    Oldest grandson races enduro on crf110. This weekend I picked up an 06 pw80 for little brother. It runs decent & appears all original, including drips from carb & oil res. Thanks for the schooling. I've got 3 weeks to get her squared away before his bday.

      If you end up replacing the carb, don’t be tempted to buy the Chinese knockoff. A genuine Mikuni is under a hundred bucks and will run a whole lot better. The decals came from a company called Kalair and they sell them on Amazon. Lots of different designs and a quick turn around time. Have fun and good luck with the project!

    Sweet build man! Makes me want a kx65 shock now for my nephews bike.

    I found a sweet shock for mine that is an alternative to the KX shocks with adjustable length! For the Honda Navi; an NCY shock purchased from Steady Garage. It adjusts from 300-342mm. It was like $160 and I had to drill out the mounting hole just a little to get the OEM pin to fit.
    Also, great video! To the point and informative. Much appreciated

    I still have my original PW80 I got as a bday present. Is there a specific year KX60 shock that needs to be used for this mod? I have been wanting to do it for years.

    What size sprockets did you end up using? I'm looking at one on Marketplace and I like your ideas. I'm about 165 pounds so I think your suspension tuning would be in the ballpark for me. By opening up the airbox....I assume you mean removing that rubber plug up top that had 3 tiny holes in it?

    • @misterts7635
      @misterts7635  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I went with 14/36 gears and it woke it up a lot. I actually bought an even bigger rear sprocket but haven’t installed it yet. I’ll have to get a longer chain. Opening up the airbox and exhaust allows the bike to rev quite a bit higher, so you’re not losing much top speed, if any, by gearing it down. For the airbox, I removed the snorkel and used a hole saw to make a few large holes in the top. It was either 3/4” or 1”, I don’t remember exactly. Just make sure you don’t do it on the engine side of the filter, or the air won’t be going through the filter anymore! Good luck with yours!

    Enjoyed the video. Would you know if there is another shock that would work without the reservoir? I'd like to keep my oil injection.

    • @misterts7635
      @misterts7635  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Stock KX60 and KX65 shocks don’t have a reservoir- this one is an aftermarket Works shock for a KX65. Find yourself a stock shock and it drops right in.

    • @misterts7635
      @misterts7635  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you want low end, you need a smaller gear on the trans and bigger on the rear wheel. I used 14/36 and am switching the rear to a 40t.

    How did you delete your oil injection

    • @misterts7635
      @misterts7635  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Remove the clutch cover, pull the clip that holds on the oil pump drive gear, remove the screws that hold the pump in, pull the pump out enough to slide the gear off the shaft, reinstall pump without gear. When you’re done, the pump is still in there but without the drive gear it’s just acting as a plug. You can also buy a plug kit to remove the pump completely, but I didn’t see the point.
