Yes.. the power of the 185...... Its amazing how much power something appears to have if you take away the ability to brake and corner...........

Seems like all farmbike style dirtbike have shit brakes and suspension, dunno why as it cant be that hard to make that shit work

did notice a good wheelie or two though

hmmm, just drain the oil out until it regains suspension action, dampning wont be good but itll be better than nothing

Home quick and put it together with the bike and took it for its madien run!

FRIK! What a difference! So much more comfortable and confidence inspiring! NZSarge came with for a run over the saddle before carrying on home and I went over to the track for a bit of testing.. I mean ,.. a pootle. Nice run!

So the 9 is back and better than ever!

Oh.. and for a new piston, seals, oil, gas bladder.. putting it together and tuning it up nicely it cost me a grand total of $250! Huge thanks to Kerry Dukuc!

Is that from the Dukic suspension people? If so thats awesome.
