FAQs
Do I need to change my crankshaft?
While the stock crankshaft may function, it is highly recommended to upgrade to a reinforced crankshaft to handle the increased power output of a 70cc kit.
What fuel should I use?
It is recommended to use high-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking and pre-ignition associated with higher compression ratios.
Is this kit street legal?
This is a racing-grade performance part intended for track or closed-course use; please check your local regulations before installing on a street-legal vehicle.
Do I need to jet my carburetor?
Yes, you must increase the jet size in your carburetor to accommodate the increased airflow and displacement, or you risk severe engine damage.
How long is the break-in period?
A standard break-in period is approximately 300-500 kilometers of varied riding conditions before pushing the engine to its maximum capacity.
Troubleshooting
Engine is running too hot
Check your carburetor jetting to ensure you are not running a lean mixture, which causes excess heat.
Poor acceleration after installation
Verify that your transmission/variator weights have been adjusted to match the new power curve of the 70cc kit.
Engine fails to start
Check for proper compression and ensure the spark plug is clean and the ignition timing is correctly set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is mandatory to ensure the longevity of the Athena Racing 70cc cylinder. Before installation, clean all components to ensure no debris enters the crankcase. Always verify your ring gap measurements before fitting the piston. When breaking in the engine, avoid sustained high-RPM operation for the first few hundred kilometers to allow the rings to seat properly against the cylinder wall. Regarding compatibility, this kit (MPN 081100) is designed for specific engine blocks; always verify your engine case clearance before mounting. Routine maintenance should include using high-quality two-stroke oil, checking spark plug condition for signs of overheating, and performing periodic compression tests to ensure the unit remains in top operating condition.
