Are those shocks on the 76 a bit long, seems to be a lot of clearance between back tyre and guard. Still a very nice bike.

Hi PBMGold  They are YSS shocks from Fernando Franco when he had Husky Parts. I ran standard KLX springs. I would recommend the YSS shocks, they're a very good shock.I also have a set on my Maico.  The exhaust in the picture was a standard pipe with a homemade muffler.  Later I got my brotherinlaw to bend me up a pipe out of 1 1/2 " stainless steel.  The bigger diameter pipe meant that I had to run a pod filter which was fitted to a 34mm Mikuni carby.   I also put a fork kit from Les at Mainly Maico, in the front end, great handling bike.

Thats my old KLX, the guards and side covers are of a 1978 kx 125 purchased from nightmare racing in the USA. Hope that helps.

General Discussion / inlet manifold Hot Foot Moto

« on: August 08, 2014, 07:32:42 pm »

Would just like to share a good news story. My 175 IT needed a new inlet manifold (cracked) so did my mates, so my mate Wade purchased two from Hot Foot Moto in the states. Fitted mine to my bike, no more air leak bike ran great. But after three vinduros air leak back, thought it was the base gasket so started to take it apart. Took carb off and noticed inlet manifold had come away at the top where it bonds to aluminium. Bugger $140.00 down the drain. Thought i would send Hot Foot Moto a email to see if there was any way i could fix it, they sent a reply asking me to send a picture and the date of purchase, got a pleasant reply the very next day saying that they would send me a new one. New one turned up in less than a week. Will certainly be doing more business with HOT FOOT MOTO.
