    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    I don't have a tach. His no longer surges and mine does. He weighs 30 lbs more then I do.

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    So I have practically removed the throttle screw from my 6.5 in order to get maximum speed out of the motor without serious modifications. I'm bummed because my buddy's stock 6.5 is running about 1 MPH faster than mine. Just can't have this guys! Any suggestions? I'm still getting the surge...

    Yahoo Baja group info

    I just unsubscribed from the group. Not because I didn't like it, but because it appeared to be more for guys who are into the larger Baja Mini/Heat bikes. I'm a straight DB30 guy. :thumbsup:

    future DB30 mods on stock engine?

    Hey no offense, but my "One In a Million" motor has yours beat. I backed off the throttle screw and this is my Baja Blitz doing 33 MPH on a GPS. I tested it six ways to Sunday and it IS accurate. Look at each picture at the bottom where it says top speed. It was difficult to take a screen...

    Thanks Strigoi, I'll drain it in the AM and head on over to get some dyno. Any response on the double kill switch? Have you heard of this being done before?

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    Sorry for the double post. Question: Has anyone made a double kill switch on their 6.5? I know it sounds strange, but I got to thinking about this. I ride my mini up to the supermarket a half mile from my house regularly. I leave it out front unlocked (I know, I know). Anyway, for the sake...

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    cjtmini, Jeff and I got our kits on Saturday! Can't tell you how excited we were to get working on our bikes. It was like a race to see who could pull the cord and twist the thottle first. Thanks for getting it here quick! As a semi-conclusion to my "hard on" to get this thing done, let me...

    Open Message of Thanks

    I couldn't agree more with the content of Seekers post. My experience parallels his only I bumped into my first mini at a Checker in March 2009. My family has four of these now. :thumbsup:

    ctjmini, You may not know this, but I already ordered the plate and bolts via my buddy Jeff. Not sure if he mentioned that he was ordering for both of us. I am certain that your stuff is the real deal and I am waiting on baited breath for the delivery guy to show up with the package. LOL...

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    You are right. For me it was never about not knowing the kit was a good idea, it was about wanting that thing done last weekend. Glad I waited!

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    Allen, Thanks for this description. I got about 1/3 of the way into what you are describing but just didnt feel the confidence to continue and having never seen a converted bike in person, I didn't want to chance it. I am certain that your description will be helpful to others on here who are...

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    Strigoi and Altered, Thanks again for answers and advice. I've decided to wait and purchase the plate. Altered, I'm pretty sure that I can do it, but the time, tools and stress involved just isn't worth it. However, thanks for taking the time to elaborate on how you did it. Also, thanks to...

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    That is what I want to believe. However, I want to get it right and not ruin a chain, clutch or motor. Do you speak from experience? Have you done this yourself? If so, any information you could pass along?

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    Thanks guys! I still haven't drilled and I am planning to place my order on Monday. Maybe sooner. I wanna drill those holes so bad I can taste it, but I am convinced that the right decision is to take the "known way" in this case.

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    Call me ignorant, but I never intended to make slots. Adjustment would be made by removing chain links and/or the tensioner which I would start out in the forward most position. Fill me in here if I am clueless. I havn't drilled yet. Leaning more toward waiting still.

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    I know you and everyone is right. I just gotta get this glutton for punishment out of my system. Hasn't anyone on here successfully drilled those holes in the right place who has measured them and can pass the information along? Is the issue of drilling the holes that they are not...

    My 6.5hp Conversion Questions

    I'm flip flopping like a fish on this one. I am inclined to follow all of your advice about the plate and wait it out, but THERE it sits. I have it all mapped out and am just waiting to drill those four holes. Curious though. As it sits in there right now, in a forward position, there is...

    Thanks a ton Hardly! I'll be picking up the bold at Home Depot today. Just a clarification on your response to [3]. Do you mean pull the engine toward the rear tire or front? I know about not running engine on packing oil and to change it several times right away. Seems that most would...
