Riding too Hard?

[this guy]

Has anyone here ridden so hard the oil in your forks flies out the schrader valves on top of your forks? Excuse to put the 85 front end on I think?

[Dirtcrasher]

I'd imagine there is a hair too much oil, your bottoming or the air valve is leaking...........

It's bottoming, hard! I was trying to keep up with XR650s in whoop sections.
How well do the 84 tecates respond to porting changes? It feels like the motor has a lot of horsepower hidden in there, or are they just not all that fast?

[dcreel]

They respond well to porting, any 2 stroke will. Or you can get the 83-84 KX cylinder that outperforms the KXT cylinder by a long ways. Then you can port the KX cylinder and be even faster. :D

you can do all the porting you want... but that tecate will never keep up with a motorcycle through whoops...

[MudBug]

not to hijack the thread, but how do you port? do you just basically take some material out of the ports with a dremel, or do you need a pro to do it?

BTW, you can never ride too hard ya know ;)

I know its not the best idea, but This thing could realy use a lot more yank!!! I normally ride big bore bikes and require a power delivery that doesn't pull, it hurls you foreward! I'm working on the suspension issues. Is the Dg pipe any better than stock or is it like the IT490 and the oddessy where it is just a replacement?
Who makes a good exhaust for thiese things?

[cr480r]

yes the dg is better than stock. It might not be the best, but it works quite well imo..

Any advice on how to increase the power of this motor or am I just going to need a husky 510 motor?
It has the ricky stator, ohlins shock, richter silencer
