Hey All, new to this forum but not all that new to motorized bikes. Have a kulana moon dog bike frame with a 80cc or 66cc or 55cc or 77cc, or whatever they are now, engine on it. it was green then I stripped it and thought it would be the best if it was bare metal. Then i got a look at it and realized i was mistaken. So last weekend i cleaned it real good, primed it a couple times, sanded it once and rattle canned some nice deep blue coats on it. finished it up with some red on the stuff i needed to bolt back onto the blue frame and called it a day. looks more proper now than it did. Will post picture when i figure out how.

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us. You'll have to make a few posts before you can upload pictures. Cuts down on spammers doing it that way. We have lots of fun here and there's a ton of info........................

Do I need to get some kind of sproket, and if so how do i know which one to get?

can you take the sprocket off the wheel of the mini bike,or just take the whole wheel.

Howdy Fisher, welcome. do you know the RPM of the engine? Have to figure out the gear ratio and all. Here is a link to Dax's parts page with sprockets. Many places to get them but have to know what you want for speed and power. ENGINE_KIT_PARTS_PAGE_2

Above, do a search for "gear ratio" Lots of information.

make sure your wheel sprocket you get matches the engine sprocket and chain size.

Might be able to find some info online with any #'s found on the engine. Just a thought. Google is a DIYer's friend! If there are any or branding, post em here. Is amazing how well versed folks here are.

Never easy, but always fun...
