Quinton has a litany of things he has found that need to be remedied to keep the bike in running condition for the long run. My bike and the one my friend has were bought on the same day and they are different in many ways. The pipe, clutch, brakes, some mounting hardware. His does have the 27" wheels, I have 26. I still love the bike, I do have to say I can get to a place where I will say, OK, THAT"S IT OUT YOU GO, and then I cool off and just enjoy the sound of that long pipe singing in the wind and I get over it.
I have to tell you a story, the other day I was feeling low and by the end of the day I was worn out. I decided to take the bike out and as I was getting it out I thought I would make some noise, so I removed the baffle from the pipe. I took the bike out in our large parking lot and was just blasting around in a lazy 8's making as much noise as I could It felt great, by the time I got done I felt like I had a new lease on life. SO let this be a lesson, the best medicine is the wind, and the noise of a 139cc flat head Whizzer with no baffle in your ears. Have fun, Dave
PS: I found another thing that is fun. I found that with the baffle out and coming down from 40mph pull the compression and open the throttle and it blasts flames and lets out a big boom, what fun. LOL I have to try this at night.
