Ok so i picked up a motovert 90 with a Jialing engine which has 86 stamped on the barrel so im going half and half and calling it an 88 haha.
After doing some research i found that Jialing is actually partnered with Honda so I'm hoping that its quality is some what closer to Honda than china.
Anyway i picked it up from a bloke about two weeks ago brand new for less than half price he rode it once up the street then stored it away for nearly a year in his garage so i was pretty stoked and im talking brand new.
The only thing wrong was an exhaust leak and a bog down low.
The exhaust leak was because it had no gasket and lose bolts and the bog, well it just wasn't tuned right so sorted that out and checked every nut and bolt, changed the oil in it then set up the suspension and took it out for its first real ride and **** i was impressed.
The little thing rips, I've ridden mates 88's before and this kills them up top but im guess thats cause its got a 26mm mikuni carb bolted on which is way to big for it, i mean dont get me wrong it runs great but is just lacking any punch down low so ive order a smaller carb and some parts from dhz which did me up a good deal.
So what ive done to it already
New red plastics
Troy Lee Designs graphics
Blue gripper seat
Blue Odi grips
Blue fuel line
Chinga race cdi
Sik 50s cam cover
Uni filter
Ngk lead & iridium plug
What ive got coming and want
19mm mikuni carb
Carbon fibre ignition and tank covers
FMF 4.1 exhuast
BBR heavy duty fork springs
Did gold chain
Vortex front sprocket
Red Baron Dress up kit
Forged kickstarter
and whatever else i end up really wanting over time.....
