Picked up another bike today, thought i'd share

imroc · 05-03-2011, 11:14 PM

Just as i did with our tao tao atv's, i picked up a lil 110cc bike with very little knowledge of the brand. I've seen this bike running before & asked my friend if he'd sell it. Now that winters over, he folded and gave it to me for a .22lr savage. It was a good lil shooter, but i'll get another. Anyway, i he dropped it off & began working on it. Got it fired and adjusted pretty quick, but will be full servicing it soon. I tore all his stickers and the training wheels of and had a partial yamaha decal set from my kids PW50. I put on yama decals cuz i thawt it'd look good with em. Came out sharp & im dine for the night. If any of you have experience with this model, plz feel free to add suggestions. All comments welcome.

After (The chinese bike is with spokes, yama with white mags)

Sorry about all my typos, darned touch phones...

It really does look Yamaha blue; since it's a Honda clone, I hereby christen it the Yamahonda.

It looks to be a near direct crf50 copy. A decal set for one of those would be a new perfect fit.

Is it possible to mod this bike for taller tires?

Weldangrind · 05-05-2011, 12:42 AM

Not likely without swingarm mods. You might be able to stuff a 14" front wheel on without hitting the fender on suspension compression.

Kato is correct... It's a CRF50 copy.

You would need to change the forks & swing arm to put larger wheels on that bike. As that fork & swing arm are made they will only handle a 10" wheel.

The bike may have been manufactured by Maxtrade LLC (d/b/a Coolster.com).

With a swing arm mod, is there a manufactured arm avail or would i have to have it custom made?

While thinking about it a lil more, would a taller wheelset imply having wider wheels as well?

I'll check into the 14"

Thanks fellas. Do u have a direction to point me in for pricing?

The truth is you'd be further ahead by finding a bike with larger wheels. If you found a bike with a blown motor, it might be nearly free, then you could swap the engine over and have some spare parts.

Weld, thats an excellent idea! If i remember correctly, there was a chinese mx shop in a nearby town that had a fire & some of the guys bikes were recovered & stored outside. I might stop by and take a look to see if any are salvageable.
