New here from Ireland

[Kieran]

Hi there,

Kieran here, just though i would register. I dont know how this will go down but i hope im welcomed, because i dont have a real blaster, its a Chinese copy that im ashamed to work on, but its all i could get my hands on. I bought it for 30euro with it mainly needing an axle and a few other smaller parts. Its running a 250cc push rod air cooled 4 stroke. I noticed fuel in the oil, so im at a loss on weather to spend money on a rebuild or just buy a yamaha engine. Granted its probably the rings which is an easy fix, but im trying to make this into a real blaster and removing everything Chinese that i can.

Im not going to cheap out on the parts and put time into it, i plan on strengthen the frame next as it has rusted at parts, and if i decided to change engine a bit of cutting may be needed.

I have experience with bikes (2 wheels) and know what im talking about so please dont threat me like an idiot just because i have a copy.

Thanks Kieran

Hey, you got a good deal for 30 euro. I wish things were that cheap in Italy. That would cover dinner haha. I hope you have fun with it! I'm still scratching my head with my bike.

oops, i edited my post cause i didn't read urs first, u should prolly pick up a blaster engine, or just save up a few bucks and buy a real blaster

 

[Drifz1]

please please take my advice! iv had loads of chinese sh!t (from madbikes in the south) i had 3 drift karts a mini moto and a buggy i went threw 6 engines! (full engines ) i tought it was great at the time but i look back and i regret every bit of it! so just put the bike on donedeal for 150 and buy a blaster there going for around 700 (thats what i paid for mine and its just been rebuilt) !

 

[Kieran]

yea madbikes are hopeless, there just in the road from me, there drift karts are total rubbish, never bought anything from them and i never will.

Welcome aboard.

welcome aboard, only in Europe do you see a pic of chineese junk next to a beautiful rock wall! There are some chineese quads that are not a total loss. My buddie just picked up a Bush Hog 90 2 stroke. These were a promo deal for the dealers. buy a peice of farm machinary and will throw in this quad. Well I found out that Polaris makes the frame and body and a company called HOWIHT makes the engine. left side kick start???? This quad was ridden 3 times then sat in a shed for 4 yrs. we did'nt have the key when we got it. I called bush hog and they sent me a free ignition and keys in less than a week. the quad had some clogged jets, drained fluids and filled and this little 90 2 stroke ripped as good as a LT80, has electric start ,headlight,reverse, a rack for your 6 pack! and its a killer little pit quad for those late night dune adventures. Another decent brand would be Kaysea and Jetmoto, Honda clones that you can bolt honda parts on!
