The complete opposite to a pitbike genius

[Sammy_J]

alrighty, well against all odds i went out and bought a atomik nitrous 140cc... in fact i bought 2! one for me mate. Was a little worried about some of the comments people had made on ebay and wasnt sure but i went with it anyway. Paid for them and within about 4 working days they were at my door. Good postage time, good packing, all due care taken. Put the bike together (was about 80% complete) needed a few little fix ups like brakes and spend ages locktighting all the bolts, but nothing someone with a little knowledge couldnt do. Started it, no problems...tuned it up and then let it sit there for a good hour just idling gave it abit of a ride around the back yard slowly. All up did about 3 hours of soft cruising. Took it up the bush ride it around all day getting used to it as im new...went home changed the oil and the weekend after gave it a huge raping. Top gear top speed, small jumps (real small to scared for big ones lol). And not a worry in the world. Kept bumping the off switch but nothing major.

So all in all i think its a dam good bike, some may disagree and say it wont last long but we will see. My mates is the same. So my theory is if u run it in right there shouldnt really be a problem. For arguments sake i got it delivered to brisbane from melbourne and with insurance it cost me total 750$.

too bad you didn't right it right then lol, you let it sit idling for an hour who told you to do that? did you do any research to find out how to run in a bike?

well anyway good luck with it, keep us up to date

well i didnt really see the problem with it, i kept checking the temperature of it to make sure it wasnt heating up to much due to lack of air flow but it seemed a pretty constant running temperature...nobody told me how to do it. I just did it.

edit: by running it in right i mean not getting it going then flogging the piss outta it....

idling for long periods is no good for any bike and specially a brand new one...
about the most you want to let idle for is the amount of time it takes to tune the mixture screw.
then ride it normally but dont flog it, give it some good torque riding not rev riding...
once run in then drop the oil and set the valve clearances and then you can start to ride it any way you want to. but still dont hold it flat out for long periods of time...

 

[Sammy_J]

advice taken....bit late tho lol...any advice on setting the valve clearances?

I think this is the best video showing how to do it: YouTube - How to check valve timin on Honda 50 70 cc motors

here's a guide made by one of our members: http://www.miniriders.com.au/motor-tutorials/24965-how-set-valve-clearances-horizontal-engines.html

another good one: QingQi (Qlink) 200GY Illustrated Valve Adjustment - MyChinaMoto

after looking at all those guides you should have a pretty good idea of what you need to do, good luck
