It's a front suspension mountain bike.With a 80cc motor. I have owned it about 4 weeks and runs excellent.It goes 25mph, at 3/4 throttle without to much vibration.it's completly stock. Having coil/cdi problems in the past week, just doesn't want to start.my new coil is in friday, hope that works.I'm only on third tank.I understand we can upgrade on sprokets,exhaust,carbs,intake,etc....Any suggestions on making this bike smooth,reliable and 35mph ripper.  |

Next get a jackshaft to put that sick bike to work for you!! You got gears, USE THEM - available in July.
Then let the engine breath......port and polish and add an expansion chamber kit. |

With plug out yet hooked up and grounded, with bike up, crank the **** out of it (out of direct sunlight/evening), do you get good spark? |
