$150 Worn Out Pit Bike | Will it Run?

We got our hands on a cheap pit bike! This 2010 model 72cc pit bike is pretty beat- especially for its age. Ike bought it about a year ago for $150, and today we’re reviving it and making it run in preparation for Mini Mayhem Fall 2019! This little dirt bike didn’t need much- we cleaned the carburetor, upsized the carb jet, installed a freer flowing exhaust, bled the brakes, and that’s it! It’s pretty quick for 72ccs!

They teach you how to go down if you ever advanced classes. The deadly crashes are from when the rider comes to a dead stop, instantly. A car pulling out going left. Or when the rider get creamed from behind. I've personally been through all of them and I would pick the high speed low side any day. Just a personal preference. I've ate shit a few times lol.

What's a Pitbike? Pitbikes were originally used in the Pits of racing paddocks. Drivers and team members would use them to run around the pits fetching stuff. Tiny bikes. The original pit bikes were like Taco mini bikes. Then in the 80s the little mini sportbikes came out to mimic the sportbikes on the track, with the most sought after the Honda NSR50 and Yamaha YSR50 pit bikes that were street legal...mega cool! I love the weird Honda MB5.

I never had a pit bike, but I had a salvage yard built Honda XL75. From my experience with that I would say you need bigger wheels, like a few inches bigger in the rear, and as big as you can fit under the fender in the front. Wide rear tire and medium width front should do the trick for that bike. You won't be able to fit a wide enough tire for sand so it'll never be great there, but on the trails it will be an absolute blast.

So friggen happy to see a pitty on this channel, ive got a lil 110cc and its hilarious fun. Unfortunately fellas by the time youve built/fabricated a new rear swing arm, forks and wheels you might as well have bought a better bike. If you can get fatter tires itll help but youll lose tonnes of punch from that lil motor. But the usual go to's (in aus at least) -Getting just an all round bigger carb with bigger intake/jets I run an oversized carb with an undersized idle jet. I recommend a foam air filter -Wider bars for stability. -Lights are fun -Bashplate for the engine -stubby holder Maybe you could get creative and extand the rear swingarm? Just thoughts!

Cool pit bike ,on mine I replaced the wheels from 10 inch to 12 ,you might be able to get away with 14 inch if you have a long enough swing arm ,pretty sure mine came with tubes and tyres DO NOT USE A FUEL FILTER it made mine run quite lumpy as it messes with the gravity feed,I made a modification to the air filter out of wide radiator hose to tuck it under the seat out the way so it didn’t get drenched and sand covered,might need to redial the carb back in if you do this,better quality oil in the front shocks,jet replacement,slightly bigger back sprocket ,front sprocket ,better chain,General service too,just as a side note mine was a Chinese pit bike and it killed spark plugs on occasion so make sure you have a couple of spares kicking about your person so it does not ruin your day out ,hope it helps👍
