Alrighty in my build i had 2 problems when building it. The first you saw was the intake. i didnt have enough room in the frame for the carburator on the original intake. Thanx to a close by fellow Mber, i got a different intake and the custom fabrication in the pictures has been removed. The other issues i had was the bottom tube running from handle bar to crank was too big for the front motor mount, so me being me i beat the frame with a hammer. I DO NOT RECOMEND doing so, it can and probably will ruin some of the structural integrity of the frame. Besides there are kits out there to have a braket that will go around the larger scale frames so that you dont have to do what i did. I was really impatient when i beat the frame.I had no problems with peddle clearence, it runs good on the trails, but unless you know the trail dont go full throttle. i have a scar on my back from dumping it wot through a trail i didnt know. it does go good through trails that arent really bumpy. the bumpier the trail the harder it can be to control, and the more likely you can mess up your rims, or blow the tire. I ride through a trail thats behind my house and its not very bumpy if you take the right route.
Tires i used the stick tires and ride my bike everywhere street trails where ever i feal like going, i quickly ran through the tread, and am close to having another slick. i started out with the regular MT bike tread that came with the bike. my suggestion is find some good tires so that they last longer. Another problem i have had is the quickness in which the break pads wear out. THis can also be fixed by buying some performance break pads from your local bike shop. I would also recomend a shift kit for trails so u can better utelize the power of the engine. I havent gotten a shift kit yet but i have seen them in use, and am definately going to be getting one sooner or later. If you have any other question feal free to ask or pm me.
