yeah havent been on at all really but im gonna be buildin an trail blaster that i could take out on a track if id like to. what pipe and other stuff should i do to the motor?
Well this is generally personal preference and rider preference obviously, but people tend to strive for more torque and midrange power on trails. In my opinion a great XC setup?:
-Some form of a 240 kit....not the most important as the displacement change truthfully doesn't net a large increase in power or torque, but you will gain a bit in both simply form the displacement change.....some manufacturers offer different porting maps altogether while others will just resleeve and port for you.
-1 of the 2......milling the head for added compression or a stroker engine....milling is less expensive obviously...rechamber the head while your at it. Increased compression will net some power across the board, but most noticeably a more torquey seat of the pants feel on the trails.
-Trail port and polish.....this is up in the air....pick a porter and tell them what you want with your setup and they will give it to you.
-A mid range carb....for example.....if a setup calls for a 32-35mm carb(depends on specific setup), go for a 33-34mm carb so you are pulling some bottom end still. An aid to that if need be is going with a slightly longer balancer tube on the air box side of the carb if you are running a clamp on filter.
-Reeds.....my preference are carbon fiber reeds on a stock carb or an aftermarket reed cage with carbon fiber....lighter and a tiny bit of power increase across the board, but more importantly to be more/quicker throttle response in lower RPMs.
-Pipe of your choice...I run an LRD......I like it for a trail setup as it's mostly a midrange pipe(at least with my current setup). There are tons of pipes though.
