I was running CEK-1 (leanest) and went to CEK-3....I think. You may be right though. I can't remember. All I remember was it was two clips richer. I LOVE the CEK in whatever position I have it in and the air screw at the first (only?) sweet spot (for a 220 anyway.) This bike has such awesome low rpm torque that I constantly run 1 gear taller now and I'm thinking of going back to the 13 tooth CS sprocket. (Running a 12 tooth right now.) I don't even use 1st when taking off from a dead start. The only time I use 1st is if I get off on a steep hill. Then it's nice to use when I'm walking the bike up the rest of the hill that is too steep to hop on and ride the rest of the way up.
Trev, I'm having some difficulty with PayPal right now or I would. I used Paypal to pay for an eBay auction I am disputing the quality of goods and I don't want them to lock down my account with any money in it. BTW, I just bought a USPS money order. It says clearly on it that it is good only in the USA. So check your money order over before buying and make sure it will be honored by US banks. I had one lost in the mail when a USPS truck was involved in a wreak and burned up. I had to wait 30 days before they would cut me a new one. When sending that kind of funds, I usually send registered or at least a certificate of mailing. If you send it regular post, then just wrap it in a couple of sheets of printer paper so it isn't detectable. Also, I have done straight bank to bank transfers. If your bank can do that for you then let me know, and I will give you my bank information to transfer the money into. The account # is not a problem releasing to you since it is protected with 3 passwords. When I do my banking on-line, I am asked for 3 passwords in a specific order. I can't move on to the next password without getting the first one right, and so on.

That sounds fantastic Ski. My bank will allow me to do a transfer to your account. Email me at your leisure as I won't have the $$$ for 2 weeks tops (dont forget those 3 passwords hehehe). All the issues you mentioned, are what I was worried about, ie, not valid in US, lost, stolen etc... Thanks Ski, my bestest buddy you.

I just finished all those mods to my bike too (including the head) and had my first ride on it yesterday. Was just riding on some flat grass field type riding (trails are still frozen/swampy), but it sure is FAST now!
Goes through all the gears soooooo fast. Even wheelies in 6th.
Was also cool to pull the plug and see it brown for the first time instead of black ;)
I will give more opinions on it after I hit some trails and tracks with it.
It has these mods (There are pics in the gallery of my bike if anyone wants to see):
EFM Auto Clutch
rear hand operated brake and SS rear brake hose
scotts steering stabilizer
race tech gold suspension valves
heavier fork springs
heavier shock spring
FMF Gnarly Rev
V-Force3
RB carb mod with air screw
RB head mod
e-line carbon fibre pipe gaurd
FMF turbinecore2 silencer
Moose hand gaurds
gps and ram mount
michelin s-12's
13/50 gearing change
TAG X5 Mini Works Bars
xgx graphics
Factory Effex gripper seat cover
devol rad gaurds
devol disc gaurds
EBC sintered R pads
MX style rear fender
MX style front number plate

I don't have the huevos to even try it. 4 gear is it. Not a power wheelie but a jerk and sitting back will.
Now, I have heard of guys talented enough to shift through the gears as they hold the wheelie. That could get a top gear wheelie going I bet. But that's a balance thing, not a power thing.

Now that I think about it - the fourth gear wheelies were not bone stock. Had a new suspension, new tires, and 12-47 gearing. What I meant was the engine was stock.motorider200 wrote:Mine will do power wheelies in fourth I just giv'er gas and it will loop out if I don't get off it.
Phil you must be good at that, I can't get my brothers stock 220 to come up in third.
Bone stock with the crappy soft suspension, and the stock gearing - third only IIRC (though I only had it stock for about three rides ;) )
I didn't say sixth gear wheelies are easy now either, jsut that I was impressed it would do it ;)
