Hey guys, LeeCig with the e-cig here. Coming from 2 years of riding Kawi Ninjas. Just made the mistake back at the beginning of June of panick grabbing the front brakes while still in a lean on my 03 zx9r

Still in a cast. Still can ride my 01 zx7r for the most part. It's only been back in running condition for less than a month. Was supposed to be the wife's, but she's on the fence about it. I just picked up a 2006 tank basket case tonight. I know I know. In my defense it was only $130. Has 2200 miles on it so hopefully it's not too far gone. Hoping it might also get my wife back in the idea of learning the sportbike

I've got a ~~lot~~ LOT of reading to do! I can't even readily identify what model it is. It does start and idle. Needs a drive belt plus many, many, many more things I'm sure. Here are the only two pics I have right now from the ad. Wish me luck! I'm sure I'll be back

First thing first, let's go get this carb clean

But here is how to adjust the carb: Alleyoop itistheride.boards.net/thread/12/4ts-carb-tuning

Great lookin' post! I'm not unfamiliar with carbs, just these carbs. That should square away a few things for me. Thanks again. Great forum you guys have here!

Hey alley, could you move me over to the 150 section? I was told it was a 250, but found out it was only 150cc.

I'm also having a hard time identifying it. The plates on it definitely say 150 cc and 2006 year model. However, none of the 150cc models KBB lists look anything like the front end that I have. Let me go grab a pic or two.

Oh yea, the title lists it as 2006 Tank 3CG

No worries, just went and bought a new 110 jet for the main. I plan on ordering a Uni filter later tonight

Here's one that's been puzzling me. I know from the "tk150t-3a" marking on the VIN plate that it's a Tank Urban Touring scooter. So why does my title say Tank 3CG?
