Bike: PITSTER PRO XJR SS
Motor: Lifan 50cc, electric start, 4 speed (automatic clutch)
Drive: Chain obv, 420#
Braking system: Front and Rear drum brakes
Tyre/ Rim sizing: 2.50 - 10 inch
First of all id like to start of by saying the bike overall is a looker straight from the box! from getting it of the back of the ute to riding it around the workshop within the hour was very pleasing, very straight forward, i however am a machinery mechanic so as normal its just like Pre-Delivering a new machine.
Likes: The bike itself is what you would expect for $699, fairly basic although they have improved since my first chinese bike, i am very glad to say that it has a lifan not being bias loncin and the others are also good, personal preference is lifan.
Dislikes: Not so pleased with the suspension and brakes on the bike, however it does support 70kg well even though its designed for a smaller sized person. From new like i said the bakes were poor they are slowly wearing in so i am getting a little more performance out of them.
Problems: Nothing too major, the float levels were not set correctly i had a lot of overflow coming from the carby, it was also flooding itself and at times run like a complete dog, also very poorly made battery box cause it to basically fall apart, LHS foot peg snapped completely off, i got the foot peg wedged in the ground and it snapped clean off (shit metal)
Fixes: Stripped the carby main jet it was leaking air through threading, not sure if that was causing any spluttering but i sealed it up anyway, i corrected the float levels so it did leak fuel everywhere. This has seemed to cure the issues i was having, the battery box on the other hand had to be reinforced, it was held together with very little tack welds, i stripped the paint back and welded the length of each but up joint, i machined down a round length of steal to fit comfortably down the centre of the pipe and welded it back up.
Mods: as you may see in one photo of the carby, i removed the choke! very simple procedure there has been no major difference that i have picked up. (as seen below)
Overall: For a 50cc engine you cant expect it to go crazy fast, it does the job gets you up and going amazingly though i can keep up with a 10 year old on a Yamaha PW80, Also as mentioned it was only $700 so you cannot expect the world from it, you cant really complain because i scrape 6ft, i am 70kg and the bike wasnt designed for me but it still halls my arse around and its bloody fun.
Really struggling to add much more, for $700 it is sound and will keep your kids (big or small) out of the house, unlike a PS3
