Hey guys just wanted to let anyone that needs some tips have some.
* Don't use rag joint sprockets they always become untrue and are dangerous use the cnc adapters or hard mounted sprockets instead.
* Don't skimp on China chain there is a company called Regina chain that makes #415 and it's made in Italy not China there is probably other companies too.
* Stock 2 stroke carbs usually have a vacuum leak where they mount on the manifold some teflon/electrical tape could work but a carb upgrade would probably be better.
* Always loctite sprocket adapter bolts or else they will back out that happened to me on my first bike.
* Remember to oil/grease chains and sprockets. On my bike I use 80w90 gear oil to lubricate the chain. It will make the chain last longer but over time you might want to clean your chain and re lube it.
* Use better quality bolts and nuts if you can for chain tensioners and engine mounts. -Chinese hardware isn't nearly as strong as what you could use.
* Ride on the correct side of the road- self explanatory if a cop sees you going down the road the wrong way there's a good chance you will get stopped. But for some reason (not naming) some motorized bike riders on YouTube ride the wrong way down the road.
* Let cars pass. Cars will usually be going faster than you on your bike don't sit in the middle of the road if there's a car behind you- move to the side of the road like bicycles do.
Have fun and be safe
