lowidenfast Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I've been at it for a few weeks rebuilding my top end. The new parts include Ported stock cylinders - Hardcore trail "surfport" Cool Head with 20 cc domes Wiseco pistons All cometic gaskets Trail Tech TTO temp gauge New tie rod ends I took my time as this was a first for me. Learned to measure squish, built a leak down tester and acquired a lot of tools along the way. I want to say thanks to Surfrjag for all of his help fielding my rookie questions throughout the rebuild. I ended up with 158/159 PSI, no leaks (eventually), squish at .059. Dropped a tooth on the front sprocket so I'm at 13/41 now. Jetting is now set at 320 mains, needle in the middle and 27.5 pilots and plug chop says I'm a little rich but it sure doesn't feel that way so I'm going to roll with it. The cool head definitely seems to be keeping engine temps cooler too. overall, I'm very excited with my build and can't wait to hit Busco on the 25th Took a short vid when I took it out for the "torture test" last weekend. Launching in 2nd now with the lower gearing https://youtu.be/Yupwkqsl4eU Fresh painted cylinders Temp gauge (I still want to make some sort of mount for it) Before the torture test After torture test (lost my damn clutch cover insert!)

troyzstang Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Looks like you did a great job. Did Justin do your portwork? Kind of like that temp gauge. Does it actually work? Were you able to check it against a hand held temp gun? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowidenfast Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah, Justing ported the cylinders. The gauge seems to be accurate just based on resting temp and what it read inside my house/outside in the garage before install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyzstang Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Justin's been doing some excellent work with stock cylinders. So where did you find that handy dandy temp gauge anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowidenfast Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks bigweav. It's been a long time coming. Grew up riding and racing MX. Started at age 4 on a Yamaha Moto4 80, moved up to the blaster and started racing MX at 13, moved to a banshee at 15 and then got it all taken away when I did some stupid shit at age 18. Went without a bike for almost 10 years. Got a nice 250R ~2 years ago and loved everything but the power so it had to go and bought this one March 2015. It had issues so I began spending money hand over foot till I finally got it all right. I'm extremely pleased with the bike now. Wouldn't get rid of it for anything. Hell, now that I know banshees, I want to buy another for cheap and build it to suit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
