I have an all stock 200X that I am looking to get more PEP too. I was wondering if I could do a porting and polishing job to it by myself or if I would just be better off taking it to someone else to do? Has anyone out there doen this on there own. If so any advice or insturctions?

take it to be done. take a before and after pic and compare them. then after that you can do it yourself

That would be a good idea I was thinking of maybe getting a second head off of Ebay and taking that one in to get done and leaving one stock. Always good to have spares...

I wouldn't get into cutting the ports at all if I were you but I'd take a sandpaper bit to a dremel and smooth out all the ports. I know in cars when you start to cut the ports it's usually a good idea to have a gasket to match your porting too, and they never cut the botom of the ports, only the top and sides. If you just have a 200x, see if you can pick up another head, use the worse head of the two and do a do it yourself port job and put it on the bike and see how it fares. Those machines only have 2 ports, so it wont take long and wouldn't be hard or expensive. I'd try it maybe if you can afford another head and the time.
