After almost a month in this forum I have learned alot of things. Especially dont expect to ride it like you stole it.

I am getting it from this guy for 300 bucks and a psp.. It is a x19 and comes with fiber mirrors.

He says after a couple times riding he noticed that it vibrated alot. Do I just tighten the engine mounts? Also he said he forgot to put the kickstand peg down and broke it can I just replace it.

Also anyone have instructions on how to rewire it to the break light?

check the motor mounts and other bolts that could come loose

Okay,reading this thread and I knew vibration would be one of the first problems mentioned that was wrong with the bike.It has been about a month of me suffering with my bike and having to deal with the vibration problems.After taking a closer look today with my buddy who is a mechanic, we took off the carburator,took it apart,and cleaned it all down and that wasn't the problem so his dad who is also a mechanic who seemed to be a bit more wiserbluelaughhad a loook and immeditailly noticed that my frame was bent but I could put it back into place by just hammering it a bit,well from there we went to the motor mounts.The motor below the top motor mount near the gears for the chain on an automatic was loose,after myself looking at it I was concerned that the tread inside of the actual mount welded onto the bike was stripped and that I would have to replace that entire hold..Luckily,I checked it out a bit more and noticed their was the nut holding it so it could'nt have possibly spinned and stripped the internal parts of the shaft so that it would need replacing.So all in all,it basically just needed to be tightened and will have to be checked after every ride.Now that I have my bike in the best running condition and better than it was new,I will be looking into some modifications such as a bigger carburator, X-Speed pipe which is a little pricey or I can talk to mishka about his drag pipes for only $100, sprocket combo,and K&N Air filter.Probably be looking at 60-70 mph right there

I finally got it... I have noticed the engine mount is loose and the exhaust needs another bolt..

Also The clutch is hooked to the break light.. and it doesnt work... You know a site that sells double fillament bulbs for these bikes? easy to install..

Ok my plan is to switch the wire from the clutch to my break... Then get a double fillament.. Just wondering if I need to upgrade something else then just the bulb.

no but there is a safety switch in the clutch that wont let you start the bike unless its pulled in right?
well then after you switch the wire to the brake, you need to remember to pull the brake to start the bike instead of the clutch
its crazy why they wired it like that
