New to Motor Bikes In ABQ

[SchwinnHS]

I just purchased and installed the Chinese 80cc motor on an old Schwinn High Sierra that i had in the garage collecting dust. I also have a Cannondale mountain bike I ride quite a bit. I haven't even touched the Cannondale since I got the old Schwinn motorized! Been riding a couple weeks and having a blast. Would like to learn and share some experiences here!

Its an old steel fram so I used the motor mounts that came with the kit without problems. I tried to use a cut inner tube under the mount to cut back on vibration but didn't have enough room. This worked great under the tank! I settled for some duct tape. It worked nicely and the engine lines up well with the sprocket and idler. I am having some backfiring now so im headed out to get some better spark plugs. I think the stock chinese plugs aren't ideal.
