TE/TC 17 TE 150

Walt,

The RK Tech head gives it a nice crisp rasp to it.

It's blowing some nice pressure out the exhaust when you crack it.

Also! Guys that contributed! Thanx for your help or advice!

WOW, that looks bad arse, how about a full size pic

Assuming a pic?

Let me know and I can post one up?

You tell me?

More

Ha!

nice work darty!

Came out sweet!

Do we dare ask how much it cost & labour hours involved?

Just put it in ya pool room-too pretty to ride!

yeh looks great - great work as usual . You've just gone a step too far with the yellow hand grips haha

Looks amazing! You must have done a few laps on it?!

Thanx guys!

Walt, no I have not taken it for the maiden voyage yet.

I kinda want to take it easy till get new piston broken in.

Also, fired it up with old gas. I need to get some at T2 ordered. From there after it is broken in. Want to get my custom needle in with correct slide combo. Then pair it up with yellow, blue or red spring, since they have to be kinda timed together.

At some point I want to make my own cone pipe and try some different designs.

Guys, I probably have $1200 or less in bike. I have no idea on man hours but prob a lot.

I only do this to a bike that I really like and know that it is a keeper.

John B sent me his bowl nut/hose mod to check gas height float level.

I tried it before putting carb on. Kinda neat how you can see your gas level in the hose.

Wow, pro level look

Ok, couldn't resist to ride it some since yard was dried out some.

Walt, perfect umpf in bottom end from the head.

No bludder from reeds and even think the throttle response is lil better. So, not sure if it is head or reeds.
I think might even have more top end and that was my fault for not matching carb bore with my intake.

There is no blips, hesitations, hits or nothing.

Ok here is the next issue I'm having. I can be cruising in 5th gear and stand the mother straight up in the air and keep wheelie ing into 6th.

I am having some slight pinging and am sure it is the old gas. That should go away with the T2.

Think my fall jetting is spot on for now for break in.

Yes, that was my impression. Just a nice bump in the bottom/early mid. Definitely change that fuel out.

Walt, I sure will!

Oh and don't take this as comming off bragging.

It's just the facts....... The head and reeds made this bike a lot better and my stupid oversight.

Gosh, I sure hope that the cylinder don't blow off this bike. I don't know how much more you could ask for?

I might look into a 150 kit again, I'd like to keep it as a 125 though. It's nice out running guys on bigger 4 strokes with the smallest engine displacement in a full size bike.

The Scalvini pipes are awesome, I had one on a XC 150 that I had and it blew the FMF Fatty that I had on it out of the water.

Thanks, for the input guys. (Sorry about the big picture, I'm still new to the forum thing. I can't figure out how to insert the small pictures like all you cool dudes)

I've ridden Italian and Austrian Husky 125/150's of all stripes.... big bore and bore and stroke. It's just easier to ride a 150 in the woods. On a 125 all you do with mods, is chase power around the powerband... If you increase bottom you steal it from somewhere else and vice versa.

As you say though.... There's nothing quite like getting the most out of a 125 in front of your bigger displacement buddies! I still cherish making it up a wet, snotty hill on my '15 TE125, in a Sprint Enduro, littered with bigger bikes!

Might have a bucket of T2 by the weekend.
