So, I am about to embark on my first MB project. I thought I would start this thread to show what I am working on, and so that as problems arise I have somewhere to ask questions where people can see what I have done so far.
I have a Diamondback mountain bike. I bought road tires for it but still have the mountain bike tires which I could switch back too if needed.
I am ordering (hopefully today) the 80cc(66cc) kit from bikeberry.com, I figured if I jack something up I would rather do it on a cheaper kit. Figure I'll upgrade once I know what I am doing more.
I plan to just put the kit on my bike, and once I have an idea of how that performs, the first upgrades I might consider would be a new carb (Maybe a Dellorto?), and an upgraded tuned pipe. I like the Shifter Kit from SBP as well, but want to make sure my bike is working fine first before I put the $200 down on that.
I live at 5200ft so I am not entirely sure how that will affect my engine or what problems might arise, guess I'll see once I get my engine running.
I'll post updates once I get my kit and get started on my build. In the meantime, any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks!
