The brakes would turn to mush and lose half or more of their stopping power when wet or muddy! It was an ass puckerer on big downhills...you would be standing on the rear break and squeezing the front with everything you had and you would still just slow down. The kickstarter was on the left side of the bike, so I had to get off to kick it over with the right leg. It was a heavy pig, but it hauled ass and the steering geometry made it good for the woods. Maintenance was never an issue because I never did any back then...dad had no real tools! <img src="https://www.dirtbikeaddicts.com/static/images/smilies/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="Eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
