And there she is. Maybe one day I'll paint the kick-start black. Or simply put a new grip rubber because it doesn't have one  |

On my day off I simply enjoyed it. Went to beautiful places, and trails only a small vehicle can access. Ended up riding more than.130kms with 1 tank of fuel. Still have a bit left since now I came to work in it. But now I hear noises like rattling spoons, but only sometimes. Speedwise, with this very hot weather, she seems to have a little less top speed. It's normal, carbs don't really like hot in excess XD When I have time, I'll put liquid gasket sealant on my fuel sender sensor, because in the past it would leak from there if over filled. So, it shall evaporate by there with the warm weather  |

Just a small ride, nothing much. The petrol im using now isn't premium, so, she doesn't like it that much and need to give a small throttle for it to fire up   |

Yesterday decided to give a clean to the engine, since she's in the garage.
Started by kick first time, but for some reason revved like hell and then sat up.
I left her running until warm, and started cleaning the grease out.
The moment the spray hit the bottom of manifold, the rpm dropped (but didn't stalled) and rose again after a bit.
Leak found, lol.
Today I tightened the manifold (wonder why it took more turns now) and decided to put gasket sealant around just in case.
It's drying.
Tomorrow I'll see, since I came from night shift. But I most probably will need to check and tune the carb... Because with the leak fixed, will be richer.
I wonder if this was the reason of the crazy heavy rev when I started her.
(she didn't do it, sometimes I'd give a little blip on the throttle if didn't started first time)

Notepad: counter clockwise idle 1 full turn to lower.
(carb cleaned the intake too)

Mixture is now 2 and half turns from sit. Going down, manages to reach higher speed more easily. Like, when the needle would be between 82-85km/h, today on the same sector almost hit 90. Maybe around 88-89 by needle. Fuel consumption still identical. Some pics from my day off       |

Yo folks, did u guys missed me? I didn't missed med, I see myself every goddamn day xDD
So, today took the scoot out of winter storage. New fuel in the tank, started her up, first rode slowly, then went to check tyre pressure...
noticed one of my valves is cracked. It's not losing air, at least yet.
And since the rear tire, while still have thread, doesn't seem in top shape (the thread is starting to be dry rotten, opening cracks too) I'm thinking to put a new rear tire.
Probably Michelin Reggae or Pirelli SL60. Or even Shinko SR426
This, because I want tires able to take me offroad.
Bridgestone ML50 look cool, but they seem more street focused.
The ones mine have? Vee-Rubber VRM-137

Ordered the Michelin. Will only put on the rear. The front tire still good.
Tuesday or Wednesday, it arrives.

This is the state of my rear tire. Funny enough these vee rubber tires are M rated. Speed rating of 81mph (130 km/h) I'm not sure but the Michelin reggae the shop ordered, is J rating, so, 62mph (100km/h) Granted I'll never reach those speeds, but I'm concerned  |

The new michelin reggae. Grips well the rear on high speed turns. Grandes, only rode 10 miles and still far from reaching the optimal grip. But waaaaaay better than the old one  |
