Sweet ride! Looks like it's been taken care of.

 

Yes, all stock except for the D&D exhaust as far as i know of.

 

learn feathering the clutch, and slip it some when launching. it helps.

 

thanks

 

I believe the manual recommends up to 250 on the F3. Can it still be ridden? Yes. I remember back in the day my first car was a 93 Ford Escort. It had NO power and when I would pick up my 350lbs friend, the car would lean and I could definitely feel a difference in breaking and acceleration. The bikes are engineered for controlled specifics and weight is one of them. IMO, your friend needs another bike. LOL

 

Damn, I knew it. You had to go and publish a pic of me at a intersection preparing for take off. THANKS ALOT MAN!!!

 

hahaha, I thought not showing your face would "keep it private".

 

sooo much for gas mileage, but hello traction

 

its way to easy ridin wheelies, just lean back.

 

The key to launching your 98 is practice, practice, and more practice!
Too much weight on the front end spins the rear. Not enough throttle on the jump and the bike bogs off the line.You must find the fine line between breaking it loose and keeping it on the ground.
Time and practice are your friends.
