==Engine== | |||
A 70.9mm [[bore]] x 70.9mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 249.0 cubic centimeters. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-Speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 7.75-21 front [[tire]] and a 4.10-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Single 250mm disc 2 piston caliper in the front and a Single 200mm disc 1 piston caliper in the rear.

This is an excellent dual purpose motorcycle, aimed more towards road use but the low seat height and center of gravity make it excellent for steep off road work. | |||
Very soft suspension from the factory, but rear shock is fully adjustable for preload and rebound (although rebound adjustments unfortunately require removal of the shock). I'd suggest new fork springs and heavier fork oil would improve dive in the front under brakes. | |||
