Do some research, my buddy has an 82 Honda XL250, and he found he can just bolt on a 1985 CR125 rear shock and suspension. It's motocross suspension but it sure picked it up a bit. Take a look at the YZ's in the same years.

Crappy group Cell photo It's an angry garage. Scorpa needs its rear brake off (need to buy a set of giant allens), WR has a radiator out for repair, Ossa needs new front brake and clutch cables, TTR needs a new exhaust and the Scrambler there is waiting on its badges before I clearcoat.

Z3n posted:It's easy to "outgrow" a stock geared street 600 because they're geared so loving tall. Combine that with most people being utterly unwilling to really rev out an engine, and they don't understand that in order to get a 600 really working on the street, you're looking at at least -1/+2 gearing, probably more. A 600 that's geared like that is closer to the experience you'll get at the throttle with a literbike, but with 600s there's a lot of waiting for poo poo to happen when you're below 40mph. You sound like me in the Buell thread.

 Aaaand new biek. 2011 GasGas XC200 Six Days The race sag is woefully off at 89mm. Unfortunately the laden sag is right on, so the spring is just too stiff for me. I'll banded it with loosening the preload adjustment for now, but I need to respring. Doing the heat cycles right now! Get to start breaking it in tomorrow.

Bought new biek. YZ250x. Motosport dot com hosed up my side panel numbers tho. Put first ride on it last weekend. It's gr8 Immediately put on GYTR flywheel weight Galfer 270mm front rotor kit Enduro Engineering hand guards BRP radiator guards Motion Pro micro bleeders magnetic drain plug TMDW skid plate The sag was perfect for my weight out of the factory ~*magic*~ Brought it to the track last week and started tuning in the suspension for JDayOffroad races. For the first time in my life I needed to back off on stock compression to be happy. This thing shows its moto X background.

The only non-standard mod I did was I added pro taper "pro" clutch perch/lever and brake levers so I can have adjustable levers. The KTM's come with adjustables, and I like to run my levers very close to the bars. They're pretty great so far. I also bought a Tubliss system instead of heavy duty tubes. Jury is out on that, but I think it will be good. I'll probably also put a Rekluse in it over winter cuz I'm going to contest the championship enduro series again this year, and they're bringing back timekeeping for every event, and I'm lazy. The biggest unknown to me is I need lights for the enduro series. I might just buy some LED version, and get a little 12V regulated DC battery from sparkfun that I only use when in tech inspection at the race. Seems much easier than putting in a nicer lighting coil.

TotalLossBrain posted:I'm wondering if that's a piston port cylinder design or if it's case induction instead because of the height, but the presence of reeds answers it. Thanks, I wasn't considering the old PP's don't have those. I've never seen a piston port bike with reeds before. Yes it goes into the case.

Over the winter I rebuilt much of this bike, from suspension to the wiring harness to brakes, to the cooling system. When I went to put it back together the motor siezed without even starting. Ultimately found bolts that held the clutch basket to the primary had worked backwards and gummed up some gears. Yikes. Fixed all that and just started it for the first time this year. Still have a bunch of body work to do though. The tank and the ZX6R front end don't play nice. https://imgur.com/aQxqtQT EDIT: Also probably need to futz with jetting lolol
