I hate Easy-outs too! But I use them when needed.
I have snapped them before when I wasn't careful. I must be very lucky to not have them snap every time :twisted: Thanks, Tigertamer

I've worked on several Subaru engines and the exhaust studs break on a regular basis. At least with a Chinabike replacement heads are relatively cheap. Under $100 say.

That's according to the Hayes shop manual for the Honda CG125 which is the pushrod engine that the Chinese cloned into the 125/150/200/250. So you may want to ramp up the torque a bit according to your bike's displacement.

It seems to be that 35 or 40 ft/lbs would be closer to the truth, depending on the size of the bolt and pitch of the threads. Just sayin'.... |

I know a guy that wants to check out the insides of my 163 FML.
I think its the push rod clone.Anywho....He says a higher compression piston, intake port job,more aggressive cam,and carb should yield 25+hp 8) He says if he could get measurements he could get a piston. Has any body tried this????If not maybe someone could measure :P |

Easier/cheaper just to buy a used XR 250 since they have that much hp stock and a much better suspension to boot. |

I have found in the past that the easiest way to remove a snapped bolt or stud is to weld an nut to the end if there is enough material left to do so.
