NEWBIE SAYING HI FROM THE CENTRAL COAST NSW

[ROMPA]

hi guys this is my first post here and looks like a great forum with alot of tips.me and my misses just bought 2x 125cc thumpsters mines a thumpster usa with electric and kick start and has a TDR ducar generation 2 engine and is completely stock,my misses got the better end of the deal and ended up with an areas 125cc with the lifan engine,power pipe,alloy swing arm and alloy hanble bars and bigger carby.we r both looking at having sum fun with these bikes and upgrade bits if needed.
im looking at getting a few mods in the near future:
power pipe,26mm mikuni carby,kenda tyres front and rear,protaper handle bars and grips and a sticker kit

for my misses bike all she wants is protaper grips and different colour plastics and a sticker kit (hers is purple)

im hoping i can learn a bit about these bikes here and maybe a bit of advise on good places for cheap parts.cheers

Hi and Welcome to Miniriders.
You have come to the right place for info on your bikes. This site is full of info and very helpful people.
If you use the search option you can look at subjects previously covered and there is loads of info there on modifications.
As for buying parts we have a site sponsor section and we try to support them as much as possible as they are mostly local companys and give great after sales support.
I highly recommend the following 2 bussiness. The first is based in sydney and the 2nd is an internet based company located in the Hunter Valley so not to far from you.

Marshall Motorsports are looking at opening their 3rd store down the central coast soon too

Hey dude. Marshals are not a sponsor of miniriders from what I know. So unless they are no more marshals advertising bro.

put a rim lock on the bike to prevent flat tyres.

No worries sorry about that - thought miniriders was about one big family?

 

[my67xr]

it is one big family,
but there are companys that pay to sponsor this site, helping to offset the financial costs of running the site etc
to become a sponsor here, PM Motorman, he can send you all the details
the sponsors help with the technical questions on their products, advice etc, advertising rights, and have discount offers/specials
