February 6, 20206 yr I had one new back then,as above front brake weak by modern standards but far better than a drum brake.Linkage had bushes,not bearings which didn't last long.Good motor,steered well,air box let in too much dirt.Was soon outdated by the Beta tr34 and the modified mono shock Yamaha in my opinion
February 6, 20206 yr Author Hi, Thank you very much for all the info.....tried the bike today and seemed very good.....but just trying to agree on a price!!…:-)
February 8, 20206 yr Author Couple more questions!...whats the largest size front sprocket you can get to fit the bike...also best oil to use in the pre mix..ratio 40-1?.....best gearbox oil..?.....thanks
