Say no to header wrap!Remember a good expansion chamber pulls some of the fresh mixture into the headpipe,then pushes it back in before the exhaust port closes..That mixture should not be hot,as it will cause detonation..

If you wrap a two stroke pipe they are quite thin walled. The wrap holds water. Water and heat equals rust. 😕

Ok.so its time to blow the dust off this old thread. I just ordered the yasuni R07 pipe and the 21mm stage 6 carb. I know its been a while but I've been kinda busy. Got a pack of main jets too. I will update again when something else happens........... like it runs or not. Anyway I've been wanting to ride so bad that I been looking at the new Honda rebel 500. Anyone seen it yet? Thoughts?

Thailand has the Rebel 300. Same frame, smaller engine. Had a chance to ride one at the bike show a year ago. Quite impressive handling with low CG. Not quite my style, but it seems a good reliable bike. The 300 is gaining popularity here. My newest neighbor commutes on his...the 300 get super fuel economy. He claims 3.2 Liters per 100km, which converts to over 70 mpg. Good thing...super small fuel tank!

I think Alex from 2strokestuffing says you CAN use wrap. He says you need to leave the first part (1-2 inches) of the pipe from the flange back clear. The fresh mixture escaping the exhaust port only travels about 1-2 inches into the pipe beofre being pushed back by the wave. That fresh mixture in the pipe must stay a cool as possible.
