I didn't put the exhaust on. It came that way. I didn't really want to spend ~$1500 on a replacement. Probably gonna have to in a couple years when this one rots out anyway though.

A place called Cyclewerx was recommended by someone going by Syscrush on Reddit after he posted a video of his running so smoothly a toonie could be balanced on the engine.

Fair. Too bad I've got nowhere but a driveway to work.

I do.

Far as I know but I'll make sure to ask again.

Fair. He did lube the chain for me which I also wouldn't think was part of safety. Wasn't really a criticism. Just mentioning that a few people have looked over it and didn't catch anything. Doesn't really matter anyway, I'll put it back on. One of the little clips that holds them on appears to...

Ok. I'll have to reinstall the vent hoses. They aren't installed right now. The nipples are just free in the air pointed towards the front of the bike. My crankcase vent is connected to the airbox but I noticed the hose is split on one side and not connected on the other. Oops. Rosey Toes...

Good to know. Thanks!

How's the seat height of the DT200R compare to the TDR250?

It seemed to be turning over fine although I did notice sometimes if I cranked too long it was like the starter would come disconnected and freewheel? That was odd but I'm not sure if it's a sign of something bad. It seemed to be cranking over fine other than that the battery seemed a bit low...

Will do. I did find out the hard way not to try to check the oil on the sidestand. :LOL:

I'm pretty sure you do.

Thanks. I'll try that tonight.

So I tried to ride my CBX to work today. Took FOREVER to start. Probably 10 minutes. I'm surprised the battery didn't go dead actually. Once I got it started I noticed a large black spot on my driveway. Turns out it was spewing gas out the side of the engine, I believe from one of the carbs...

Depends when. Although mine isn't an off-road style.

What do you store this homebrew in? Glass? I'd expect that much acetone to melt plastic.

I was more concerned with the exposed belts.

This isn’t even for personal use. Work will cover almost anything within reason. Just can’t find a kit I like. Damn addicts stealing anything not tied down! lol Interesting to hear that this was actually a quality kit. I feel less guilty about being attached to it.

I'm not sure about that. This was a few years ago and I think I had my bike insured separately.

Oh I was. They sent me to 3 different shops. The first one was the Ford dealer in Guelph. They didn't even fix the dent and used non-paintable gravel guard. When I pointed out the dent the manager took a real close look, claimed it was a complex curve and that they did an excellent job matching...
