    I have a modded carb that a fellow member gave me that works sweet on my Walt high compression CR144 so I'm hoping it will do the same for the WB165. If it doesn't I think I may get a new carb from Kelly.

    John,

    My darling wife said that your top end is at my house with quite a few other goodies. My guess is that your 144 settings will work pretty well with minor admustments for the 165. Should be home early next week to get to work.

    Cool Walt. My poor Ex 144 is just sitting in the garage topless waiting as some light snow falls. No worries it will be back up in the 60*'s by mid week. Can't wait and I have the head swap deal down now. Thanks enjoy the rest of your stay.:cheers:

    The new pipe works great. My tire choice and 14/52 gearing was perfect. Very muddy event. I tore a groin muscle which slowed me down but I ended up 12th out of 44 entries in class.

    I rode yesterday with a little additional snow (6-12" total). Some deep drifts that worked as the "Dirt Bike Dyno". I'd say the 165 is nicely broken in now.... starts a little easier and revs a little more freely. When you push it in the snow, you can see peak RPM's for power has dropped, but just shift up and enjoy that torque curve!:cheers:

    Ouch on the groin pull Vinduro; congrats on a soild finish. I may end up with the same gearing. Walt I still say a golf course is best played on two wheels.

    is there a market for the old 125 cylinders (in good condition) or can the new 125/144 cylinders now be bored to 165.i will be looking at a 144 next rebuild and was wondering if a pert ex on a new 144 cylinder would be the go.

    Most 125 cylinders can be referbished to a 165cc.
    This morning, my left thigh is mostly black and blue ! Some bluing from the previous weekend on my right leg. I am hobbling around like an old man. My right eye is half blood red due to getting roosted by Bobbit and Farringer.

    Glad you had a good time now that your mine is clear what it the next thing you are going to come up with in the world of the 165

    Walt I just had to give you a hard time since you got time off and I was working
