Question More Power out of a 250cc Apollo Engine!

Hi again!

I posted the tread about the Mikuni but I decided to start a new thread beacuse it felt so "of topic"!

Anyway, As you may know I got a 250cc apollo engine on my Orion 250cc water cooled bike! But what can I do to increase the power in the 250cc engine? I want more power, simple as that! It only got 16 horsepower and that is maybe too little according to my opinion!
Any Idés?..

All I would say is go with the next size piston up (preferably high comp piston) and a rebore then you want a race cam

Re: More Power out of a 250cc Apollo Engine!

Were can I find a new CDI box to it?

I know it doesn't increase the power but it increases the rev limit very much! And that may do that the bike go faster!

Am I right?

Re: More Power out of a 250cc Apollo Engine!

these bikes take the p i s s anyway. 250cc pushing out just 16 bhp. the bloody 140's can push 18. i doubt the gearbox and clutch in those 250's is up to much though. however a gas flow(port pollish and enlarge) would be very useful as i did one on a honda cr250 and worked like a bloody dream!
