XR200 gets a Namura piston

Like the cockroach, the XR200 refuses to die. This time we test out a cheap Namura piston from amazon, slap this puppy back together and send it!!

[@jimsnider3971]

That motor teardown editing is awesome!!!! Another great rebuild and hopefully that new piston will last a good while for ya!!

[@LilBJessup]

I'm slowly figuring out how to make decent edits! The XR rips now better than it ever has.

Good video, man I thought for sure my Arctic Cat was going to need rings. I got lucky and mine ended up being the valves. I adjust everything and compression went from 25 to 175.

[@LilBJessup]

Thanks dude! I was certain it was the valves untill I double checked. This bike gets used and abused because it is my loaner bike.

I have a XR 200 also and it doesn’t get spark. I’ve changed the spark plug and spark plug wire and the CDI box and I don’t know what is wrong with it. I open the CDI cover, and the thing that holds the weights is broken. I don’t know if that could be why it’s not getting spark

[@LilBJessup]

yea if that is broken, there is no indication to fire.

XR 💪💪

[@heathkill4821]

Ahhh yes the Namura piston… they are great im two strokes a lot of people call them a pissed off piston very strong JE pistons are excellent as well i love weiseco but they melt in a lot of my 4 strokes

[@LilBJessup]

I figured I would try a namura out because my XR is my budget based bike! So far so good

[@heathkill4821]

@@LilBJessup fuck ya it will be dosile like a tractor that goes anywhere but yet have some snap to it as well when you want it while also keeping everything together very well balanced pistons

@@LilBJessup man i wish we lived closer together it would be fuckin awesome we would build so much badass shit together i love puting minds together

[@michaellinkous7449]

My xr isnt getting spark i replaced the coil what do you suggest?

[@LilBJessup]

Check the pickup on the cam or flywheel

[@Rocketman0407]

Can you gain a lot by doing some performance mods on it. I consider this as my first project bike. What I am thinking is the following 220cc bore Stage 2 cam PWK or Mikuni Flatslide pumper "Racing" exhaust. 1 teeth smaller front sprocket Would a build like this do much difference from stock and how would the longevity of the engine be with these mods?

[@LilBJessup]

The xr is a pretty reliable motor, the cam and carb will help a lot, make sure the cam is machined to take a roller bearing and not just be set in the head like stock, as long as you keep the oil changed and full it is going to be reliable.

[@Rocketman0407]

@@LilBJessup thanks for the tips. Does it have a CV carb stock?

[@aksis8161]

How’s the piston holding up I’m looking at this piston to buy for my rebuild

[@LilBJessup]

It is doing well! I recommend it for sure

[@blakesutter8792]

Mine blew..use Pro x piston or stock

[@Desertrider47]

How is your piston holding up? I get mix reviewed of this piston

[@LilBJessup]

Works good, no issues

[@jessecrawford2711]

How's this bike doing, should I use this brand in my drz400

[@LilBJessup]

works great, the only difference is the piston is cast instead of forged.
