I have only been able to ride the sporty once during the ride to bring it home. I had to order new fork springs for it since someone had chopped the others down to the nub, leaving all of about 1" max of travel. Made for an interesting ride home and took about 45 min to do so.
The springs arrived and I am waiting for time to do the work. I picked up a bike lift last week ... still in the car trunk. I will go to my sons place and do the stuff in his garage.
I also got a jet kit for the stock carb which includes:
- 2 ea of pilot and main jets
- some gaskets
- a new profile needle and needle jet
- and a pilot adjusting screw that has an extra long shaft with a knurled knob on the end so it can be adjusted with the fingers in a flash.
All of that for about $78 ... a very good deal.
After buying the kit I got an email from the seller saying he had gone to my website (such that it is right now) and asked if I wanted to be a distributer for some of his parts.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. With just the short ride home I have not had a real chance to get a feel for THIS bike and its personality yet. The engine is smoother than I had anticipated but I have not run it hard yet either. The seat is HARD (profiler type) but I have a Corbin solo on the way ($25 on ebay
).
It will be at least a week before I get to it.
