@Louis-James said in What clutch for a WR200 conversion?: The ebc heavy duty clutch. Use bandit 400 clutch springs

@Bluestoesonnose @Glynn123 is correct, front hubs are very different. The only way you could have two sets of wheels and one set of brakes is by swapping the forks from another bike like a KTM. As caliper brackets to convert enduro brakes to larger SM brakes are more plentiful with KTM's. You would also need a custom spacer for the headset and you might have to fanny around with the wheel spacers as well, but they are relatively small problem's to fix if you plan on achieving your goal.

Stuff inside the engine cases I always use loctite. Last thing you want is a screw coming loose and rattling around your clutch or something. External stuff I don't bother so much, as that's easy to enough to spot and rectify.

Like with most things, the work is in the preparation.

@theportingmaster you got any 170 barrel and head for sale ??

@Bluestoesonnose So the VHSA Carb was standard on the TZR Belgarda models that ran the 3MBP barrel. Which was a modified 3MB setup. That was my logic behind carb upgrades.

@Bluestoesonnose If you can you should do some dyno runs with each head on, just to get a clear picture of the difference each head offers and share your findings. As that will give us all a direct comparison and clearly show the benefits each head has to offer.

Cheers, I'll get them off to Tony for some port work and squish band work

Always good to have spares!

@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

No sealant, just make sure the mating faces are completely flat. https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/11/how-to-i-gentle-skim-your-head-barrel

@Sgt-Robuck-5 Sounds like a bigger problem to me. I highly recommend Athena and of course genuine. If the surfaces aren't flat then no gasket will seal. I always recommend a quick homemade skim on the head and cylinder before refitting.

It's only on the RE do mains come on with engine off, but only after you start the engine.

@Calum WR200 wheels fit and are a nice upgrade, front disc is bigger so you require the nissin caliper mind

Yep, did that, and all the other stuff as mentioned above

Sussed it, dead short in the generator on the yellow and red to ground

@Bluestoesonnose Wise call - A stock bulb would ensure that you can track down any problems you have, without changing anything else or maybe adding anymore to the mix for-sure. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

Cheers, I'll call around and see if its cheaper than a big bore kit
