bitza 430

took the forks out and restacked the compression base valve and redrilled the bleed holes, fingers crossed should sort out the sharp hits, too hot, dry and dusty to ride in a group so will do a few solo test runs.
the engine is a real peach and gets fast real quick, almost want to give the original forks a try just to see how stable it was originally when built but for now will sort through the kayabas and keep the front disc.
followed my son on his cr/wr144 watched him frantically trying to escape me through three gear changes blasting me with pea gravel as i just wound her on in third gear, want to post up the next ride on the go pro to see how it compares to other similar models.its quite sad the gg doesn't get a second look anymore only have eyes for this milk truck.

You guys only live in the snow and ice to prove it can be done

yeah snow and ice you need a different kind of husky tied to a sled.

at last we are in for some cooler weather so looks like ride time this weekend, few things since my last update i changed out the ignition coil and replaced it with a casoli moto ac unit with seperate cdi this is the race version without a rev limiter as per pezberq's recommendations for a better spark only $50 ebay chineses pitbike etc.this improves starting even though i already have a decomp valve the bike now starts first kick with choke, no throttle required, before it would start after 4 or 5 with throttle open.
made up a bash plate to stop twigs etc smashing through the cases, changed gearing to 14/52 (recommended by suprize, not recommended by my health insurance company), changed bar position (rying to get it to turn easier).had to change the exhaust after it cracked due me bending it.set my rear springs to have more pre load, sag is down to 90mm instead of 110 (will see how this feels ).
tried a 36mm lectron but went back to the 38mm pwk (the lectron is doing nicely in my gg200), bought a new clutch basket, hub,bearing (steel cage),fibers/steels and brass bushed the kick start and idler gear cogs all in all big improvement to clutch and shifting.
iam now very happy with the bike and how it runs all i have to do is learn how to ride and should be set for the cooler seasons.
