Yeah, it sucks. I kind of wanted to keep it original for nostalgia reasons but then that's meaning I can't do much but rec. riding through Missouri woods. I want something I can take to the dunes and do some big jumps if that just so happens to come up. It's a arms are too weak for that I'm afraid. As well as swing arm. So what's the point in keeping it stock. What I want to know is if this factory motor is going to be under powered when I'm trying to go up a big dune. It's not that impressive right now, which is where you guys come in. lol
