pm emerrhh on here he has a 125 ssr china bike. Its pretty sweet. It gets my ttr 110 off the line. but mine seems to have a wee bit more top end. LOL good times riding pit bikes when he first got it. so much random shit went wrong nothing major just totally random shit failing.

I started building a shifter cart with a lifan engine. Never finished it, so I don't know how well they hold up, but out of the crate it looked good and ran like a champ.

And what are you doing with the remains of the shifter cart project? selling it? 125cc?

ive got a thumpstar 125cc its also a lifan. Mine had a weak crank and snapped in half on me about 3 hours of riding. but i replaced it for 60 bucks. and she runs like a raped ape. i gps'd it at 49 mph. Get one there fun as shit.

My buddy Rob (curly headed dude in video) has a x-18 mid-bike. Its 110cc. Made in China, and pretty much crap.
Here is a video of us farting around on it after he had it a few days.

Its fun to ride. Seems like it'll do 40-ish mph. He bought it used, fixed a few things wrong with it. Like the brake light illuminating when you squeeze the clutch.
He's since painted it and made a homemade muffler for it.

I believe it's a 200cc. It is a "type R" 6speed w/electric start and kick start. It may have OHC as well. Paid about $400... may be willing to sell it and the cart which is about 70% complete.

thanks guys. i dunno, kinda dont want another thing to work on around here Seems like these things are real hit and misses. I guess if it still runs like he says it must be okay cause everything ive seen is if it is crap it falls apart in a week. Otherwise people are pretty happy with them i guess.

OrOr, you paid 400 for a pos Chinese 200cc when that coulda got ya a 2 stroke 125 that would rape it? whatever floats ur boat i guess. Kinda a spur of the moment build? just curious as to why?

Emerehh

i have an ssr 125, thing has broken on me so many fucking times.. but either way i have good friends that looooooooooove fixing my chinese piece of crap at 3am when everyone is drunk.. it gives them something to do. lol

not to mention its tons of fun till i end up doing something dumb and breaking it again


if you arent looking forward to lots of wrenchtime to ride time.. dont get a chinese pitbike unless if its one of the ungodly expensive ones, and even then its still a toss up.

i dont know i beat the shit out of my thumper and its only broke once.
