Don't forget to document the install process. I'm really curious about this upgrade! I'm sure others are as well!

Looks great so far!

Definitely....but I'll be cheating. Thanks to Spud, I'll be following this.

I've never in my life received a part for a car or motorcycle that was packaged this nicely. It's like a jewelry display or something Also, each piece is individually boxed and shrink wrapped with plastic. It's almost like I don't want to disturb it. I may take my old parts, put them in it, put it on my garage shelf with a back-lighting. Sheesh...
Chonda, did yours come like this?
Yep. Thats the exact package!

Awesome! I can't wait to hear your review of it. Especially because you have 2 bikes you can ride back to back. That makes your opinion much better informed than most.

Just checked the status on yoycart; it says "shipping to warehouse".

Thats a very good sign!

Mine (300 cc kit) is now shipped. They say 3-6 working days 'till I get the kit. DHL is their shipping company. Looks like the bottom line with all shipping and fees is about $275. If mine looks as good as the photos I'll be a very happy camper.

A thought, since the head has to come off anyway why not have it mildly ported. This engine spends most of its life at 8K rpm where porting should have the most benefit. Hummm, wonder who has a flow bench and knows how to use it?

As a reference, my separate shipping charge was paid on the 4th and I received it on the 18th.....but I do live in the middle of nowhere. As someone stated earlier, Yoycart is no Amazon but I do like how I can log in and see what stage the order is at.

Another nice touch was that pretty box was wrapped with bubble wrap and mummified in shipping take. It arrived in pretty good shape.

Mine shipped within three days of that status.

It probably seems weird that I bought a second kit.

It was because the price was low enough that I figured it was good insurance in case my motor has an issue; PLUS there is a guy that committed to buying it from me for his new GPX moto NC250 if/when they ever hit the shores of this great country.

Not weird at all. I have plenty of new stuff I bought as a spare because of the price. It's the perfect scare crow to insure that the first one you have will work forever.

DHL delivered my kit today. Not only did they beat the time they projected, the package arrived in fantastic condition. My shipper padded the box with a few layers of bubble wrap and the RTC box was unharmed. Note that RTC treats their stuff like the crown jewels. Others have posted pictures of the RTC package so I won't beat that dead horse, just understand that the parts you get look perfect!

I leave on my MABDR trip in about 10 days so I won't even try to install the kit until after that 2500 mile trip is done. Thus, I will be able to take my time with the install and do the same with break-in while I seat the rings to the cylinder. I'm still thinking about having the head ported at the same time.

Well, mine has shipped and UPS shows it leaving Shanghai.

Must have worked after all the misfires with getting Yoycart to accept my payment.

I've had mine too long and have yet to install it. Seems all of my non-toys have been breaking lately and unfortunately, they get priority.

Spring seems to be the time to catch up on a bunch of that non-toy breakage! I'm swamped too. Lawnmower is 12 years old and finally needs some love.

Anyways, my package arrived UPS today and in good shape. For all of Yoycart's difficulties, it looks like they are legit.

300cc kits locally here in China are around 1500¥
USD$235
I’d be wondering if cheaper sent outside China is posited
Anyone fitted it? ECU copes with it?
I’ve been thinking if I got another NC250 to try it
I’ve had 2 x RX3 and an RZ3
