tighten bolts first

i shit you not i assumed the motor would be tightened up, and sure enough i had to pick up a rather battered looking carby that i left behind me

and the crank case wasn't even tightened together

then fix the rest as you go

Fook me

Duly noted!

also, clean out the Carburetor regularly, carbs seem to be the main problem on the $200-$300 bikes, i wouldn't recommend using Castrol R because if you leave it to sit in the lines for a week or two it clogs the carburetor.

Believe me imdying, ya buy one of these to just have fun, and its like a weed, just grows and grows on you

!! Less than 6mths after starting, we have brought two and a trailer to cart them round in, now looking to increase power/speed/reliability of them!! This sport is addictive!!

Dahm right

Minimoto racing gets more addictive the more you ride them. i brought a $200 Daytona for some fun on the driveway, and now i race them, and spend lots of money on bikes, gear etc.

who said the dm reps are the best?
you probably don't want to talk about things you have no idea about.
DM rep motor mount need to be cutoff and rewelded on in right place so chain doesn't fall off and smack you in the back of your head. motors are only good for rubbish bin, frames are no welded probably so they crack!!! front hubs crack as they are machine to thin for china alloy to handle, front triple clamps are to large for 25mm fork so they will slide down even when tight as. IT works out cheaper to buy the real thing or leave it parked in your garage.

duly noted, but, a $200 air cooled machine will do just fine for mucking around on and you don't have to spend any money on them - the standard class implies you shouldn't - and if the kids/wife don't like the new toy? well you'll be glad you only spent 200 bucks on it! then if the kids are keen you can looks at spending mega bucks on a rocket

it does kind of strike me as silly seeing a lot of you guys spending so much money money on your pocket rockets that you may as well be running a mint fxr in buckets or possibly even run in F3

i'm gutted i have to spend all of $35 on a new tyre
