What type of motor work is right for me?

[AWD_XTC]

I have a stock shee and I am new to 2 strokes except for an old 80cc bike I had as a kid. I ride trails and open field alot. I was thinking about having some porting done by herr juggs. I was wondering what port ob I should go with. I want maximum power but I don't want to shift the power up so high into the rpm range that it becomes unusable. Also What other engine work should I consider doing? Different carb setup, reeds,etc. would it be a good Idea to stroke my shee? I like the idea of being able to use high rpms but the idea of extra torque is nice. I don't really do a lot of hill climbing and I never ride dunes. So what are your suggestions? Thanks.

I have an MX port on mine from FAST, and it is all around better then a stocker. Even the top end pulls a tiny bit better. I kept the stock stroke, but don't regret it. The bike is still plenty fun, and will run with 450s with twice as much $$ into them all day long. Id definately reccomend it if your just playing around in the fields and trails. Pipes are going to make a huge difference too depending on what your running.

 

Keep in mind that if you are going to do the port work it's best to do the port work and stroker at the same time, otheriwse youll have to go back and port the jugs again to match a stroker later on.

 

Did you do the +4 timing yet? Cheap easy mod that will give you some extra low end. Reeds wont make a big difference, and unless you get port work you dont really need carbs.

Thanks I was thinking about having the aggressive trail port done. I have not done that mod yet. Just got the bike actually. Also what pipes would be good. I have a friend that has a shee with fmf pipes and another that has toomey pipes. Would the toomey T6 be good? I heard that they don't like port work and to get either the fmf or the toomey T5.

Pipes are for the most part a preference. Ive run a ton of different stuff. My favorite are the Paul Turner Midranges. But the Fattys were nice, LRDs arent bad. T5s are nice pipes (stay away from the T6s if your doing port work), Pro Circuits, DMCs, etc etc..... all just a preference. But make sure you get a trail pipe, I wouldnt go sticking CPIs on there or anything like that, theyre gonna hit way too hard way too late.

T5s with port work is a really good decision.

 

I don't know how it would respond in the trails though...everything in FL is dunes, straight, or flat, so I can get away with a lot.

 

Other than that, it's personal preference.
