Good video, man I thought for sure my Arctic Cat was going to need rings. I got lucky and mine ended up being the valves. I adjust everything and compression went from 25 to 175.
I have a XR 200 also and it doesn’t get spark. I’ve changed the spark plug and spark plug wire and the CDI box and I don’t know what is wrong with it. I open the CDI cover, and the thing that holds the weights is broken. I don’t know if that could be why it’s not getting spark
Ahhh yes the Namura piston… they are great im two strokes a lot of people call them a pissed off piston very strong JE pistons are excellent as well i love weiseco but they melt in a lot of my 4 strokes
@@LilBJessup fuck ya it will be dosile like a tractor that goes anywhere but yet have some snap to it as well when you want it while also keeping everything together very well balanced pistons
Can you gain a lot by doing some performance mods on it. I consider this as my first project bike. What I am thinking is the following 220cc bore Stage 2 cam PWK or Mikuni Flatslide pumper "Racing" exhaust. 1 teeth smaller front sprocket Would a build like this do much difference from stock and how would the longevity of the engine be with these mods?
The xr is a pretty reliable motor, the cam and carb will help a lot, make sure the cam is machined to take a roller bearing and not just be set in the head like stock, as long as you keep the oil changed and full it is going to be reliable.
That motor teardown editing is awesome!!!! Another great rebuild and hopefully that new piston will last a good while for ya!!
I'm slowly figuring out how to make decent edits! The XR rips now better than it ever has.

Thanks dude! I was certain it was the valves untill I double checked. This bike gets used and abused because it is my loaner bike.

yea if that is broken, there is no indication to fire.

I figured I would try a namura out because my XR is my budget based bike! So far so good

Check the pickup on the cam or flywheel

@@LilBJessup thanks for the tips. Does it have a CV carb stock?
How’s the piston holding up I’m looking at this piston to buy for my rebuild
It is doing well! I recommend it for sure
Mine blew..use Pro x piston or stock
How is your piston holding up? I get mix reviewed of this piston
Works good, no issues
How's this bike doing, should I use this brand in my drz400
works great, the only difference is the piston is cast instead of forged.
@@LilBJessup yea I think I'm gonna give it a shot I subscribed to your channel good job buddy
@@jessecrawford2711 thanks man!
