    Very true but it did not mention here the engine originated from.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Nor the fact that it will stall at nearly every traffic light.

    Mine is actually pretty good now, if it were running at all that is but it will still just stop for no reason now and again when you least expect it.

    Same with mine, just once in a while now. It's been loads better just by adjusting the mixture out half a turn. Would prob fix it altogther if I upped the tick over too but I like the sound better when it's around 1200rpm.

    I thought the pdf was good as it illustrated the colours in their years.

    The pdf was great, thanks for putting it up.

    The trouble with me is I grew up with great thumping singles that would tick over at about 600rpm and would pull like a train from almost tickover. The NX is a bit more highly strung and does not like ticking over much below twice that and as for pulling from those revs forget it. In top mine does not like going below 3k in top but can be coaxed to get down to 2.5k. Mind you as I have not taken it off road I don't know what it would be like in the lower gears. I put it down to not having a big heavy flywheel. My old XL will pull from just over 1k and will do the red line and more in top, rider sitting bolt upright. Red line is 8k which is 80mph in top. Mind you it does have a Yoshimura half race cam and piston in it.
