Hi all,
First off, I gotta say that the OldMiniBikes Warehouse is just awesome, talk about some great prices!
OK, I am looking at "building" my first GX200 clone this spring/summer. It will power a home made mini, and I want it to have a bit more HP, and speed than the stock clone I used and loved in my Tote Gote. I will be on a budget, but I do want to be safe, so here is what I have planned.
1. Remove Governor.
2. Remove factory exhaust, use a custom 14" header.
3. ARC6619 Billet flywheel (only $100 from OldMiniBikes!)
4. Billet Rod (only $59 from OldMiniBikes!), with the stock piston, should I use a +.10 or even a +.20?:shrug:
5. 18lb springs
6. 140 emulsion tube
7. Angled air cleaner and adapter.
I realize that there are all sorts of other things I could do to get more power, but I THINK (I really don't know as I have never modded a honda, or clone) that these mods will give me a safe motor, that will make more HP and run at much higher RPM, for about $200 in upgrades. Not bad $$$$$ wise.
Many of you have tons of experience with upgrading and modding these clones, am I missing something easy or cheap? Would I be better off doing something different than what I have planned?
Finally, is there anyone who has made roughly those same improvements, and if so, about what HP and RPMs could you produce?
Thanks for any feedback.:thumbsup:
