What is the most reliable kit? I don't care if its 4 stroke or 2 stroke

[Zcw1]

I am looking to purchase two new kits. What would you recommend... money isn't a problem. I don't mind to pay for a quality kit if its truly worth it.

Generally speaking the 4 stroke kits are more reliable than the 2 stroke kits, I would recommend the 4 stroke kit. That being said the 4 stroke kits are a good ammount larger, but if it fits its a good option.

I would say this kit, but it says its out of stock until febuary but this one should fit the bill to

A friction drive kit works too depending on what you're looking for

If money isn't a problem get a Honda.

I've built 8 bikes, if you take your time and go through all the parts before you start the install, all the kits will work well. Most likely issues will be head gasket, studs and the chain idler. Unless you want a 4 cycle, then get the Honda.

I would say the belt drive 4stroke. Might need a clutch replacement after a while but they are super reliable and the belt lasts a long time at stock power levels.

Get a Staton Gear/Chain drive or a GEBE.

most reliable is a friction drive 4 stroke, as theirs very few pieces for it to go wrong vs a chain driven frame mounted one.
a station friction drive is expensive. (around 300-500$) but they wont let you down.
35cc version

50cc version (bigger motor)

heres a cheaper one (its less powerful, but it will last if you take care of it, as with most things, its a good consideration as well)

Wonder why staton hasn't started selling the friction drive kit with the gx50 yet?

They probably need to test it before they can bring it to market, as honda had problems with there castings failing. Plus any Other problems that lie with a brand new engine design.

Id give them a few more months, they should have it out by then.

He probably couldn't get a good deal on a bulk shipment of them yet
