howdy all, just a little update on my new little girl!!!!!!
long story short i traded a guy my 2003 yz426f for a 99 spirit 1100, (good trade i think) anyways im in the hill country of texas and he was located in San Antonio so it was a good 3 hour drive, the pics he sent me were of a bike that was fully put together, when i showed up it was in a bunch of pieces, no big deal i thought because im kinda handy lol, over the last 2 weeks i have been putting it back together and have gotten loooooooots of good info off here(thanks guys) i got her started and idles pretty good, still some adjustments needed on the carbs but overall going pretty good, will post some pics soon thanks for all the good info!!!!! |

I ride with a guy who has a YZ426F (I ride dirt and street) And that thing is a beast but what a PITA it is to start, If you get the shadow going and in good shape then you did alright. Post some pics up so we can see the new toy.
