  @Arild said in Best Big Bore Kit DTR: @RubberSalt youve told me most of this as answers to all my questions, still my mind ends up blown after reading this its alot of good information to take in, or try to atleast Thanks for putting all that together Well this is all rather very interesting, very very interesting indeed... After reading that that I might even scrap my plans of a 200 after reading this and seeing what was once an idea become something of a possibility and with both a 4DL setup and 4FU setup spare it’s not like I haven’t got ammo. I haven’t mentioned this either but I also have a spare 4DL head. More ammo? Also @RubberSalt I have as much to learn as I believe you have to offer. Very well written, whilst I admit it’s out of my depth (at the moment) it’s still easy enough to follow. I also use my phone so I know it can be a pain sometimes. Me and @Arild met the same way you did and had been chatting for a while now, helping each other out and talking about the unexplored possibilities for the DTR so I just got to say welcome aboard and thanks from me and on behalf of my little Swedish g. I appreciate you helping him out a lot, I could honestly only wish to be able to do what you have Anyways I do believe this could be quite a most interesting endeavour.

  Hi all thanks for all the advice it’s really helpful! Yeah he had to skim a lot off because it looks like someone Had prized off the head before with a screwdriver or something and made a big gouge in it! I’ve ordered the copper gasket (budget reasons ) so I’ll try that and see how she goes but if not I’ll give a new head a go. I’ll post an update soon

  @rubberfingers Some have a diamond shape on the pulley end but they all take the same pulley - worth noting so that when setting up you get it the right way round. Best thing thing to do would be to feel up the port with the exhaust off. I have both a 3SH TDR125 and a 3XP 200WR if you need any info - both engines are in one piece though so cant comment on the internals right now

  @Darty ohh okay i was unsure with the rotax engines, i thought i remember seeing an aprilia sx 125 with 35hp somewhere but it was probably wrong Also im not sure on all the different ktms but i know there are loads of supermoto over here pushing 40hp, dont know about theyre torque but theyre going quick and pulling wheelies like its nothing

  Yes I'd like to go down the Mick Abby (sp?) route as well but also get him to build a pipe to match the tune along with a new matching ignition set up. For me the main aim is always to have s bike that runs right with nice healthy mid range power rather than completely all up in the very top end of the rev range.

  @Calum the beauty of 2 strokes is you can take the cylinder off really quickly. I'd definitely pop the exhaust off and look up the port. You can buy and endoscope for £5 that plugs into your phone

  AHH!! Stop. You have to measure the piston ring end gap! And modify so that's within spec. It's common to see at least one, if not both, rings out of tolerance as it's expected that the user till measure and setup accordingly. The ring end gap tolerance is in the haynes.

  Irongamer on here used to run the Athena kit so might be worth dropping him a message, for a good starting point.

  @Glynn123 Just picked up my re-bored and ported barrel off Mick yesterday, looking for £225 including royal mail 1st-class signed for delivery and a free Mick Abbey sticker. The Namura Piston Kit cost me £65 from p.j.m.e and Micks labour on top so £225 for all the parts is the best I can do.

  @2stroketerry thanks for the kind offer but my head and barrel are on their way after a call to Mick. Seems for the kind of time I'm looking for a bigger carb isn't required

  Yeah 4FU barrels are plated. So are the Athena barrels IIRC. It's about £130 to have it replated. PJME will probably drop a liner in there if you wanted them to.
