I figured this was appropriate for the vital viewers. I've texted the guy and got a response, and I really don't know what else to say.

Me: "I'm interested in your motocross bike but I have some questions. Is the hot shot cam polished for race gas? ..and are the valves adjusted regularly? Thanks"

Seller: "The cam was polishedx yes but no they dont get adjusted regularly"

Take a close look at the frame near the stem... Wow.

I texted him and told him his bike would appeal to a broader audience if he removed the swastika. Still waiting on a reply...

If only he adjusted the valves, his muffler bearing would be synchronized with the power band for maximum throttle response

Dude, you can't expect that kind of fine tuning and mechanical expertise from a guy on CL. That type of setup is reserved for guys riding out of the big rigs! You did forget that you need to adjust the clickers tho.

He said he swapped the pull rods, adjusted the clickers, and changed the ignition curve for a little extra torque.

I'm looking on cl every day right now trying to find a 125 and usually spend a extra hour on there browsing random posts just for the comedy involved.

Its a Maltese cross, do not confuse this with Nazi-ism. It means nothing of the sort. Just because a psycho uses a certain picture or symbol does not automatically make that symbol negative. Bravo Company, 1st of the 52 Aviation Regiment use the Maltese Cross as their unit symbol and they are a US Army unit.

Explain the Peace symbol to me, since what people believe is a Peace symbol has nothing to do with peace.

If you look just in front of the gas tank on the front steering portion of the frame, most definitely a swastika!

Yes it is a Swastika but the one on the shroud is not an "iron cross" it is a Maltese cross.

You shouldn't have tried to BS him, bro - he knows that bike inside out.

Geeze lighten up Francis.


BTW, you are wrong. THIS is a Maltese Cross. It's a Christian symbol and the eight points mean:

1) live in truth;
2) have faith;
3) repent of sins;
4) give proof of humility;
5) love justice;
6) be merciful;
7) be sincere and whole hearted;
8) endure persecution.



The iron cross was was originally introduced in 1813 by Kaiser Frederic Wilhelm and designed by Karl Friedrich as a campaign medal awarded for acts of heroism, bravery and leadership and later adopted by the Nazis.

Thanks for doing the research on my point, it has positive meanings not negative. It is also what "most" fireman's shields are adapted from.

Its only referred as the iron cross when mentioned with the Nazi party.

And thats one picture, there are many variations.

I think this is semantics.

By "valves" he probably meant either the power valve or the reed valve, and the "cams" was a typo for "crank".
