I have had plenty of experience with the Athena 170. Bad quality casting and bad overall performance. There was even a hole in my cylinder which leaked coolant. Athena wouldn't bother. Don't buy if you are looking for performance.

This is good stuff then? Reasonable price as well.

@NINJA I've actually managed to get a garage space! Will try to chain it the best I can

They're out now

O my god what a relief! Athena is up and running! Jesus Christ I have never ever been so afraid of something going wrong. Hopefully the worst part is over. Still afraid a circlip will come loose and mess EVERYTHING up. But, I've done my best, bring on the summer

@rollzy101 nice!

I stripped a cheap pair and polished the aluminium. Pretty satisfied.

It's not like the engine is 57°. The coolant is.

@declan Good oil can and will prolong the life of the engine. That's my only concern.
Cheap oil, no thanks.

@declan

@declan simple, open the radiator cap. Fill the system fully. Start the bike(with cap off) and let it warm up. After a while, begin reving the bike a bit. You will, once the bike gets hotter, see air bubbles escape at the top. Once you have done it for ~15 to 20 minutes and most of the bubbles are gone, you're good to go. But first, make sure there are not any leaks. See youtube for examples.

Are you sure you bled the system of air? Have experience with that problem

Ordered the xx14. Seems good enough. Have to engineer some sort or holder under the seat so I can bring it easily.

@NINJA Then the prices goes up as well

@Calum yeah I have always done that to my 2 smokers. Though I highly doubt it's necessary on a 4 stroke.
