I like when I'm watching what someone's doing rather than watching someone's face explaining what they're doing. I feel like a lot of people just like to look at themselves, hear themselves talk, and bask in the glory of the attention they receive, and the thing they claim to be passionate about is really just the thing that caught on and got them the most views. When someone can showcase their craft without including their ego I feel like it shows true mastery and genuine passion for their craft.

Rad build, I did a 76 yz100 when I was a kid put an 80 wheel set on it and it looked like YZ 80 with a lot of travel and a little easier to maneuver if you're younger stepping up till 125 but I had a 175 jug that fits on the 100 yes 175 cylinder head and piston will fit on 100 engine bottom end so I was racing 175 in a 80 cc class, who are the monster back sprocket starting out in second gear with a big trench digger and I'll be spraying trail mix on everybody pulling three or four bike lengths before the first left turn, braaap braaat, well till I got caught LOL sold it to my buddy and got a maico magnum 250 brurrrt" burrrt" with life of power

@redprimo8058 2 жыл бұрын

Drilling the piston skirt is an old dessert racing trick from the 1960's(and it's only done on the intake side)It was often combined with a horn button converted to as kill switch so that you could send a burst of cool air when going wide open on the throttle for extended periods of time.

Most people totally screw up the exhaust flap and they get the back pressure wrong and the power band is totally jacked up. When that 250R is tuned right, it will dump your ass every time you shift! Also, piston height is critical, it varies in different year models. 1 year off and you can either have too much clearance, or bump the head when it warms up! This is one of my favorites over the years, Yes, I said "one" of my favorites.
