Hello all,
I have been lurking these forums for several months now and this is my first post. I have found heaps of helpful knowledge here, and I figured I should chime in to say hi!
I completed my first build over this past summer. It is a 66cc bone-stock 2 stroke that I put on an older Bridgestone bike, and I have about 100 miles on it. Another tank of 16:1 and I will call it broken in and switch to 24:1 or so.
When spring arrives I plan to make a few upgrades to the engine, namely replacing the cylinder and carb with a ported jug, 21mm OKO carb, windowed piston a DIO reed setup and a Zeda 66 pipe. I am kind of a big guy (6' 5", 240 lbs), and I am looking for mostly low to mid-range power, I really don't care about how fast I can get the bike going as I live in Minneapolis and the speed limit is 30 mph pretty much anywhere you go in the city.
Do you all think that those would be good upgrades for good off-the-line power, or should I simply port/polish the stock cylinder and trim the piston skirt?
Thanks in advance for any responses!
