I am 14 and i have for sum reason decide i want a pit bike.
i can spend up 2 around £450 on 1 and i want it delivered!
I want a strong bike which wont break. it is important that all parts are reliable and wont break/ fall off. i want 1 which is reasonably fast and can go over 50mph atleast. i've seen that u have 2 change oil every 10 hours of use so if this is just for oil cooled bikes can sum1 plz tell me, cos i dont want 2 do that.
alot of people reccomend stomp so i am currently thinkin bout gettin fx110 as it is cheap, apparently reliable and looks gd.
i was also thinking about superstomp x because it is so fast!!!! and it has usd's, lifan engine etc. but the oil cooler puts me off cos like i said i dont want 2 be changing oil all the time.
any other reccomendations will be considered.
sorry if i sed nooby things in the description of wot i want, the reason is because i am a noob!!lol
thankyou in advance people!!!

Just get the 110, theyre quality to learn on. Once you get better on a smaller bike, go to a 140 or something then.

I pretty sure all the Superstomp x's have been sold anyway.
But yeah, just get the fx110 to learn first then you can more on up in a bigger cc

thanks! thats wot i thought i shud do
do u know which one to get, there is a 10"/10", a 12"/12", a 12"/14" or a semi auto.

im getting my first pitbike soon and im 14 like you and im getting the superstomp 140x so you should be fine and to change the oil its just one bolt so its really easy and its under the bike so its really easy to get to

a few people have reccomended 110 as first bike tho, and i think it wud be easier 2 learn on. i will keep thinking about it and ask my step-dad ....
its 2 hard 2 chose ...... easier 2 drive bike or all that power !!!!!

29-05-2007, 07:28 PM
also with the superstomp 140 x, do u have 2 change the oil in the oil cooler aswell as the rest of the oil?
if u do is it as easy 2 drain the oil cooler as just unscrewing something like u do 4 rest of oil?
and does the oil cooler also use semi-synthetic 10w 40 4-stroke engine oil?
if its quite simple i might go for this 1 as it looks gd for only £100 more than 110

do u not think that superstomp x is gd value tho.
i heard lifan engines are gd but if 110 has gd engine suppose it dont matter.
problem is that i dont want 2 get one now and want 2 upgrade in a year or 2 so thats why im thinking about a bigger 1.
and if 110 is less work maybe it wud be better.
argghhhh its so hard 2 chose

Id stick with 110 a gd pokey started bike , fast, nice fun bike , and if u get bored with it get a 140 but alot of ppl have 110s and they are pleased with them i

140 might be a bit to power full but 110s are good :)

i need 2 know a couple of things bout superstomp x.
is it 2 stroke?
does it use the same 10w 40 oil that the 110 uses?
if not wot oil does it use?
and also wot oil does the cooler use?
is the only real difference between the 2 the power?
sum people say 110fx and sum say 140 superstomp x so this is difficult 4 me!

all pit bikes are 4 stroke, drain the oil from the sump, its a big bolt, drain that oil and use the same amount that has been taken out.
a 110 is pokey but give it 3 weeks and u will wana get a 125 or a 140.

the 140 is a four stroke like the 110 and i think it uses the same oil there are some more differences aswell and its also oil cooled so if i were u i would get superstomp 140x

oil cooler, there are a couple of water cooled pit engines out there but there like 500
with oil cooled bikes, does it mean that they just use slightly more oil than a normal bike??
do u put all the oil in the same place or is there a seperate place 2 put it for the cooling?
i suppose that if u put the oil in the same place, u have 2 drain all of it out after each 10 hours of use. if this is right does it mean that it is no more complicated, but it just uses more oil??
is this right??

yeh it would be a tiny bit more oil for the cooler, juts put ur oil, in the usual place and itll make its way to the cooler.
every 10 hrs thats like a 1000 miles if its road legal, yeh seems ok to me.

it isn't really any harder with an oil cooled engine if only difference is u use more oil.
how do u know how much oil 2 put in at a time??

if the engine is £320 the bike is a bargain for £450!!!
are the 2 bikes the same size??
