Faults:

I have repaired many things on this bike, but the need for most of the repairs was neglect by the previous owner.

General Comments:

After having most of the bike in bits for repair, I've been impressed by the quality of the design and construction. Everything fits together neatly and perfectly. Disassembly and reassembly are as easy as these can be, and present no irritating unnecessary difficulties. Nothing has worn prematurely. Everything now works well.

Its engine performs well for 185ccs. It handles well. At 100 kg (dry) it's lighter than most bikes of similar capacity. The brakes do slow you down somewhat(!).

Faults:

So far, so good!!!

Only problem I have had was losing the number plate and rego sticker off the back while riding.

General Comments:

The bike isn't very quick, but it's not made to be.

Very economical, and I love the 2 stroke engine. It

handles really well and would suit a learner.

Very comfortable seating position.

Needs a taller first gear for road work though.

Faults:

Swing-arm bearings worn out, resulting in the chain constantly falling off.

Fracture of the crankcase.

Gearbox lockup.

General Comments:

The bike is seriously quick, even compared to 2006 crossers.

The handling is very good, except when the swingarm bearings wear out, and the back wheel wobbles all over the shop.

I have taken the bike to many motocross tracks, and come home with nearly as many trophys, but last sunday I was racing against KX 125's, YZ's and KTM SX's. I was 2nd when "Bang!", the gearbox died. I got it home, stripped the engine down (very easy) and found out a crank had twisted out of shape (I believe this is because I slipped a little r/c car nitro fuel into the fuel (naughty me).
