There was no doubt in my mind that you would get that little imposter running as good as it ever possibly could . And to do for "free 99 " was the kicker .I hope your friend appreciates the time effort and knowledge required to make it happen . Niffy spark plug tester at the 6:13 mark .I need to aquire one of those for sure . Do you recommend the one you use or should I be looking at different models out there ? Nice finishing touch with the Links Garage sticker seal of approval . Also cool little test track right beside your house , man your kids a lucky .

the 150's are wicked im 190 and she would rock me around (sadly never got a topspeed run on gps befor we sold it ). what do you want to do crazy ripn or just have a nice yard bike. we got a new 2020 klx 140l and ya in not a kx85 or a crf 150 but shes not as needy either. just hit the start and go. with our weight stock she does 55 vs 64 on the kx85 . to me 2 strokes are easier to work on. you or me could swap a piston and ring out in a hr or so where the 150 to me is a little more indepth (but thats me). if you were to go just buy something the kx 100 that would be on par with a crf 150r but less needy. sorry i was rambling but i cant wait to see what falls into your lap. if i can help any more let me know and enjoy the rest of the weekend

The lead acid battery in my DRZ was toast after a year. I would recharge it and it wouldn't hold charge for a week. Got a lithium-ion battery and it's been great. I describe the weight as a pack of cigarettes compared to a 6 pack of beer, which is important in a DRZ where the battery sits high and out the back in the bike. The cold cranking amps are greater too Scott which is why the big Suzuki fires up fast. I don't know why the bike doesn't like the battery but that's weird and I'd get rid of it (the battery not the bike never get rid of the bike!)

Lithium batteries will fail if charged above 13.8 volts for any length of time. I tried one of those Anti-Gravity batteries in my old Sportster and when I checked the charge voltage it was around 14 volts so I figured close enough! Wrong! After about 20 miles my voltage regulator was smoked and the battery was destroyed. If you have a newer bike that was designed to run Lithium you should be fine. I would not try to run one of those in an older bike designed to run lead acid. Charge voltage and internal resistance on Lithium batteries is not compatible with older bikes.

Damn Link, that 5 lb difference out to get you into trouble about 1/2 second faster than you are used too? I make fun but I couldn't sit comfortably on that bike. The DRz I'd enjoy, the other I'd go to GOD......or not! It's like there's a "communication" problem between the bike & that battery? Too many "smart" devices w/ their own brains might not work well? I've seen regular lithium battery's but this one has that "smart" feature allowing a key to talk to it = another smart device trying to tell your bike what to do/how to act. I'm gonna say they've seen this issue by now in some bikes? Might be early but they know some bike ECU's aren't gonna recognize how this battery moves/generates, and stores power thru the alternator. I'm really interested in seeing what comes of this ! I don't even own a bike & this is important !
