thanks fella's...the pics are a couple years old. I have since pulled the removable top, and made it more of a roadster- kind of like the 67-72 & 73-5 k5's. I cut the half roof off, and chopped almost 6" off the windshield.... I'll see about getting some new pics posted up soon

Know who cut the transmission? I might be interested in a swap for a stocker.

I had a set, way back in the day. Think I may go that route again... They were converted to alky, and oval bored to 29.5. I cant, for the life of me, remember who did them. Anyone?

Sounds like you talked a bit with these guys. Since they were hooking up better than you, why not try a similar set-up? Its atleast a starting point. I think at 150lbs, the +10, w a bar might be much. But then again, every rider, and track is different. Could be done. Ive done it in sand. 350, 2-5 override, methanol (stocker) carbs, +6 w a bar, 22" ultralight haulers blah blah blah...but that was long ago.

ya know....the others might be right. It could be as simple as the chain jumping teeth. Have you checked the tension, and sprockets for excessive wear/broken teeth? They're much easier to check than the bearings...

I'll second that. Its simple- out of frames are just that- they hang out of the frame, easily becoming the widest part of the bike. I mean, if you think you can ride a top end pipe on trails, and dont mind ripping the pipes off/bending the shit out of them, then yeah- theyre excellent trail pipes.

Wrong forum...but thats ok, someone will probably move it. Trying to diagnose a problem like that via the internet isnt the easiest task. Since you said it your hearing a pop towards the rear of the bike, and it doesnt want to run as hard- my first stop would be the bearings in the carrier. I'll bet you'll find an issue there.

I'll take the pistons and related....

yeah, id start 230-240 w lid n snorkel on...

Your slides...have you checked them? Im almost positive theyre not correctly installed.

OKO makes a 30mm carb, that are usually cheaper than the Mikuni and Keihin's.... I think user "jasons" has or is using them. Ya might check with him, see how he likes em. IMO- with that 4mil id be looking at 33's or a lil bigger.

Maybe a FMF cage? Ive seen some just like that....long ago.

Hmm. you shouldnt have changed the airflow of the motor with just a cable. Is it lifting the slides all the way? Needles sitting all the way down in the slides? If it was me, I'd pop the carbs off and give a good cleaning.

only one way to find out.... get that dood hot and test it. how does it run?
