Would you guys say this is a good bike for its price, do you think it would fall apart or need alot of maintenance? Coz im just getting into bikes and i might buy this for my first bike.

hey bro good choice.. i ahve the same bike. well mines a pit pro 138cc. with a genuine lifan 138. i have the bling frame. all polished and shit. the things i found ithat i thought u would need to know are as follows..
1 the handle bars are ok. but if you are going to jump. its pretty much a MUST upgrade..
2 the rear shocker on the bike is stock. its good for general thrashing. but once u start jumping it .. well it can take light jumps if u are getting more into it.. its a MUST to get the fast ace shock as a upgrade.
3. the tyres are good. i havent had any problems with it yet.
4 the disc breaks are good, i can 12 mine with ease.. but the rear break took a while to wear in. thats nothing tho.. as for the frount break.. it seems ok. just make sure all the bolts ther are done up and you should be fine..
5 th rear sub frame. is ok. thats it "ok" i havent had a chance to check the upgraded frames yet. but mine seems to be fine.
6.. THE WORST OF ALL " THE SIDE STAND"
ok wen the stand is out. the bike has about 3cms untill it falls over.. so take it of. OR CUT 3 INCHES OF THE STAND LIKE I DID AND IT WILL BE FINE..
the rest of the bike seems to be holding up just fine. i can not stress enought that you check, check again and double check the bolts ALL OVER THE BIKE. if u want u could spend 80 buskc and get stainless steal bolts and fit them.. the stock ones are fine. just check them, take it as faith in me. u dont want to be flying along in 4th and have ya frount wheele spit out.. not that that happend.. but you get my drift..
over all i like my pit pro. its what i wanted it for "wheelies" another good thing to do. is check out other riders parts. especially the guys that go hard.. see the suspension frame. etc
over all its a great buy. but i would advise if you are going to jump to get the upgraded frame. TRADE YOUR ONE IN.
