Over sized Power valve cover on 200

[jrockrat]

I'd like opinions from anyone that has added an oversized power valve cover to their 200.
I have a 2012 xc200 and ride a lot of slow technical stuff and wondered if it would really be that much of an advantage and worth the cost.

Thanks

The correct needle will do more, much more. As will getting the head machined properly.
I made a extender to increase the volume of the cover. It's only there as a disrupter but it does seem a larger volume than std is better.

Is there a go to person for having the head machined now a days? I looked into it a year or two ago for my 2012 200r and the guy everyone was using reportedly stopped working on GasGas. Thinking of havin the local gasser dealership do the work with their contact.

Could someone link the power valve mod part op is talking about?

I just received this one. Got it on eBay. Nicely machines and 10 times larger than the original. Haven't tried it yet. $65 bucks. Lms racing or something like that. Came with a gasket. I'll be rhe guinea pig.

What are you installing it on? From what I've seen the 300s don't see much benefit but the 200 & 250 do.

What's the point in an oversized power valve cover?
