivan** · 8th April 2007, 12:45

Sorry Sam this is the AX engine I wont try porting my RS barrel ill leave that to someone who knows lots about it buckets is buckets you make mistakes and learn and have fun 125s is all about finishing well I dont want a shit engine,
