Thanks for the welcome!

Took R outto my buddy's house took quick look and let me know its an 88 or 89 not 87 which I was stoked. I have a question if anybody knows, in my air box, someone blocked off the hole by the air filter with a skateboard wheel, lol. Is this common? Also any suggestions on jetting, its stock Keinin, Bills pipe, pro circuit silencer, Im in Michigan, not sure my altitude lol. Any suggestons would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jeff

Yes some folks block the hole where the intake tubes used to be. As far as using a skateboard wheel, I'm sure that's gotta be a first. Ha. Anyway welcome. Great page with tons of info an great people.

Like Anthony said, blocking off that hole is normal, although using a skateboard wheel is not. lol If you get an extra moment, search for the carb jetting threads. Alot of good info and references to use to help set yours up. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Cool thank you, I actually sold that R and bought this one

bored over .120 wisco piston, long rod, 38mm keihin, fmf pipe and silencer, all new tires on itp rims the rest is fully stock all original 86! No cracks in plastic or seat all original oem graphics. The top and bottom end was all freshened up running great. I just cant bring myself to do anything else to it I am a sucker for the original 86.

Man, this site has helped me out so much using the forums and all the jetting help I got here, it was a lot easier getting this one jetted right and I have learned so much about 2 strokes and the R all together. Absolute epic quad!!! Epic forum!!!

I would have kept the fullbores but had to sell it to buy this one, but I am a sucker for the old school oem, plus I had to sell to buy up.

Oh it goes :quad:

I really want to change out a few things, front end rear axle and more, but I am having a hard time pulling off oem off this old original, I am already uncomfortable taking off oem bars and headlight. I plan on getting some led's to replace my headlamp rig job. I will definitely be getting some black or white fullbores and putting up the oem plastics. Definitely more show. Its fast enough already for me, although an ESR kit wouldn't hurt anybody.
