    They definitely have the capacity to race competitively with proper setup. I was building a Galaxy 150 to race in mini-motard. Unfortunately it got stolen before I had the build done and got it to...

    Re: New Project Bike, SMC YB150

    I got back to work on the SMC this past weekend. The WP KTM 85sx shock is a direct fit, no tweaking or odd fitment issues. I am working with a supplier to find an appropriate shock spring for my...

    Re: New Project Bike, SMC YB150

    Ended up acquiring a rear shock, front and rear brake calipers, and rear caliper mount for just under $200 shipped (all from a 2006 KTM 85sx). Still want to get my hands on a set of KTM 85 wheels,...

    Re: New Project Bike, SMC YB150

    I've got to pull it out and get some bore measurements, but I believe I'll be going to a Keihin in short order, just don't have a lot of faith in knock off carbs.

    Re: New Project Bike, SMC YB150

    The carb is a knock off of a Keihin Round slide carb common on dirt bikes.

    Re: Galaxy Parts

    Sounds like the Chinese are a lot like the Koreans in that regard. I will say that Galaxy has responded faster than Hyosung Korea ever did.

    Thanks for the advice Carl. I always appreciate...
