    This should be interesting. I have had this cylinder with all the amazing 165 kits mods Walt does sitting in a box for months as I could not bring myself to install it on a bike than runs so good as is. Last night I finally did it. I did not realize the cylinder Walt sent me was an old FBF cylinder and looks to have had some porting??? Also added a completely unknown HUGE fat Doma for a KTM 200 and the APT. Hence the Frankenbike thought. The up side is it fired right up, sounds wonderful and ran fantastic around the hood last night. Smooth and loads of bottom. More testing and reporting in the near future.

    BTW that doma is fat up front with a long singer, that made the kick start / oil fill area wide open which is very nice. It sticks out a good bit though.

    FBF had already knife edged the lower transfers and port and polished the exhaust. Any other port work they did was compromised by the boring and I tried to re-create their port heights. Although when I measured it before boring, the transfers and exhaust port appeared to be at stock heights. It is pretty hard to keep the exact stock heights as the ports get lowered when boring and pre-porting can only go so far.

    Nice. Is the 7-transfer cylinder better? I've always thought they look impressive, but not sure they ran any stronger at 125cc.......

    Got a quick ride in. I thought this might be a handful of a rocket ship but it is not. What it is is a GREAT running super smooth most linear 2 stroke I have ever ridden. No hit anywhere just excellent pulling power and throttle response from any RPM. I did not touch the carb, and it was perfect. Throttle response is instant and there is power everywhere. My 09 WR125 with 165 kit and FMF pipe was amazing, I think this might be better. It is very smooth and powerful everywhere. I lucked out on all my parts and setup working out. This ride was just a quick half day ride / test, in the rain, on slick clay, covered in 2" of damp leaves and goo, on user trail that is not maintained well and lots of slick branches and trees to cross. About the slickest mess you could think off and all that with some sizable hill climbs and on a used and abuse bald rear tire. I felt like I have street tires on all day and it was an ice rink. Still had fun, motor really impressed me and the one real big climb was a blast and the motor dominated it. Hope to get a better feel for it tomorrow on more normal trails.

    I think the old cylinder makes more power and is EZer to jet. All the 04-08 CR125 I have ridden were fast.

    yes. It is actually a old style (04) ported FBF 135 cylinder. I'm pretty much in love with mine as well but not enough to trade the wife unit for it.

    Does anyone know if the older style cylinders like this with the two power valve drain hoses if the drain hoses are supposed to be plugged? One is and one is not.

    Kelly,

    They are both open but the lower one has only a very small hole so it drains the chamber while the top one lets the gasses escape. I like this system as it reduces the amount of spooge that goes out the pipe. Just drain the lower line about every other ride.

    Have you let it rip on the top yet? Just curious if it pulls farther.

    Kevin,

    Your 167 and Jon's 165 are identical motor wise except Jon's is the 165 kit. No comparison in my opinion between how the two run. Jon's runs better everywhere and he has the more restrictive Q silencer. JMO.

    I have to go find another HO HO before they are gone

    He hasn't yet Walt. Something about a bald rear tire, 2' of wet leaves, wet branches, wet rocks, etc.......:D. You need to show him how to hold a WB165 with SC wide open!
