My New Toy Until I Get Cash for Blaster.

[Motocrossguy17]

Hi guys well im saving up to buy a blaster with as much upgrades as possible. i won't have the cash until after xmas so i thought i might pick up a toy to use until then and one that doesn't require me to buy a trailer to transport.

so i ended up putting a ad up on facebook and got offered Demon X 140cc Pitbike. its perfect size as i can fit it in my mates box trailer until i get a quad then another trailer to transport the blaster.

so here it is







i paid £60/$90 for it. it requires a few things at a total of around £50/$70 £110/$160 to get it done and running. and when times come to get a blaster i can sell it for £400/$600 (thats about $200 of the actual price they go for.

going to call local shop tomorrow and see about ordering the parts which i need are
Head Stock Bearing
Rear wheel Bearings
Second Gear
Fork Seals

all in all i got a bargain and il make money on it later on when it comes time to get a quad going to use this until i have about £1000/$1500 then sell this and buy a blaster with the cash. i have £500/$700 the now put away. still got KTM Engine,Frame,Swingarm And Excel Rims (front and rear) to sell. then and got Rm Engine,Frame,Forks,Seat,Swingarm Blah Blah left. but the parts are selling slow but not as slow as i thought.

oh and the cash i worked for on wednesday the 19th paid for this so i never paid for it out the bike parts cash.

Rockstar Graphics

been sweet once its done and il still make the cash off it going to scrapyard over weekend as I need a carb cap. also going to take my cash I have for quad and see if there is any cheap bikes to fix and sell on.

i got the engine out the bike today and top end off. after thinking about cash,transport etc iv decided just to spend the money on this to fix it and put some racing parts in engine and use it. as i was going to buy a blaster for like £1500-£1800. but i would need to buy a trailer as well,2 stroke oil and petrol. but with this il only need to pay for petrol as i can fit in my my mates box trailer so don't need to buy a trailer to go out. plus my grandad isn't able to take me out all the time and not spending the cash on a blaster etc for it to sit in shed for ages. and its cheap for parts. got a race camshaft coming for it as well which puts about 10HP on the engine. the place im using it anyways a blaster wouldn't get the throttle opened up as its not a very big place. but im happy plus il be able to buy some cheap bikes to fix and sell on

Dude, stop spending your money on parts bikes and get ONE fixed up.
Where is the KTM?

This 150 is a yawner. No hope of going much faster. A stock Blaster will smoke it.
Do not waste the cash on "race" parts. If the cam made 10hp more it would almost double the hp but I doubt it.
Lucky for 10% in most cases, which would be less than 2hp.

Yes, very very mildly surprised...

Read my thoughts, but they were much more funny.

I'm kinda with these guys here. Why did you take the top end off? Was the motor blown? If it were me I would get the parts to get this thing back together for as cheap as possible and ride it or sell it. It is going to be a cheap Chinese toy no matter what you do to it. Here is a picture of mine that I rebuilt recently:

It was in nearly as bad of shape as yours and I spent just over $200 to get it to this point so I can keep beating the hell out of it. No race cam needed, my ginger friend seems to approve.

the ktm is half gone ended up parting it out as the parts i needed were more than i thought for it. not wanting a quad as i hardly get out the now due grandads health plus i can only get out a weekend that my gran and grandad isn't at my grans brothers. i am lucky to get out 1 every 3 months and not spending all the money on a quad/trailer for it to sit in the shed more than half a year. i would love to have another blaster but the money i spent on my one when i bought it stock. or even buying one with the mods i don't want it sitting about as we have just had new neighbours and there friends with the people that steal the bikes around my area.

gearbox wasn't selecting second gear. im going to fix it and make it a bigger frame/wheels and use it as you'll see my comment above why.

I am an old guy with 6 running bikes and perhaps another 6 "projects" hanging around the garage. The projects (like the KTM Blaster) are a lot of fun when I finish them, but take a HUGE chunk of time to get done.

I find projects everywhere, $100-$200 each. If I'm not careful I'd fill the garage with them, and never have time for riding. I'd have to work overtime to pay for the stuff to finish them, so even less time for riding. It is hard enough to keep a running bike going, with the time and money it takes in maintenance, let alone building one from a box.

This from a guy who has built many from a box, is keeping half a dozen bikes running and keeps a factory running for a living.

yeah man i understand when i first started on bikes/quads around 5-6 years ago i was buying cheap bikes to fix and sell on and i made a few bob doing it. i like working on them more than riding to be honest but i do like to ride sometimes. im starting a course in next few weeks to get qualifications for to get a job as a Quad/Bike Mechanic either a Apprenticeship or something. i like when i have a few bikes lying about as it gives me something to take apart or put together etc reason being when i had my blaster it was always in bits as i never had another toy to tinker with. going to buy and sell cheap bikes like pitbikes(not this one) and other bikes but not getting any chinese quads or crossers only chinese bikes im dealing with is pitbikes as there cheap to get parts to sell on. im trying to get money together as well as i want to have cash there incase i ever need it for things i might need to get a job like a licence or test etc etc. mucking about in my shed is the only thing it gets me out and about apart from when im out sea fishing but i don't go out myself on the streets etc only ever with family or mates like on boat but not drinking blah blah. even my mate i go out with bikes on is moaning at me coz im not buying a blaster but at the end of the day its my money i have been buying bikes with since i first got into them. i use to rely on my gran parents for money to fix them before but i know now im older i need to pay for them myself and the only way im going to be able to have a toy and be able to do repairs to and be able to ride is if i make enough money to buy a toy i want to keep and have money behind me for repairs.

Sorry I missed the part about the trans before. It seems like you have your head in the right place but I'm still going to recommend that you get this thing back together for as cheaply as possible. Changing the frame/wheels cams etc. is just creating more obstacles for the completion of this project and IMO won't net you a whole lot performance or enjoyment wise.
