I guess I'm a china rider again

[Wild_Alaskan]

Just picked up a rocketa 110 for $120 today. Going to be swapping an lifan 125 engine i have laying around in to it soon since I am pretty sure this one is based off of the crf50. Ill get some pictures tomorrow.

[SpudRider]

Good for you! :tup:

[katoranger]

You back to Montana now? The engine should be an easy swap for you.

[FastDoc]

He could probably do it over dinner and a beer.

[Wild_Alaskan]

yep back in montana

Is it a pit bike? What size are the wheels?

[Wild_Alaskan]

yeah its a pit bike, not sure but I would guess the wheels are 10"

[FastDoc]

You will have a lot of fun running around on that.

[Wild_Alaskan]

Here are some pictures, I belive I have this model of bike

mine has a 12" 10" tire setup though.

I got the lifan engine mostly installed but somehow misplaced my new carburetor, hopefully i can finish tomorrow.

That puppy should move with a 125cc engine in it. ;) We eagerly await additional photos. :)

[Wild_Alaskan]

Finished up the motor install today, It not running perfectly yet but moves right along for a pit bike. Going to work on the jetting soon.

Needed to make a little bit of clearance for the carburetor, otherwise the transition was really smooth

Nice work! :tup: How did you cut the cooling fins?

[Wild_Alaskan]

i was going to grind them down with my angle grinder but it was in storage so i ended up using a chisel instead, actually came out really good

[katoranger]

The Chinese would have used the same tools at the factory.

[Wild_Alaskan]

Fixed my poor running today, I replaced the wiring harness with the one that came with the motor, the other one must have had a short which explains why both motors initially had the same running issues.

:lol:

Indeed, it did turn out nice. :)

[Wild_Alaskan]

Had my first damages for this bike, the rear shock broke in half when i took a little jump at the Saint Anthony sand dunes. Also the rear tire popped and the chain flew through the case and damaged the stator I'm guessing since it no longer runs. pictures to come tomorrow.

[SpudRider]

I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your bike. :ohno: I travel to Rexburg every so often, but I have never been to the Saint Anthony Sand Dunes. I need to get over there! :)

[Weldangrind]

I hope you got that on video!

At least the parts are cheap. Are you ok?

[Wild_Alaskan]

No video and no injuries, i was only 6 inches off the ground. My helmet cam had run out of space from riding my 380.

pickup jb welded back on

Good new is i think i have the same type of shock from when i built the 400cc lifan sitting in alaska, I will have to have my dad send it here. it is a nice dnm version with a reservoir.

LOL!

It takes cajones to take a chisel to an engine but you know what you are doing!

[FastDoc]

That's like a kid breaking his Christmas present on December 26th!

[zingshoen]

interesting thread, wild alaskan. once a chinarider...

pit bikes are fun and will buy one if i see it for cheap. until that happens i ll learn from you some preventative maintenance coz probably many components are crap and the bikes are meant for riders who weigh 50 kilos or so.

[katoranger]

I got one that had a broken pickup like that. Sold it to another member here. I think that I jb welded it together too.

[FastDoc]

I think the pitbikes tend to be pretty well made for what they are.

[FastDoc]

One of my patients is a smaller gal with a Pitster Pro 160 dualsport and she rides it everywhere. She also has a Ninja 250.

Needless to say, a great gal :-)

[Wild_Alaskan]

The bike has been resurected total parts cost of about $50 I have a new case cover and my old 400cc lifan shock installed. Have a chain guide for the back sprocket to make sure the chain can never fall off again and a new roller for my chain tensioner in the mail.

It has a little more ground clearance now and dampening action. Its a lot of fun in the snow!

[Weldangrind]

We need video!

[SpudRider]

X2! :tup:

[Wild_Alaskan]

I've got a short video of a friend riding for you guys.

[SpudRider]

I'm guessing he didn't have Kold Kutters installed in his tires. ;)

[FastDoc]

Not yet at any rate ;-)
