Custom Shorty or Cannon?

[shaheeb]

I've run out of ways to make this little 200 go.

The head and cylinder were ported and machined by eric gorr strictly for LOW END after squish measurements were taken with test solders. 36mm carb in place of 38mm oe unit for low end. v force reeds were put in place of the gg stamped units.

Chasing a strong bog off the bottom, the result was a mean mid range punch that was too hard to control in the middle of hillclimbs.

jetting was the best yet with ddk/3rd, 42, 172, #6 slide. I just recently put in a 40/170 and waiting to ride. the 36 needs leaner settings than the 38mm did.

i just recently tried a g2 throttle cam. The 400 cam made the bike turn into a much more fun trail machine!!! Up until this point I did not really like the gasser to be honest! But, I have not ridden my ktm or my yz since then! which says alot because I get bored riding one bike all the time... you could say this bike has been a challenge. I think I must be picky as the trails are demanding.

I decided to get a Cannon silencer afterall. shortys always kick arse here in the short ultra tight trails we have. Next will be retarding the timing in hopes of putting the throttle cam back on the yz.
