Nice I’m about to buy one of these brand new and just 2 stroke swap it I got a kx80 motor that’s in my shed from a old snow cart build imma 2 stroke swap it and use the 4 stroke for something else
With respect. Changing the end can wont make any difference to the power. It will only change the sound! Change the header pipe, Change the carb to a Nibi, or a dellorto, Shave 3,000th of the head, advance the timimng, put stronger valve springs in it and convert it from petrol to methanol, then you can expect BIG GAINS in performance.
shaving .003" off the head wont do anything?! Did you mean .030''? Plus did you even do a valve interference test to confirm and what did you get as a result??
Yes it did at first.. I have a better explanation on which carb to get and the best setup for it in my other video on my channel. The $35 Amazon knockoff mikuni works perfect right out of the box.. but you will have to clean the jets in the carb out pretty often

@@PrinceIsa honestly you really don’t need it at all for this bike.. yea it gave me a little more power but I realized it wasn’t power that I was lacking for wheelies.. it was skill and technique lol just upgrade the carb, chain, sprocket, brake fluid, cdi box, and the tires for sure.. they have more than enough power

No take the stock carb off immediately‼️‼️‼️‼️ order the $35 knockoff mikuni carb on Amazon and put it right on so you can really enjoy the bike.. the one in this video was very difficult to get jetted properly.. but the vm22 mikuni carb on Amazon works perfect right out of the box.
