Default 250 head mod?

Ive been lookin at this deal called the head mod(head machining) and i was wondering what exactly is it?? It seems to be a rather cheap mod... What are the benefits and the downsides to having it

yes i have it and u need higher octane becasue this raises teh compression. if u only go .020 over u only need 92 or 93 octane fuel. it will give u a quicker reving motor and more tourqe.

Gas stations sell 87, 89, and 93 octane and if you want a higher octane you can usually find a dealer in your town that sells much higher octanes.

theres really only one way on a two stroke that im aware of. and thats the head mod or normally called milling the head. but on fourstrokes u can geta higher compression piston. milling the head is cheap and worth it so go ahead and do it. hey tw do u ahve a clutch kit in that thing yet? if not i would recamend u get at least a primary spring adnd a secondary spring. it will help alot.
