Had a few problems, one before I even started it up. Was backing it off the back of my truck on the ramps and the front brake lever just pulled into the bars.
Looked down and saw brake fluid coming out of the line down near the caliper.
So my buddies and I hit some trails and I was really missing my front brakes. So after about 1 1/2 hours we decided to head back to the trucks. Well we took off and my 350X left me sit about a mile away. It would idle fine but touch the throttle and it died. After I pushed for 1/2 hour my buddies finally showed up lookin for me and I got one to tow me back. So I checked it out and finally figured out the problem. The needle seat fell out and was sitting in the main jet. So I ripped the carb off and apart and the c-clip was still inside and I put the needle back in and squeezed the c-clip tight and put it back together. Took over an hour, freakin pain in the butt. I never heard of this happening......
Then my buddies showed me this short trail we could jump out of and I took my camera and took some video. I just compiled it in movie maker and posted it on youtube. Yeah I jumped my 350X but my buddy on his yfz450 aired it out.

I just recieved my new stainless brake lines today and will put the front on atleast before sunday. We are going riding again, but my buddies are takin their bikes this time.
