Well i spent my Saturday fixing my tri-z. This bike hasn't been ridden since February when i killed the top end running a little too lean. Had to borrow some parts from my 85 Z to get this puppy running for the next ride. Swapped my cylinder, piston, carb and intake, because i killed the top end this winter. When i get a new bore on the other cylinder- will swap all back again.

Spent some time getting the mud/sludge from Pennsylvania off and gave it a quick wash.

So far so good - need a little test and tune, but once warmed up, the bike runs strong and is pretty loud with the dg pipe. It hurts a little to take the parts from the other bike because that bike is perfect, but its a low cost solution for now. This cylinder is done up a little with some mild port work and has a good punch to it.

Last night i had my whole neighborhood filled with 2 stroke smoke.:w00t: its riding season.

I remember that pic chris. Hopefully we'll be down to PA again before end of this year for another ride. Thats the PA mud i was cleaning off yesterday - sludge from those powerline trails.

Yeah this cylinder and carb are tuned for the dg pipe, so trying to make the swap as easy as possible. That was the stock pipe i used on that ride. This DG make it real loud. Sounds like a snare drum.

Thats for compliments guys.
