Bike does run but it needs a lot of kick starts to get running because the battery is pretty much done, the seller added red LED strip lighting to the inside of the front plastic panels, after market exhaust, digital cluster, a red chain guard and an RK o-ring chain. I'm super excited about spring arriving so I can take it out and have some fun. Does anyone know any other ways to lower the bike or make it easier for a 5 foot 5 guy like myself to ride? I know the factory seat height is 35 inches, I'm hoping to bring it down 2-3 inches so that I will be comfortable while stopped at a light or taking a rest on the trails.  for the wealth of knowledge this forum offers. |
