Is it worth it?

[pitbulls]

i got major probs with second gear on an atomik agb21(Ducar 125cc).All i wanna know is if it is worth pulling the cases apart and trying to fix,or is it just easier to buy a new motor. Im not that mechanically inept but can figure most things out and am willing to try. Motor has only done 10-15 hrs at most(mainly ridden in anger around moto-x track but).

Another possibility is buyin another bike,but dont wanna spend 75% of my riding time fixing the damn thing. Budget is only $1000 but have most upgrades already on the agb...ie.....shocks,bars etc....There has been a few second-hand moto-verts avail recently $800-$1500 but am sceptical bout secondhand china's(brand new are **** so....). A mate has a secondhand XR400 going cheap but iv fallen in love with mini's(any bike you can put in the back of a Gaewoo or Pajero is good)


BTW I'm in Cairns so any bike automatically comes with $225 added on for postage.Any comments from any1 (except Pascal125) will be appreciated
Cheers
Hope you all enjoyed a good weekend riding

if there is nothing else wrong with your bike then try fix your engine and worse case scenario you stuff it up just buy a new engine but if your bike has really bad problems engine and other stuff than buy a new bike.

ATM it seems i fix 1 thing do a few laps then something else breaks. I only paid $450 for the bike+$225 postage so i didnt expect too much. If i fix 2nd gear is 1st or 3rd gunna be next? i heard most ducars have gearbox probs.

if i was you i would buy a pitpro or mso x6r and took all your good mods off your 21 than you would have a good bike.

Thanx Daniel.Mso is high up on my list with Dhz,pitpro and Elstars.

all i done is take the motor off the bike. I started to split the cases but a mate come round so beers started flowing. Personally i dont think im gunna bother with the gearbox. $400 for 140cc motor or $1100 for 140cc bike. I think im gunna go for somefin with a lifan 140. Sorry cant help ya. I have read that others have fixed probs with gearbox. usually gear selector i believe. good luck. please post pics if u do have a crack at it
