Got One!!!

Post by xander77 » 26 Dec 2009, 17:58

Well I was looking at KTM 200 EXC`s and KDX220`s but after finding this site and seeing the seat height on the other`s I went for a CRM!! (I am a short arse so seat is important!!!) not had chance to go out on it yet! but looking forward to it! got a MK3 1994 in good condition so hopefully all will be well and it will give me a few years of trouble free running!

Hi thanks fallenmikethebike! used to know someone we called mikethebike!!
anyhow got the two stroke and gearbox oil changed with a new plug, and the bike seems to run nice! pulls really strong, does seem to take a little while to get warm! but then it is sooo cold lately! one thing is when its ticking over at a certain revs if I mess with the tickover there is a knocking noise! I would liken it to when a 4 stroke has its carbs out of balance and you get the clutch primary drive knock! does not do it at slightly higher or lower tick over so I am hoping its nothing!!
I tried (not very hard) to get the swinging arm spindle out! but did not move! so thats a job for the future! if I keep it this summer and like it? I will be doing a rebuild next winter!
Roll on weather I can ride in!
Jack
