General Two Stroke Talk / What are the symptoms of the big end bearing worn?
« on: August 11, 2013, 11:47:29 PM »
Do you mean, crank bearings or conrod bearing?
The only way to correctly determine wear is to check the specs and measure with correct instruments as per manual.

Check out ktm 250 dyno report. (red is scalvini)

Thats impressive gains. On paper anyway. I've been hunting for something that would pull further into the top end without loosing the torquey, hooked up bottom end that I love. Now that I've found it, the price frightens me
Oh Yeah!! $$$$, but you would seriously have the toughest looking pipe on the start line.

« on: July 29, 2013, 11:17:22 PM »Like I said not trying to be rude just making a point. It bothers me when I ask a question and get an answer unrelated to what I asked lol. My gf does that lol. Anyways here is a few pictures for reference to me on the kx
I'm not the fastest guy around for sure but I do know how to handle a dirtbike a little lol.
Not trying to be rude....but being a good rider, doesn't make you a good mechanic and vice versa...but to answer your original question 100hrs on a crank is too long for a fast guy, but you already knew that right

Don't worry about port work, after a new bottom end, cylinder and top end you will notice a huge increase in performance....100 hrs on a piston, sheesh!!, where's the slap across the chops emoticon when you need one.

Are you sure the crank is not just jammed with a piece of the piston?
How many hrs on the piston ? A broken skirt is usually caused by to much clearance between piston and cylinder.
Looks like a 125 piston, so 100hrs on a 125 crank is getting long in the tooth.

General Two Stroke Talk / 2012 KTM 250SX Issues
« on: July 10, 2013, 01:05:30 PM »
KTM air filters are absolute PITA's to get on, and have many times give me a false sense that it's seated properly when it's not, and the standard twin air filters last about three washes before they loose their shape and strength and turn into limp bits of foam.
I've just invested in some Funnel web filters and hopefully they do a better job......any way enough about me, you can try a new filter, and check the seal between the carb boot and the air box, if you ride in deep or fine sand I would also recommend a filter sock (pantyhose are cheap and easy).
That first piston looks like the skirt is about to drop off, your cylinder could be badly worn.
