Athena 170

@irongamer727 Create an imgur account, photobucket compresses your images.
Definitely look at getting a Zeeltronic for your bike. It will make such a difference with that 170 kit.
@calum I've already spent what I consider A LOT on this DT. Also have an NSR now. Ordered a stainless Romeu Henriques pipe for it. The DT is either way never going to be a performance machine. The Honda however..

@irongamer727 Yeah, and it'll be a shame not to make the most of it. A Zeel will allow you to unlike the full potential of that Athena.
Having done everythng under the sun for these DT's, Athena Big Bore, TZR RR Belgarda engine, the single one most thing I can recommend, is the ignition system.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@calum but it's expensive as sh*t! Still going to get beaten by my friends riding their gasgas, exc and so forth. Not worth it really. I just want a dependable everyday rider with a bit of oumph in it.
@irongamer727 It's cheaper than the Athena, allows you to increase the reliability of the engine and gives you much more power through the rev range.
You can even put a two mode map switch in so you can have it in economy or full chat mode lol.

@calum £199 isn't too bad I guess..
Or $239 -

@irongamer727 Just need to get yourself a kickstart now and it'll be like a real crosser.
-
@calum I've thought about it. Could get an old dtr engine for £90 with kickstart.
@irongamer727 Yeah, that's about the going rate for everything you need, plus you'd have a spare engine lol.
-
What do you think? The DT is refusing to start cold. Always have to bumpstart it. Choke or not. Once warm everything is more than good.

@irongamer727 You running the stoke carb?
I always had issues with the stock carb.
What plug you running.

@calum br9eix 90km from brand new. Will try to fiddle with the air screw.
-
@irongamer727 Before you mess with the settings, try stifling the airbox, restrict the air box, see if that makes it better or worse. Or take the snorkel out. That'll give you a hint as to what the problem is.
@calum the entire snorkel and the top plastic is cut out. I'll comment on the post I did a while back and you'll see
-
@calum I guess I could order a bigger idle jet or wait for the summer...
