Was not aware the bikes came stock with 15 front, not 17 so a 17 is the first thingQuote:

I say going from 15 to 17 is the only thing.:lol8:Quote:

Top speed of 110 cc hack is 45 MPH GPS with a cruise of 35 without over revving the engine.
Barnone, what is the rear gear on your 110 z50? Is it 37?
Is 45 mph the fastest it will go without the side cart or with?
Is your engine semi auto or manual & a 4 speed?
Reason I ask is that I have a 110 engine manual clutch 4 speed I may put in the jenching panda.
It'll give me an idea what it will do as I have a 37 rear gear & 8" tires.
I wish the 110 engine i have was semi auto.
But I got it cheap brand New Years back so I can't complain

All speeds are with the sidecar attached. Hard to get a level and straight run in the mountains (3000' elevation) but I saw 45 MPH on the GPS, maybe had a little more but I was winding the hell out of it and ran out of road.
Four speed semi auto which I like.
I did go to 4.00-8 over the 3.50-8 tires on the front and rear but not on the sidecar.

I didn't have room to haul the monkey bikes to Florida where I spend the winter. Our middle daughter in Blacksburg VA is due to have a new grandson in late December so I might stop by Robbinsvile NC on the way home and bring a few monkeys to FL.
Have been a bit bored this last week, have been told not to go to work by the hospital doctor. So have been fiddling out in the garage and have constructed a home made baffle for my excessively noisy straight through exhaust. Just fitted it and ran the Lifan up to opetating temperature. It definetly sounds quieter, just a matter of whether or not it slows or speeds up the bike at all? I quite like the look of the straight through pipe too, just need some sort of chrome tip to finish off the end of the exhaust.
The doctor telling you not to go to work gets frustrating! I learned that with my forced 4 week vacation!! I would be interested to read how much it improves your speed, if at all. I figure, if you hit the same top speed, but quieter, it would be a win-win :clap:
My last run was with the standard exhaust so it will interesting with the new one. If there is no improvement i can change it back.
I like that blue, bike looks good
Thanks Blackdeath. Depending on the light conditions it looks either blue or purple. It has a pink metalflake in the lacquer coat.
That straight pipe can't be making you friends in your neighborhood. lol I've run mine briefly w/o the muffler and it was pretty unpleasant.Quote:

Yes its pretty loud, tried it previously fully open, thats why i made up a baffle for it. It sounds quieter now but with my arm in a cast i havent had the chance to road test it yet.
Thanks, order two black ones to try on my monkeys.Quote:

My local monkey/pit bike shop sells these for about £10 but i kind of like the look if the short smooth pipe. Quite like the low slung exhaust that was on the early CTs too.Quote:

trexuk,
Good news but take it easy for a bit.:lol8:
This is exactly what the doctor told you, right? :naughty: :mwink:Quote:

Merry Christmas guys.
Merry Christmas back to you! Glad to read you are back riding!!
Decided to go out for a bit of a run this afternoon, the weather was dry and skies clear but it was only about 5˚ C, it certainly felt colder riding along. Had 4 layers on my legs and feet and i still felt cold. Did a round trip from home, about 10 miles in all. Was glad to get back TBH, think i need to invest in proper winter biking wear. The Lifan performed ok but was fignting a chilly head wind. Think i may suspend exhaust/speed testing till spring arrives. That or just fit a 125 engine, might be less hassle in the long run. Have seen a full engine kit on Ebay UK for around £240 delivered. Although the Daytona190 looks mighty attractive :-)
Sitting at home now next to the stove thinking about dinner and having to go back to work tomorrow.
If any of you do Facebook i have started a FB page specifically for Dax clones. Its titled: Dax CT70 ST70 Clones. Cheers Paul.
Please join, people! Great group!!Quote:

I've never owned a fool injected before either but am getting one next week.
