Yamaha Vmax SX 700 triple triple (carbs, cylinders, pipes) 2 stroke making ~150hp

First things to be done is a stock swing arm, new sprockets front and rear and a new chain.

My lovely ex250 will hit a wall after 95 but I have it jetted with a pod filter and it has a strong midrange. The stock clean ninja I have has seen 100 but I wasn't pushing it and didn't want to go or try to go faster.

It did just dawn on me I should probably look up the laws in the states I'm about to visit though.

Unless you are planning to visit long enough to establish residency and register your bike there, don't worry about it.

Got a 2000 XR100 missing plastics, tank, and engine but otherwise complete with a box full of stock parts and a crap ton of new-in-bag spare things. I thought the rear wheel was stock but apparently it is a kawisaki or something. The rim is the right size but the hub looks different. Since I got everything for the price of a rear wheel on ebay I can't complain much. Lots of spares for the 2003 XR and almost enough to build a dedicated track XR.

Yesterday I sold this thing for $2,200:

Then I got on craigslist for 10 minutes, made a phone call, and drove 5 hours to buy this thing for $2,200:

Then I did a stupid thing. I had to bring it back tipped over on its side and forgot to even close the petcock. The airbox was full of fuel when I stood it back up. What should I do before I try starting it again?

Make sure the fuel is out of the airbox.

Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet. I'm leaning towards trying to get it street legal and turn it into something like this:

You only really interact with a bike through your feet and hands. Proper gear makes everything so much better.

Yeah CRF250L. All I did with it yesterday was take it home in the pouring rain (the day was sunny and beautiful until I was on the road home) and hit the dirt pile a few times to see what would happen.

Today I rode it to work, tested out jumping curbs, and on my way home I plan on taking a long back dirt road. So far, so good.

Went on some back dirt roads, met some tractors and ATVs, lots of large puddles, and some pretty rough terrain on a "road" that is actually more of a town maintained ATV trail that technically allows plated vehicles. I am thinking about taking on some rougher stuff tomorrow but I will let the weather decide that, though depending on how violent the thunder showers are, it could make for good video.

They really need shorter gearing from the factory. With the limited power, shorter gears will actually allow the bike to get to top speed.

I had a pretty kool Polaris snomobile that I traded for this 2015 R6. Never thought I'd end up on a sportbike, but it turned out to be good times. Removing the fairing to change the oil was a pain though cause the manual is not very accurate.

my mach z 800 broke a chain and chaincase and I said gently caress this poo poo and traded it for an ex250 and became a better person instantly

I couldn't really play because she is at her grandmas tonight and I don't want to crash it before she sees it, but we have all day tomorrow. Now her brother fully inherits the pw50 as his bike so he should be totally stoked as well

haha she has been doing work on a clapped out pw50 for three years now, she deserved an upgrade. I have two 80/90-10 IRC MB-38 tires that feel surprisingly sticky to install for some mini supermoto action and she starts racing July 10th. At this point she has everything she needs except jersey+pants but I was told she could participate without them as long as she had the other required protection (since gearing up 6 year olds is a pain in the rear end some times). I did email Klutch Industries to see if they could get me a ~pink youth jersey since they're a track vendor and do custom lettering but nothing back yet.

I am looking forward to lining the kids up side by side and having them drag race because I think that pw50 (with my son and all of his 35lbs) would give the crf a run for its money, especially in shorter distances and with my daughter just learning how to shift.

PW50 is a 50cc two stroke shaft drive single speed cvt type thing, front and rear hand brakes, no shifting, it can be quick but runs out of steam up top

crf50 is a 50cc four stroke with a 3 speed semi auto with the brakes where they should be and chain drive.

It is a step up in size and weight and the controls layout is pretty much 'motorcycle' and due to the insane aftermarket, she shouldn't need another bike for at least 3 or 4 more years

I know at least Corbin and Sargent both make seats for the FZ. My PO was trying to sell me a pack of upgrades he took off the bike because it wasn't moving on CL, including a seat and a remote-res air-horn, but I never took a look at the seat. Give him a call: his name is Bob.

I believe with the front tread 'backwards' it would push the rain out laterally rather than funnel it directly to the rear , while the rear tire is going to be scooping the water up and sending it straight back but like i said that is just uneducated opinion
