New (to me) $350 '99 Jog

[Chisholm]

Hello,
I picked up this Jog on Sunday off of CL, it has 262 miles and a title. Been looking for one for a while... Doesn't run though, I've been working on it, and it's getting better.

Nice find! Is the cylinder horizontal on that motor?

[Gingerbread Man]

Awesome find! I would have paid twice that.

Yes that dose have the hornizal engine.

Got it running! Cleaned the carb and plug, and changed the gas. I'm pretty sure that the 2T oil is from the factory.

It's a little different than working on the Hondas. For one, things don't seem as bolted in place. The carb is supported by the intake box and rubber plenum.

The horizontal motor is sort of tucked in where the swing arm meets the frame. Without the seat and plastics, it's very low. That motor is ballsy! It tries to torque the whole bike sideways on the stand when I rev it.

Rides sort of bouncy, like the Spree. Not as substantial feeling as the Elite.

Goes about 42 per the speedo. I like it!

Lucky, you can make those horizontal motors fly!

The old jogs were never fast due to limited gear ratio's
