110 ponies!.......

Well, if your gonna buy your first, you choos the right one to buy!......That baby is fast and nibble. You should reach speeds in excess of 60mph. It's got the 787cc Rotax engine with the RAVE power valve system.

Just be sure you carr a compression gage with you and do a compression test on the engine. What looks good, may not be good inside!...it is 11 years old................:cheers:

I hate to repeat this mantra, but really, these machines are funner to RIDE than FIX and buy parts for, so here goes:


For starters, REPLACE the gray fuel lines, before you puke up your motor.

I am persuaded that they are responsible for more than a few top end rebuilds. As in ONE carb clogged up, first but not the other. So, one ran lean, and burned out a piston.

I repeat, change the fuel lines, BEFORE you run it!

(unless somebody else already did it)


The gray ones are disintegrating, into the fuel as we speak...
