Thanks guys, I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Any ideas on brand or is the pic even too grainy for the trained eye of all the experts here?

I'm looking at purchasing a bike from gumtree but the description is very vague and the owner can't tell me any thing other than it's a 125, it runs and the brakes work and has no obvious broken bits. The photo is grainy but i was hoping somebody could tell me if it is not worth touching or go...

Thanks heaps. I had wondered if there was a solution like taping the inside but I thought it would only come unstuck. 4s may be the problem but now that I've seen what the car can do on 4s I don't think I could go back to 3s. Plus the motor is only rated at 2200kv so I'm not producing really...

Thanks for the responses. The main problem is on 4s or more the tyres balloon really bad and at full speed decide to turn into shrapnel. I did want to get proline big joes but was too scared because I've had 1 new chinese tue burst after about 2 seconds. I think I'd cry if brand new big joes did...

I have a dhk 1/8 monster truck that keeps exploding tyres. I've been replacing them with the standard ones due to them being cheap and I don't want to spend a fortune on better tyres if the problem is gong to persist. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with prolines or other good...

I'll swap you for a big kite. Lol. Not quite a hang glider but if the wind is up you can go flying with it. Have you got a rough dollar value in mind?

Wanted: I am chasing a pit bike 125 or larger. Condition: Would like it to be in running order and all parts there. Price range: As trade, I have a 5 meter power kite and harness suitable for land sports such as boarding or buggying, or stand and fly (more like hang on and go for a ride). I am...

I have just bought a bike and was told that all it needs is a new ring and the topened is all sweet other than worn ring. After taking the top end apart I have found that it needs new topend completely. Power valve is missing, piston is shagged and bore has a big chunk missing so now I am...

Off Road Buggy Project for Sale ITEM AND CONDITION: Offroad buggy 600cc. Unfinished project. Single seat buggy frame with Yamaha XJ600 motor. Frame has been modified to make stronger and accommodate larger engine. Requires some welding to finish mounting engine and rear axle...

I would be leaning toward the stator or coil breaking down under load and giving weak spark. With the extra fuel that the choke being on will supply you will only need a weaker spark to ignite it and therefore bike will run with choke on. Does the bike backfire when free revved in neutral...

I have a BSE twin spar 125 that i use for bashing round the back paddock and have not had any major trouble with it yet but was wondering if it's worth spending money and time on. Or would i be better off selling and buying something else?

When he showed me his idea before getting a patent on it I couldn't believe that no one else had thought of them before.

Not sure if anyone has seen these but a mate of mine from Bundy has come up with them and i thought it was a great idea. He hasn't made them to suit pit bikes yet' but I've seen the amount of mods some do to their bikes so thought the idea of changin peg mounts to suit wouldn't bother some...

The carb that comes standard on the pocket quads is ****e at best. You may be able to get it running with the carb that is on it but it will only give you problems again. Replacing it with a 14mm delorto replica and adaptor is your best option if you are looking for reliability and a little...

Just had exactly the same problem with mine. First thing i did was clean and check the carb settings. No change. Second i changed the plug. No change Third i replaced the coil and cdi. No change Fourth i checked valve clearances. No change Fifth i fitted a new inner rotor kit and molkt...
