    What a great result! I bet there was an sense of satisfaction when she fired up for the first time!

    we ran her in saturday.

    she went really good after changing the pilot jet, starting first or second kick, hot or cold

    i was suprised at the power delivery as its pretty smooth and i was expecting arm stretching powerband. i think it is a lot quicker than it feels.

    by the end of the ride, Craig was riding it like he stole it and had a grin from ear to ear :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    it is everything and more than he expected.

    the highlight of the day was seeing some young blokes in the traffic pointing and staring at it on the trailer…… and then rear ending the car in front :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    it was fucking gold :woohoo:

    ……now, what else can i rebuild B)

    I remember riding a later model around that era though. Heaps of power compared to my KDX200. Actually pretty wild ride in comparison. But gee did it vibrate! It may have been worse with the bash plate but the vibration was what I remember most. And the close ratio gears.
