:confused: is there any way to power up my 125 thumpstar without spending much money?
 
to run avgas you'll need to up your jet size but i think 50% but dont quote me on that number
 
To run avgas, you need a really high compression ratio mate. Dad put it in his r1 about 3 years ago when he ran outta fuel at the airport and cos he was a pilot he just drained fuel from a plane, and the bike ran like crap for the next week....
Not to mention it costs about $1.50 a litre... We see a dumbass down at a small airfield that puts avgas in his harley and we reckon he's dumb as a brick. Plus, i dunno how you would even get your hands on avgas....
So basically, your not gonna get avgas and if you do it will make ur bike run shit.
Port your bike, pump up ya tires, lose some weight...lol
 
Welcome to mini riders brockstar.
At the top page of tech talk there is a thread on porting this should help you out heaps. You will find heaps of stuff you are looking for best of luck.
 
recently i faced your same aspect...how to make my bike faster and spend amost zero. If you want to make it go faster top end, try getting a SMALLER rear sprocket...and for more acelleration get a BIGGER back. i'd suggest no bigger or smaller than 5 or 10 teeth. if u do you'll lose to much top, or bottom end. i've gone from 38 to 54 but i ride in very short tracks and inclosed areas. so i've gained a lot of acceration.

if your racing, and want to make the bike handle...two choices...learn to ride and play with suspension.

Or you could also get a bigger carby, new air filter and a new exhaust, but i guess it all depens on how much money you have and what parts you have on your bike now. me...i'd just get new rear sprockets. my bike is a cheap asian bike, and

my rear sprocket cost me $15. fantastic...but you may need to lenthen, or shorten your chain so be careful
 
get some ( methanol or wood alcohol ,, %5 = by volume) or
ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) %10= by volume) or

( methy teriary butyl enther );MTBE %15 =by volume , this all comes out of the pit pro instruction manual from a 125cc rr 07 ,, i hope it helps :)
by volume = 1L
