Hey Mike: Thanks for the info. I didn't know Lloyd could get his hands on a flattie. I think I will have to email him, and inquire some more. I remember a...
Oh yeah, I plan to get all the relevant manuals and parts catalogs too. But until I get my hands on an actual machine, I figure Weav's book is a great starting...
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you post on the Russian Iron forums? I was wondering if you know of any glitches with that site? I have registered 3 times,...
You just post as Schneider on there, don't you? I've read a few posts that you've contributed to. Usually revolving around the search terms "Kit and Bike" just...
I'm a member of Russin Iron and go there maybe once per month. This month I was locked out, password no bueno, blah, blah, but I went thru the motions getting...
40:1 ratio is safe for just about any 2 cycle engine. I wouldn't run leaner ratios (such as 60:1, or 80:1) unless you were running high end synthetic race...
Actually we have all decided to be against you. Bwaahaahaaha!! No really. Check your spam file. Same thing happened to me until I figured out that the site...
No, the confirmation email went to my main folder. I verified the email address with no issues. I just can't post for some reason, whether that is website...
Hey, Anyone ever deal with Vostok? I think the owners name is Mitch Brown. Seems that they sell complete machines, and kits. I know that the word "kit" is...
... Well, I'm not sure that he can but my point was more that you are located right next to a Dnepr Guru and should take full advantage of that - even if it...
I bought my Dnepr from Mitch. He's a straight-up guy. There were a few minor dohickeys on the bike, but nothing like you would find with a kit bike, and when...
Hi Andy, I like flathead bikes. To me they are much what owning a Soviet motorcycle is about. ( ease of repair, robust construction) In my humble opinion the...
Kit bikes are not the problem, its the seller that is usually the problem. I have never read anything bad about Vostock that I can remember. If he is close to...
Close enough anyway. I have found that online enthusiast forums, of any kind end up being an "enabler" to perpetuate hobbies. Ha ha ha! Seriously though, input...
Nice to hear that there have been good experiences. The price range I was quoted was something between $3K and $5K depending on condition. Not too bad. I am...
Sometimes when I am kicking the bike over and it's being in it's "fun to start" mood, it will pop out a backfire. It did it yesterday once or twice on my 50...
I don't know if there really is a problem with the spokes, themselves. The wheels look like they were put together by people who just didn't care whether they...
Stuie; Ken here, what you discribe is normal for some set ups, the reason it does this is that both plugs fire at once, this being known as a lost spark ...
Buyer Beware! I have recently purchased a Dnepr sidecar from Dnepr masters, located in of Florida, It came with some exciting problems. Before you purchase,...
Hey Mike. I have read up quite a bit on the kit experience. The guy I am likely to go through is in CA. It seems more like he'll sell a whole bike that can be...
Vostok Motors bikes are also titled and licensed in California, which is a definite edge over trying to get a kit bike titled. The only hassle I had getting my...
Good day! My Dnepr makes an odd noise, its sounds a bit like a load psssss from the air-brakes of a large truck, or city bus. If happens once I turn off the...
Thanks Ken! The ride yesterday was fun but I was trying to make sure the backfiring wasn't something I had messed up playing with the bike. All wires from the...
Hi, it's Vennak I just want to let you know that I also purchased a bike from dnepermasters in Florida from the same guy. I have to say that I have a very...
I just added new pix to my album (roverndnepr) for all to enjoy. The bike has been transforming slowly since the day it joined the family. Have fun and enjoy....
All, I found the problem. I took off the sidecar so I could look at the right side cylinder. I took off the valve cover and there it was--> One of the lifter...
