What did you do to your bike today?

it is getting close to Party time...err, I mean Derby time 
1981 Yamaha IT175 I acquired from a buddy, shortly after I did the top end he needed money for rent. A new iron horse in my stable. Probably a decent scoot for my girlfriend who weighs 100lbs soaking wet.
Anyways, I took it out for a ride. Runs out of fuel after about a 1/2 mile of full throttle riding. Then fills the bowl in 45 seconds and will start for you and run for another 1/2 mile before sputtering out.
I think the petcock is clogged or falling apart and not allowing enough fuel through for full throttle desert romps. It runs great around the back yard, where I don't think I ever use the fuel in the bowl fast enough. Enough said, time to wrench... -BIG DAN

Got tired of the stiff, super narrow butt breaking ktm seat. My bro and I drove down to Seat Concepts today and they worked their magic.
