You should have rode with us every Friday and Saturday night we would meet up and go ride about midnight till??. We played tag on them, rule was you had to tag the rider not the bike, now that was fun. They all told me I was cheating because I had the fastest bikes and they were on stock ones, I just said spend money like me. My 200ex hardly ever got unloaded from my truck I rode every day after school practicing but it was a blast and met some great people over the years riding.

Yes Meat, I can remember those days way back when. First bike was 1981 125 yamaha then a 1984 200ex that I put a stroker motor in, then bought a 1984 250 tecate (three wheeler) and sent the motor to JP Racing in Oregon after 3 months to have them debore-destroke to 200cc, they gave me the option of building my motor or for the same price I could buy Steve Mendenhall's(Kawasaki team rider at the time) Grand National race motor which I did. I flat tracked the 200 ex and the tecate.

while your inside the cover make sure that you don't have grooves on the basket, if so take the basket off and file down those grooves, this will also make clutch stick sometimes.

No both new. Changed to another sprocket and all was well. I think it must have been a defect.

I've had 2 things happen like this, 1st was a new sprocket(rear) that was supposed to be for a banshee but if you wrapped the chain around the sprocket about 3/4 around the chain would start missing the teeth(hope I am making sense). 2nd was when I left hard from a stand still the chain would pick up the slider and a slap(slider hitting swingarm) would be heard.

sent you a P.M.

I did not reconize your Myspace pic or any of your friends, but you may have seen me and not known it.lol

It is the gap between the end of the rings when installed in the cylinders. Too much and you have lost compression and too little and you break rings and/or hang a ring when the cylinder heats up.

Yes, from Beaumont.

I have been at our shop for 23 years now,piped with pvc and probably haven't had 5 problems in that time and was usually a broken fitting or glue failure at the fitting. Also running a 2 stage at about 125# with moisture traps w/drains. It is a diesel repair shop all piping run above the top of 12' roll up doors (6 bays).

1" PVC pipe, I know 3 shops that are plumbed this way. I believe it's rated at 150 psi. I know our shop at work is set at 125 and no problems and easy to fix.

from TEXAS and my bike runs on alcohol = txalky

Craig, you still hanging around? We need to get another Dune trip up one day, been a couple of years(Thanksgiving weekend) since we did that.

I will have to check on Monday, bike is at work. The ones I bought were NOT in thier catalog listing though. They were made for 1 company and I cannot remember who it was, took about half a day to find them.
