I just bought my first bike yesterday, already equipped with an engine, for $300. I know, might not have been the best deal in the world, but im happy with my purchase.
Thing is FUN.
I always used to check out this site and always wanted to do something with my bike that I normally drive, but I saw this one on craigslist that was already premade. I met the guy, test drove one of these bikes for the first time yesterday, and today, I now own one.
By the way, you can just call me FITZ.
Good to be on the site
Also I have a couple of quick questions if anyone wants to quickly answer them...
1. Is it normal that my bike/engine motor requires me to get up to speed pedaling, then start with the clutch and accelerator? ((WILL NOT RUN AT STOP, like idling, unless you throttle while holding the clutch.))
2. I didn't put/mix 2 stroke oil in with my first fill up.., I used 10W-40 from a convenience store.. this ok for now? (This half a gallon.)
3.It leaks oil but this is normal right? Im going to try and tighten everything up and see if my new fuel mix leads to less oil leakage, along with tightening up some bolts with a flathead screwdriver, and a wrench.
4.oh also, my engine on the side, the Emissions sticker is a little tarnished but I can make out that its 68.5ccs, anyone know the origin or maker of this?
THANKS
Good to be with the small rare group that we are. Everyone should drive one of these. To the car world, these things are literally secret to everyday people.
