athena kit

does any one rate these i know everyone seems to bum lick malossi and polini but its like anything the expensive stuff is always like so anyone rate these was thinking of the athena i was thinking of the hpr kit with the flat top piston any input from anyone wud be good reasons for either yes or no please

 

I've had mine in for a day, love it! more power, especially low down! a bit more top speed too! I have nothing to compare it with although it does feel a lot like a 125 on pull away now - it's instant with a bit of grunt

 

You've not said what you're wanting it for, pure power or every day cruiser? I was looking at the Athena kits and didn't find a huge deal about them. For the sport setups I'd stick with the big names because for the price you know what you're getting. What sort of price difference is there between the kits your comparing?

Mind a friend had a DR 70 kit put on his Aerox and a few people said it wouldn't be much cop, few thousand miles later it's still pulling well.

 

Power lol thanks for the link terro i see they are discussing the hp i was more interested in the one up from that the hpr alloy with the flat top piston best price i have at retail is 160 delivered, but i can get trade from a few bike shops locally so will be finding out what they can do

hpr

 

The only problem i had with mine was with the head, where the antifreeze plugs in. The brass thing with the spring/screws was a little bit too small for the hole, so i needed to put a tiny washer there to secure it. not a big deal but a little head up!

Apart from that i really like the Athena HP kit so far - good all round power! good luck with the HPR
