Has anyone fitted a 170 kit? I was going to send my barrel away to Stan Stevens for a tune but I'd like to know how well the 170 kit goes before I make my ind up
i asked the same question on ere and im guessing no one knows i fink when i've got some more money im going to go for it sounds good and looks ok in pictures
You could get a secondhand cylinder and have it bored out to the max oversize which is 2.0mm and this will give you a new capacity of approx 145cc for less than £100 all in.
I've just had a cylinder bored and a new piston kit (Japanese) for approx £65 all in at SEP in Kegworth.
Guys i had an rd125 lc it was fitted with a micron pipe and had a top end tune,done by a well known bike tuner!! it was ported and bored out with a tzr 250 piston.. it was constantly siezing up probably 4 tims while i had it ,i certainly wouldnt have a head and barrels tuned again.
Dont forget that you could also get stung by customs for importing the engine (VAT or import duty).
I have an online friend who could send me an engine but the shipping is crazy so not worth it unfortunately.
If I wanted a grey import engine I'd have either the 200R or the 200WR because my DT200WR was quicker than a Lanza and they were both stock, plus FMF make a nice pipe for the WR200 which really wakes up the strangled stock motor.
from what ive heard the 170 kit is poor the porting is said to be worse than that of the standard barrel and quality isn't good !!
do as ben said 2 mm overbore and get some port work done by mr abbey !!!!!!!!!!!
