thanks for that link but i had read that through last night, hehehehe

what is the diffrent from the linkage bikes to the normal tail bike? as in rideing feel and grip wise. are there easier to ride?

thanks again revmx

 

[revmx_89]

about the same to ride but you will get more grip feel better to ride

thanks again revmx for your input,
can i ask one more question, why would u choose the mx155z over the x4r?
and if i buy the mx155z where can i get sticker kit for them?

cheers

 

[revmx_89]

i cant see why any one would spend the extra money on the pitsterpro's for when you can get pretty much the same bike cheaper and sticker kit are a little bit hard to find for the ttr110 style bike but you can get custom one made to fit....... thays my 2 cents worth

 

[revmx_89]

have a look at this as well CXZ175 MINI

 

[oic20v]

do u know how much the cxz175 mini is?
cos i cant seem to find the price for them.

 

[revmx_89]

nah i dont you will have to send them a email

 

[krazed0451]

From memory they are somewhere around $2,300-2,400 but you might get something off as a MR member, best to give them a call... Bear in mind that you can get a RevMX175 for $2,299

if you buy the rev or cini watch the linkage bearings as they screw up pretty quick from what u have read, you need to grease them up before you ride it for the first time and then replace them with decent japanese bearings down the track, something to budget into your decision.

after hearing that about the bearings i think it could be something to look into about replacing them from the starts as it wont be such a mess and trying to take out broken bearings isnt fun at all!!

hmmm im yet to hear woggy mentioning it yet ?

 

[revmx_89]

hmmm im yet to hear woggy mentioning it yet ?

maybe woggy was smart and grease them first before he rode the bike

 

[fusedminis]

He might not have looked, although probably has and just hasnt told. Its a combination of no grease and crap chinese bearings that cause problems. Yes all bearings need lube but the chinese one just flog out quicker which is what I was trying to get at.

 

[oic20v]

How much are Japanese bearing for the linkage?
And where to get them?
