Basically, I'm looking at learning the dark art of two stroke modification, I've read Graham bells "Two stroke tuning in theory and practice" cover to cover but I still feel uneasy...
I'd just like to get to know the two-stroke principal more thoroughly

Its not easy, and it almost always goes wrong when you try it. If you want a two stroke to go faster, take it to Stan Stephens.

Home tuning of two strokes almost always doesn't work. Mind you, the same could be said of four strokes, but the consequences of getting it wrong appear to be much less severe in four stroke tuning.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I know it's not easy... And I at least want to understand it better... and I feel a person I can converse with will be able to articulate certain points of the subject better than the manual can...
It's not something I'm looking at doing for the RXS, dont worry... but something I WOULD like to do once... To SOMETHING =P
