Back on topic.
Only extras i have on my bike are Zeta handguards & JRF Tourque controller. "Adjustable power valve".
I aways run good tyres as well with heavy duty tubes.
Only thing i am going to add is Devol radiator guards. When i can figure out which ones fit. ::)




TMKiwi check out the bullet proof designs radiator guards their what I use on my KTM & they have alot of airflow and great protection.

Haha, for that price all you can get is a CR500AF

Oh, that reminds me, the 120 is for sale.  All you need to do is sacrifice your first-born and make two easy payments of one million dollars (as well as one very difficult payment of exactly $999,999.99).  I've already had to turn away one idiot trying to get it off me for a measly two million, so don't bother low-balling.  I'm cereal.

:P


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

There was a 1969 Kawasaki 120 TR for sale in Denver craigs list a month ago, I don't know what the price was though.  Said it needed a set of points.

I think about 90% of all the bikes that came with points, could use a set of points.  I don't think I can name a single part on a dirt bike that has given more trouble and woe to this world than points.

I know my 120 has points, and along with the clutch (which is working decently now but its life is limited) they're the only thing that's ever given us trouble on the thing.

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

I don't know, how many Briggs and Stratton motors came with a rotary valve and expansion chamber?

02 RM 250, fmf gnarly, PC 304 silencer, ported head , jetted boyesen pro series reeds, the bike pulls hard from down low chugs up hills, has killer midrange and decent top end. need to buy a flywheel weight for it. it smashes the tire in top gear with a fresh rear tire, bike is a wheelspin machine(if you want it to be), reminds me of my rota  :D

I realized I never posted here with the "new" bike.

2003 KDX200, pretty much stock except for an aluminum throttle tube, bars, MSR D-Flector handguards, and an LED taillight bulb.

When I brought it home:
