Hey Speedpro please advise me if you know of what to do as I do not have a clue to be honest,

I know how to build a engine and ride it and make one run but not perofrmance tune one Im just trying to learn, If you advise me what the mods I could do is I will do it,

Hope we're having a couple of "Newbie" sessions on Sunday. I've got some people coming out to have a little play on #6. Had a look at it today. Was gonna check a few things but couldn't be bothered in the end. F5 didn't mention anything so I suppose it's still OK, apart from the handling.

22.5hp when it was fresh, bit less now after years of thrashing.

Yeah I wont be racing this round as I start back at tech with no coinage what so ever and need to get there for a week unless a miracle happens.

Kinda happy and gutted at the same time Im happy because I got a while now to set the bike up properly and do a service on it,

Speedpro or someone please explain to me ehat you mean.

Hey is this common for the engine to want to die at the bottom end and really rev when up high? or is this lean? I rode up the driveway and the revs pickled up as i was accelerating round a bend nearly crashed the thing. It dont feel right, I think there may be an air leak in spacer I had the top off and ran a sealent through it but now its like BRaaaaaaaaaaaaah Bring

dont know if thats right at all

I know the RS125 revs at the top end but you can keep the engine running at bottom end power its really got me confused I dont know wether its timing or a lean engine?

you idiot ivan..

You need to get 1.5 mm skimmed off your barrel if you put a 1.5mm spacer in.

You'll have next to no compression, and really weird port heights....

Do things properly, or dont do them... i thought you figured that out already?

Nah well the standered base gasjet is 2 mm thick so with that removed and mythin .5 mm gasket it is the right compression but still to low yes I am gettign 1.5 skimmed off it too,

Heres a pic

2mm thick my ass!!...

Maybe 0.2mm thick!!

Have you measured the squish? If what you are saying is correct and the original gasket was 2mm (which sounds strange) then what have you achieved by putting a 1.5mm piece of alu and a 0.5mm base gasket in?

I bet your squish is like 2.5mm+ now.
