@spookdog The 4FU is nikasil plated, rather than a steel liner.

@dan28 I did, but it is WIDELY different to the OEM Lanza radiator.

I wonder if there was a translation error

@spookdog it's a "rare" tzr belgarda 4DL head.

Matches the p stamped barrel

Not sure how rare it is. Not rare compared to the TZR SP barrel. And it's akin to a factory 3MB head.

@edfrearson Hi Ed.

Welcome to the club

@declan Yeah, I only bought the 170 on a whim. I've had one before and wasn't overly impressed. But it was just something to.

I will say, lovely bit of kit for the money. I paid a similar price for my Italkit setup for my RS and for the money, you certainly get a lot. I haven't even fired up the Athena kit yet lol. Just been sat on a brand new engine for months. Probably should get around sorting that out to be fair.

@declan I have owned one previously. It's about ensuring you have the right powervalve to fit also.

I am no longer working on DTRs anymore. I recently got the Athena 170 kit, but I am not tuning anymore. Just want to thump along on my little smoker enjoying it for what it is.

@edfrearson

Yeah very smart. KMX looks sweet too.

Don't see those knocking about anymore.

@nottsbiker No, the best barrel is the SP barrel.

I've never tried the 4FU barrel but certainly would be interested.

@edfrearson you need to find a third party to host the image for you, then link it back in. I.e. Imgur

@edfrearson Hello and Welcome.

@Louis-DT-WR ? His bikes are immense to be fair.

Forum updated & Upgraded. Let me know if there are any problems.

@spookdog Was going to say!

Have you checked out...

@spookdog What!

What do you mean "Good gasket with 3000 miles on it"? Head gasket? They are not reusable.

The chinese ones simply don't work.

Just get a genuine or Athena gasket. Brand new, never fitted and use that.

@forgotten maybe they were just confused with the GPR.

KTM LC2 as well

@spookdog 1/4", but really the engine needs to be out to do it properly.

@ninja Very much post. I just received some new radiators from China with no import duties either.

I've got some Carbon Fibre parts from Czech Republic coming...apparently ordered those months ago.

I've got some bearings coming from Netherlands.

So far no import duties.

@ninja I didn't pay any import duties.

@spookdog I am sure there are benefits to having a 125 over the 170. Sticking with the same jetting etc is one of them.

For a brand new 125 kit I'd say it's priced reasonably enough. I think I bought recently the 170 kit for not much more. Still haven't used it yet. But I felt for the money it was really good value, even if it's just a back up cylinder.

@Oisin Also you can just pay using PayPal so you are given PayPal Buyer Protection right off the bat.

You can put in a PayPal dispute after 180 days so you're more than covered!
