Hey thanks for the compliments Crazy Carl, it is appreciated. You obviuosly understand knuckle-busting work when you see it . Thank you very much indeed .
And yes , it would be nice to have that job, but like any job it would involve money and time constraints and ruin my fun . But it is a novel idea or dream to have at least ? I do this stuff for the love of the motorcycle , and I do it for free for my friends . If I charged money I would hate it .
As far as the 125cc Pit-Bike mods, after the performance CDI units were installed and the big fat-pipes installed , it increased horsepower and grunt from the low-end incredibly . Plus no rev limits is nice too , it has nice powerband top-end speed too. Nice rev curve indeed now. When I went with the 24mm Mikuni and 24mm intake manifold on the Red bike, it now flat out screams :biggrin: It has the nicest one kick start with that carb and very smooth acceleration once I got it tuned in . The carb increased the horsepower greatly too . It is squirrely fast .The little Lifan race motors are fast anyway, but any mod just makes them shine more. I equalled my mods to the motor with my frames and suspension so I don't ripp apart the rest of the bike with some badd-ass motor only , to have the rest of the bike fall apart around me. That is the key to building bikes, equal motor, equal platform . Thats a winner !
I also run Dunlops on the red one to try to keep it on the ground . TRY !!!
I went with a 25mm carb on the black bike and 25mm intake too, so you can just imagine that little increase ? It is my Stealth Black Death machine, scarey fast indeed . I just wrecked the red one ( no damge , its built stout )
the other day riding a power wheelie out of my front yard drainage culvert shifting from first to second gear . I came out of the culvert kinda sidways and the the bike spun around 180* underneath me full throttle of course, me landing on top of the bike, my boot and knee under the bike. Ouch . This thing is so fast it happened in a split second. I am 200 pounds and 6' tall . That is why I say they are squirrely fast . I have great respect , not fear of these bikes, but you got to be paying attention , and I wasn't LOL !
I haven't had one lick of problems with those motors either, they are dialed in right from the factory very well. They are race ready as is. I just made them lethall is all . Obviously the Mikuni is a no brainer too, hardly any adjsutment to the air fuel mixture and no slide adjsutment was needed on either . Those I got from ECROX and they treat me well there . Needless to say after spending several thousand dollars on parts, the treat me like a King .
Ok Crazy Carl, now I really got to go to bed, will chat later, thanks again ,
Snortin Norton out
