probably need a motor rebuild... not good

Remove your seat, and subframe from the bike, followed by the shock. The shock has a bolt at the top and bottom holding it in place. Remove the shock bolts and remove the shock.
The shock has two locking rings at teh top of the spring. You need to spin the two apart, which you will normally need a hammer and punch to do to get them seperated. Spin the top ring anti closkwise, to loosen it off as much as possible. Then loosen off the second ring and the spring will be free floating.

Loosen off the circlip holding the spring at the bottom of the spring. Once this is off, slip the spring over the shock housing and you are done. Assembly is the reverse process, but be sure to check your sag on teh rear shock once you have re-installed a spring.

Call dealership to be sure!

The floats dont often change their setting, so are usually left alone. The float needle has a neoprene tip, that isnt going to wear into the seat, and a spring tip on the other end, so they dont change.

Usually if the bike floods, the carb needs cleaning, occasionally you need to buy a new needle and seat.
The floats and needle cannot wear and create a lean mixture.
Sorry if I didnt answer the question "how to set the float"

5th gear pinned usually will starve the engine for the fuel mix, meaning not enough oil, meaning you probably melted the piston, or destroyed the rings, and maybe the cylinder also. No two stroke is made to be held wide open foe any lenght of time, and if you are already running a little lean, this is what happens. Tear it down, and look, and mearure the ring gap if averything seems o.k.

set your rear for full comp dampen, and change to a higher oil in the shocks like a 15 or 20 wt and set to full damp. ride and lower the dampening a click at a time until your landings feel soft and smooth. if you are bouncing after landings raise the rebound dampener also.

Obviously tsantawirya doesn't know what a 2 stroke is.

Run 40 or even 50:1. You can do it without hurting anything. Also, check your silencer packing. It may be saturated.

A little drippage isn't uncommon on any 2 stroke.

Check cable by disconnecting from gearbox and try, should be smooth.

It is far to cheap, it should be price around the AU$3,500.00. If you can get some one to check it out for you and it comes up roses, you have made a killing.

I recommend using Motul TransOil EXPERT 10W-40. Your transmission's capacity is 23 ounces.

Hope that helps!

you need a 520 chain at least 120 links you can cut it if to long with a chain break they sell them at your local dealer
