I can't wait to see what this does for you!!! I really believe that larger intake valve size is the key to unlocking the power potential of the 70mm BBK on an XR.
@@DustySteel For peak high rpm performance I say yes. For the reality of drivability it could be to big. All I can say is try it and see what happens. Generally I think about 4mm smaller than intake valve size may give a good balance here.
@@MishMashMoto okay so 4mm smaller than the 36mm intake valve would be 32mm. I can try it at some point when I can afford another carb lol. Are you on the lookout for a 28mm pwk and maybe some stock mirrors? I put a 32 pilot in with the clip on the needle being one up from the middle (where it was before trying different needle positions) and now it fires right up.👍 Power Wheelie in first gear with stock gearing still.
So will this head match the Big Bore Kit 222cc , sleeve/pistion ? And Please where did you find this kit . And what was the price . Did I notice you seem a little concerned about the finished edges and the factory machining and trimming . Did it need a little smoothing , the valve seat looked like it had some cuttings blocking the opening . Can't what till it installed and tuned . Good luck keep us posted Please. PS Links Please if possible.
@@philipcloutier2553 this is SXParts Big Valve Cylinder Head 36/31 like the title states. I also ordered their 70mm forged piston for this head. It’s for crf150L I believe but should fit just fine. It probably does need to be smoothed, I have only looked at it so far. Made the video and then put everything away. I probably won’t install until next week sometime. Today with the cheap $70 BBK and BBR cam I was able to do 72mph flat with some light wind from the side. I’m 6’2” and weigh a little over 200lbs. I will try to post a link in the description.
@@DustySteel Thanks for your prompt reply. That's great . I am looking to achieve 72mph to 75mph As I live in the country and I would like to take 2 or 3 exits on the freeway to shorten my trips . I realize that even 75mph on a sub 300lbs. bike is a risk because in strong winds , one could easily get blown off the road . May I ask what carburetor you decided to use and what jets worked best . Thanks again . Waiting for more great content .
@@philipcloutier2553 yeah, that’s our goal too and to not have it lose so much speed going up hills. I live in the foothills of the Rockies so my elevation is at 5500’ and I’m running a cheap $40 PWK with a 30 pilot and a 120 main with the needle in the middle position.
@@ChrissScooterSupportGroup hey Chris; thanks for watching and subscribing if that was you. I used the stock xr150l cam tower and rocker arms. Stock cam gear also. I kept the valve lash the same after trying their recommendation.
@@ChrissScooterSupportGroup this head doesn’t have the exhaust tube from the valve cover so that’s something that needs to be kept in mind if using stock emission equipment.
@@jaybraxton5625 I did just notice today that the 36/31 is sold out. They might still have the smaller size but I’m not sure, I’d have to look again. I did buy it from SXParts.

You are definitely correct on that!!
If the intake side of the head is 32mm then should I technically be running a 32mm carb?

"Oh no, my 'crometer'!" 😂
@DustySteel - did you use the xr150l cam tower and rocker arms? or did you have to find crf150 cam tower and rockers. Thanks Chris

@@ChrissScooterSupportGroup you’re welcome!
Trying to get the same head. Shows out on the website. Did you order from SX Parts?
@@jaybraxton5625 I did just notice today that the 36/31 is sold out. They might still have the smaller size but I’m not sure, I’d have to look again. I did buy it from SXParts.
How much horsepower will produce with this kit?
@@naufaltsabitadz6327 thanks for watching and subbing, if that was you! I’m not sure how much hp because I haven’t had it dyno’d.
