Jrack

Engine bolt broke and vibrated almost all the way out. I bought a 4-1/2" steel replacement and installed it today. Checked all the nuts and bolts I could see to make sure they were tight. Fixin to get some loctite and go over it again just to be safe.

Took the Vader for a good 10-12 mile run today. Cold and windy conditions but she got up to 53mph once. Other than that she stuck around 47mph. I think it's pretty dialed in with the 87 jet. After the run the idle was damn near the same as it was during warm up. So I have no complaints other than I froze my butt off...that's northern Wisconsin for ya. Oh, and it's damn loud with the exhaust so I'm gonna have to run with ear plugs..

The bike is running good and sounds great with the CRF 50 exhaust and 87 jet in the stock carb. I've yet to give it a good test run because of the crappy weather, but when I do I'll be sure to update everyone.

Put a 90 jet in the stock carb. Bogs at top end of each gear. Adjusted the idle screw and it helped the next time I took it out. Going to wait until the weekend before I try another jet or two. May go with the 85 then 87 if the 85 doesn't work. Ordered a vm22 mikuni carb. May have to gut the cat if all else fails and put the 90 back in. I'll keep you all posted. Check out (talon2gdsm) on YouTube. He has a SSR Razkull hitting 78 mph with his setup.

Tried uploading a video of my bike with the pod filter and drilled exhaust but it kept failing. I'll figure it out eventually.

The Vader 125 is definitely a fun little bike for sure!
