Re: Seized!!

Hardest part of a dio swap is finding a dio motor. Other hard parts are making a new upper shock mount and making s kick stand work. Other than that, its straight forward.

lost power at WOT

I was cruising down the road at maxed out speed. Probably 55mph on an ever so slight down grade. All of the sudden I lost power. I stopped and it idled fine. It wouldn't go WOT for about 5 minutes when all of the sudden it came back to life. Today I rode it to work and it ran just fine. What do you ...

Re: Will only kickstart occasionally.

the battery runs the horn, headlight, turn signals, and brake light. It has nothing to do with whether it runs or not. The 12v system and the ignition system are totally seperate

Re: Is this for real?

im not sure about that. All his auctions are for non working parts and people have bought them for top dollar and gave positive feedback. I can only think its related to some sort of illegal activity

Re: spark plug keeps fouling

would my compression be low because i put it back together without honing the cylinder? I didn't think it was necassary because all i did was take it apart and put it back together, same rings and everything, but now im thinking it probably needs honed if you remove the cylinder at all. Thoughts?
