Rear shock rebuilt by D’Orazio Dyanomic Engineering.
Everything is done.

New tires and tubes as well.

Went with a Bridgestone M59 front and Maxxis M6001 Rear.

Went with 15/50 gearing.

I put the Moose handguards on that were on the RM.

He loves the bike. It handles great and the power is way more predictable than the RM.

This thing has a screwy starting process when cold.

Fuel on
Choke on
Hold throttle wide open
Kick 7 times

Let off throttle
Turn choke off
Kick once from TDC

Starts right up.

When warm just kick and it starts

Ended up replacing it with a new carb now it starts right up. I think there was something wrong, maybe a hairline crack, who knows.

Needs:
New seat foam and cover
Oil drain bolt is stripped(ish) leaking so I’ll drill and tap it to M12. Just need to pick up a M12 bottoming tap.

We’ll keep riding it. It’ll get dual sported this spring. Also we’ll be updated the looks as well.

Oil leak is fixed. Drilled and tapped to larger drain plug.

Well got the DOT tires. I really wanted the Motoz Eunduro IT, but I purchase from my local dealer and he couldn't get them for a couple of weeks and he had to place a minimum order. I know I can get them online, but I like to keep my money local even if it costs me a little more. I'm weird that way.


Anyway I went with the same front that is on my KLX Metzeler MC6 front and it's hard to argue with the Kenda Trackmaster rear. $60 and My friends have had decent luck with them.
