Title: Pit bikes, who's got one?
Post by: Bellend on 18 October 2011, 18:10: Been given a Zongshen thing. 110cc.

Goes well, had to sort the brakes and a fuel hose. Fairings cracked so will get replacements, going to start painting it all up.

Seems to clunk into gear so don't think the clutch is fully disengauging. Seems to like wheelying up in second up my wet grass hill of a garden though. :evil:

Anyone put a different exhaust on one?

This one will do me for now. :smiley:

Removing loads of random matte black paint overspray. I think the previous owner took a can to the frame in situ haha. Polished up the exhaust, started without the exhaust and was popping flames which gave me ideas it shouldn't. :evil:

Dislike the induction noise, is this cause of the cheapo cone filter on it? Or do they all sound like it?

Taken the rear swing arm off and will Hammerite it white I think. :smiley:

Post by: Dave_IOW on 18 October 2011, 23:25: They all pretty much make a loud sucking noise I think...

Id still have mine if I had somewhere to ride it :(

:cry:

Dunno what happened really, just seemed to rev up. Might have been the brake cleaner I was using prior. Instead of trying to correct myself I just bailed and leant to the left rather then going straight through my fence at quite a bit of speed. Think I've bent the handlebars though. :cry:
