How did the cam raceways look? Any debris scarring?

I'll pass on the bait to turn this into a ATGATT debate. Thank you, though.

After some thinking, I placed her on Craigslist to see what interest there is, since I see several 250's and a few 300/400's there needing some TLC for less than the asking price I have mine placed at. I also have a 2001 SV650S streetfighter, and a very nice  Katana that are both on the road right now. But I also like having something that I don't need to FULLY gear up for to ride. heh |

My variator kit for my 150 came with a shorter variator shaft as well. Not completely sure how much of an improvement it make

Cool. Yeah, that's the very same AC CDI that I have as well. Looking at big bore kits with cams right now  |

Off the top of your head, do you know what your intake and exhaust port diameters are vs. the stock head?? I'm assuming your larger free-flowing head is warranting the need for your larger carb, so I'd like to get a feel for what I would need to have done to my head, or if it's just cheaper to buy a BBK kit, with head and piston/jug

Ok. Just assuming that I can adjust the fuel however I need it, but I'm limited as to how much air I'm putting into my 24mm carb, minus the UNI filter. Now that you mention it, when I upped to a 125 mj, it would bogg out my motor on deceleration, and stall. the 120 main jet was just a bit too big as well.
Porting the stock head intake exhaust, as well as the combustion chambers? How about advancing the timing by one chain link on the timing chain? I have a Chinese racing CDI (blue), but I'm not too terribly certain as to how well it adjusts/advances the timing.

I'm running a stock carb with a 115 main jet now......think it would be a good starter to upgrade to a 30mm carb and intake?

I GPS'd my sustained speed today(very windy), and I managed to get to 53mph, even though the speedo said 68mph (pffft!!). And yes, I also have a full indshield too, so I'm certain that was an issue as well. I DO see the logic in getting the case machined if I plan on splitting the case for the crank. As for the weight reduction, I don't plan on removing any plastics/parts to shed a few oz. And I'm in no need of a diet, so we're good there  |

I've been thinking about giving her a few more MPH to see about running my 150 a little farther than just in my hometown. Based on what I have below in my sig, what should I do next as far as upgrades? Besides the obvious gear-change?
- Cam? (which?)
- BBK (don't really wanna machine my case however)
- stroker cam + spacer/gasket?
- larger carb?
- large valve head?

Mine only has 294 miles on it. I ride my Katana and SV650 more often with this warm weather |

Thx, all. Got the idea to get that headlight from ScooterElements custom build. He had a chrome one in stock, but I wanted the carbon fiber look one.  |
