Does anybody else have this problem with the 170cc atheana
since runnin this 170kit the bikes blown the crap out of 3 exhuast rubbers
thats about 1 a month lol completly obliterate wen i give it a good un
just completed my journey today an thought sounds extra loud again been such a common problem now i knew right where to look.
there it was whats was once was an exhaust rubber
could do with finding something a bit hardier or is there a better quality one out there . or am i buying a cruddy one or summin it never happened with the 125 barrel on they lasted really well
apart from that the 170cc still sweet as a nut. top gasket belting quality 1500km later an giving it some gas
cheers yeah some rad hose will probably do it i dunno about the pond pipe with it being a hight temp im not sure steve m8
strange aint it.. they were ok with the other barrel tho thats what makes me think its this athena one blowing them up check it out kaboom its gone this time. cos i tried jubiees this time worked better i guess tho

I was in a garden/fish centre and they have some rubber pipe connections with jubilee clips either side, proper heavy duty thick stuff, 1 looked the same size as the 1 on my bike.
cheers guys ill get on that later the spark plug colour was pretty much perfect browned off ..
you say it looks as though its overheating . well it did pretty much the other day i did the stoke egg run thousands of bikes cruising at about 6mph for a couple of hours i didnt actually overheat but my temp gauge did go up a fair bit more than usual ,i also saw a fair few peops who did overheat during it to
got the ol theory once again at 9 am with a bit of luck i pass the damned thing today or itll have to be 3rd time lucky lol. then my m8s just picked up an old 79 ts250 trials bike so ill be sorting that out today for him had a little blast yesterday good for an old girl, what a wheelie machine an the engine sound sweet.
maybe i should look for a bigger carb an inlet all together cos im still using the standard flatside i went from 240 to 260 jet for the athena an still standard gutted front pipe 2t lube upped a bit from wen i was running the 125 aswell.
what jet size would you recommend fellaz?.
theory passed first lesson booked for 9am tomorrow mornin

I'm not an expert on jetting. Usually it's trial and error adjusting the fuel air mixture. I believe after putting a 38mm carb on I then had to carve out the air box. Was running sweet with the 38mm carb but Oh my how it DRANK the fuel!
thanks m8 well impressed with myself see how tomorrow goes an i may just book the intensive course get it over an done with.
38mm's is a bit of a jump from a 28mil init, i have noticed what you mean about uneconomical an im still on a 28mm im covering about 25 to 30km less with the same fuel tank amount an drinkin my 2t so its definetly getting more than it was.
took a pic of the plug today for a more experienced eye than mine its a bit blacker than i thought to be honest , air screws out 1.75 turns needle clips on the 4th from top..
any ideas to remedy this is appreciated
gotta get this sorted quick now had my first lesson for the full test this morning an my bike seems to be hittin nearly half way up on the temp gauge on the slow riding bits.not liking it
when im moving its ok usually down at 3mm over the cold marker.
