Athena 170

@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.

You can even put a two mode map switch in so you can have it in economy or full chat mode lol.

Or $239 -
@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..

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.

Ah yeah, so with that then, it probably just wants a tad more fuel to compensate.

If it were fueling, it would start if you opened the throttle ajar.

It has never ever wanted to start with throttle. With or without the big bore. With the previous cylinder it would at least start fast cold. -
