Default 1985 Bayou 185 is still going strong...

If anyone can remember, a while back I was asking some questions on a top end rebuild on my '85 185. I opted not to replace the damaged piston. Well, I'm guessing 300 extremely rough miles later (no rear suspension), it's still doing fine. I blew the gasket out on the header, but the gasket and header clamp are in the mail from Bikebandit. All I can say about this thing is,
It's little, but it seems to be able to take on about anything. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Fun machine. I just wish it was as smooth of a ride as my friend's '77 Honda 175 enduro. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Mine is the same as yours.
I just finished rebuilding the motor in it.I bored it 40 thousands over.

They're a great little machine.
