Picked up an 05 Phenix last weekend

I have to say that I'm relatively impressed with the build quality. I got it for really short change and it needs rear tires but I really like it. It runs pretty strong for a 200 and hauls my 145 lb bony **** around pretty good. I actually bought it for my wife to ride and she's thrilled with the thing. It was used but well maintained. A few observations, the rear shock sucks anyone know what a good replacement would be? Back drum brake is weak. Front brakes stop well. Transmission shift great into forward but you have to blip the throttle to get it into reverse. I think it still has the 80W90 in transmission so changing to a lighter oil may help this. Everything else seems well built and sturdy enough for a 200 class machine. Much sportier than a Kawasaki Bayou 250 which I was considering. My wife loves the automatic transmission.
