I would suggest a safety vest of some sort if you are going to ride a lot in the city, not sure how busy traffic is over there. Good idea with exhaust. Thanks for posting pics. Your Black Wombat looks very happy. :tup:

It's running well Trailbikeryder. Had it up to 80 on the highway. A good fun bike to ride around town. I will do a video when I get some time

Been doing a bit of bush bashing on the skyteam 250
The fat tires handle the rough very well and so far no punctures going offtrack and riding over broken tree branches etc I find the first gear a little high for steep up hill trails, just have to give it some juice! Since adding the air pod filter and new flow thru muffler I now get a top speed of 100kmh, up from 85kmh...a 17% increase. But at 100 she squeals like a slaughterhouse pig and trembles like a drunk in detox! Various photos of bike here http://instagram.com/overlandertv |

http://www.gearingcommander.com/ i prefer a lower gearing on those small bikes and get up to 80 really quickly and then leave it at that. |
help from Italy
make sure you don't have any defective cables and/or contacts along the eletrical circuit, also check the side stand safety contact
another frequent problem is that related to use of choke lever which has on mid and off positions inverted in comparison to usual ones hope i made it clear, am passing tips from italian forums hoping to help (gonna get my preowned v-raptor in a couple of days) |
I can get 60 mph or 100kmh out of my 125 raptor it does not like it,, though sits at 50 mph or 80 kmh but when you hit a hill it's got very little torque I understand the 250 is not much faster but has more torque! VV

engine shift
i have found on youtube a couple of vids of an aussie guy who took off the original engine from his v-raptor and installed a Zongshen 250 cc water cooled unit................amazing piece of job he did
the vids describe all very well, with particular regard to electrical connections (pretty tricky part of its work) also included a vid of the running engine, its noise is wonderful and "full" compared to the previous OEM unit |
i just chamged my exhaust terminal with a highway hawk black Megaton (or was it Megaphon ?) model
it is not for regular street use in Italy but I got it installed just the same, lowering its huge noise with a Dbkiller originally intended for use on VW Beetle engines my "exhaust" mechanic had to work quite a bit with welding to adapt it but the result was nice in terms of looks and sound and performance will add pics soon the next thing i'd like to work on is the front suspension, suffering a lot (together with my poor ass and neck) on street holes and bumps, and the clutch (old story that all v-raptor owners know well) |
