Congrats HB! Bike looks nice n' spiffy against those beautiful mountains and trails.

How do you like the bike so far?

Love the bike, I purposefully purchase a full face helmet to cover my shit eatin’ grin! Like one of those “where’ve you been all my life” moments every time I ride. My parents strongly discouraged ATV’s of any sort going up and my sister (a doctor) calls us “donors.” Anyway, the bike is great and part of the fun is making improvements. Have you heard of anyone trying the wire, plug, and coil kit from http://www.china-moto.biz/comersus7f/store/comersus_listItems.asp?idCategory=51
As I’m sure you know it seems to be geared toward the III’s and B’s, but would you anticipate a fitment issue with these items for the LFGY? If not, I'd like to give them a try for the rest of us.
Cheers,
HB

Hell yeah! A full face helmet is perfect for hiding shit eating grins. Also not bad for singing/hollarin' in the helmet.

Can't say I've heard of anyone on MCM trying the kit you mentioned but those kits generally yield minimal results. That said, I'd like to see the results of such a project.

If you want a little more juice, the first thing would probably be to richen up the mixture, but that's likely not a good idea given your altitude.

A new exhaust can wmay also be a good idea and have the added benefit of making you sound faster. Don't get one that's too small though cuz' you'll annoy neighbors.

Also, pull your plug and take a look at it periodically. If it's not a good quality/manufacturer plug, it may be worth the extra few bucks to replace it. You can also use this (to a minimal degree) to tell how your engine is running (rich or lean).

Anyway, there's a whole world of farkling ahead of you so easy does it!

Paz,

Rodger that! I still may pick one up as I do need to change the plug anyway. I'll post some pics, fitment, and (hopefully) performance results when it comes in.

HomeBrewed,

I'm heading out to Utah in the first two weeks of September to ride trails with another XT225 owner. If you've got time and are interested, let me know and we'll see if we can hook up. We're both pretty mild trail riders.

We'll be out in the area of the San Rafael Swell west and south of Hanksville.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been cheating on MCM with C.Riders. I certainly wish I could join up with you guys, but it doesn’t look promising. I have committed to a few projects at work during Sep-Nov. I do look forward to seeing another ride report! BTW- The area in which you’re going; Is it more desert, canyons, or slick rock? I’m really only familiar with the Moab area.
Cheers,
HB
