I'm about to put the Takegawa 81cc Hyper E Stage big bore kit into my 2001 XR50R this weekend. Any interest in seeing a step-by-step tutorial of the procedure? If not, I won't bother taking all the pics!
Uh, ok, so don't shoot me... I started to take pics along the way, I'll post those, but I was just kinda into it and didn't take as many as I should have. Plus, I would have had to wash up so many times just to touch the camera. Anywho, the engine is together, just gotta put oil in it, attach the throttle cable to the throttle, and slap all the major assemblies together and see if it starts. Biggest pain of the whole thing: scraping the stock gaskets off! I did learn a couple tricks, and I think I can write a pretty good procedure in English so if anyone does this in the future I can send it to them or post it. Sorry for slacking!
Well I'm about to join the Fitty club. My good pal JP is currently on his way to MS to pick me up a new 2003 XR50 while I go off to a party :thumb: I guess I need to get busy and get the 50 tricked out for Dirtweek so that I can kick some butt on the mini-track :laugh:
Ha! I just got off the phone with JP. He told me about that. Mine lives! I need to shower up and head to the hardware store for a couple longer bolts to mount the gas tank on mine. The petcock is interfering with the new air cleaner, and my old foam pod filter has too small an opening to be used with the new carb. I have some tuning issues (I think), but man, she sure sounds sweet! I took some video of her running so you can hear it. Should be done with everything and have it all posted by tonight.
