I am taking my ball and going home. In all reality I am just giving Cook a hard time. But I really do need the ignition fixed, stupid points.

 

[Vcook]

points suck, convert to cdi or replace and regap the points.

 

[HDTony]

convert it to cdi.

CDI FTW!

vcook speaks the truth. Points suck and theres no reason to run them anymore on anything

if you're really slick you can advance the ignition timing with a points system easily. Though you can with the cdi system too.

 

[Maynard]

Offhand, I don't know how to advance or retard timing on a bike with points. If it's anything like a car it's super easy either way.

How much is a transistorized ignition for a dirtbike? Maybe $30 I'm guessing? Screw checking point gap and filing down burnt points on the side of the road. Blah!

And I wondered why you had to step on the rear brake to crank Maynards bike. This explaines it all. Ghetto fix FTW!!!

UPS man is dropping off a box 'o parts toady. I get to take shit apart this weekend. Yea! :laughing:

FTR Maynard is a firm opponent of 2-wheeled ghetto fixes. The truck is a different story. I'll fix that bitch with duct tape and coat hangers if I have to.

Smartdrug fixed the throttle cable of his Taurus with a pen cap, and the clutch cable with the body of the same pen. True story.

 

[SmartDrug]

Haha, you remember that?!

Rep!

No one is going to pay $900 for his used fiddy. $800 is the most he will get. I have seen some stock 2006s go for as little as $500.

agreed, since mine is a 2000 i would get around $500 for it.

 

[BOOSTD_GSXR]

i did a quicksearch on ebay for a 125cc GPX motor and didn't come up with anything. where are they sold at?

[BOOSTD_GSXR]

damn thats a little more then im ready to spend on a motor. i'm going to stay in the $250 range. i know you get what you pays for but if a cheaper motor lasts 2 years i will be happy with that.

 

[Vcook]

if you spend $250 you get a 250 dollar motor. if you're thinking budget just do a basic 88 kit on your fiddy and be done with it. good grunt, reliable as hell, not so crazy that you kill yourself on it when drunk. What makes honda 50s so great is their indestructability, stick a hunk of crap motor in it and you lose that reliability. Just my 2 cents. If budget is an issue, basic 88, maybe a carb, uni filter, and HD clutch springs.

 

[BOOSTD_GSXR]

sounds like you realy know your shit with these 50's. budget isn't realy an issue just can't justify spending $500 on motor and parts to install when the bike is only worth about $500. i can live with dropn around $250 and taken a small hit when i sell the thing.

will the clutch jold up for a long time with hd springs? what would the next part in line be to fail due to the 88cc kit?

 

[Vcook]

stock clutch with HD springs will hold up to lots of abuse, especially with just the basic88. i'd say you'd get lot of life out of it unless you're doing 3rd gear burnouts all the time. FYI, stock honda 50 motors in good shape can net you close to $300 on ebay. I shit you not.

 

[Milenko]

looks like we are doing an 88 conversion. hit me up man!

 

[BOOSTD_GSXR]

looks like we are doing an 88 conversion. hit me up man!

what the hell are you doing up at 6:30am on a saterday morning!! i just woke up and im hung over as hell.


i'm leaning twords the 88 conversion. looks like i can get the whole pakage deal (with carb and all)on ebay for around $200.
