It is a ton of fun without the worry of doing a wheelie. It takes weight placement, clutch and throttle control to get a good wheelie out of it.
I can see that. Before mine puked the zuki 250 it was built pretty stout and I only remember it pulling the front when on sand w/ paddles.. Stock swingarm is pretty long on these..
There is very little vibration.
That's reassuring, as I've committed to buying an engine from a member on another site. I know the vibration of the 250 stuff that I have would intimidate a new rider. I figured the 200 will be easier to kickstart as well.
Expansion chamber needs very little tweeking to fit on the outside of frame or you can do a little cutting and welding and put it through the frame with a little bending.
I will definitely be running it inside the frame. I paid alot for the plastics and it's the main reason I have kept the chassis around. Does the pipe have good clearance to the fuel petcock? A 95 and newer pipe is a lowboy style, but not sure if it'll clear the early cylinders PV cover... I don't have any exhaust yet, might come down to what I can get best deal on. What silencer did you use?
If you need any pics of mounts or whatever just let me know and I will get some taken. Also any questions feel free to ask.
I wouldn't mind seeing some more videos of yours riding.
