    Here in Brazil we have quite a list of modifications for this bike. Focus on improving bottom end power and torque. Handling and suspension is quite nice out of the box for what it is, but the engine response is quite soft when compared to any modern 2 stroke, smaller or bigger displacement.

      Any chance to share your modifications on this bike especially I am very curious to know what can be done for bottom end power and torque. I have very unpleasant feeling on first and second gear but super fun third+

      @@ScramblingLife We usually raise compression by shaving stock head up to 0.8mm without any downsides, 11T front sprocket, elongate the pickup coil bracket holes so you can advance timing by around 2.5°, this also doesn't have any downsides as the stock ignition timing is very mild, improves bottom response all the way to top. Some folks even go as far as changing the pickup location on the flywheel, going as far as 5° total degrees of advance. We also have acces to a programmable exhaust valve controller LTron is the name of the brand, it helps a lot with response all around. That's what I remember from the top of my head. Hope it helps.

    Sounds a lot like a dt is it the same engine as a dt 230 lanzia it looks identical to (the engine) if it is then it will be a perfect trail bike but I think it would probably struggle with bottom end power for the extremes, I’d like to see you at sonyas next extreme on it, straight in the deep end 👍🏼

      I’ll cover that in a future vid but there are a lot of interchangeable parts. Being what it is I’d buy the China replacement parts through the importer or dealers when they are set up.

      Not always going up the box quicker gear change. A drop of the revs and shift up. Clutch when going down the box at speed. 2T gearbox can take a lot if you know what your doing. Many use this principle.

      On a good bike- you never use the clutch to shift, up or down. You just lift up or push down on the shift lever and the gears will sync with the rpm. You should never hear the bike shift.

    • @jimarcher3711

      Flat shifting is a very good way to quickly round the engagement dogs off. Rolling the throttle a smidge unloads the dogs and does wonders for gearbox life.
