P.S and also what sort of upgrades would i be able to do to this?

 

[jimmy_1212]

mate just leave as is other wise youll end up spending more money on doing it up then what you payed for it

 

[Sidney]

You should have done some research and never sold your KX man.

Honestly these ebay bikes aren't that great.

 

[rainey]

mate im sorry to say that your bike isnt going to last long exspecially how you have gone from a 2 stroker 125 to a four stroke chinese POS. your gonna be really dissapointed when it breaks , so i reckon just leave as is so you dont waste any more money

ay mate, welcome to the forum , glade your pumped on getting your mini, as for the upgrades on it, there is countless. starting from a new chain to big bore kits. 1st off the best upgrade its getting a new chain (a real branded one like rk or d.i.d) because these chinese chains are hopeless and just keep stretching and snap, then best of getting a new air filter, ,many people would recommend uni filters as they are easy to get your hands on and inexpensive. then after you have gone through about 5 tanks replace your oil as the factory oil is for run in only and low grade. other then that you can make her look pretty with sticker kits, dress up kits, etc. or go for performance with race cdi's and inner rotor kits, its all up to you. have fun

 

[Mitch6030]

yeah im not expecting anything too great for what i paid, its just for some weekend fun with the mates.

Can anyone tell me about running in? i know what it is i just dont quite understand what i should do and for how long? do i need to just cruise around for a couple tanks?

 

[Franky]

Run it in hard, Only way.

 

[Mitch6030]

explain? thrash it or what?

 

[Mitch6030]

and are the plastics on it the same as any other types of bikes? for graphics kits and stuff.

 

[Divy]

your plastics are crf50 copys so any crf50 kit will fit and the good thing about it is there are alot of crf50 graphics kits going around

as for run in every one has there own way some will say just go hard some say ride normal and some say cruse

my way is ride normal and try not to hit high rpms for the first tank and give it a brake let it cool down abit every now and then and then after a tank or tank and a half go nuts shes run in

but like i said thats how i do it others have there own way

 

[Mitch6030]

Thanks mate, appreciate it

 

[motoluver]

It only takes around 1 hour to brake the motor in. I run my bikes in hard... never had a problem. And change your oil after its broken in.

 

[coolmodee01]

good luck with the flebay bike you'll get a couple of good rides in before you start breaking parts
as for the run in ride it hard but dont hit the rev limiter short change it but dont let ot labor to much
but it should only take a genuine 1-2hrs riding then you should be right
then put 3 tanks through it and go and get the valve clearances done
the motor will go for ages if you look after it but the bike will fall apart around it

have fun you will enjoy the little wheels ha

[crazzy #1]

[Franky]

And what glaze the bore so it burns oil? Not very smart crazzy#1. its vital you run it in. Dipshit.

 

[ethan125cc]

yeah my bike is the exact same and i've had no probs and i love it!. don't listen to these guys who tell you not to get one.

 

[C-TOWN_MINI-MULISHA]

welcome to mini riders
all i can say is if you want that bike to last dont jump it (those forks dont look 2 crash hot ) but as it was said before you can always upgrade.
foot pegs & mounts and some quality usd forks would be the first thing i would look into gettin if i owned that bike... just remember its no kx
congrats but mini bikes are a lifestyle dude

p.s LOCTITE IS A CHINESE BIKES BEST FRIEND (GO WILD LOCTITE EVERY NUT & BOLT ) BEFORE YOU RIDE IT
