the NC29 is carbed.
my manual covers the NC23 and NC29 ind it does seem to show two diagrams of different carbs L,N,R models and J,K models.
the L,N,R all being NC29 and the J,K being NC23.
i seem to have found the difference between the two models but now i wonder is it possible to change my NC23 carbs for a set of NC29 carbs?as far as i was aware the only difference between the NC23 and NC29 was a slightly different shaped tail piece and the swingarms (gull arm/ tri-arm) im pretty sure the power output and engines are identical but then it makes me wonder why power commanders and jetting kits are only avaliable for the NC29 and it actually states “NOT FOR NC23” ??
..i have also just realized i seem to have two accounts!
haha i think i may have made another when i forgot both my username and password but my two computers remember each different account everytime i come onto the site haha il have to get rid of one!i havent been able to find a jet kit for it.
the internet tells me that they dont make one for mine (nc23 tri arm) only the NC29 gull arm model?? are the bikes really so different?
its the standard can although when i bought it, it looked like someone had attacked the baffle with a hole saw and removed most of it haha!
i have now managed to get the last rusted chewed up remains of a baffle out of the can so its just a straight through pipe.
im looking at a pipeworx can to replace it though.
yeah std box and filter too.ahh scrap that idea then!
i assumed that seein a few with the 600 engines in meant they worked relatively well but hey not all ideas are good ideas haha!
think a friend of mines got his quad booked in on a dyno next weekend so i may see if i cant get my bike down there too as hes told me its only £60 for an hours running on the dyno and tuning!
cheers guys!ive had another thought and checked into RD250 engines!
according to the good old (usually not very reliable) internet these engines pump out between 30 and 35 BHP
which would easily be enough of power increase being a 2 stroke too but i cant see the engine fitting going well and as is always the case all the engines i see that are reasonable are living 300 miles away!
would it be worth getting an rd engine because it would also need a watercooling system fitting to my bike too?
or did they do air cooled RD250s at all?ive had a look and cant seem to find any of the exc250 engines for sale!
any ideas on how good the old honda CM250 engines are?not at all
well i reacently lost my job so ive got the time and a bit of cash to fix it up
il have a look at two stroke dirt bike motors and get some pricing!
if i manage to get the parts to do it il get as many pics as possibleNooo im on a full licence with my cbr400 NC23 sat in the garage too.
ive kept hold of my 125 as just a bit of fun plus its so much easier riding through ice and snow to get to and from work in the winter on my 125 than it is on the cbrs battlaxes haha.
but now ive decided as i love all things out of the ordinary to make my 125 dream a bit better than the rest.
my main goal is to just get my old dream to beat my friends cbr125 which would mean attempting to get around another 10 to 15mph out of it.
which i know will be difficult as my dream has the aerodynamics of a brick and is a bigger physically sized bike than the cbr125.
although with mine being a twin and the cbr being a single cylinder idv thought i had the edge on him with power anyways :Scheers guys!
id be able to weld up some brackets and braces easy enough.
i think the cb200 engines put out around 14BHP and i think the 125 produced around 12BHP.
so looking further into it im seeing theres not going to be much difference [xx(]
i was also considering boring the cylinders out but i dont honestly think theres enough room to do it.
ive looked at attempting to up the power of my 125 engine but the only things i can really think of is replace the air filter and attempt to find a way of getting a better exhaust on it which could prove difficult as the only exhausts made were a full piece arrangement with no way to swap cans[

any other ideas on upping the power of the original engine?
cheers!
