Not sure how anyone could have such bad luck with something so simple. These engines (if you had the classic 2 stroke Mitsubishi), are about as reliable as a Swiss watch. The key is making sure you...

Well it was a crappy, rainy weekend again here is St. Louis, but I did manage to get the 17 tooth on there. Just enough chain and adjustment without making any mods to the chain. No way an 18 would...

I did read it. Pretty long-winded article. What I come away with is they are missing the point. I've seen a lot of unlimited street bike racing in my time, and I've see polycarbonate helmets split...

Virtually every decent helmet has both DOT and SNELL approval. The exceptions are the cheap plastic helmets that only have DOT approval. The difference with SNELL ratings is they break down to more...

It isn't going to hurt anything changing the oil too often, but it will if you are overfilling it. If you are having any sort of premature engine wear at only 1700 miles, there is some sort of defect...

If there is no smoke, it is unlikely you have any excessive wear. Are you sure about the oil level being correct?

I've owned Bell, Shoei, HJC, and Arai helmets. In my opinion Arai puts them all to shame in both quality, and funtionality.

I went up to our local bike dealer the other day, and most of the guys...

Thanks for the info and tips. Where did you get your 17 tooth countershaft sprocket? Is it the same as some other Jap bike?

With Mother's Day this past weekend, I didn't get to do much with my bike. Now it's cold and raining again, so any real ride report will be delayed.

Absolutely! That's a 15% increase in displacement. You can actually see the difference in engine size if you compare it to a 200GY. I still think a 400 would be a better size for me, but this Hensim...
