I'm no bad ass, I've got a little mini-split in the garage.

I did work with a pretty bad hang nail, so maybe I spoke too soon... :-D

Attempt 2 at a riding video. I pulled the carb off and cleaned it today, which is a lot more involved than it probably should be. You have to take the tank off, the subframe loose, and the head stay off to get the carb out. While I had everything off, I went ahead and redid the petcock and mount as I just didn't like the one I had on it. I ended up using a 2008 KX450F upper hose, CR450F petcock (thank you cmotodad!), and CR450F upper hose to get to the carb. I made a simple bracket to tie it to the head stay mount and it was done. I think it turned out pretty well. I attached a picture of it.
Once I got everything back together, I went ahead and pushed her back out to try again. It fired up on the first kick with no excess fuel on the ground, so I adjusted the clutch and took off for a quick ride. Man, this thing is nice! It is so narrow, I wasn't lining my foot up with the shifter. I had to shift my knees in just to get in line with it, and I was almost gripping the bike by default. Anyway, I made a quick video to tide you over until I can get some dirt footage. My daughter crashed the video in her car, and my wife forgot to turn the camera the right direction but at least the bike is moving. :-D
