    150cc Lifan fuel/carby issue

    You will have to change jets, that's probably why your bike is running crap currently. It is very unlikely you'll ever buy a carby and be able to have it running right without changing the jetting.

    DIY Candy Red Paint

    It's worth noting that I've got fluro yellow fuel line and I turned off the fuel tap and left the bike for a week without letting the leftover fuel out. So the part of the fuel line that had the fuel sitting in it for a week has actually lost its colour, so make sure you run your bike out of...

    DIY Candy Red Paint

    Hahaha funny you should say that, my brother lives in the UK and I had to get him to order them for me. The guy selling them was infuriating! I emailed him and asked if he would send them to Aus and he said yes, so I ask for a price, a week later he gives me a price. So I ask him to send me...

    essentials?

    For us to help you we'll need some essentials too: - What bike? What engine? - What's your rough budget? - What do you want to improve on your bike? (Suspension, acceleration, top speed, noise, etc) - Are you in Aus?

    Random Radness... post here

    If you have time watch the entire thing, it's hilarious. Otherwise skip to 12:39 and watch the KTM motard crash, I've never seen a jump made out of tar, it makes crashing look so much more painful! I'll never understand why people jump off their bike when they over-jump something, worst idea...

    DIY Candy Red Paint

    Could you give me a bit more info? I see it's anodized red, does that mean it's a bit transparent? I'm interested :)

    DIY Candy Red Paint

    Hey everyone, I've had an idea for a while now on how to make candy red in a spray can. So as far as I understand, in the simplest terms possible, candy red is achieved by spraying a metallic silver or gold base coat, and then covering that in a translucent (candy) red paint. The more layers of...

    Modifications

    Removing weight will help, if it's got electric start etc remove the battery and starter motor if possible. Like DHZ said there really isn't much out there for that motor. Maybe save up and buy a 125 for it and try and make that fit.

    big problems... mini bike

    Dude if you took the spark plug out it won't have any compression because the hole left where the spark plug is will be letting all of the air out = no compression. When you put the spark plug back it in will have compression again. If you've already put the spark plug back in and still have no...

    CRF70 good starting place?

    Oh ok, if you're located in America then it may not be as good of a deal. In Aus $700 would be a bargain price. Swapper is sort of right, you could spend $10,000 (probably even more) on it if you wanted, but you could also ride it stock and still be happy with it. You'll probably just need a...

    CRF70 good starting place?

    What year is it? That's a pretty good price, people still try to sell 2005 crf50's for more than that in NSW! I'd buy it for sure assuming it's well looked after.

    suspension setup

    You say you're new to riding, it might just be that you still need to get used to how to control the bike in those conditions. When I first started riding I used to look about a metre infront of me looking out for any little rock, stick or bump and I was a really bad rider. As my confidence...
