Hi All,
I have been lurking on the forums for some time and finally decided to bite the bullet and register.
Because of Maniac57's posts, I decided to go with a Rose326a 80cc kit from Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/331163659232). I am going to be mounting it on a Diamondback Response XE 20" frame.
I just had some questions for the forum because this is my first attempt and I would really appreciate the help:
1. I am currently WAY under my budget (the kit was only $145) and would like an easier and more reliable build. What additional parts should I order right now? (Such as the SBP Hardware, new clutch cable, new SBP throttle? Should I replace the engine studs? If so, what threading are the studs? Etc.)
2. Will I be running into any mounting issues? If so, what additional mounting hardware would you recommend I buy? The bike is modern and here is a link to what it looks like: http://www.diamondback.com/2012-response.
3. What must I do upon first receiving the kit? I keep seeing many other members recommend a flush of these Chinese engines with a gas+oil mix...however, being a noob, I have no idea how to approach this. Is there a guide (I have not been able to find one)?
I know that it is a lot of questions, but I really would appreciate your help! Please feel free to include any additional advice and tips for the Rose kit/Build.
Thank you again in advance!
