2 Strokes Down Under

It sounds as though you've done a great job to get it running that well, Pat.It'd be very satisfying after all that effort stripping the engine.It'll be interesting to hear how much of a difference the 122.5 makes, if you end up doing that. I wouldn't risk going as far as the 120, like you say. I'm ...

So I ordered some jets and started stepping it down. 135 standard so I went 130s first. It was better but still not right. Then 125s and it is just about right. I have 120s also but dont want to go too far and I reckon I could get it better playing with the neddles and mixture screws. That's really...

I've just seen your replies, guys, so apologies that I caught a dose of SARS (Slack Arse Response Syndrome!). Nice bike was that the one Scotts were selling. I prefer the black ones to the blue ones.

Cheers,
Paul.

I just PM'd you about that RZ5 that you had for sale, by the way. Have you still got it? If so, how much are you...

It's interesting to hear how you're getting on with it, Pat. That blocked breather hose was a good find! As Markus says, they were jetted on the rich side at 135 compared to the 500's 120 jets, so I would try going down to 130 125, or 120 as it's still on the standard jetting to see what difference ...
