How Do You Fix a Pull Start on a Mini Pocket Bike ?

Question by wes vinson: how do you fix a pull start on a mini pocket bike ?

Best answer:

Answer by guardrailjim
I don’t recommend trying to repair it yourself without supervision LOL
It can be a little complicated the first time.
Either purchase a shop manual for a machine that uses a recoil starter, or bring it to a small engine repair shop (lawn mower, garden tools, etc)

Pocket Bike ….?

Question by Cessna 172 Man!: Pocket Bike ….?

I have a couple questions…….

1.Is this a okay bike for begginers http://www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/cPath/39/products_id/461

2.What type of gas you recommend (as in octane)

3.What happens if you use regular car or motor oil instead of 2 stroke oil.

4.How do you adjust idle on this.

Thanks a lot

Best answer:

Answer by m0rdecai
My advice get a full sized pocket bike, soo much more comfortable and fun.
REgular 89 octane works.
Dont learn just use the 2 stroke oil.
As for the idle they are all different but it should be a knob on the engine.

Answer by What’s up?
You HAVE to use 2-stroke oil.

Answer by wiggysan
Answers to question 1 , 2 , 3 & 4 :

We dont care what you do with it.

Its a child’s toy. I have just sold my daughters as she has out grown it. By the way, she is nearly 7. How does that make you feel? Like a boy ? Good.

Buy a real bike like a CR80 and then we can start talking to you like an adult.

Answer by roskez13
#1: This pocket bike is a toy, and soon discarded. Get a small 50cc or 80cc bike that is larger and will be easier to ride once he/she gets the hang of it.
#2: Regular gas is just fine. High octane gas won’t make any difference at all
#3: You must use 2 stroke oil. It doesn’t contain the detergents that car oil has and it can stand up to the higher temperatures that car oil can’t. Don’t skimp on this oil!!!
#4: On the carburetter there will be a screw or knob somewhere that adjusts the idle. It also might be on top where the throttle cable goes in. Ask the salesman where you buy it or just stop by a bike shop. Any mechanic should be happy to show you. If he doesn’t, you can scratch that bike shop off of your future repair place list.
I’ve rode 2 stroke and 4 stroke bikes for over 30 years and love both of them. Good Luck!

Answer by 750_Rider
This thing will fall apart in less than 6 months. These bikes require a high level of maintenance that is just not worth it. The quality in workmanship is too low for the performance. In other words I would go 35mph on something so cheap and flimsy. Even if it’s a toy for a kid, it’s so cheap, it’s a health risk. Motors don’t last long either.

Question by : Indiana pocket bike laws?

Illegal to operate anywhere on public roads, parks, paths, well everywhere but in your yard. Have fun.

Answer by Wolford H
Always wear a helmet.

Answer by Kevin H
Well do you know a lot about engines or how to maybe fix them, because these things have been known to run into engine troubles. Also almost everywhere these are illegal to ride, because they are technically an unlicensed vehicle and you may get a warning from the cops. But honestly it is your choice these are just a few of the things you want to think about.

BTW RYAN M YOUR AN IDIOT HORSEPOWER? THATS 47CC’S THATS NOT A LOT OF HORPOWER… 125 C’S IS 5HP… GET UR FACTS RIGHHT

Answer by Firecracker
That’s a nice toy, as long as you have a place to ride it.

Answer by zZMagikZz
As long as you play it safe. <-- May sound gay or what not but I am serious. Anyhow, sure I think 12 is plenty old. I think pocket bikes are cool. They are nice, compact, and fun to pull wheelies with. My friend drove into town with one and got some food but he was told by a cop in town that he could not do that. Pocket bikes are especially nice if you like street bikes, but you can not ride or get one. It also depends on your family's money situation. That looks like a good deal cut down to the 100's from 400!

Answer by Ryan M
That thing is sweet. People are saying that they break all the time but you can’t go wrong buying something you can ride for less than 200. It also has a lot of horse power

Has Anyone Ever Been Killed in a Neighborhood on a Pocket Bike?

Question by : Has anyone ever been killed in a neighborhood on a pocket bike?

If no one or a little amount of people have ever died while riding pocket bikes inside of a neighborhood then I will probably be able to convince my parents to let me get one. I’m not gonna ride on the freeway like the dumb f***s who get killed.

Best answer:

Answer by Karson
Well.
I don’t think anyone would be able to answer this as a yes, but no, I haven’t. And I don’t know anyone who has.
Good luck~

Answer by Pit Bike Pro
To be honest mate, they are no danger at all and its stupid that some parents don’t let you ride them, they are fun, they don’t go fast, and the most you can do with such a little thing is graze your knee..
the only reason i see is because of the noise, they are a little noisy but as long as your riding on a field or something then it should be ok.

Answer by Bob A
Yes there was a little girl killed by a guy on a pocket bike right up the street from me.It wasn’t a good day for anybody.

Answer by jon
LOS ANGELES — Miniature motorcycles, known as pocket bikes, have become popular items this summer and many children are riding them illegally on city streets and sidewalks, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Pocket bike riders who use them on streets and sidewalks put themselves in danger of serious injury or death.

Pocket bikes are sold at toy stores, automotive supply outlets and neighborhood shops. One company estimates it will sell 500,000 pocket bikes by the end of the year.

“There are very few places to ride a pocket bike legally, so children are riding them on streets and sidewalks,” said Auto Club spokesperson Carol Thorp. “We know of 2 fatalities involving young people on pocket bikes. One child was killed in South L.A. and a 14-year-old El Monte boy was killed when he was hit by a truck. The driver of the truck told police that he could not see the pocket bike rider.”

Show mom this

Answer by James
As you can see from other answers, yes, there have been deaths involving pocket bikes. Note the following: The ONLY legal place to ride a pocket bike is on private property where you have been given permission by the property owner to ride. In other words, around your own house. ANYWHERE else is illegal. If you’re looking for real transportation, but aren’t old enough to get a driver’s license, get a bicycle.

Answer by Tim D
Last year a man and his 2 year old daughter were killed riding one in a quiet side street not 6 miles from me. He was wearing a helmet, his daughter wasn’t, she died almost instantly, he died on his way to hospital – no other vehicles involved in the accident.

Try craigslist.com this is a site that you don’t have to sign in on or even sign up for. It has no pop ups or advertising. It is the largest site since ebay with no ads. Once you go there you will always go back. Just go there click on your state and then on the page that comes up click on the city closest to your own. Then just click on what ever category you are looking for something in. Just like a news paper style ads. Good Luck and Have fun looking.

Would Putting New Carburetor on Pocket Bike Help Performance?

Question by //BIG C//: Would putting new carburetor on pocket bike help performance?

I have had my pocket bike for a while and i have never had a fuel filter on it so i think there might be alot of dirt in it. i just wanted to know if it would make a noticeable difference if i put a new one on there? and also would i have to use it for a while until it works properly like break it in?

Best answer:

Answer by Irv S
No more then cleaning the old one.
You would have to tune it, (probably re-tune the cleaned old one also),
when you installed/re-installed it.
Once tuned, (if done right), that’s as good as it will ever get.

Answer by S Z
A lot of carburated motorcycles don’t have fuel filters but the carburators don’t get clogged. The reason is the dirt sinks to the bottom of the float bowl. Instead of replaceing a fuel filter you drain the bottom of the float bowl. There should be a screw on the bottom. This is also the method for removing water that gets into the system. If you drain it into a small glass you can see how much water and dirt you have accumulated. Putting a new carburator on it would be a waste of money. The engines on those bikes are not that great and you will never get that much power from it. If you did tune it to have more power the cheap piston would not take the extra heat. Carburators don’t need a break in period. But, really for that size of carburator they don’t sell high performance ones. It would be no better than the original. .

Answer by Dimo J
Local businesses have probably been burned too often to try selling such crap. If you want a pocket bike you need to buy in off the Internet from sleazy persons hidden so irate customers cannot get their money from.

Answer by Max Cruise
You will not find one for sale in any business.
Pocket bikes are made in China and are cheap junk. They break down early and often.
Pocket bikes are merely motorized toys.
Hope you are aware the ONLY place to ride a pocket bike is on private property. For most that will limit your riding to the parent’s driveway.
Don’t waste your money. Buy a bicycle.
