Hi Everybody, first time poster and builder as well. I recently purchased a Baja rider, and swapped out the original 97CC engine for a 212 Predator. There is nothing else on it besides the stock brakes, tires, and the 212 along with a throttle cable I replaced. My next question is--what...

1st time poster here. I've had this bike for 10 years and finally have it running well. It has a 50cc Sachs engine and a two speed tranny. Any tips? What kind of tranny oil should I use? Anyone try Amsoil synthetic? Thanks for any advice. Picture taken last summer (that's not me, my wife)

Anybody run these ...I heard the tips break off the roller rockers so I was thinking these would be stronger

Anyone have advice and tips for painting your engine? Obviously, care has to be taken around entry and exit passages, as well as near gaskets? What have you done?

I would like it to be white again ... any tips? I did a search but my search skills must suck! Thanks Kevin

Since I have close to 5 set of one piece wheels with tubeless tires on them I figured I would post the question...... Any tips on removal and install of the tires? These things are literally kicking my butt in a big way. I don't want to hurt the rims in the process although I feel as...

Hey I can give you a few heads up on the Azusa kit.... I built a 8 incher .... 1. use a axle through the wheel bearings as you build the wheel halfs and install bolts... 2. Make sure kickstand mount (if ordered) is NOT placed where it will hit the footpegs (yea DUh on me) 3. The neck...

I thought to start a thread to cover wheel and rims tips, tricks and IDing..... Azusa 10" steelies (Knock off on the left and real Azusa on the right): Real on the left and knock off on the right: The knock off has 4x 3/8" (nearly 10mm) thru bolt holes vs 4x 1/4" holes....
