I had the ssr 143 back in the day. Basically a bbr clone. With the aluminum frame and oil cooler. Shit was probably the sickest 4 stroke I ever had

[@JesseK410]

Was it the SSR SP2 or SP3 by chance? That was one of the aluminum Frames they produced

[@Markonacr250r]

@@JesseK410 not sure. I’m super sour on how I got rid of it. It was a unit and would be today with some care

@@JesseK410 I looked it was the pf3 bike with a 143 engine. It’s a hair bigger for different tire size. Adjustable forks is the other difference

Nice ride! Thinking about two SSR’s for my boys. Young bucks, beginners. Btw - the area you’re riding looks so familiar! It’s not Peabody by chance is it? Cheers

[@JesseK410]

Thank you I appreciate it, its sold now tho. And yeah the SSR are great beginner bikes. Best bang for your buck for sure and yessir

[@supremff9823]

Those tires stay on the wheels that it comes with or do you need new wheels? and do you need tires too?

[@JesseK410]

I bought new wheels because i wanted a motocross/off road setup an also the supermoto/street steup…keep in mind on the blue wheels are both 12 inch rims and the stock wheels are 12 and 14 inch rims…i change the tires out from the factory anyways, the ones that they come with aren’t that great i love the Mitas / IRC combo i have on the dirt wheels i highly recommend that setup on factory wheels for MX

[@Kroviakjm]

What did you clean the frame and swing arm with? Shit looks brand new

[@JesseK410]

I used simple green and water then i went an touched up a few spots with VHT black enamel spray paint. And for the swinger i used mothers metal polish. The bike was actually pretty clean when i picked it up, it just needed to be fully taken apart an gone through

[@Kroviakjm]

Hey could you help me out with the fork size that come on these bikes. Are they 730mm?

[@JesseK410]

Yessir that’s correct

[@Kroviakjm]

Hey do you know the tourqe settings for the swing arm pivot bolt and wheel axle bolts on this bike?

[@JesseK410]

I don’t use a torque spec for the pivot bolt, just gotta make sure its tight and use some red lock on the nut. Don’t over tighten it so much as to blow out the bearings.

[@Kroviakjm]

Sick

[@JesseK410]

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the view and comment! 🤘🏼

[@rexs8058]

Thatz a sick build...we're did u buy yr 140cc from

[@JesseK410]

Thanks i appreciate it! I recently sold it for 1600. I actually got the YX140 out of a pitsterpro mxr140 that me and a buddy built a yx201cc for, so the yx140 engine came out and i had tossed it into this frame bc the original yx160cc engine was used for the 201cc build haha

[@Kroviakjm]

Where did you get those fork bleeders? What kind are they

[@JesseK410]

I got them from a local shop but you can definitely get them from ebay there (M5 x 0.8) and if you look them up for YZ250 they will be the ones, there all the same just different brands but make sure its the correct thread pitch an size

[@Kroviakjm]

What’s your opinion on 2 strokes? I’m thinking about getting a kx65.

[@JesseK410]

I love 2 strokes! For a pitbike not so much tho bc its not considered a pitbike bc its liquid cooled and also 2 stroke obviously so there not allowed to race with pitbikes. Unless you a really small dude a kx65 will be way to small the rider triangle is to tight as its meant for a young kid. I had a kx60 and more recently a ktm65 i made into a supermoto but was just to small an uncomfortable i thought

[@Kroviakjm]

Ah cause the pegs are fixed to the frame and not a peg bar that can be straight.

[@JesseK410]

@@Kroviakjm yeah that too but just made for like a 12 year old so when adults ride them there super cramped an suspension is way to soft .. definitely cool lil 2 smoke rippas tho

Hey man im running this pwk 26 nibbi carb on a 140ssr tr but just cant get it tuned right what jets would u recommend currently running 38 pilot 110 main needle on last clip im around 500ft elevation

[@JesseK410]

I would try 30-32 pilot and 110main and keep the clip in the middle and air screw at 1.5-2 turns out

@@ericlara8986 where is your air screw set at? It could be a problem with the carb itself too

[@tonio1991]

What swingarm is that your running?

[@JesseK410]

Its the SSR TX one

[@StolenGixxer]

Do you have anything else done to your motor? I have the same 26 flat slide, same jets and it’s tuned exactly like yours. Bike cuts out/ bogs right before it hits top powerband

[@JesseK410]

The engine is stock besides the exhaust and the carb but keep in mind im also at sea level so elevation will effect the jetting and one thing to double check is your valve lash i have mine set to .003 and .004 ..judging by what ur describing i would try going with a larger main jet and see if it gets better or worse but when your 3/4 - wide open throttle your running on the main jet so that’s definitely what your gonna wanna mess with but not to say its not something else causing the issue…when did it first start doing that?, when you put the carb on?

[@StolenGixxer]

@@JesseK410 My head is ported plus I have a z40 cam and springs so I set my valves to 004 intake 005 exhaust. First I had a round 24mm it ran fine, just picked up this 26 flat slide with Powerjet and it runs funny. I have a 110 and a 32 in it now, do you think 110 30 would help? Don’t know if I need more or less gas because the Powerjet lol

@@StolenGixxer keep that power jet shut thats for 2 strokes..i dont use it either. That could be your issue if its open.

@@StolenGixxer if anything like i said try a bigger main jet if you have one..is your clip in the middle position?

I would say 3 heat cycles then go ride it dont go crazy just take it easy..After that ride change the oil and your good to go!! Safest bet. That’s enough to allow the rings to seat properly for sure. Hope that helps
