  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. No both new. Changed to another sprocket and all was well. I think it must have been a defect.
  5. 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.
  6. I did not reconize your Myspace pic or any of your friends, but you may have seen me and not known it.lol
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. from TEXAS and my bike runs on alcohol = txalky
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I ordered a set of Douglas rims(plain) and then bought scooter tires for them.
  14. I'm in, I'm in. Christmas in October> :baseball_santa:
  15. I would say somewhere in the 340 range depending on port timing and all other factors.
  16. Here is another, Don't know about o-ring chain but you could leave the o-rings off the 1/2 link.tryalsshop
  17. You will either have to find a 1/2 link or change gearing to addd or subtract links. It sucks on a stock carrier I've been fighting it for years. I will try to find a place or picture of a 1/2 link. I found 1 that has a 2 1/2 link setup but would require cutting again. HYPERRACING.com go to the products and then scrool down to chains and click, you will see it there.
  18. Bigscary where are you running up there? I'm about 2 hours South of you. Asphalt?
  19. NOW THAT IS SERVICE. The washer idea was something I had to do to mine years ago, I could not find the posts on it but all you do is shim the left side between the case cover and shifter with washers to take up the slack. EASY to do.
