Bob...didn't the Honda Trail 90 have dual sprockets on the rear? Did you try it with the smaller sprocket? I know it was 30 years ago, but i remember that bike. The gas tank was under the seat, wasn't it. I had a Suzuki 120 c.c. about the same vintage...it had dual sprockets, too...and we'd use the small sprocket for late-night phantom runs on the public roads and down main street with it WFO the whole time. Not much to do in that sleepy little town when you were 14. steve "Robert A. Alexander" wrote: > Pete - Actually, YUGOs are quicker than our Vanagons!
