i would prefer not discussing that here add me on gas.rite@hotmail.co.uk if you want

[jameslanceley]

hey dont worry mate i understand i agree you made the right choice as their could be competiton finding out that price

[grimo35]

well ive found a prob already with the bike the exhaust is melting the plastics

[nickrud]

well ive found a prob already with the bike the exhaust is melting the plastics

sorry how do you see that, the top silver like exhaust is for cooling the engine it does not get that hot

[Despise]

sorry how do you see that, the top silver like exhaust is for cooling the engine it does not get that hot
how does it work?

[Despise]

well ive found a prob already with the bike the exhaust is melting the plastics
yea I noticed that

[count trampula]

that looks ace mate

well done

900 is a bit steep you can get a proline for 850 and there the dogs bollocks :thumbs:

[grimo35]

how can you not see that it is buring it look at the side of the exhaust and the white plastics its melted get a guard on it

[nickrud]

how can you not see that it is buring it look at the side of the exhaust and the white plastics its melted get a guard on it

Ahh yes i see thanks for that i will let my supply no and get it changed. Thats why im getting a sample first so that i can spot these things and get them changed

[spence09]

To be honest, at that price I think most people would rather go with a well known brand such as stomp or demonX. As has been said, you could buy a proline for cheaper than that, and with them people know what they are buying.

[count trampula]

i said it :D

[nickrud]

what does proline offer as a aftersales?

[spence09]

That's not my point though. Even so, say I were looking to buy one, how would I know that your aftersales were any better than what I would get with a proline?

[nickrud]

At the moment we havent confimed any prices and still are concidering, you will know the aftersales as we will state it on the website. Im just testing the water at the moment to see what people think of it.

[nickrud]

how does it work?

It is to release unnecassary heat, gases and pressure some new invention apparently

[Despise]

lol is that it. I thought it were something else, oh dear. :D

[funkysnair]

thanks for the technical term, their seemed to be some translation problems as he tried to explain how it worked and what it was called to me

[dan-mel]

lol:icon_lol: its a big tube with a fancy arsed valve on the end.

No better than a tube realy. even tho theres already on on the back of the engine.

So its just to make it look nices that a red bull can then really, is their anything else that would be a good addition to this bike?:)

depends what price your asking, if its anything over 600 you would be better off with a more powerfull engine, Such as a YX engine, there based in china and make quality stuff, just dont ask for the 150 engine cos its bad, the 140 race tuned one is better with (from what i read) 14hp or 15hp at the flywheel and 12-13 at the rear wheel, where as the lifan 140 is 12hp at the flywheel.

I will speak to my supplier about this in the morning, this is the stuff i want to here you guys are the consumers and i want to know what you want, keep it comming cheers :)

[dan-mel]

The best thing to keep in your head is people want cheap power, if you can get a bike with a big engine and bad suspension or a bike with a smaller engine and very good suspension prittey much everyone will chose the bigger engined bike. Solong as its still a proper pit bike, with the horizontal engine. :thumbs:

Im trying to make this bike so that their is very little bad things on it, i have the other lower quality bikes for that, i want this bike to be the dogs bollacks.

[dan-mel]

Ok, well if you want that, then you will want big money for it when you sell them, people wont pay big money if its just a usual lifan 140 like in some sub 400 quid bikes.

As to make the engine the dogs bolloks they will have to go out and spend a bunch getting it ported and tuned and new hi-comp pistons and cams and the works.

And they woudnt want to do that, cos if there paying alot in the first place they wont want to throw even more at it to make it a race winner.

If you look at the expensive bikes on ebay and such, a few have the YX140 engines, the demon has it, the stomp has it. And they also have good frames and good suspension, so if you want that sort of money you will have to either beat there specks or at least match them to make people buy your bikes.

its an extra breather tube it does actually do something.

it realives more crankcase pressure, so hopefully no more blown gaskets, and shagged up crankshafts.

[jthump110]

how much hp and torque r they pushing.

[nickrud]

how much hp and torque r they pushing.

A guess from my supplier is 10N.m and 15hp but this bike has not been made before so it needs to be professionally tested.
Probably get better guess tommorrow

theres not mini atom bombs going off in there every 2 mins, the one thats on the back does the job fine.

[funkysnair]

next we will have breather tubes sticking out of our helmets lol...

i like the fancie ****e myself and i do think it looks good but its over the top for what it does i wouldnt personally get one fitted but i do like the spec and the look of the bike

nice....

[nickrud]

Thanks for all the feedback guys, if you have anymore keep it comming, the bike will be at some trackdays in august so all will be free to try and test :)

[englishjenny]

nice bike but i think £900 is to much and won't get much interested you can get a used klx for that or new crf70 etc
the proline is a great bike aswell and cheaper than those but there better designed for supermoto imo.
if your going to import bikes get something that will sell and at the moment bikes that are under £500 are selling like mad,
but if you still wanted to sell these i'ld test the water first to see how many would consider buying before importing or otherwise you'll be stuck with a load of bikes which will decrease in value as the pit bike market continues to expand:thumbs:

[Effel]

Whats with the clear clutch housing?

[jthump110]

Whats with the clear clutch housing?


clutch housing, thats the rotar (flywheel side)

[Effel]

Oh yeah. But whys it clear,isnt it likely to crack when its dropped etc?

[Tommy brown4]

I agree with jenny :D You could get a mint kx85 for that price, Or even a 125..And them kx's last for ever
