Stock Cylinder bore

Purchased a stock bore Athena replacement cylinder. Would've been nice to know they intentionally spin the stud bold holes 180 degrees so you have to buy their cylinder head. Next time I'll just spend the extra money and buy an OEM jug. Not worth the hassle of going aftermarket.

Top End Kit

Bought this kit for my YZ125 that I had blown up. It was super easy to install and got me back into the season without missing a race and the bike seemed to have a little more power also.

A: You are running the correct plug for that application. I would suggest contacting Athena to discuss a possible manufacturer's warranty issue.

Q: Exhuast fitment

1 year 10 months ago

With the Athena head on my 1997 Yz 125, my 2 stroke pipe does not seem to fit the exhaust port at all, as it protrudes from the cylinder instead of mounting the header in the recessed port on the stock cylinder head. Do i have the wrong exhaust as all stock exhaust should fit?

A: There is not a specific setting I could give you for jetting your bike. It would really depend on your location (altitude/temperature) and how your bike is running with the current jetting. Jetting can be very tricky, there isn't one setting that will work everywhere with every bike. I would recommend taking your bike to a local motorcycle dealership’s service department to have your bike properly jetted.
