Question for Woods11

[Cutters]

Wood11,

Would just like to ask you a question regarding your Pitster Pro that you poster on the 'official post pics of your bike thread' here on the 28th May 09 - http://www.miniriders.com.au/mini-chat/9549-official-post-pics-your-bike-thread.html

Mate, I also have a the LX. Just wondering what the V2 head is that you speak of? And the cost of such a thing.

I also noticed you added a pod to the carby rather than utilizing the more protectice airbox. Do yyou find this adds more power, and have you had any issues with water or dust?

Overall, how have you found the bike? I have had a few niggling annoying issues to begin with, hopefully they are all sorted now. Am getting used to the thing now, having come off big bikes, and starting to love it.

Cheers for any input you can give dude...

Pretty pricey . But its Bolt on Horsepower.

[Cutters]

eeeek!! That is an expensive upgrade!

Any opinions? Worth it?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

if you need more power. then yes probably the best upgrade you can do to a Yx engine.

then theres the bigger bores , which go into some high numbers!

Ha! Thanks for prompting me to ebay! I better stay away tho. At that price I will sit on it for a little longer. Dont need more power that bad at this stage, give it a few months I think...

Cheers dude.

I'm sure I have also seen big bore kits for these motors too boost them up to 199cc

Yer thats what i was saying before , but your better off upgrading the head to a V2 before you go any bigger in bore.

 

[Cutters]

Righto,

I've figured it all out!

Judging by the pics and questions that I ask in my original question, looks like Woods11 have put in a full big bore kit (I am assuming). Can see the red air filter, and he mentions v2 head etc. Look like he has added this:

Classic Honda 50's Australia - TB 184cc Bore Kit, Race Head V2 and 28mm Carb Kit - GPX-YX160 [TBW9040]

Bloody expensive upgrade. Going the big bor kit youd be looking at v2 head, new carby, etc etc. 1000 bucks whoooooo.

For the LX I would suggest just the TB V2 head and an OKO 28mm carb which is what my LX runs. Worth every penny in my opinion as is very easy to kick over and reliable.

The RX runs the 184 which is a beast of a motor but can be hard to kick and will shred your clutch.

The LX has been an awsome bike so far. I am using the pod filter as it makes carb removal for jetting and cleaning easier but on wet, muddy days i use the airbox. I think PitsterPro did a test and found the pod gave more power but i didn't notice any difference between the two.
