i have a set of 70's (mis judged the year one the newly gotten one. it seems) and ive been bored.lol i have decided to make a full offroad bike out of one by offroad i mean swamp enduro ect. not little dirt road a honda civic frequents.
well i have so far lightened the load on the newer bike taking signals, handles, mirrors ect. off. it was real beat up to begin with. i have fixed up the stock motor and am working on rejetting and putting in a k&n i already have. the stock trailwings are goign to be replaced (thanks for the idea racer x:ty:) with snow hogs tires for mud and all around traction.the stock suspension is going bye bye for now though ...racer x might kill me but i took my worn rear shox and am looking into drilling a hole like the fronts in the damper and threading it to refill with thicker oil for now...prob wont work but it might be worth it i doubt it but they are getting tossed anyways..but im working on a slightly taller shock setup with adjustable suspension.the motor is getting a mild upgrade with a few add ons for a little oomph and im getting a throttle twist grip as i cannot afford it to stick on hard sections. so far this bike rips just almost bone stock. just as a ref. to try out seafoam i used a small bit in my oil for a short term....it works well i changed the oil after 30 miles i took so much crud out of the engine! but anywho the bike looks very promising and im taking it basically stock to a hard enduro cross trail (practice run, basically time trials) sat ill post with findings but this is gonna be fun!:red70::D

How much seafoam did u use in the oil? I thought it was just used as an engine cleaner through carbureation and as a fuel stabilizer.

Zack..I don't know if you have seen it, but type in seafoam on utube...you will get a full demo on it from a guy who put it in his bike.

the seafoam? mostly was experimental it was right before an oil change i put roughly about 1/10th a quart prob not the right amount but as it has been said it thins the oil i just tried it for about a 10 minute run not even then drained it all i was just to get as much crud as i could out without having to opent the case up. me being the oh so brilliant minded braindead person realized the rar shox didnt have oil in about 12minutes after i realized there is no reservior for oil in em.lol the bike has 30wt shock oil 10w-40 semi synthetic bike oil for wet clutches, andsometuning work thanks to a few tips from racers on tuning 4 strokes to race spec.played around with a few doughnuts and small rides down a local trail today now im just going to need the new shox +tires to get to really enjoy the ride.
