    this is my new bike as sold the bali
    picked it up today not thinking it had any tuning work done
    to we got it home in the van and i had a look why it was not running

    turns out it was not running down to a blocked jet and a blocked fuel filter
    so put a new filter in and cleaned jet out
    she started up on the button :)

    mods i have seen so far on it are
    metrakit 70cc kit maybe more going to have a good look tomorrow


    i picked up a new hebo exhaust for it today
    will have better photos tomorrow with the exhaust fitted

    Arrrhhh the Sonic!! Lovley peds!

    I brought a stolen one off a bunch of pikeys, completely stripped out for £30. Was bloody fast offroad aswell since it had no weight to it! no electronics, no pans, no clocks no nothing just an engine and 2 wheels on the frame!

    Try to take some pics in the light I cant see them very well!

    didnt get photos today as went out to put the exhaust on and look over the bike
    was looking over the bike and put the new kick start on went to nick it over but the kick start just went right round
    has neary no compression so taken the head off the bike to find that the piston has more marks over it then i have had dinners this month and the bore in the head has some very deep marks and lines all in so orderd new 70cc kit :(

    got my new number plate on now and belly pan is back on

    rides so nice as the neos engine the rear shock mount is more higher up so has lifted the rear end up by 2 to 3 inchs
