Re: Chinese mini engines

Why 88cc mate? I have a lifan 88cc engine and I don't see the point? There is no masters 88cc class anymore.

Or is it just to use on practise tracks?

I definitely wouldnt bother putting an 88 top end on a *****y bottom end. I'd stick with honda. The only reason why mine is 88cc was it came like it from lifan.

Just get a 125cc?

Re: Chinese mini engines

Beautiful bike!

Go on to fiddyforum, sign up, and PM fiddyparts. I'm sure he'll be able to sort you out with one of the FJR88 lumps. They come standard with a IRK kit fitted by lifan and they go really well!

The accel is beast. I love mine.

I guess they are the same size as 50's?

Thanks a lot!
Yeah, i've got an account on fiddyforum, i'll have a look at the fjr engines, but i know it sounds really picky, but i'd really like something with the same shape case on the right hand side, so that it at least looks like a crf50 engine at first glance haha - if you get what i mean?

Re: Chinese mini engines

Well, that's up to you. But not having one that looks like a crf50 case would easily save you 70 odd quid.

Think about it.


engine from john, can't be more than 150 right?

Stomp engine, about 165 posted I believe.
You still need, 88cc head. got to cost 100 easily.
IRK kit, is included I think, but not fitted. So IRk replacement tools are needed, you will need a flywheel puller and holder, and an IRK holder too. That can't be cheaper than 35 ish.

Personally, I'd rather spend the 150-200 on Johns 88 lump, with everything fitted no pissing about, then have to mess about spending 280-300 quid from stomp.

Think about the bigger picture here, saving 100-120 quid. Does the sidecase really matter that much? Besides, I'm sure It can be changed to a honda one.

Yeah, i think it was on ebay a while ago
The picture was taken a few days ago, when the previous owner had it, but now it has been sent and will hopefully come today or tomorrow
I bought it as a roller, so id does not have that engine in it now

Re: Chinese mini engines

If you want a decent engine then on ebay there is one. Type in 'crf 50 engine' and it will come up. It looks pretty clean aswell. Its only been used for supermoto.
