billyxxx crf50 build

[billyxxx]

hi guys today i went and brought a 05 crf 50 off an old guy who had it for his grand kids, so happy with it i think i got a bargain i paid $1000, for it in pretty good condition.

so my plan is to race this in the stocker class, but its gonna be a slow build unfortunetly so hopfully may get a few races in this year . would like some input as to what mods to do and whats more important then others and where to buy them from, anyway heres some pictures thanx guys

when I very first came on the forum, I saw a lot of people going on about crf50's.. Made me wonder what is so good about them..

first I thought the frame, but people strengthen and upgrade them to sano, billetware and stuff, so it can't be that..

The suspension seems to get upgraded straight away aswell.. Can't be that.

The motor seems to get bored out to a 88cc most of the time so that can't be it..

I dunno what it is that people love about crf50's..

must just be the motor cases, because most of the time that's the only original honda thing on the bike when they are done.. .


nice bike by the way

If I were you I would first sort out the Controls and Suspension.

A lot of people are going on about them because they are a True Minibike! I own one and couldnt be happier

The Mods you Listed are NOT ALLOWED in Stock Class...Billy wants to race his CRF50 in Stock Class.

I love my CRF because I know it will last a lot longer than any other China Copy plus they are so easy to look after.

I guess its just a thing...without owning one its hard to understand?!

how big seat height are the crf50's anyway

A STOCK CRF50 Seat Height measures out to be 550mm. With a High Seat you can get about another 10m or so? I can let you know tomorrow if you really want to know the height haha!

dude your a fool! find me any china with 10" wheels a cradle swing arm and the small seat height of a crf, people buy crfs because thats what riding a 50 is! my crf50, has the suspesnion upgraded and the frame strengthened. it is still only 2" higher then the stock crf50.

the simple answer is I ride a crf50 because its the original mini, and I dont want to ride a mini that it more like a big bike, eg pitster etc,

the whole point of riding minis is to have fun on a kids bike, im 182cm tall and 100kg the bigger you are and the smaller the bike the more fun you will have
