Yeah, i'll mess with it tomorrow & let you guys know how everything goes. Im also putting '87 CR 250 Forks on my bike. I got all the kinks worked out and am just waiting for the forks to get back from the honda shop. Theyre putting in new seals

Thx for the quick responses

Power up kit is a must have for any 230 owner.

My local dealership had never heard of one ?

My sons 230 runs great with quite few mods and a

quick story . I had an aftermarket silencer on it

off an XR200R and thought it ran better but after building a different silencer core for the stock one I have to take that back.

Now it runs terrific , great torque and hits the rev limiter in a heart beat.

I used a 9'' piece of 1 1/8 ID aluminum pipe and drilled it with alot of holes and wrapped in glass / steel wool and then wrapped with mechanics wire. Nice sound and good power ,, especially for a stock 9-1 motor.

This final core insert I made was after a dozen
other designs that didn't really work good.

No , I don't think my only design is the hot ticket , it takes some R & D .

With the bike totally uncorked , I'm running a 45 / 135 jetting . Engine is in top shape with virtually no blow by so the plug is a slight tan at the midsection of the porcelin center electrode.


Installing a 11:1 piston this winter and will start with a 138 main and go up from there.

Most people who comment their plug being black is not from fuel but from some oil blowing by the rings.

I wanted a little more bottom end so I installed a 7/8" x 1 1/2" spacer on the inlet side of the silencer core , still hits the rev limiter easily.
