If I were going 4T, it would have been the Beta.

I tried to kindle an affection for the 4-stroke but I couldn?t muster it.

I?ll look do to a video report in a couple of weeks.

No ride video yet. Head is at RK-Tek getting squished.

Rosin core measured at ~1.8mm.

As I was applying my race graphics I remembered I hadn?t checked the piston height in the barrel.

At BDC, the piston is flush with the exhaust port, while being a goodly bit above the intake port. Maybe a couple mm.

I'm going to squish my 250.. Maybe tuesday!

Are you keeping the port timing the same? Can you see how many gaskets they've stacked in under the jug?

I have no rationnale to alter the port timing.

The gasket appears to be a single, black (0.5mm) unit. No green showing.

Exhaust is perfect. What happens if I add thicker base gaskets to all of that?

You'd move the power curve up further.. and have an even bigger squish clearance.

I was just curious. TBH I haven't even really had a look over my new bike yet.

More top end, less bottom. You will be increasing the squish clearance on your new rk head as well.

Lot?s going on in the garage when I get back from my 40-year high school reunion.
Lectron carb, RK-Tek milled head. Bib Mousse tire inserts...
