Diff'rent Strokers

If considering an engine change for your second project bike, I came across this by chance today: think this is a Chinese copy of the DT230 Lanza engine. There are mentions of 250cc everywhere, but if ...

So some questions I have for folks:

1) I would like to have more power, the 35hp is pretty good, 40-45 would be perfect for me

Richard,

I've replied to you in detail by PM.

For yours and everyone else's benefit; the 1YW Silentbloc does have a 12mm bore, but this is taken care of by the special centre spacer used to adap ...
