RIP CRF88RR motor
Yep, just when you thought one vehicle taken out before it's time was bad enough in one weekend, I managed to take two out before the finish line. Heck the fiddy didn't even make it to the start of the fiddy race. I smoked the motor on some bright idea to do the gap run in the daylight before the race instead of the nighttime like we normally do it. Stupid me, should of waited til after the race...
Already starting to order parts to get her back up to snuff. Probably going to put a 1 down 3 up tranmission in it instead of the 3 up it has. It will make it one tough cookie to beat.

Can you even get parts. I thought there was a ban on 50 parts and the sale of new 50cc bikes because the parts contain lead.

I think they got a stay on the ban while they appeal it. People are still selling parts.

Exactly. He shouldn't be able to get them...but some dealers are going under the law.

What parts do you need?
I have a 95cc motor that I am tired of rebuilding. It has the 1dn 3 up in it already. Beware: the chinese tranny's don't hold up too long to a 14hp motor. If you pay for shipping I'll send you what I have and you can probably end up with a bad-assed fiddy. |

It has the 95 kit though. I've got lots of goodies on it: BIG carb, Kitaco inner rotor, high flow oil pump, oil cooler, etc. It was a $2500 motor when it was built. The 1d, 3u tranny is a Chinese unit (I believe). I bought it fromt ATVguy? and it is nowhere near as sturdy as the Honda OEM stuff. Try to find a 4 speed from an ATC that will fit it. |
