Getting the carb back in???
Does anyone have any tips on reinstalling the carb? I am having trouble getting it back in. The boots are giving me trouble.
Engine side first? Air cleaner side first? A little lube on the boots? Swear more??? I also took the carb off a month ago and didn't take photos... Why you ask? Because it was going to be the same day, I would put it back in and well, life happens and it has been a long time... Does the choke cable run under the rear stay or over it? Thanks, Zooker |

I was shopping TBR7's for years. Got to where I wanted to buy and they seem to have faded out. Looked at Hawks a bit and then saw this thing which was an actual 250cc. Wondered about it and Googled up THIS thread. Read all of it. Just ordered an X from Powersportmax and ten minutes later a jet kit on eBay. The people who have posted in this thread are who I have to thank. Or blame. We'll see. I'm feeling pretty good about it though.

almost 70 degrees today
The bike is a mess. Winter riding is always wet and mucky!
So time for Spring cleaning! It is 70 degrees today. Time to clean up the beast: I discovered a "thorn" in the Tusk. Holding air. I did also mount massive 4mm Michelin Airstops, because I HATE flats- Yay!

I got my spare motor in-hopefully I hear back from Joe Henner soon.
If not, there’s a dealer in OKC for trailmaster and they have a TM36-300 (279cc) for around $3k. May just see if they can get a 38 and make it street legal lol.

Appreciate it. The idea is to replace the VERY old XL175 that has been my trail bike for a few years. It's getting old and cranky these days and my kicking leg isn't what it used to be. It was about 14 hp at best when new, I'm good with modest power. Big bonus for me is the old Honda was never street legal (for me). Plan is if/when the Templar proves a good replacement to get the old XL running well one last time and let someone else have it. I've got too many other old and cranky vehicles, my rule is I can't buy one unless I let one go.

If you order one and it comes by R&L Carriers the seller should give you a tracking number at some point. If you go to R&L's site it looks like you have to sign up with them to track it. Not so, go to this page and simply enter your tracking number. Posting this because it is not at all obvious that you can do this.

Can anyone tell me why cars in the opposite-on-coming lanes flash their headlights at me during the day? Is this just them acknowledging that they see me? Are these other motorcyclists saying high from their cars? I haven’t ridden a bike daily for almost 15 years, and this wasn’t a thing when I used to ride.

I thought too, but multiple times it’s been from cars just entering the roadway from another road. It’s happened enough time in various situations that it’s making me paranoid lol

Are you driving with the headlights off? Might be signaling to turn your headlights on. Or You have you bright lights on and they are flashing you because it's blinding them. I never had anyone flash there lights at me.

The Templar X headlight, especially when in hi-beam mode is pointing ridiculously high, verified last time i rode when pointed at my garage door. I have been riding with hi-beams during the day for several years now for visibility and if others flash at you during the day, screw them, safety first, and you WANT that car waiting to turn left across your lane as your approach to see you and think twice
