Did a complete work through of the twist grip and throttle cable, the pulley wheel in the twist grip had a small notch wore into it, so replaced that, lubed the throttle cable etc. cleaned the slide, Again, about an hour into the ride, starts to stick. I can feel it, it's the slider, not the...

Yeah I have a few lying around...on my list to do....bleck...just such a pain running through all the stpes. Another thing I want to try is to stretch the slider spring a bit, it would be nice if they made slightly heavier return springs for the throttle slider....

I think my next step will be to try a fresh air filter, sans oil. Just to rule that out. Obviously I'll probably have to clean the carb out again.....

Well, because I had to adjust the fuel screw almost to closed, yes, definitely something got into the pilot..... So to recap I have the notchy 1/8th turn, throttle issue after about 1hr of riding or once the motor is really heated up. And issue two now is that it seems like the pilot is...

So a quick update: Did a bunch of troubleshooting with the focus being the twist grip and throttle cable but sure enough after about an hour of riding it started doing it again. It really is the weirdest thing. I can shut the bike off and twist the throttle with zero drag or resistance, works...

Well my bikes are definitely different. So yes, the throttle cable does have a very tight bend towards the end before it goes into the carb because the gas tank is right on top. So for sure, I think I'll try rerouting the cable or adding a little length to the line from where it's clamped to...

So I've got my bike running good as new again but there is still a small issue that is annoying me. I had this issue at the end of last year also, with a perfectly good running engine. YX160, runs fine but about 1hr into riding, the throttle get's a little stiff and it takes a while to come off...

Guys, First of all, I appreciate all the help and feedback, having a community like this is pretty awesome right. Like instant troubleshooting. Hopefully I'll make it down under from up top someday :). Ok, so here's the update. My new pilots and seat valve arrived. I replaced them both and...

Yep. I followed the steps you've mentioned. There was definitely something sketchy going on in the pilot circuit, looks to be the pilot jet itself and maybe a little bit of gunk in the area just after the pilot jet, where that very small hole opens up into the carb. When I take the pilot out...

Just did a better inspection of the pilot circuit. Pilot circuit looks ok but the pilot jet might need changing after all. Getting some sketchiness when I blow through the circuit with the pilot installed, pull the pilot out and clean and clear. I'll change all those parts, basically a light...

lol, Ya I hear you. There's only so many things that it can be. I've done most of those things already, pretty much the first go to troubleshooting steps right :) Clean carb, check holes etc. etc. but I'm going to try them again just for kicks. I did the dip overnight in carb cleaner then the...

cheers man, ya actually sorta jumped the gun on that one. It's marked right on it, 2.5. I've ordered one in. Dunno though I have a sneaking suspicion it might not be the seat.... here's the issue: engine YX160, few years old, good compression, no air leaks that I know of. Engine has worked...

Hey guys, Anyone know what the stock needle/seat size if for the VM26?? I have a stuck float needle/seat that I want to replace but just don't know what size it is, I notice on-line they have different sizes, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.8 etc.

:~, are we talking about the same bikes here... FX Bikes Mountain Moto World they just released their new frame design, it's a truss tubing design...nothing to do with KTM300. The KTM's are pretty cool also though, but still a big bike.

lol...that's awesome Unit, that comment means a lot! Spread the word dude. It definitely was a big surprise to see the new FX-5 frame design (ie, chromo truss tubing), it's definitely not for everyone's taste but structurally it's one of the strongest designs....but I'm just wondering how...

Craig, The muffler in your pictures above is not a match at all. The pipe is angled in the wrong direction!! lol. The one that you linked me in the PM you sent, the one on Alibaba looks about right, but I still have my doubts, it's cheap so I might just risk it. The bikes you guys are...

MX67xr, Thanks for the link in the PM, pretty much what I need, atleast it looks like it in the picture. Chinese, they'll probably send something completely different. Lol. Well, no need to bring it to a shop, I do all the fab work myself, but that's just the point, I don't want to. Not if...

EH guys, Wasn't sure if I should put this into the wanted section but meh, here goes. So I'm trying to find a pipe like the one in the left side picture, it's a shorter (silencer) with a slightly more angled lead pipe than the D-section mufflers. I'm just wondering if anyone knows this style...
