As your going down the hill, give it a little gas to keep the belt engaged.

Ya I Know that little trick but since my Kawasaki Has about 10,000 km of hard

riding And i'm at higher elevation, the compression isn't enough to slow the

old "MADKAWI" down. After all it's a 391cc "WORN" out to a 400![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I was talking to Mickey Dunlap the other day about puting his 500 stroker

kit in this beast. Then i'll have a bit more engine braking when the belt is ingaged.

Plus I started designing my own rear disc brake. It involves a 250 mojavi rear disc

and spline, a steel braded line, arctic cat brake caliper and arctic cat master cylinder assembly

off a snowmobile. Can't wait to finish it and see how it works!!!!
