and other irrelevant chit-chat 
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

Re: What's next bike?
Neat!
Bruce have you picked this up yet? Id love to see one in person.
I hear there is a relatively cheap 180cc kit for that engine.

Re: Baby Beta
First of all it is red, really red. Redder than a Honda 
Second- the (lack of ) power is underwhelming 
I pulled the exhaust insert, popped a couple holes in the airbox- that's always good
I fiddled around with some things, and have few back road miles logged. I figured out how to adjust front brake, rear brake also, but the rear is still touchy. Preload adjusted- no other suspension adjustments. Re torqued axle bolts and triples, stem bolt good. Front is still "wiggly" above 50 on paved roads. New knobby on a dirt bike syndrome? Maybe balance the front wheel. I have yet to ride any gravel, hopefully this weekend, although it looks like rain for a few days. Steering seems quick, but limited? IDK gotta ride it some more.
Jared put in a foam filter- stock is paper
But it really bogged. Interwebs says jetting change needed with foam filter. I have a second set of jets, but for now I switched filter.
All in all, not bad, works fine on the 35-45 mph roads that I travel.
This should fill the gap for running gravel forest roads. And it's easy to load on the hitch hauler.
Time will tell. I need ti side by side with other Betas to see where they saved $$
I tell you the bottom end looks bigger than a 125. Big bore kit going in after the warranty.
