General Two Stroke Talk / FMF Silencer

« on: April 17, 2010, 07:18:07 PM »

threads in this section seem to get more attention so i figured id ask here. I just got a powercore 2 silencer for my bike but it already has the header and reeds done to it. it runs fine now but will i need to rejet after installing it? or should i be all set because i already put the header and reeds on and got it running good

I went to the first open practice at southwick the day after the NEMX race and there was a ton of 2 strokes out there, way more then i expected. My buddy even blew a piston on his crf and the track guys were giving him a hard time at how much he was going to pay to rebuild it haha. But there was definately close to a 50/50 split in the novice and amateur classes

Technical / Seat Cover and graphics

« on: April 04, 2010, 06:58:41 AM »

Ok so I've never done either before but im assuming its pretty straight forward. I have new plastics as well so they wont be dirty, but is it just as simple as it seems? Wipe the plastics off and put the graphics on? is there any trick to it to make the graphics tacky? and for the seat cover do you just staple the new one where you want it? Just figured id ask before i did it

General Two Stroke Talk / Racing and Engine Displacement

« on: March 29, 2010, 07:17:54 PM »

So I'm looking more into how exactly two stroke motors work and i became very intrigued about engine size. why are 250 2 strokes not in the same class as the 250 f's? they are the same engine size just different mechanically. I also have always heard or been told that four strokes have more power, when it seems that is not the case. Sure the type of power maybe different but a 250 2 stroke would leave a 250f in the dust. Shouldn't 450 f's race against 450 2 strokes not 250 2 strokes? Whats the deal with that?

What exactly is project two 50? is it a rider on a 250 2 stroke racing in the pro nationals this year? and who is the rider? i think this is an awesome idea, i'd just like to know a little more about it. after doing some research and switching back to a 2 stroke myself i can't see why anyone would think 4 strokes are better.

General Two Stroke Talk / Just got a 2 stroke!

Just traded my rmz 250 for a sweet 05 kx250 ! im glad to be back on a 2 stroke, i have a question though. the bike i bought came with a bunch of sweet parts including v force reeds. To my understanding they have something to do with air flow? can anyone explain them better to me?
