New guy to Buckets

Maybe Mossy you should start spending on making your bucket legal, isnt your motor oversize?

Nope. Its xl185 sleave xr200 head tl125 bottom end with xl 125 crank 156cc with this bore. Theres a xr framed bike running the same set up with cdi unit fitted but mines still on points. If it helps its noticably one of the slowest bikes in a straight line also if not the slowest. Idd be surprised if I had 10hp also.
I really do need another motor but not for a while yet.

Ahhh ok, thought it was 167cc? Technically I think it's still over, per the rules but close enough!!

125 2 stroke maybe?

I guess it classed rebore under 158 but if there is issues I have a .25mm oversize xl185 piston that I can bore the sleave even bigger to 157cc and say its a 125 bored to 157 with a piston(open). Im not expecting any inquiry and everyone seems happy at the track with it. The you tube link earlier in the thread shows up the hill and accross the top of Kaitoke its maybe the slowest B grade bike in a line on the track last meeting.
Its most likely ill fxr the chasis when im good at riding it and need more power but im having a heap of fun trying to make passes stick with corner speed and gapping the passed bike down the hill. Im wondering if thats going to be the most fun part of riding Kaitoke so im in no hurry to build a ultra fast bike.

Out of interest stick one of the fast guys on it and see what they do. I ran Michelle's 100 in B grade down there last time we went, 8.2 horsepower, crap starts and mid pack finishes, but also the most fun I think I've ever had on a bucket.

I think the result would be the same. Im handy in the corners and running mid b grade( first meeting) but I lose 7-8 meters up the hill against most bikes and 4-5meters across the top straight but regain most under brakes. Im also 20kg heavier than most of the riders lol.
Im having fun with both the building and the racing so thats the main thing. Maybe later ill go for horses. My biggest achievement so far is I can push start it by myself now and its fun to ride it. Its also great to get away from the house and out doing it.

Shes a hard road finding A grade. No hurry mate.

B grade is where the serious racing is at.

B grade especially turn one is sodding terrifying.

B grade is a bit like Deathrace and A grade is a bit like Talladega Nights

Idd rather be Jason Statham than Will Ferrell. Im thinking hes getting more puzie action.

B grade is a knife fight. A grade is a gun fight.

Problems HELP YOU ENGINE PEOPLE

Had a back fire and poor running maybe from new exaust. Happens while under load only.

Took the carby off and looks like manifold leak was one issue but

Head has been ported out to 31mm
Intake manifold to 28mm
Existing carby only 24mm (for sale if you 2 smokers need one at 24mm DREW?)

I take it best bet is for me to run 30mm flatslide and take the intake out to 30mm??????????

A previous owner must have kept his carb and chucked the tl125 carb on it to sell bike.

Rule number one bigger does not necessarily mean faster. Strange but true
Rule number two when porting cylinders it is common to add material to the ports in some places and remove from others.
I would fill the port floor to straighten out the port and run a 28mm carb seeing you have a reasonably std motor. couple this with a nice short intake of a Suzuki or something like that.

A few hours on a flow bench and some plasticine maybe in order?
If you pm me your address and i will send you a free intake manifold
