Thanks for your input. Yes, I thought of that solution. However, the problem has resolved itself; after riding it for about 84,000 miles, I have retired my Zong. Goodbye old girl; you served me well.

I replaced my Zong with a 2006 Yamaha XT225. I bought the bike for $1,800 dollars. It was in mint condition with only 1,004 miles on the odometer. I have transferred the shock spring, skid plate, hand guards, and 4.1-gallon fuel tank from the Zong to the XT225. I will post a thread on my Yamaha in the near future.
