My 2013 skyteam flashback z50 clone
My 2nd post here, I have a 2013 skyteam flashback 125 4 spd clutch.
When it was all stock, around 45 mph was top speed. What I found the issues were... Stock exhaust has a catalytic converter which chokes it. Stock carb is junk or was with mine as it isn't adjustable. I added a free flowing exhaust & a 22/24mm mikuni clone carb. It rips now and the speedometer says 65mph on flat ground. This is with stock 15/29 gearing & 3.50-8" tires. I put a 17 tooth front sprocket and still go 65mph with lower rpms on flat ground. I run out of room to see if it will go faster as the engine may not have enough power. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps536e7ba5.jpg |
I just bought the piranha 150 e start for it.
Why I don't know as its good with the 125 but we all love more power & torque. |
Wow! Plan on adding an oil cooler, as conventional wisdom indicates an oil cooler is wise above 140cc.
We're gonna need pics of the process! |
Yeah ill probably add one soon after I get it running good and then make sure the lighting output is working correctly. It can run without an oil cooler but for longevity an oil cooler is a must.

These guys have been getting some good power out of their bikes

Engine arrived I just don't know when I'll start working on it.
I also need to decide if I want to run a true mikuni vm 24 or 26 carb with it. 26 for more top end for sure Also change out the exhaust with a larger diameter one. |

Mind posting the site where you bought the 150? What size/make carb is on the 125? |
plug and play it should be other than the wiring. i just got to make sure which wire goes from engine harnes to body harness so it runs & charges the battery properly.
The engine will drop right into the bike and bolt up. I bought it from wholesale cycle but tbolt sells it also. It was on sale at $100 off so I bought it. The two websites below have all kinds of go fast parts for our bikes. http://wholesale-cycle.com/product/2...NGINE-E-Start/ http://tboltusa.com/store/piranha-15...is-p-2477.html The stock locin engine has that pos one that doesnt adjust much so i put a mikuni 22mm carb like this one. You can find it cheaper on eBay or other sites for around $35. They should all be the same http://wholesale-cycle.com/product/9...MM-CARBURETOR/ |
BD,

I will do that.
I just need to decide if I want to put it in this one or my other 2013 skyteam that's in black. I mean I love my maroon one and it runs perfect, so why mess up a good running bike. The black one is brand new and hasn't been started up yet. Just put together. I also have a few other 50s, two Jincheng panda fun riders 50cc 3 spds. Years 99 & 00 6volts. All titled in my name... I need to liquidate as I have too many mini bikes... I also have a few honda z50r bikes |
