looks like a great wife bike.

Thanks, it is really quite nimble feeling with the shorter seat height and wheel base.

 

[Gravy]

Added some new Tusk handlebar guards
I got a great deal from Caleb.

 

[Gravy]

We rode up at the OHV area by the "V" yesterday. She dumped it a few times but I think she is enjoying the bike.

 

[Gravy]

Tore it down the other day for some maintenance



Wheels are now black! Think it turned out well.

 

[Gravy]

Cleaning stuff up and some notes for me.

Carb tuning notes















Main is a 100 and Idle jet is a 20.
Having problems with idle. Had to turn up the speed to keep it idling. Probably up the idle jet?

 

[rholbrook]

Yes. Larger Pilot jet should do the trick

 

[Gravy]

Yes. Larger Pilot jet should do the trick

Cool, that's what I thought.
Donnie traded me a 22.5 for the stock 20 Pilot Jet.
I'll see if I can get it together today.

Thinking of getting her a rear knobby tire has anyone had any experience with Cheng Shen C755?


I need a 4.10-18 and it's only $40 shipped

Thinking about selling this, my wife has expressed some interest in racing USRA minis women's class, but I need to step her down to a 125 to fit class rules.
Anyone interested in an awesome trail bike?
I would trade straight across for a ttr125 or crf125

 

[rholbrook]

Crf150F or CRF150RB. Harrison's will be for sell after the year Bigger Tank, Rekluse, perfect for a wife. The 150f is 30lbs heavier. Come get it and take her for a ride on it.

 

[anderson750]

^^^^This is a great option Stratton. My daughters 150rb has been a great learning bike for her and as you have seen at the races this year, she has become very comfortable on it. If I could get Jack to race with her intensity, I would have an animal on my hands.

Followed me home yesterday...



I already have new levers on it and a REAL chain guide block instead of the one sided stock one.

hopefully your wife will put more miles on hers than my wife does.. I think shes got about 10 miles in 2 years.

 

[Tonkaman]

Sweet ride! I think that's the perfect wife bike

 

[Gravy]

Not to thread hijack, but did you sell that pitbike then? I'll delete this after I ask.

About a year ago.

[Gravy]

This is what it came with. lol



Stock chain guide.



Aftermarket chain guide block
good looking piece of kit.





Basically it fully wraps the chain like a real chain guide block should so you can't throw a chain.

Bark busters are a must
