Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 1131398, member: 16962"] I'm just really convinced it's a 2001 becuase of the plastic & graphics, not a bad thing as they are all pretty much identical anyway. I'm going off of memory but I believe you can put 520 chain & sprockets on the bike. I'd double check with Lewis Sport or Apex or Ryan Young and get a matched set anyway. Lewis Sport usually has the "tickest" stuff BTW. Yes the bikes are very affected by jetting, get it dialed in and the stock carb will be perfectly fine. If you get it jetted correctly to run on something like VP MR2 and then put a white throttle assembly on it you sould be more than happy with the snap, almost to the point of being scary. If you are lucky you might turn up a roller bearing throttle that will make smooth a whole new expectation. Rich bought my 315R and I had a custom setup I got from Ray Peters that was maybe a bit too smooth and quick. :) I would suggest mixing less fuel and leaving the unmixed fuel in the metal can. It's easy to mix up more and there will be a noticable difference in fresh vs. old. I would suggest looking in to different pegs (I believe Rich installed Pivot Pegs), a handle bar that gets you positioned correctly on the bike (critical on a trils bike!), I liked the shorty levers, and maybe a spare throttle assy (black & white tubes are nice to have on hand). Get a tire guage that reads to the nearest 0.5psi, some proper trials boots & helmet (carbon fiber is my choice, heck if mine is your sixe I might make ya' a deal) and if you ride in myddy areas maybe add a few spacers under the front fender bracket to give another 1/4" of clearance. I used some black nylon bushings in keeping with the black theme on my bike (it was a 2000 ;) ) but some stainless washers would work fine as well. Some metal bar ends will keep you from wishing you had them after you drop the bike which will happen at the worst possible time and wire the grips (2 places shoul be fine). [/QUOTE]
