    Hello All,

    This is a first bike ever for me. I picked it up at a very good price all I needed to buy was a solenoid for it to run.

    Started up beautifully, idles nice after about 5 - 7 minutes warm up.

    I found this board while shopping for a bike and now that I have one I have a great place to get many answers from.

    oh I should mention lots of questions from me, <--- never worked on a bike before :?

    You might also want to think about getting some shocks to soften up that hardtail. Gets a little hard on the back after awhile, especially without a sprung seat. Bike looks good though!
