Re: 2001 elite 50 restrictor removal

yep - its covered many times on this board

however simply put- on the S, de-restricting consists of:

-drilling out a washer in the exhaust
-opening the air box
-re-jetting the carb
-and zip-tieing the oil pump open

as for the plate over the roller weights, search for it

Re: Running hot, maybe too hot? Jetting suggestions welcome

Wow! Here is some info you guys might find funny. Since my compression has been down I have been emailing around to see who carries Ruima replacment parts.

Re: Running hot, maybe too hot? Jetting suggestions welcome

who makes a similar bore size? Or who might have a 52mm Ruima laying around? Any idea? I have a 50mm Ruima that could be bored to 52mm.
