This the progress,thus far bike is fine,shifts smoother than before.BUT,the k-starter works I canhear the gears making like a ratcheting,rattleing sound.When I push the kick-lever forward{wich it did'nt do before}it stops.That is the only issue.This thing going to have sweet,tractable power.Now I know how a new bike proporly jetted with 8mm of base-gasket taken out of it.YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
