185cc kit NO ATHENA !!!

NorDt · Guru

Everyone seen it, dont think anyone knows if its any good or not. But i think its worth a shot.

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

yeah seen it

i wondered what seals the outer edge of the water jacket as theres only one o ring on the inner edge and no groove or oring on the outer edge

hmm

Theres a pressed metal head gasket that seals between them, id imagine that o-ring is only in the inside as extra protection to stop the highly compressed fuel/air mix being forced into the coolant, whereas on the outside edge there not much pressure.

i translated the text beneath in google translate. they seem to be bragging pretty hard about it.

But the question is if the crank and rod can take it ?

yamaha used the same design with the tzr sp but thats a heavily tuned 125

the o ring is for the high comp and stops you blowing a gasket

I actually want this, if i get this i'm keeping the DT forever lol.

NorDt · Guru

This gave me an idea, The athena 170cc i have can probaobly be rebored and fitted with a piston from this kit.

If i ever need to rebore it . I havent seen any oversized pistons for this kit from athena so ..

Im really wondering how the porting is done on this kit.

There are some vids of the 185cc on youtube, but their crap. Cant really tell if its any good or not. But it sounds pretty good. All the comments are in german too. so cant tell what their saying about it .

Any rich people on here willing to spend £500 to give us a proper review of this? :D

NorDt · Guru

Heh. 500 euro is less then what i paid for my 170cc. Have no idea how this 185cc is compared to my 170cc though....

Seanyftw · Guru

If i had the money i would get it. I imagine it would be quite a power boost with a bigger carb lol.

Keep the original clocks just so you can laugh whenever it tops out :D

i emailed the guy a month ago 50 euros more for a forged piston, and he can make it a 200cc but on last oversize

NorDt · Guru

Damn that sounds amazing. But its not that smart to spend that much money on a cyllinder and get it to the last oversize. Its proboably gonna last. But what if it seizes.Its proboably not gonna be that much of a difference anyways.

NorDt · Guru

so are you considering buying it ? :).

Seanyftw · Guru

I haven't the dosh otherwise i would. Would rather spend my money on making my bike shiny for now, can always get this at a date in the future :)

im really wanting to get this, i should have but just spent a load on a top end rebuild so not gonna let that go to waste yet, might leave it 6months and see if anyone goes for it before me.

you could sell your top end
