I rode down to the end of the street & back. One rear tire was flat, I didnt know that. But it hauls ass. Im about to go out in the garage right now & clean the carb. Hopefully I can go for a good ride tomorrow.

I love that blue front brake line cover. Do you know what it is because I would like to get the same for mine.

Its just wire loom, you should be able to get it at your local auto parts store.

[camoweasel]

awesome! Is it split wire loom or is it like tubing?

[spoon]

Is that an 86 motor?

[Mondexbrute]

yes it is split wire loom & yes its an 86' motor. Are there any differences between a 85' & 86' engine?

Also i am dire need of a chain adjustment tool if any one has one that they can spare please help, thanks.

[spoon]

Just the clutch cable routing and the stator as far as I know.

[atc350xer]

Are there any differences between a 85' & 86' engine?

The most obvious difference is how the clutch operates... pulls to the front on an '85 and to the left on an '86 (did I get that right?)
There are supposedly slight differences inside the motor, and if I'm right, the cases are a little different...

Well I don't know how picky you are about using "the right tool" but I've always just used a small and punch to loosen and tighten the chain. As long as you don't whack the adjuster to hard, you won't leave marks in it.

Also the front forks seem really soft! I read the manual & it said the to not air them up over 10 psi, but it also said 0 psi is normal??? How do I make them stiffer?
