New ride
« on: April 04, 2011, 09:22:56 AM »
Hello
It has been awhile... I picked up a new toy and I need some help
The frame is 1992 and the engine is 1986 with Pro Circuit exhaust...It was a hill climber and the swingarm has been stretched approx 6 or so inches...
My questions
1. What needs to be done to fit the 86 end into the 92 frame?
2. Does anyone have a 92 stock swinger they want to move?
My statement... this makes the 88 K5 seem like a KX80 regarding starting... Holy cow does this thing make the leg work...
Pics to follow soon
Regards

Yep, it's an 86.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
