Indeed, it did turn out nice.

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.

I'm sorry to hear about the damage to your bike.

I travel to Rexburg every so often, but I have never been to the Saint Anthony Sand Dunes. I need to get over there!

I hope you got that on video!

At least the parts are cheap. Are you ok?

Wild_Alaskan · 11-25-2013, 04:09 PM

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!

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

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 · 11-28-2013, 09:20 AM

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 · 11-28-2013, 01:54 PM

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

FastDoc · 11-28-2013, 01:55 PM

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 · 12-15-2013, 01:06 PM

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!

We need video!
