New pitbike. need info

[jackinthebox]

hey all,
im new to this site and just got a tty 125.
i got it given to me, i no they arent the best but because i got it for free i was just wondering is it worth doing anything to it? like any minor adjustmesnt that arent to costy to help make it a better bike?
i got a 50 kicker in my back yard thats 2m high and pretty kicky that im keen to muck around on and try new things.
feedback would be appreciated as im very keen to get into pitbikes.

cheers.

careful landing that from a decent size jump not sure on the strength of the frame but it seems to be a common thing the leave out when making a cheaper bike.

dont want you to get hurt if it buckles - anyone can confirm for jackinthebox?

Yeah dude not sure how the suspension would hold up, Those things aren't meant for ramps Especilly 2 meter ramps, there farm bikes best for trails and smaller dirt jumps.

If you really want to hit your ramp, think about saving and get a second had yz 85. just a suggestion

damn i want a yz85 or a kx85..... they just seem so fun to have a 2 stroke midsize pit bike.... FUN

=(

yeah 2 strokes are wicked to ride but, they can get annoying after a while because there so noisey, good for pissing off the neighbors, but still fricken noisey, i prefer the stronger power of a big 4 banger, a little less hurtfull on your ears if you riding for long periods of time

yah... thats true i guess... cruising around in 4th gear in mid range on a 4 is nice and quiet... and cruises pretty quick quietly too... unfortunatly when i get my new pipe in a few days it will be loud as all hell after that LOL

dont forget the constant changing of plugs in a 2stroke

 

[Nuts 4 50s]

Yeah

Nothing beats a a quiet 4 stroke, but the acceleration of a 2 stroke is nuts. I want a bike that has a 2stroke and 4 stroke switch, 4 stroke for cruising and 2 stroke if your in the mood for lunacy haha

Cheers Jono

hahaha the could be fun with 2 diff fuel tanks or an oil injector to the fuel for the 2stroke part oh god there are so many reasons you cant do it hahaha
