You have just a tad too much sag in your set up!

It's for sale in Nor Cal if you're interested. They're, I mean I'm asking $350. That's a dollar a cc or $50 per HP.

Dollar a cc...my vintage formula for years. Sadly you need to multiply by 10 today for the junk. And I mean junk.

Thats the least of your problems, my friend. It looks like one of the radiator shrouds may have a scratch in it!

I just noticed the chain routing, maybe that's the problem. On a more serious note, WTF is connected to the cylinder. Is it a diesel? Ad says it runs, um OK.

Just keep tightening the chain until the rear stops traveling up that high.

The fork offset looks to be spot on.

That's what happens when your chain just does the over over on the swingy.

I've got to admit I didn't look it over that well, I've since been able to look it over a little better and would like to point out a few more selling points. First off it's got pegs for the skatepark. You don't have to raise your foot to kick it which is excellent for somone coming off a PW50, but since it's electric start the kick is optional. And of course it's got a Schwinn seat. For an extra $50 they'll throw in 2 extra swingarms. PM me if you need the contact info.

I've got about a dozen people currently in a bidding war, it they fall through they're yours. Good eye, I'm not sure anyone else realized they're A Kit.

Way too much bling. I do like the CR Super High bar bend, and the mud guard looks to be working well.

I think a couple clicks in on the compression will solve your problem. If not, raise the forks 5-8mm and see how it feels. You will lose a little high speed stability, but it should corner like a yami 450

That's never going to pass tech inspection. Going to need side number plates.

I can't believe you guys are missing it. This is obviously one of the bike setups Carmichael was testing back in 2004 so it could be priceless.

They keep a pit full of those at every Endurocross to help the riders dial their bikes in.

That Eric, he's so thoughtful!
