Derbi—The Red Power

I've been having a blast running my errands on the Malossi bike. But it does seem to be a bit rich as it takes it quite a while to get properly on the pipe. I'm going to have to try re-jetting it. The current jetting is that for which was employed when the 21 PHBG was on a previous bike—before I became hip to the PWK carbs—which ended up on most of my bikes.

I also think that maybe that inexpensive manifold on the bike is restricting it a bit. It would be nice to put a Malossi intake manifold on the Molissi bikes.

After the Days of Summer ride I took a look at the throttle. MT Mike has stated that he thought it had issues. Sure enough the cable was nearly worn out.

Some photos from cruising around the SF. Even went on a ride with the Groms.

Richard had a get together—which became an opportunity to ride the Malossi.

The Malossi bike was running a bit rich so I investigated with the bore camera. This was with a Del 21 running an 93 MJ. There's some char, but most of it has been washed off. There should be a lot more char with some wash around the A, B, and C ports.

Went out to the East Bay for some riding, but didn't get much in the way of photos!

Nice photo! :lover:

A 2002 Second Edition with first edition front plastics? They don't just bolt on either. What happen to the stock setup? You didn't like having a Lorenzo livery?

It's an '03 VIN with, I think, '01 bodywork.

I got the '03 rolling chassis completely disassembled in boxes, but no bodywork.

The '01 plastics were an ebay buy. You're right; took some head scratching to get them to fit!
