so today i got 120 for my go kart, sad, but i took it, so i had 240 at hand, and the guy with all the extra parts and such, just sold it, WTF he said hed hold it for me, but screw it, so my grandma asked how much the next one up was, it was 400 dollars, ****, but she gave me the money and i went to pick it up, talked with the guy for a while, turns out i was the first one to start the engine, only thing is it had been rolled in, never , ever rode, i was the first to start and ride it at his house, it was great, so i got her home and i love the bike, its great, i just rode it around stock for a while and got a feel for it, this one has he running tail and head light and all, stock gear reduction system, so before i had to go in to night, i backed out that throttle screw, everything was great, but i was low on gas, i got a little so im going to drive it to the gas statino tomarrow, because i love to show off up there, i felt so good riding that bike, it was confertable to, ill get better pics and a riding vid of it tommarow

dude. almost matching rides. now you need a torque converter!

the things that broke first in order on my bike that you should watch out for (but mine was a beaten up '06 when i got it this spring)

  • clutch cover completely fell apart
  • replaced burnt out clutch
  • replaced the brakes with honda's
  • fake gas tank mounts broke
  • fuel meter on the tank started leaking
  • choke tab wore out
  • chain tensioners stripped out
  • pull start broke (clutch mechanism)
  • broke the chain
  • rear tire stopped holding air
  • bent up the fenders (my fault for driving crazy)

other than that (all i can think of now) its a good bike.

ride it ROUGH, fix it up and maintain it very good, and it will be a really fun bike. change the oil frequently too. i change mine every other week usually if not more.

haha okay. i go pretty crazy. fell twice today. add to that list the foot pegs. broke them a couple weeks ago from going too fast through a narrow gate. one side of the handle bars contacted the gate, and boom. clipped the wheel left, bike makes a 90 degree turn at top speed.

it tries to make a 90 degree turn at top speed on purpose? insane, and i dont, i ride nice, but i like to go fast, i dont plan on ever crashing this bike, and watch, 20 years from now itll look like this, (maybe torque converter) and look just like today same motor and all,

go on google maps and look for big open fields or woods. there must be some trails of some kind somewhere. if cops cant see you they cant find you. and i doubt theyre going to chase you through the woods.

well, ive been riding around, the brakes aere squeaking like a *****, they stop, but they squeak real loud, and i promised my grandma i wouldnt take it apart... my chain was hitting the gaurd, so i pulled the two gaurds off, loosened the wheel and such, and either the tier is on an angle, or somthing because its getting harder to push by myself, and its getting hotter than it was before i did this,, what did i **** up now?

get some chain lube, adjust the chain to the right tension,

the clutch shouldnt have burnt out so fast. did you oil it? the clutch on mine lasted 5 years. but a TC will be awesome.

do the brakes still stop well? i really suggest honda brakes if they arent stopping the bike.
