2 stroke thread

Okay sounds good. I know my way around a bike but I was nervous about 2T because of how different they are. I wont be tracking competitively but I want a fast bike that I can show my mates up with when we go head to head. Im quite lightweight so a lighter bike is a big advantage to me but how would you go about increasing power?

> Whats your opinion on KTM?
I have none when it comes to KTM dirt bikes. I don't ride dirt bikes and friends of mine do not have any KTM dirt bikes.

>Can I use high-octane?

Stick to what's recommended by manufacturer (if you keep stock CR)

> Is it safe to bore it out?

It depends on cylinder construction, if it's plated then you no. unless it's cheap for you to bore & plate it.

Okay well thank you very much user you have been very imformative

Getting a lighter bike is always a big win.

You shouldn't be nervous about getting a 2T, many started with 2T bikes and was able to rebuild it at age of 10-14.

>how would you go about increasing power?
getting big bore kit, getting different bike.

I bet you'll have a lot of fun with that bike even w/o modding it for more power.

So I dont have anything to worry about maintenance wise so long as I take care of it? Do I need to do anything differently? Its a really nice bike is all

Mixing gas, and not engine braking
Also, a 65 is a small bike, why not go for a 125?

Its a cheap bike and its in great condition.
I swap bikes a bit might go for something bigger next time

Remember this is a 2 stroke.
I rode it not long ago and it scared the shit out of me. Im buying it

Okay, i was just thinking a 125 so you could have a full sized frame. My first bike ever was a 250 2stroke and yeah it was really scary riding it for a while

As far as it goes it is only just big enough for me. Im a small lad so I can afford to go smaller and this can be an advantage when considering weight, like me and this bike brings the combined total weight to ~125-145kg
