    ok so i picked this up today from some teenage girl who didint have a clue what is she selling
    she used it on a fields so probably crashed it few times :D this is where the scratches are from..
    it dont start but all the electrics work
    i think that the problem is in piston rings/bore as it kicks very easy and there was no air filter when i got it.
    so will have some updates soon :)
    btw i got for £150 and its 54 plate :)

    some pictures:

    ok so i had some work done today, found out the problem , instead of petrol tap there was some random filter that was only getting petrol into carb non stop, and the vacuum pipe was just there unconnected,
    i got the engine out but havent got any pictures of that yet.

    i like it so much :D so cleannnnnn!!! ;) btw that shock is the malossi one?? or im wrong? also the premixing thing sounds to me quite stupid :/ cant really understand how it will work properly, since the oil will all go down with the fuel... anyways the color scheme sounds nice! cant wait to see more of this monster :D

    :D i made that shock look like malossi one but its just the standard one lol, and fuel would go down with oil so there is no need for it to be mixed in a carb + if i wheelie alot oil will struggle to get to carb and if i premix it will go there with petrol straight away :), i,ve done some work will upload some pictures soon !
