Although not a '77 model, a '76 Puch twin carb 250 would still be a wicked pre '78 weapon.

Post by: oldyzman on November 17, 2013, 07:05:19 pm: Its also apparent that ther are different ways of calculating comp ratio's too
Title: Re: The 77 MX bike thread.
Post by: mustanggrahame on November 17, 2013, 08:16:53 pm: Useless bit of information to give compression ratios on 2-strokes. Euros calculate it from BDC whereas Japs do it from when the exhaust port is closed by the piston.
