Yeah thats the one, Ive not seen him for a week so things might have changed.
Im not sure if its a 3ma3 or a 3ma5 though mate. I can confirm it with the frame number for you if you need it.

Well it's been 15 years since I last owned a two stroke so it took me a bit of time to get into the swing of things. But yeah handles very nice even with me on it. You can tell the susp has been sorted very well. But I need to lose weight to get the best out if it, its just not fair on the poor little bike!

I have noticed it's a bit woolly at 7k just before the powerband, Dont know if that's normal but at 8k it's fun! :grin:

I keep engaging neutral when changing down but that's me I think, Im just not used to it.

Two 30 mile trips in a day on it was fun!

That will be the jetting mate, you might want to wait unil summer do a plug chop and maybe go down 1or2 sizes on the mains....or alternatively dont let it drop below 8k lol

The suspension was never tweaked I only tweaked the rebound and set the sag so you have plenty to play with.

Yeah I not bothered too much, as long as it's on the rich side. I'm just going to ride this year then sort the fairings and other bits next year. I just want to ride it and enjoy it.

What size jets are in it?
What weight was the susp set up for can you remember Billy?
