Hey dark, that is a really nice clean build mate, i love the height and the parts used, i cant see anything on your bike that shouldnt belong there. Its one of the better yamoto pittys i have seen on here. :applaudit:
If the bike was mine i would do a couple of things(just my opinion mate), Id be running a fuel filter for sure, i the other day pulled the rear cup off my muffler(same as yours) and removed the centre cone section from the tip of the muffler, inside there is 2 screws and it just comes straight off, i got a great deep note from the muffler and more bottom end power from breathing easier, and last the oil cooler lines are prone to melting and they can be hard to route due to length and rigidty, this link shows how i do it and i have never had one come off or leak and they will never melt,http://www.miniriders.com/chinese-minis/35664-2012-160ho-vert-6.html , But once again thats just my opinion and if you leave it without doing any of these your bike is still a really great build and thanks for posting the pics mate , and i love the fact you still have the yamoto seat on the bike.

Looks the business with some nice upgrades. Visually I'd put a larger front fender on it as for some reason it looks too small. Might be just me? But looking sweet

Thanks for the input guys, will def look into what you said rotn cheers! Looking to get the Gpx motor in next week so ill keep u guys posted!

 

[DarkRayne]

hey rotn i got busy already doing those mods you said would make my bike better, iv taken that cup off my exhaust and its made my bike abit more responsive, particularly in the lower revs like you said. It also sounds better and looks great. I have ordered a fuel filter to.



Was wondering also if you could tell me if this would fit my pit bike?

That cooler kit would be a great mod on your engine mate,

This is on my 160yx motard and works very well and does its job great, This is the same cooler but i think it has more rows than the cooler you mentioned, all in all that cooler will be really good, the solid cooler you are now running is straight in and straight out i believe were the cooler in mention has actual rows for cooling like a transmission cooler on a car, you may need to mod a bracket to mount it to but is well worth the coin spent and will help with the longevity of your engine. One thing though im pretty sure the GPX cooler lines will run to the crankcase and not the head so you will only need a cooler and oil line and not the heat sync for the head.

 

[DarkRayne]

your bike looks sick man, love the position of your cooler!

ok you have sold me on it, ill get one for my gpx motor. cheers

The link above is thru china and will take the same time to arrive from the states, this cooler has more rows than the tbolt one also, this is the exact cooler the 2 motards run and work the best i have seen a china cooler work, cheers dude

the blue one has a china yx150 4 valve motor and the red is a yx 160 2 valve and both run identical times. See if the link to photobucket allows you to look thru my account there is quite a bit of other stuff also.

 

[DarkRayne]

Very cool man, wish I was as mechanically minded as you. Alright we'll that's the best option considering its a third of the price as the piranha one. I'll just have to get the rubber lines hooked up and will be good to go. Cheers man!
