Superstompx140 review
By jenny Kingman


Ok so I wasn?t as fortunate as some and had only £450-£500 to spend on a new pit so klx and crf70 where out of the picture, but after hearing some positive reviews about stomps I decided to go for a superstompx 140 which is the upgraded version of the superstomp140 with some upgrades and improvements.
Specs:


140cc Lifan engine. Affordable, powerful bike with 12HP! Thats 70mph!

High performance 140 cc Oil cooled Lifan Engine

Oil filled forks with Alloy Triple Clamps

Adjustable rear shock

Extended swing arm (ball race pivot)

Alloy bars

Alloy levers

SDG Hubs with latest wavey disks

Braided steel brake lines

PP Plastics

Quality Steel Frame

High strength KMC gold chain
Added Features:

Open Front Sprocket,

SDG Cradle Frame,

Anodised lightweight oil cooler,

Upside Down Forks
Well after ordering bike it came within 24hrs as stated.
Put bike together was really straight forward took me a matter of minutes to put bars, shock, and front wheel on then I stood back to admire my new toy. It looked great with the mid size wheels,usd?s and oil cooler but my favourite part has to be the sdg frame it looks amazing.
I started the bike and I started first kick but the exhaust is way to loud for my liking, loudest stock exhaust I?ve ever had on a pit, so I wedged a spare silencer I had in it just not to annoy my neighbours to much when I start it in the garden. But apart from that the bike ticked over perfectly.
I took the bike out for a short ride and the weather conditions weren?t great but my stock tyres surprised me by sailing through the mud and gripping really well. I was expecting to have to upgrade the stock tyres straight away, but they have a decent amount of grip so should last me a good while before I have to buy some upgraded ones.
The engine is amazing for a Chinese copy, it has so much power and scared the hell out of me when I was in 3rd gear, I didn?t have the guts to bottom out in 4th.
I let a more experienced friend of mine who rides trials bikes take the bike up a hill known as ?death hill? as very few bikes make it to the top, usually only trials bikes and big motocross bikes succeed and my heart was in my mouth as he went up I was almost certain that he wouldn?t make it and flip it or bail out or something, but after a struggle he made it to the top, I was shocked I don?t think anyone has ever made it up that hill on a pit. He came down grinning saying he wanted to buy my bike and saying it had so much grunt for a Chinese engine, after I managed to wedge him off my bike I continued my test ride and was surprised again buy the stock Chinese adjustable shock, it wasn?t all that bad I wasn?t bouncing around like tigger on a pogo stick like I have been on previous Chinese pit bikes and it didn?t look flimsy. Also as the shock is adjustable it allows you to adjust it to suit you.
The brakes are great not to sharp but responsive and a decent back brake is needed where I ride so was very impressed with those to.
My usd?s where a bit stiff but after an oil change and a few decent rides to wear them in they should be fine.
I don?t like the handle bars they are to low and when I was coming down a hill I thought I was going to flip over them, but this is only a minor problem which can be fixed with some bar raisers or some decent bars. I don?t like the stock exhaust either it?s way to loud and , makes the bike sound like a tin can. but I didn?t expect all parts to be top notch on this bike or it would have been a lot more than £450 so for that price I defiantly cannot grumble.
I love the sdg hubs they are nice and sturdy and don?t feel flimsy and as though they would collapse after landing a small jump, they look great to.
The plastics also took me by surprise I got ****y and under estimated the power of this bike and took a corner way to fast and hit a tree, I was sure I?d smashed my mud guard and front plastics but I hadn?t there was just a tiny scratch on my mud guard so very impressed with plastic quality whereas on other pits I?ve had the plastics have shattered at the slightest bump.
The gears are all up so no more false neutrals and there actually is a first and second gear so I won?t be changing the sprocket setup like I was expecting to have to do.
The foot pegs you either hate them or love them but I like them there nice and chunky and good for mx boots.
Overall I am very impressed and happy with this bike and can?t wait to ride it again. At £450 this bike is well worth it and won?t fail to disappoint!
best chinese budget pit i've ever owned:thumbs:

Well done to stomp!

[toby_crispin]

lush bike, ive been looking at these for a while now, do you have any photos or videos of it, cause i want to see hwat its really like. Cheers, Toby

[englishjenny]

ok will be getting more pics soon hopefully this weekend.

and the only bits i don't like about this pit is
exhaust,and handlebars but there only minor things that don't cost to much to replace and like i said in my review i didn't expect all parts to be to my satisfaction coz if they where the bike would be way more than £450.
also i thought i was going to have to upgrade shock and tyres straight away,but they are decent for stock and i won't be upgrading for a good while now:thumbs:


well worth the money guys if you have a small budget like me:thumbs::banana:

[Dibble la]

with or without oil cooler?

[Dibble la]

with or without oil cooler?
superstomp x has oil cooler

[Despise]

superstomp x has oil coolersorry thought u were tramp for a minute.

The best way would be to put in the standard 0.9 L of oil in then take it for a 5-10 minute ride, then test it with the dipstick and see how much extra you can add.

Roughly though you should be able to add 1L or 1.1 which should do you fine. Best way is to do what I said above 1st though.

[Dibble la]

so bout 1 litre altogether?
cant u just poor it in till its full?
or wud count's way be the best 2 measure how much comes out and put that much back in?

[Despise]

You dont want too much oil in there otherwise it will create too much pressure and it will be spitting out the crank tube.

[Dibble la]

ooo not gd i think easiest way is 2 measure how much comes out.
thanks

[Despise]

ooo not gd i think easiest way is 2 measure how much comes out.
thanks
ride it 1st.

[Dibble la]

Thing is you get disillusioned in ppl thinking its a no name pit. But who gives a fuck what they think, if they think its **** thats there problem but anyone with half a cup of knowledge will look at your pit and no what t is or at least recognise decent parts, the same would go for my pit, I cant care along as it holds.

[Ryan]

[englishjenny]

[Dibble la]

thanks.
is it gd 2 be up 2 half on the dipstick

[beffe]

my superstompX arrived today and i put it together and started it and it sounded gorgeous, the only thing is its been raining for ages up here and its set to rain all weekend so im pushing it about in my dads shed

Get riding drty, you know you want too;)

[Ryan]

riding in the rain is more fun imo :banana:

[Dibble la]

mine came 2, much bigger than i thought!!
the oil has leaked out so cud sum1 tell me what oil i need for the engine break-in?
will i need bout 2 litres if 1 litre is half way up dipstick?
thanks

[Despise]

you want it to the top at top of the guide on stick, if maybe a little extra to allow for cooler

[englishjenny]

don't freak out guys if the kickstart seems quite hard to kick it's because of the really high compression that these bikes have so don't think it's broken, i found mine started alot easier in neutral with clutch in plus don't forget gears are n-1-2-3-4 so all up:thumbs:

[beffe]

i dont think that it is that hard to kickstart,even my little brother who is 12 did it the second time and he said that it was easy

[dan-mel]

no you wont need 2l, lol the ones without oil coolers hold about 800ml so a one with should hold about 1100ml max i would have thaught.

Its not good to over fill them, i once filled my lawnmower right to the brim with oil and when i pull started it, the cylinder got full with oil, then a whole load of it came splurging out the exhaust lol then once i drained a bit out, it was smokey as fook for a few mins. :icon_lol:

[Despise]

1.0L to 1.1L

[Dibble la]

thanks,
i cant go on it now anyway till i get a new inner tube for the back

[englishjenny]

my back inner tube went straight aswell the valve ripped out but i bought a decent vee rubber tube and had a rim lock fitted and now its sound:banana:

i have told u that will fit its a universal offroad 12 incg tube fits any 12 inch wheel just stop askin Qs and buy it :icon_lol:

:)

[Dibble la]

yes but jenny sed summin bout a gd one and i want 2 know if the 1 im looking at is as gd cos i want 2 get 2 back ones and 1 front one so i am prepared for the worst and i dont want 2 get sum duff ones.
also count cud u tell me what a rim lock is and wot it does, cos i might get 1 if it prevents this from happening

[count trampula]

a rim lock im lazy and CBA but hear is lewis"s guide :)


http://www.pitbikeclub.co.uk/showthread.php?t=540&highlight=lock

[Dibble la]

yeh i already read that but i still dont know where 2 get 1 and wot exactly it does

[count trampula]

i think it baseicly locks the rim to the wheel/ tube :)

[jthump110]

if u want extra grip on dirt u can let more air out and the rim lock just keeps the inertube in place.

[Dibble la]

im not bothered about letting air out for more grip and that stuff.
i just dont want another flat tyre, so would a rim lock help

[count trampula]

yeh probz :thumbs:

[Dibble la]

k cud sum1 find me a link plz, dont think there are any on ebay

[dan-mel]

wont help flat tyres unless your ripping the valves or rubbing away the tube inside if you dont have enough pressure in it.

A strong good quality tyre will help loads. I went through 3 innertubes in 1 and a half months with a crap tyre then i changed it to an MS2 and never popped one in 7 months and still going.

[Dibble la]

its the stock tyres on my stomp which are kendas, and i thought they are gd.
i have only had a quick look and can see that the valve has ripped off, maybe this is because i had a puncture and didn't stop str8 away or the valve just ripped off and there is no other puncture.
i dont rly know but it seems a gd idea cos i wont have 2 buy new inner tubes all the time if the valves dont rip.
any links???
thanks again

[Dibble la]

i have found 1 but not sure if it is ok for 12" wheel, here it is
http://www.dirtbikebitz.com/rim-lock-tyre-clamp-p-729.html
also will this affect the performance/speed of my bike in any way?

[dan-mel]

Yea, it should fit solong as you get the right width. no it wont effect the perfomance, it adds like 50g or something. lol

[Dibble la]

kwl i'll print lewis' guide off and show it 2 my dad and tell him it stops the valve from ripping 2 see what he thinks.
where do i measure for rim width cos it seems quite small (biggest is 2.15")
thanks
dibble

[williams#5]

does the superstompx come with the lubricants such as dot 4 brake fluid etc supplied.

:D

it will say on the rim. if not then measure the inside of the rim, like where the tyres goes.
