1st run report Well, just back from a great day at a mate's farm an hour north of melb. Spent the day paddock bashing, chasing cattle, some mild to roughish trails along the creek and general stuff in the mud and dirt. Chased the young bloke around on his quad, BBQ for lunch and a beer or...

Haven't had a lot of time so far to go riding, just a few quick rides. Nothing has fallen off or broken, it's looking OK. Goes very well, plenty of grunt for me atm. Hopefully I'll get away this weekend and give it a good workout. Oh, Squeeby, the thing cost me $1200. f

$500 would buy you a lot of time from an experienced mechanic / engineer who could sort out porting, machining work, etc and get a standard engine working harder and sweeter..

Penrite It's non-synthetic, but I swear by Penrite HPR-30. I've used it in all the bikes and cars I've ever owned, from a Kwaka z250, Ducati 650 Pantah and a 72 Alfa spider. It's working well in my young bloke's 110cc Chinese quad, which I think has the Lifan motor. (not sure, but it's...

Thanks heaps! I looked into all of the Chinese 250's and this one looked to be the best compromise for features and price. I'll sort out those mods when the crate arrives. When I've run in engines in the past, I've always made sure that I've varied throttle position and given it full...

G'day everyone, I've just purchased one of these 250 'moto-x' bikes, I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has any information or has owned one. Any tricks or things to look out for? thanks f

Hi everyone, This has probably been asked before. I've tried a search on the forums but didn't find an answer. The young bloke has a 110cc 'atv storm' quad, that has one of the honda-copy flat single 'postie bike' type of motor. The gearbox setup is an automatic one, just throttle on and...

Yea, funny about that. You would have thought that they would assemble at least one properly before the photo was taken! :p

HI there, On the hunt for a large quad so I can join the young bloke when we go out for him to burn around on his 110 quad. So, anyone seen / ridden any of these? eBay Australia: NEW ATOMIK VOLTAGE 250CC ATV QUAD DIRT BIKE 4 WHEELER (item 200110028622, end time 18-May-07 20:15:00 AEST)...

Sth Morang Took the young bloke down to Sth Morang Saturday before last. $35 for the day, and he had a blast. Got his quad back and spent a couple of hours cleaning and service. He had done a real number on it! Stretched the buggery out of the chain, loose front wheel bearing, loose rear...
