Aloha From Texas Gang!
I recently acquired a 1980 320 TL. The price was right but the bike is, well, different. Someone decided it needed to be red and black. From looking on here that is not the only thing. The forks have Schrader air valves. Is this stock? Do I pressurize them and if so, how much pressure. The shocks were complete junk so I replaced them with Rock Shocks.
The bike started right up, runs well even with a modern MX aluminum final silencer. I pulled off the side cover and it still has the original points in there. I see there is an electronic ignition that is available and that certainly looks great. Have you fellows made that change?
My biggest problem now is the clutch which is really stiff. I know it needs a new cable but I also read that there may be another side case that helps?
Finally, I am rebuilding this bike for a high altitude event in Colorado. The event goes up to 12,958 feet. I saw it mentioned to change jets but in Kehin carbs we go down for main jet to get leaner. My Beta goes from 125 to 115. I was thinking that the 90 should go to 75 or so. Is that possible?
Thanks,
David Klein
