newbie and his bike

[kosmoe]

hey guys...
i have just bought my self my first pitbike and have already had to do a rebuild and now need to replace the back wheel and tyre after 2 weeks of ownership ... i am now worried that the bike may need a little overhaul to make her a little more safer as ive heard rumors that atomik skimp a little on quality so was wondering if anyone could help me with a rundown on what any new owner should do to their bikes to make them more reliable and safer

Read through this:

Your going to be in need of help when you get your new bike so take a look at these threads (This is a basic thing to what you should do to your bike once you get it):

First thing you do to the engine is drop the shipping oil and put in some new stuff:
- Shell Advance 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-40, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto
- Castrol Activ 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-50, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto

Then check your valves... VERY IMPORTANT!!:

thats achully quite a good read

 

[kosmoe]

well as it stands now ive busted two back wheels and the gear box really isnt liking what im throwing at it and the suspension is way too soft i know its an ebay junker. and a whole lot more will go wrong down the track

so do i cut my losses and get like a cr125 or maybe, ive seen alot of these braap bikes getting around and for the price it makes me wonder if they r worth the money put down on them??

You weren't at frankston mx track tonight were you buy any chance?

You are better off getting a ciniworx if you are around that area. There more up to date and better prices! cxz175 (rrp 2500) for the kill over a braaap yf classic (rrp 4500).

Cinis have linkage and a 175cc motor. Braaap is a 150cc and no linkage Plus heard you can get the same bike braaap make from the USA for 1500 au dollars and shipping is 1000.. so 2500 from the usa. Ahh I'm gonna be in trouble for that

Your chain looks a little tight

Love them red wheels! Hopefully next time we are both riding franga I will have my braaap 88. It sorta looks like your bike had a baby and it's my 88 ha ha.
