It may be Rob, that he is still learning? And not an older guy set in his/her ways? My oldest son Ryan has 2 friends, like d class riders. 1 guys motor was beyond rebuild, it needed a LOT of new parts. He could not ride before on the stock engine, now its a lot worse. Ryan is going to try a sprocket change to help him find the power. I am here to tell you, no 94 YZ125 ever ran like this bike, I love the YZ144EG! It has a stock carb with a lot of plastic in it, scrap pile. I have a better carb for that bike. Then there is the 04 KX250, the guy brings it over, the carb is real fat on bottom, cleared it out, nice really strong hitting bike. He wants to freshen it up, and make it better? Why, he could not ride it before. He would load it up, and not even clear it out. We just got back the big bore from Forward Motion, another work of art for sure. Just like the other guy, and they are brothers, he will load it up, and be disgruntled. BUT, when we take it for a ride, the smile factor will be maxed, I know! Now Ryan is getting the, I need to teach people to ride bug? I will keep an ear out for when these bikes go up for sale! Vintage Bob
