Thanks for the information.
How's the counterbalanced EC doing?
Is the 50cc SM still going strong?

Good riding to You!

The 98 EC250SM is having some issue. That ratcheting sound you hear
in the kick starter after kicking through. I am getting that sound on
the down stroke... And some times it will slip a tooth or two on the
ratchet. And for some reason it feels like the compression has increased.
Last time I rode it, it made a loud "Pank, Pank, Pank" sound from the exhaust. Sad cause last year I replaced all the linkage bearings, had
the forks and shock rebuilt. Generally went through the whole bike and
spiffed it up. Only got a couple hundred miles in the canyons with it.

The EC50SM went back to AZ where it's owner lives. Ran out of storage
space in the garage.

Still have the Pampera. Have not worked out the title issue yet, bummer.
I do have an Idaho non-resident OHV tag on it, so I can ride it.

Cheers, Jeff
