The Dirty Girl
July 17, 2009 by swheels
It has come along ways from being stock,so the bike has evolved many times over from suspension to motor to light chassis mods.
I named my bike the dirty girl because every time i would lube up the chain.Then i’d go for alittle test run.The chain lube would get slung all over the place and with the slicks picking up the little debris, it would stick to the chassis and things.Plus some of the war scares she aquired over the years.LOL The bike is an x18.
The mod list includes:
1.yx 150cc base.
2.Nology coil.
3.Nology fire wire.
4.a big bore kit
5.TB v2 roller rocker head.(ported and polished)
6.28mm mikuni flatslide pumper carb.(This carb has a spray nozzle that sprays the fuel)Not as radical as my 28mm FCR down draft.But i got the motor tuned in easier with the Mikuni.LOL
7.A Dr.Frankenstien big bore custom underslung exhaust.
8.Tb oil cooler and braided lines.
9.custom dual front disc brakes.(with larger x18 rear rotors up front for the larger discs)
10.A custom front fork brace.It actually serves 2 purposes.(i made the brace recently so not seen i these pics)
11.Fully modded stock forks includes:spring preload adusters(custom made),modded damper rods internals,with bound and rebound adjustments.So now i have total control over the front fork action.This i am most proud of.
12.A custom made rear shock that has bound and rebound adjustments as well as spring preload.(I made this rear shock using 2 shocks from 2 different manufactures)
13.Front slick (soft compound)
14.rear slick (medium compound)
15.x1/x2 triples trees and bar clamps. I decided to go with this setup because with the x1/x2 triples being wider than the stock triples.Allowed me to use rims with wider hubs or use bigger brake calipers and rotors.The bar clamp from the x1/x2’s seem to clamp better than the stocker.Plus the moved the bars foreward about an 1/2in.They also allow the bars to be moved out or closer in.So you can really make the bike more comfortable to your liking.
OH almost forgot.16. modded x7 foot peg brackets.
17.x7 fairings.
18.Slight chassis mods.
19.steering dampener.
20.Vapor trail tech digital speedo/rpm gauge/temp guage.

funny thing to i'm alittle superstitious about cleaning the bike to much.But yet i'll tinker with the carb and things when it's running great just to see if i can get alittle more out of her.LOL But i refuse to do a thorough cleaning.
