New guy to Buckets

[mossy1200]

No i understand but won't it be a bore a piston and a sleeve. That's why i say it may be cheaper to do the stroke.
Oh the FXr150 why don't you aspire to a higher level. The FXR150 is like the Arsehole of Buckets. (sure everyone's got one but i don't think we need to see them)

Im not following. The information I have is that its already stroked to 125 crank and has xr 200 barrel 65.5 so I was planning to press xl185s sleeve whick is the same as xr200 but smaller internal 63mm then going 1 oversize to 63.25 for Kickahas piston. Quick fix for a starter motor.

Just check the valves arent still embedded in the top of the piston, as most second hand Kickaha pistons end up this way ...

2 pistons in about 10 years, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, I've actually blown more cranks than pistons although the three of those were other peoples bikes so they don't really count

Are you sure they didn't make the stroke shorter to keep it legal? measure both before you start building anything

Its a new piston.


I have a new TKRJ XL185 piston .25 over that you can have if it is any use to you

Well you will have to get a 185 sleeve (That is on Std bore assuming you don't have one already, but its a 20 year old motor) then the sleeve will have to be shortened or a spacer plate will have to be used,(otherwise it will hit the flywheels and will not bolt down) then you will have to bore the cylinder. So Iike i said a stroker with a xr200 or a XL185 crank may well work out cheaper?

Oh before i forget the XL185 piston is a low comp piston as well most i think from memory were dished. if it was 9.2 :1 on a on a 185 it will be a lot lower comp on a 15*cc motor.

Warwick (Kickaha) is a top bloke, just don't let him give you any styling tips for the bike.
He will have it all decked out with a airbrushed tank mural and highway pegs and a sissybar.

Im of the impression the stroke is shortened to 49.5mm( xl125 ) but the barrel is xr200(65.5mm) =167cc but what i dont know is if the barrel contains a xl185 bore 63mm then the bike is 154cc already. I think its a xr200 engine with xl125 crank.

Step one is to pull the head and measure the bore and stroke
Step two is if the stroke is correct but the bore is to big fit 185bore and oversize it .25mm and install your piston.If its already 63 ill still do the oversize and new piston = 155.35cc

Well I got a scooter for 150 and spent 8 on it and sold for 760 today. I have 2 options.

1= tell wife and lose 760
2= invest quick and take a spank if im caught out.

A number of FXR's are running them (including mine). Bloody good carbs that seem to do the business. All the ones I know of are generally 28mm.

I've got a 28 on mine. 115 main I think and works pretty well on a pretty stock engine (that carb and a butcherd pipe with stock header) not huge amounts of extra horsepower but much more punch out of corners.
