My 2013 skyteam flashback z50 clone - Page 2

Why not throw the engine in one of the Jinchengs? I don't think they are worth anything as a collector's item, and like you said, both your Skyteams run fine in 125 form, so why not hotrod one of the weak links to your collection--one of the Jinchengs?

I have thought about that but a few things conflict.
The frame length is shorter so the head may hit the tire when the forks compress.
It's better to use a smaller engine for length purposes as I don't want to upgrade the pandas suspension at this time or even ever since I have the others.

I do have a semi auto lifan 125cc engine to swap into one of the pandas. i also have a semi auto 4spd 50cc with an e22 head that rips for a 50cc & a manual 4 spd 110cc.

Did a mph GPS test with my phone.
Darn site won't let me upload from my phone a screen shot.
Against the light wind we had it was 58mph.
With the wind it was 60mph.
I need to put my rpm gauge on the engine also to see what rpms I am turning the 125
The 17/29 might be too much gear for top speed as the 125 might not have enough in it.
The 15/29 gearing got me the same or close to same mph per the gauge.
I should try a 16/29 but I don't do a lot of top speed runs all the time.
17/29 does keep,the rpms low through out the entire rpm range.
Also the speedometer gauge said about 65mph on it, but at the angle we ride it may be higher and I'd rather look forward than down most of the time.
Either way I'm happy with 60mph.... For now... Haha

Now I need to swap in the 150 engine and add/buy a bigger carb.
May also upgrade the exhaust to the side like a big bike.

Thanks

I will post up when I start the swap.
I honestly do not know when I'll start it but maybe soon... I hope.

I also GPS the red panda with everything stock except the exhaust it did 34mph.
It may go 35 mph or maybe a little more but I ran out of room on the residential streets.
The big gun exhaust sounds deep and throaty.

I'll be watching for that!
