[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 918434, member: 56976"] I'm not rich and don't claim to know even half as much as he does, but here goes ... A thinner base gasket will lower the cylinder in relation to the crank and pistion. This has two main effects. The first is increased compression, which typically gives more low end power and may induce pre-ignition and/or less over rev/high rpm power. IMHO, a thinner base gasket will not increas compression enough to cause pre-ignition or much difference in top end power. The second main effect of a thinner base gasket is lower ports. Lower ports should give a bit more low end power at the expense of top end power. these are just my observations and I am not expert. I am thinking of installing a thinn base gasket on my wife's KX100 and look forward to reading Rich's comments. cheers, josh [/QUOTE]
