10-22-2010, 03:01 PMSo passed my test a month or so ago and got bored of riding my scoot around while I work on my ZX600 project, so I traded my scoot for a 250CC enduro.
It's a Saga 250, one of only 2 chinabikes that actually go through the whole process to become properly road legal in Canada.
Brought it home and proceeded to strip it down to the frame and engine in my driveway and put it all back together with new bolts and locktite. Fixed a few wiring issues so the headlight would work (kinda) etc.
Put a proper plug in it and raised the needle a notch so it would run OK.
Also threw a Honda sprocket on the back with 10 less teeth and shortened the chain.
What else, oh ya threw on a set if bar end mirrors, and took all the stickers and rack off.
Couple of things need to be addressed ASAP, the Acerbis Dimension headlight plain sucks, a candle would be better. It used a 35w incandescent bulb of a type I dont recognize, I either need to do a Halogen conversion somehow or just get a better light.
The tires also suck really bad, I want to try and pick up an 18" rim and have it laced to the front, and get Some Kenda Challengers on there.
Also obviously want to get some more power out of it so a Pod filter, jets and a gutted/new exhaust will be on the agenda.
On the plus side it's really light and seems to shift ok, should be OK for a commuter/plaything for the winter. Dont really want to spend much on it.
