I am having a small issue , the new Keihin float drain keeps * fuel and the screw is all the way tightened... Might just cap it off

OMG finally!


wanna sell the oko 26 for cheap :smile:
No sh1t. What a headache. Might just keep the oko, think it just needs a float rebuild... Keep it as a backup. The Keihin is so much better when it comes to small details.

I was having the same problem where I would hit a bump.and my engine would die unless I was giving it a good amount of throttle ...the muffler I have on I bought from a guy off craigslist and it is for a spree and I don't know if its the same year but anyways it is only connected at the end of it and not fastened to the frame and my spree ran great then I fastened it the the frame like it is supposed to be and that's when my bike started dieing after messing with it forever I took the bolts out so it is only connected at the mouth and the issue stopped ...hope this helps

I think that the muffler frame bolts where pulling the muffler from the mouth and it wasnt air tight
