The DGN was extremely lean on the straight diameter for me.

I'm running a DGK, 38 pilot, 175main & #6 slide.

@ 400-2000' elevation

You can make the core exp work with some modifications and fabrication

Well when I got the bike in pcs the kid took the swinger and put it on his 2007 cr125 cause it has a broke chain tensioner bolt so I have the 2007 cr125 one and it is slightly too wide to fit I did work it over a little and got it to fit but had to remove one of the spacer washers that the thin ...

Ya I have already done a lot of searches I just figured it wouldn't hurt to post whore a little on here. I came up with the base line I posted up, just figured I'd ask the hoons again

Honestly there are SO many variables its unlikely that anything suggested will be exactly right for your bike ...

So far I like it

Nice aren't they...

Add a lever and they are even better.

The DGN was too lean for me. I'm running a DGL currently.

will a gen5 450 kicker get past the peg better?

It looks like it should. have people been using them on the 500s?

The ktm fits and clears, but needs more leverage or more pressure bled off.

I'll have to do some measuring.

Went climbing this weekend. It was the first time riding this particular bike since June.

I was having detonation issues last time out and cut the head to try eliminate the issue (on pump) It may have helped a bit, but by the 3rd hill I was pinging again. I switched to 50/50 94/100LL and it ...

Are you hitting your top foot of the peg when kicking? My foot hurts so bad after a weekend It's making me want to build a E-start.

The EXC's are longer in the cradle.

Always good to see all the different approaches to advance the old beast.
You maw want to angle the cable a bit, should put less stress on the decomp button.
I like that you have made a simple adaptor for a no weld decomp system, are you using a copper washer or oring for the seal?

The adapter is ...

I used a stock KTM rfs decompression cable and lever (any hot start or decamp should work)

It's not good looking but it's functional. I need to machine the whole setup out of Al, but this was quick to make.

I drilled and tapped the head (8x1.25) for a decomp there was plenty of room for that thread size (at least on my head.) The valve was 10x1.0 and I thought could get away re-threading for use w/o a adapter. Needless to say I was in a hurry and didn't think it through. I'll be turning an adapter as ...

Thanks

Just some pics of the cdi placement, coolant block off for the head, and carb fitment.

Where did you get the oversized coolant outlet and plug for the head? I need that same setup.

I machined it. The head needs ...

Looks like you had some fun!!!! And it's running good!!

Where's it detonating at a real low rpm lugging it around or on the hillclimbs???

It could be allittle lean?? If not ,cut down the squinch pad to 15mm wide

How's the temp running , are u using ktm rad cap or cr???

On the climbs when it's ...

ended up having some detonation issues

I hear yall my bad my bad , about the gears 😔again my bad , about the aluminum cases it was the year they went to aluminum ENGINE CASES not the waterpump side case , and yes its true that was changed in 89



Oh the mag engine case.... :roll: do tell, what years were the center cases made ...

That was 89

I've been thinking about this for awhile, it seems like a better solution for tightening up the squish clearance.

I assume the converted head uses the same o-rings as the pro design head?

looking to pick up a stator side case that cracked the clutch actuator boss (threw a chain)

I'm working on a full hyd clutch conversion and need one to cut for testing.

Compression release doesn't work as a check valve, if while you are riding you get some dirt or sand around the unit it could suck stuff in. an easy fix would to put on a water ballon (without the water), just like a normal condom, could save you some expence down the road :wink:
Cheap enough to ...
