Goodbye 2 stroke!

Well I'm tired of my rattletrap 66 vibrating my *** off and vibrating itself to pieces daily. So I finally bit the bullet and just ordered a titan 50 rear mount from dax. A search turned up all good news....I like the idea of a smooth running somewhat balanced engine thats built to last.

Where are the titan owners at?

If the 66cc was vibrating throughout the rpm range, then it is severely out of balance or the crankshaft is probably bent. You should contact your vendor if it was that bad. Your engine could be defective.

how many miles on it. mine vibrated at full throttle for the first 200 miles after that smooth as silk.

My DAX Titan vibrates quite a bit, enough to make my hands numb sometimes even with fairly thick foam grips. It isn't broken in yet though.

I guess I could've bought 3 more crapshoot 66's for the cost of this engine but I need longetivity and reliability. I looked around for a 47R engine but apparently you can't get them anymore. The francos would be awesome but they're outta my price range.

Goodbye rear rack, welcome back water bottle holder. Yey!

I'm sure I'll be on here with all my opinons on the kit the night I get it and install it. I'm starting with the standard 44t sprocket but If I don't have to pedal up any hills I will be gearing her up.

Now all I need to do is find a turbo small enough for this engine to spool

I got 2 try out a rear rack 47cc two-stroke. I was very impressed with the power and torque from this motor. It definitely performed better then the China Girl motors, smooth and vibration free and hit 30-35mph with no trouble what so ever.

Last pic is the 47cc on left and Titan on right (red bike).

If I ever abandon my 2 stroke oil burners and go for a 4 stroke I'd look at an in-frame mount. I've ridden rack mounts and for me it's an exercise in gymnastics leaping over all that machinery. If I ever considered a rack I'd go with a step-through, girl's bike. But then at my age I've found it more comfortable to squat when I p**, so what do I know? The rack mounts are good for tall guys with plenty of leg and agility. Be ready for that.

Not true. I have a robin/subaru 33 and it only weighs like 7 pounds and sits well below my seat. I'm 65 so not as spry as I used to be but still have no trouble throwing the leg over. If I can get it over the seat, it auto goes over the motor.
