BlueJay that is the vent for the tank, if that gets stopped up the motor will likely stop. ( at least not run right.)  have a great day...derf

BMAN, listen to shade, he is spot on...derf

 

everyone has an opinion on this subject...mine is get some air shocks, raise the pressure for load and let air out for normal riding... no more problems, have a great day...derf

 

Read your sparkplug, it'll tell you what to do.....derf

The clutch will not operate property, and will cause you trouble. good luck

Welcome to ATVHonda

 

 

Snow, throw that thing in the trash..it will only fit the bike it was made for (reason for it's shape)..There is a lots of books written on 2-stroke exhaust systems. most of the 2-strokers talk about the power band, that's where they get the most of their power/ per RPM. When the motor reaches this rpm it feels like a turbo comes on. The design of the pipe determines when this power comes on..This is as simple as I can explain it... Read lots of books. Have a good day...Derf

Wormy, its my experience you will not make any friends with the led bulbs. Whether you meeting or following someone. I do have old eyes and have hard time seeing in good light,..lol.. just a word to the wise ( just have one set regular and the other led, best of both worlds and have many friends)...derf

welcome Scott, there are several retired people here, living our second childhood...lol

We're just down the ridge line from you. Our sentiments exactly. We enjoy every minute of it. Thanks, take care...derf

Shade ,I usually get between 70 and 90 miles on mine.. it all depends on how hard I ride it. the terrain and the altitude plays a part too..

Thank you for your time, it was very informative. Sometime persistence pays off... have a great day

patience is virtue, you are on the right trail.. lol derf good luck
