I'm all pumped to install my stroker crank and 54mm cyl. and piston tomorrow. It'll be going in the bitchin' green K-4.
Currently the bike has an 88 kit with the TB v1 race head, NHRS pipe, bigger intake, race mild cam oil cooler and high volume oil pump as well as a new clutch with heavier springs (3sp auto clutch) and VM20 Mikuni carb with a K&N pod filter.
Now the questions.... What should be my base starting point for main jets and pilot jet? Also, will the stock sprocket combination be good or is there a better combination that is recomended by those that are running a 117cc configuration? If it helps I'm at about 800-950 ft above sea level. My measured tire circumference is 55.125"
The jets I currently have start at 130 and go to 160 in #5 increments.
One last thing, weather or not it has a bearing on things. When I pulled the head a couple weeks ago, the top of the piston and combustion chamber were very dark brown to black yet my plug was bone white. Should I consider dropping down a couple heat ranges on my plug or just let sleeping dogs lay?
Looking forward to your input.
Mike.
