You can see in this site >>>>http://astore.amazon.com/saleandmark-20
I am looking for a CHEAP dirt bike no more than £500, i dont want a full size one as i am 5ft 9, it would be too big. Can anyone give me a suitable size, make and cc bike?
I would go 2 a well know store because my coisin bought 1 from a non well known store it didnt run rite and he lost control and died
I'm 6'5" 200lbs and interested in getting into riding. What kind of bike should i look for? Not trying to get anything fancy, just a cheap beginners bike that i will actually fit on.
Take a close look at the Yamaha’s. Say 250cc. Has plenty of power. Plus extremely rugged and reliable. My son-in-law is about the same build as you-his fits him very well.
Im looking for a used 125cc dirt bike and some cheap gear so if you know how much a used 125cc is plz tell me. The person that gives me the like to get some cheap gear gets 10 points
Andrew as I have said before you really need to check in your own area as we don't know where you live and things do differ.
So look it up yourself on craiglist and in classifieds and on local club websites as then you get the correct information. Even some local dealerships sell used bikes
I want a good cheap reliable dirt bike for riding in the woods. has to be under1000. new or used
Well, being that your 5' 6". I'd go with a 4 stroke 250. A Honda CRF250X would be a good bike. Is basically MX bike with headlight. Very nice.
Dont use the fish tank gravel, yes it will knock the rust loose but getting all of the gravel out after you are finished will be next to impossible, the filler neck on the tanks have a lip that goes down into the tank to help keep the fuel from splashing up on the filler cap which makes taking it back out of the filler neck very difficult, any small "items" that you put into the tank also have a tendancy to get wedged into the seams inside the tank.
If you only have a light rust inside the tank I would go stright to the muric acid to remove it (Works toilet bowl cleaner is muric acid and works great, hay don't laugh, its cheep and easy to find) If you have a heavy rust issue, get a string and run it threw 20-30 small nuts and washers and tie the ends off so the nuts and washers have room to slide around. Plug off any openings in the tank and put it inside the clothes dryer like mentioned above. After mine tumbled for an hour or so I turned the tank around so it would be turning in the oppisit dirrection and did it again.
Once your done tumbling it you can remove the nuts and washer, real easy now since there all tied togeath, and then rince with water, now use the muric acid and you will be all set to go.
Now after you have done all of this and have spent less then $2 your tank is going to start to rust even before you get it back one the bike, it would be very advisible to spend a few bucks and get a tank sealer, Kreem or Por-15 are the most popular, and finish it up right. Preperation is very important when your using these tank sealers and if you don't prep the tank properly the sealer will flake off inside the tank after a couple of years and start to raise all kinds of problems. I did the above and used Kreem (which is known to peal off more easly then the Por-15) but after 4 years I don't have any problems what so ever because I took the extra time and preped it properly.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I been working on engines for a while?I just got the dirt 3 days ago.But i was going to take a look at the ignition coil but i thank i might mess with the wrong thang.so help me if you can.is it somethang in my engine.
–It could be a bad pulse coil. It's at the flywheel and acts like a set of points. It sends a signal to the CDI. The pulse coil could be bad or unpluged.
–Could be a bad CDI box.
–Could be a bad kill switch. Always in the off position. Dirt bike kill switches are cheap and easily damaged in a fall. Try unpluging it (it's a grounding switch).
–Could be a bad ignition coil. Easily tested with a multi-meter.
–John B gave a good answer about the spark plug cap not making a good connection. Unscrew it from the wire. Cut 1/4" off the end of the wire and screw it back on.
–Could be a bad spark plug cap. Pull one off your car or lawn mower and try that one.
–Buy a shop manual to learn all the tests to perform and the specs each test should give.

I found a 2-stroke engine for like 0$. What other things do i need to build a fast mini motorcyclr for under 200$ Thanks a lot!!! Or give me a link to a site that tells how to do this.
Try finding a cheap used dirtbike or buy a minibike kit.
I know this my sound un safe but I never ride with ptotection gear except a helment since I have never gotten hurt. If I plan on riding at different places should I buy some like a chest protecter and boots? And how much would it cost.
Definitely buy the chest protector and boots at very minimum! And start wearing them now! I used to ride with sturdy work boots, and ended up limping for two weeks. A simple tip-over crash resulted in a footpeg nearly going through my leg.
Look on websites like www.denniskirk.com in the closeout section. I once found boots for 27 dollars. Normally they will cost you about 150 dollars. A chest protector will normally cost about 80-120 dollars.
This is only a fraction of the cost it would take to repair broken ankles. Or the funeral cost from having a stick go through your chest. These sorts of accidents happen very quickly!
Even with full gear, you can still get hurt, but the chances are FAR lower.
Last week, I was racing, and wearing full gear: chest protector, helmet, goggles, good motocross boots, gloves, racing pants, and jersey. I ended up with a very bad concussion, and broken collarbone. If I had been wearing one more piece of equipment (a "neck roll") I wouldn't have broken my collar bone.
If there are races around your area. Take a walk through the pit section. Many times, racers will be selling their used gear for very cheap prices!
