Switch to 220?

Post by jc7622 »

I have an opportunity to buy a 220 cylinder and head (I currently have an '05 200). I have an FMF rev pipe on now and plan on doing the RB head and carb, changing reeds and installing an autoclutch.

Would there be any benefit to converting my bike from a 200 to a 220?

I had both a 200 and 220 at the same time. I preferred the torquier 220 for the kind of riding I mostly did. Looks to me like you can have the best of both worlds at a reasonable cost. Go for it!

The 220 is has more torque. With the RB mods you get torque and it will have top end like the 200. I've owned both RB'd and I like the 220 better.

Sounds like a good deal. If you dont like it, you can switch back, but you will be pleased with the 220.
