Nice, That was a good price for the 2k5 model. Find a way to bring it to rotorfest.
Oh and when you want, let me know, and I'll tell you how to make it fast. they are slow as hell off the line. Mine is quite "peppy" now

theese are the "cheap" mods. aftermarket airfilter and exhaust would cost $200, mine cost about $6 and I keep up with a guy who has the $200 in upgrades!!!
First, the factory airbox is sealed up with only a few pencil size holes underneath to suck in air. I cut the front of the box off, put in a piece of "breather filter", added a screen and I was done. Just saved $40 and I noticed an immediate difference.

here is my bike now. Going through some more mods tomorrow.
Justin, here are some tips if your bike vibrates alot. get a piece of rubber(I cut out the sidewall of an old tire) and put it between the engine and chassis. Also check the chain tension. Usually they come super tight, this makes some vibration, and robs you of HP.
Oh and if you do the air and exhaust mods you will have to richen up the mix on the carb. They sell "HP" carbs for about $50-100, they are standard walbro carbs, only diff. is they have 2 adj. needles, while ours only have 1. Working on that too. I will find a cheaper way

Why was that only 300?
