Hey Tuck,
Theres no damage to our house...just 6 hour straight work of sucking up the water and dumping in a sink.
I have to take a picture of the brake lever, I keep forgetting!!!
Yeah I knew there were a ton of aftermarket parts for hondas...The xr is gonna need some new tires soon....All my dirt bikes actually have dunlops except the xr. The xr has cheng shin's or something like that haha. Gonna need some dunlops soon..My friends dad said he could put the tires on for me so thats good! I will take a pic of the brake lever asap! I dont really ride the yz that much. Once I get bigger I will.
yz = hardcore serious riding when Im bigger
kx = FUN FAST BEAST to keep mint after the jetting is resolved
xr = kind of a beater dirt bike but I still keep it nice...like if I fall all I do is touch it up
Thanks guys
Chris

Irene got me too! Not as bad as you though, hope you are doing ok! I got power back yesterday morning, was out for about 36 hours. I managed to keep pumping water out of the garage and kept the precious KXs dry! Im south of you near Ft Dix/Maguire AFB.
chris-mets:
Yeah thanks Im doing fine! back to normal! Hope your ok!

Hey guys!
its been dead in here lately...Might as well give some updates! I got a chance to snap a photo of the yz rear brake below. Where are we at now? Tuck, you wanted me to take the kx carb off and have a look to see if the main jets fit, am i right? School starts tomorrow :/...Kind of happy about seeing all my friends again and talking about dirt bikes to some of them hahaha! Bummed about the homework part though :/ less time for bikes.
Also a question not related to any of this, but im sure one of you would know. I got a mack bulldog from my friend and it has a lot of pitting so it would need to be re chromed...my dad wants to get it re chromed...how much would something like that be?
Let me know guys.
THanks
Chris

Hey Chris,
Yep, when you have time check if the round mains fit on your KX.
Unfortunately the pilot needs to be sorted out also. and with the temps cooling off soon it will need to be larger.
You are gonna have to find something to put between the frame and the brake lever to get that thing to come off.
What may have happened (besides rust) is a groove has worn in the part of the brake lever that fits through the frame, and the brake lever itself. (or at least the pin that rests in the frame)
You may have to also remove the footpeg to get more up and down movement out of the brake as you pry it off.
Of course when you have time.
I think the chrome shop will want to see the item before they give you an estimate.
What are you guys gonna do with the bulldog after it's done?
I imagine that puppy is gonna be heavy when finnished.. ( yes..pun intended)
Catch you when you have time. try to get some sleep. My daughter couldn't sleep nite before first day. :-D
