yea....i'll be glad to help you. we can have another 507 paint day....my fairings and your wheels.
it's running ok now....sorta. I screwed up the gas mixure though. i wasn't paying attention and put 2.6oz of oil into 16oz of gas. needless to say the bike ran like shit. I'm going to remix it tonight and try to fix my carb as well; the float in the bowl is sticking and causing the overflow i mentioned to you when I FOERST got it.
I'm also checking into stage kits for the motor. gianniniracing.com (
http://gianniniracing.com/giannini_racing_004.html) will install Stage 3 upgrades for $250 and have it done within a week. Or a second option could be a Blata 2.5 motor. It's the most powerful motor that can be bolted into a Cag. at 3.5hp. But I'm having trouble finding them or how much they cost.
I never would have guessed just how big the Minimoto/pocketbike industry is.

it's going to get bigger too. those stupid little things are everywhere now. i think there's at least three people in my neighborhood with them now.

too bad our bikes suck

. me and chris both had hella issues tonight and neither of ours are running good. my exhaust loosened up and nearly fell off and then my chain popped off, but after i fixed it it's still messed up and won't ride correctly. then chris's engine keeps flooding horribly and had murdered his air filter with gas, so we're both kinda screwed for now.
i do have my aftermarket tuned pipe and air filter/velocity stack on the way though

haha....I deem this to the worst 507 investment ever!!

ha...i have been thinking that lately, although i will admit that mine was running really good after you left last night and i had a blast. must be all the stripped bolts i took out and replaced with zip ties (weight reduction is your friend

).

lol...yea probably.
all in all....i really enjoy mine. I just need to get all the bugs ironed out. hopefully that new spark plug will do that.
you and shiz run down any Wal-mart security guards last night!?

nope, we actually had it pretty clear. we're getting pretty bored with walmart though (even though we did like a 6 minute course which involved going in front and behind the store and through the houson's and olive garden lots) and wanna find some more parking decks pretty soon

yea... I can see wally world getting repetitive.
i say we hit the parking deck that's down the street. Or perhaps the one by the school (where I took pics at). i didn't see any security over there.

haha...a motorized unicycle!? lol god help you
I found those skulls at PepBoys the other day. Other than the big ones on the sides, we all have a small skull on the bottom of the windscreen.
