Dirt Bike FAQ

Go to BBRMOTORSPORTS.COM and get a Powroll Thrust Chamber and you will get the performance of a aftermarket exhaust without spending 300 bones. Then get a rev box. It will let your motor rev past the stock limit witch will give you more hp. That is a good hp gain for under a 100 bones.

If you want to spend a little more money you can have the flywheel lightened at BBR for a hundred bucks. This will let you motor rev like a 2-stroke and make it pick up RPM's fast. If you do alot of wide open riding, this is the thing to do. "This will take away some of your bottom end."

If you still want more than get a big bore kit. If you do go with the big bore kit thin you will need to go with 26mm carb. The stock carb was not made to handle a bigger bore than stock.
P.S.- It is better to buy a complete kit than have the stock cyl. bore. Watch e-bay for these items and do not buy a china knock-off.

You dont want a mini moto mate, there chinese rubbish and break to much. either get a good brand of pitbike (terra-moto,thumpstar) or if its to rome the streets get a second hand chinese pitbike for around £200 (check your newspaper) my very first mini moto cost £175!!! which when i think now is a total rip off considering i got a genuine thumpstar for £250.

Save up ur $, man up, and buy a chopper

If your going to get a street bike, get a real BMX bike. Norco makes some really good bike, but good street bikes can come cheaper and better if its street your looking for. If so, get a diamondBack Accoplice or joker. If its mountains your wanting, get a norco trails hardtail. you can use it on trails and dirt if you want. But BMX bikes are better for street.

There are simple hour meters that can be installed on dirt bikes by merely wrapping a wire around the spark plug wire that tracks the firing of the spark. I install these types of meters on all my bikes before they leave the shop (when purchased new) or installed upon picking up (when I buy used).

these usually record to the tenth hour and are relatively inexpensive.

"craigslist" BOOOO!!!!!!

1st what type of dirt riding? You thinking XC, DH, FR? What's you budget?

Hi,

Strip the carb bowl off, remove the float assembly

where centre bolt attached bowl, inside that tube is the jet and emulsion tube

Carefully unscrew this jet and clean with compressed air or if your lucky your breath ??

Muck in the carb…. but they are not the best quality

I have bought several none runners off ebay and everyone its been a quick fix …. dirty carb

Try and put a small inline filter within the line …. I modified them with a longer hose to adapt them and had no problem

If the carbs mullered….. you can buy them off ebay for £11 + delivery

Oh….. have you checked the reed valve after the carb… ? sometimes these break or dont seal correctly ??

This might be the fault you have…. due to choke ??

That is a really good bike but I would not suggest getting a brand new bike for your first one. I have been riding for a while and have learned there are two kinds of riders, the ones that have crashed and the ones that are going to. I would suggest getting one that is a few years old just because you will go down at least once and most likely the first time it is on your first bike.

I like, in order:

KTM has the best suspension, lightest weight, most options and the most power. It is the most expensive and parts can be hard to get. The suspension is great but fussy to adjust.

The Yamaha is great for both racing and trail riding. YZF is better for racing and the WR for trails.

The Suzuki and Kawasaki are about the same and are good for both and they have very tough motors.

The Honda has great suspension and is easy to ride fast but the motors wont last the longest.

BTW, Cycle News sucks and I wouldn't put much trust in what they say. They mostly do street bikes anyway.
