I think it would be great if your bike started doing wheelies for ya after the upgrade. Just last night I spent about 2 hours making some improvements and a little experimenting and got a whole 1/2 mph top end.

Im looking into getting gasket material and making my own gaskets too. Should I buy Gasket sealer with the gasket material? Do i need it? Lemme know pleeeeeease
Much thanks

IF you use a quality gasket material and IF you face the surfaces (smooth and level) there's no need at all for the goopy gasket cheat...
I hate the sloppy stuff TBH, but there is two big "ifs" in the above sentence lol If it answers yer question any better, I don't have a drop of instagasket anywhere on my bike

Any rubber, paper or cork gasket a thin layer of the right silicone gasket sealer doesnt hurt. It will hold the gasket in place plus helps with a good seal. By thin layer I mean to almost just smear it on but just a lil thicker. With a rubber gasket you want to waite to install the part till the silicone gets tacky or the rubber gasket can have a tendency to slip out or squeeze out.
Thats very true bandito - but whadda thinkin'? Actually using the stuff the way yer supposed to?
Wow - yer crazy man... crazy
I developed my hatred of the stuff as a result of cleanin' up after other people that thought "more = better" ug...

Yes I do noticre a difference...there's some black goo around the edge of the intake pipe now LOL. It is however running smoother after changing from a paper fuel filter to a screen filter. I guess the oil being 16:1 ratio was too thick in cooler weather.
Actually George the only time you want to use a 16:1 ratio is at the initial break-in period.....after that 32:1 and with a synthetic oil you can go up to 50:1......I've been running mine at 40:1 with Pennzoil 2stroke and it's been working great......hope this helps...

I guess im gonna get it just to be safe cuz I dont want any leaks. Im not to worried about cleaning the stuff up either. Is there a particular gasket size/material I need to look for when I buy this stuff?
