I just got this done today, but bike is still in bedroom and had a few quick questions ? Is it suppose to be really hard to kick over... I mean it almost feels like my old 250f trying to start it without pulling in the decomp. lever.. Or could I have something messed up maybe valves to tight etc ? Just wanted some quick ideas or maybe info from someone else who installed a 88 kit... thanks Jesse

 

here are a few pics ... :YEAH

Mine's also hard to kick over, but I think its just all the compression the new kit makes compared to stock. Also, after trying different oil weights, I find the heavier the oil the harder it seems to kick over.

Lastly, my old 79' z50 is effortless to start next to my xr 88cc. Your prob. just used to the stock fiddy.

 

I have an 88 kit and I start my 50 sitting down then I use my hand to kick it over starts first wack every time

 

88c kits are twice as hard to kick than a stock bike. there is so much more compression it is rediculous. if u are still in dout, just double check yerself. aint **** to go back and check valve clearance. what kit did u get and what did u pay??

 

389.95 Shipped Kitaco 20mm carb Cam

 

Where did you get it from?

call them and ask for anthony tell them Jesse sent you and he will hook it up

 

Thats what those breather caps are for. Relieves some of the compression in the head. U can make one your self too.

DO A SEARCH

 

Interesting... they have 2 kits for the same price.
The Kitaco Complete 88cc Big Bore kit comes with a 20mm carb,
Takegawa 88cc Hyper-S Stage Bore kit only comes with a 18mm carb which one is the better kit???

How was the instal ? Did it come with decent directions?
Thanks for the info.

 

you can never go wrong with kitaco

 

the name brand kits are very nice, but you are payng a premeium for the name/ status.... no name/drat parts just as good/Jap made, much cheeper. just my input.... I am going to hit up Fab5fiddy when its time for my big bore, I can get all of the same quality motor parts - brandname = 1/2 price

 

yo Jesse you bike is PIMP as hell.... very nice I cant wait to see you/ it Mon

 

thanx for the cheap plug FREE. yeah, i wouldnt steer anyone the wrong way in here. the cheaper kits are just as good. no fancy box, no instructions. big deal. very nice parts. ive installed, tuned, and rode all of em.

 

So what do the cheap kits cost? Where do you get them?? and how hard is it to get them to run correctly?

 

firstly welcome ism409... pm fab5fiddy for the hook up on the parts that you need, as well as free advice, for more info look up the past threads on big bores in the how to parts and mod forum.

 

Good lookin' out FREE and thanks for the welcome!
