Damn man, rough times dude. Things will get better, just remember when you are at the bottom you can only go up!
That bike looks just like my jog, I wonder if the frames are the same size? The wheels look the same as a jog also. Hopefully you will find a place to hang your helmet with plenty of room to work. I didnt get to hear it run yet but I will watch vid soon. Stay up man!

Thanks Nelson! I'm looking for a place but rentals with garages where I live are pricey. I'll find something though and I'll try and get some motivation this weekend to work on it. I got a 12" 5 spoke Vento front wheel to match the rear yesterday. I've got plenty to do without spending on it.

I got a 12" 5 spoke Vento front wheel to match the rear yesterday. I've got plenty to do without spending on it. I've got a coworker looking for the same, a rental with a garage. She has a ping pong table she refuses to part with and is trying to stay in the PBG area too, since we work off of 45th. *smh* I told her to ditch the table and only get a garage if she planned to build a bike lol. Hey, you can always park the RX8 in my living room if you want. Why not, I'm going to have my VX50 guts in here soon too. *sobs*  Cheer up man. Things are happening for the better. Look for a roommate, maybe another gear head! Then you can rent a house with a bigger garage and no one to bitch about how many scooters you have parked in it! See! Bright side to everything.  |

I put a deposit down on a place yesterday. It's got a great garage that will give me the room to have a lift or table for scoots. There is a door to the garage in the master bedroom so easy access in the middle of the night! Lol! Moving 12/1 and then I'll be able to get back to the build. Now I have to pack this garage. Ugh!

Well I got some tools out and turned wrenches for the first time in a few weeks. I put the hoca clutch,bell, adjustable TD in with red clutch springs and a yellow contra. The damn thing hits like a mule kick! Still need to do some carb tuning this weekend but it's a beast already. I can't run it up and down my neighborhood streets too much for fear of pissing of people. I may need to put it in the back of the truck and take a ride this weekend out into the country.

How about some photos when you get a chance? Some video/audio would be nice too!

Sounds like a sweet setup! Is that Hoca clutch bell the one with the grip machined into the inside? I think 2strokd may have mentioned that?? |

I'll try and get some video this weekend and my desktop set up to post. Yes Niz, that's the clutch.

I did a little carb tuning yesterday. I went down to an 86 and up to 95 with the stock airbox. I'm getting a stutter after the launch. It hits hard but then stutters. I've moved the timing ahead and back but no change. May need to check the ignition ground. Idk. Pipe is spitting some oil. The problem with starting something and then stopping is I forget crap. Did I add oil for break in. Hmm. Maybe some fresh fuel.

Maybe a needle or needle position change?
