Vintage Two Strokes / Hi everyone. I'm new here to 2smokes anonymous. 125 Elsi question
« on: September 22, 2011, 11:33:03 PM »
Aloha from the Big Island of hawaii gang. I have a beautiful 1980 CR 125 Elsinore, she is the last year that we can race in Vintage class here in hawaii. Double springer, air cooled, drum brakes. ect.. Anyway she is a great bike, however she refuses to make any "real" power until 11000-11500 rpm. everything lower is clutch killing bog, I have rejeted her, she is crisp off the low side on the stand, But absolutely refuses to make any real torque. I am looking for any suggestions, tips, advise. Last season I was sponsored on a works 74 cz 400 ( to be referred to after as the Beast) and it was a torque monster, any where in the middle of these 2 bikes would greatly be appreciated. I love elsi and would hate to put a xr 250 into her. Lemme know whatcha got. Would love to hear some great ideas.
