Well, a really over weight guy had it, and I guess he like to bring his g/f that is my size with him alot.

It seems to cut out worse around 1/4 or 3/8 throttle. I went threw all 4 carbs today and cleaned them, but I think it might not be getting enough fuel threw the pet*****(had to ghetto rig them to get it to start)
It also doesn't have an air box on it yet. I know that my 450 doesn't run for crap without an airbox lid, so I think I'm going to try to find a box for it, and work from there.

nick nice fish....
Andrew I dont konw jack about motorcylce transmissions... The cutting out problem sounds like it could be a fuel problem... Hard to say, i would need more info.
x2 on stripping second out by not using the clutch and just banging through the gears.

i havent opened up a motorcycle tranny myself, but i have a buddy with a cycle shop and i watched all the time. it wasnt too bad, in fact pretty simple. most of them have cases that split and the shafts come out real nice and easy. go ahead i have faith in you minions guys, your not idiots mechanically. sorry for the newbie invasion carry on and forget i was here, thanks Kris!
