HA! That's funny Doug...I have heard some of the Vet enduro guys talking about riding vintage bikes in current events and they said they hated the things then and why would they want to ride them now.
I still think the vintage bikes are cool and the guys that rode and currently ride them are even cooler. Real men, I tell ya.
Hey, I resemble that remark, lol! I could use a new bike too. Maybe I should send Santa Claus a letter.

If you run across another 490 shoot me an email.
I have a picture of John DeSoto("THe Flyin Hawaiin") racing my 490 I sold - I would post it but don't know how.

Something is not quite right if it kicks back. It should be quite easy to kick safely with the comp release. I always removed my comp release and never had a problem. Ck your timing. Be sure the cylinder is primed with gas before starting.

You can't kick it thru without the compression release........
I replaced the Bing with a new Mikuni and it starts better now..

I could give you a half a lap jump and still run you down. I used to have a Cz like your 380 and the 490 is a modern bike compared to it. Switch bikes and you would spank me the same way........

I replaced the CZ's with a 250 Elsinore.I thought I needed better legs.Now you'll have to give me about a three lap lead with this gutless turd.
