Aware of this, hence why I should have asked.

It seems to be a 4 speed. Rode it. Needs some diddly shit - levers, mostly...hand and foot controls are all a little twisted (typical for a dirt bike), the clutch lever is snapped off at half. The bars are aluminum, and a little tweaked. The kick start doesn't catch every cog, but it starts real easy, just choke, no throttle. Because the footpegs are a little tweaked, it's actually easier to start by hand (for a man with a size 10 shoe)...that's how easy it kicks over.

This, of course, also suggests that a ring may soon be in order, but for now, it seems to have enough squish to light and run.

It was a little fat on top, but it's cold. It's probably jetted OK for normal weather, and summer gas.
