Just seeing if anyone here likes fucking around with mini bikes?

[rockman96]

Lots of info on old mini bikes dot com. There is threads on the throttle linkage. The guys who remove the governor run the billet flywheels and con rods. I haven't run one of these engines myself but have a "hemi" version new in the box. I have an Evo project to finish before I get to it.

You *can* remove the governor on a stock engine and run it that way, with a high flow air filter and pipe and it will run much better than out of the box. The key here for safety is don't swap out the valve springs... The stock springs will not allow you to rev high enough to fragment the stock flywheel, at least in my experience.

Not sure what happened for a day it was named "tty tty yet itty" or something like that, then it turned into this.
I believe only Mods can edit thread names.

Came across this gem, not much for off roading though.

That is sweet! Were they called a "Grasshopper" or something?
Yeah, I'd be careful taking it off any kickers.

Today I ordered throttle, linkage, cable.
Brake lever, cable, grips.
All from OMB, thanks for the tip.
I sprang for the nicer throttle/grips, more like the Rupp grips. I don't care for the waffles.
Came up 7cents shy of free shipping... DOH!... How the frick do they do that?
So I added in a valve stem tool.

Maybe because it referred to bikers - mini bikers, not bikes - mini bikes?

ago up in Bakersfield

[klondikekid64]

This is still a "mini bike" right?

I just bought this yesterday, it's already stripped down to get ready for paint. it's a Bonanza

I love mini bikes, don’t currently have one but planning a quasi-Berkeley Savage build soon.

Do go karts count? Stretched a Streaker and stuck a 420 big block on it:
