📄️ Brake disc 240mm for pitster pro 160

The metal, with a thickness of 8mm, is cut and adjusted, utilizing the same fasteners. The disc fits perfectly! No modifications were necessary, as I used the stock four countersunk screws.

📄️ Brake master cylinder from honda cb on pitsterpro

It so happened that the rear caliper overheated; the equipment is new, still not fully broken in and adjusted. As a result, the hydraulic line melted from the heat. I replaced the hose, but couldn't bleed it with the stock pump, tried both injecting and extracting with a syringe.

📄️ Engine tuning for honda cub

Today, the Russian market is flooded with "fifty-fifties" (50cc engines). There are countless options for used Japanese models and new Chinese models, but almost all of them come with the old, reliable, yet not very powerful, four-stroke Honda engine. Adding a fresh horsepower to this weak team isn't too difficult or costly.

📄️ Enhanced rear caliper from an atv

A week ago, I was inspired to install a rear caliper on my pit bike (since it didn't have one at all). This led to trips to stores, price comparisons, and so on. I chose a reasonably priced yet efficient caliper from a Chinese 250cc quad bike (the set included the caliper, hose, and a handlebar-mounted brake master cylinder), essentially a complete kit I needed. The cost was around 2000 rubles for the set, plus 1000 rubles for an extended braided brake hose to ensure the entire setup fit properly (for example, the original caliper from a TTR125 costs 2500 rubles, the master cylinder 2500 rubles, and the hose 1000 rubles), resulting in significant savings... but oh my gods!!!

📄️ Installing lights on a pit bike

I decided to install lighting on my Geon X Pit 150 Pro 2014. After spending an hour or two browsing forums on the subject, I gathered my thoughts and headed to the garage to remove the plastic to access the wiring. Upon removing the plastic, I discovered that seven wires were coming from the generator, three of which were capped off. I only needed the two yellow wires, which were connected to each other but not grounded (though there is a possibility they could be connected to each other and grounded as well).

📄️ Trail Bikes Oil Cooler Kit Installation Guide

The Trail Bikes Oil Cooler Kit is a premium accessory crafted to enhance the cooling efficiency of your Honda horizontal engine or its clone. Air-cooled engines tend to operate at higher temperatures when modified or subjected to demanding conditions such as racing. This kit enhances your engine’s longevity and reliability by circulating the engine oil through a cooler, thereby reducing the oil temperature. It is highly advisable to thoroughly review the installation instructions prior to commencing the process.

📄️ Pit bike suspension tuning

Once the engine's power is maximized, the focus shifts to the chassis. In racing, controlling the motorcycle is crucial, as tracks vary greatly, and riders differ in weight and riding style. The suspension is arguably the second most important aspect after the engine's power. Following the lead of Ohlins, other manufacturers from both Europe and China have begun offering their own shock absorber kits for pit bikes.

📄️ Pit bike tuning components

The Italian company Formula has unveiled its tuning kits for pit bikes. Formula was established in 1987 by Andrea Becocci and Daniela Frati in the city of Prato, Italy. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing high-quality wheels and brake kits for motorcycles. However, in 1993, a pivotal decision was made to produce brake discs for mountain bikes, marking a turning point in the company's history. Today, Formula produces top-tier components (brake discs, fork tubes, wheels, etc.) for bicycles and motorcycles, successfully competing with leading manufacturers of tuning components. Currently, Formula offers the following tuning for pit bikes:

📄️ Pit bike turbocharger

It seems that manufacturers have realized that further growth in volume is nearly impossible, and have decided to focus on extracting maximum power from the pit bike engine by any known means. The Japanese company Daytona has developed a mechanical supercharger (commonly known as a turbocharger) for the pit bike engine. It is designed to work with engines from the same manufacturer, but it is quite likely that it will also be compatible with Chinese-made engines.

📄️ Pitbike Project: Kayoster 190cc 4V SM

Today, we shall delve into an intriguing project: the transformation of a supermoto pit bike based on the Kayo 140cc, equipped with a Zongshen 160cc engine and a customized four-valve Devil Head cylinder head. The project was undertaken during the winter of 2013-2014.

📄️ Preparing for winter

The winter season has arrived, and I wish to extend my congratulations to all who will continue riding as if it were summer, with maximum grip and enjoyment! For us, this winter season of 2013 is planned to be as comfortable as possible, which means that first and foremost, we must proactively ensure we have warm clothing and prepare our bikes for the weather conditions. Dressing warmly and comfortably is not particularly challenging, but preparing the pit bike is a task. Let's begin:

📄️ Project turbo monkey bike

The British company OORacing specializes in the modification of monkey bikes and pit bikes. They operate a small family business with their own store and development department. Like larger companies, to maintain their brand and reputation, they have assembled a so-called showstopper - a turbocharged monkey bike based on a YX 170cc 4v engine.

📄️ Big Bore Kit Installation Guide

Note: The 88cc kits are engineered to maximize the size of the Honda 50. Consequently, the cylinder skirt is minimized and may fit snugly into the engine cases (spigot hole). It is advisable to test fit the cylinder prior to piston installation. You might encounter some surplus gasket material that needs removal. Additionally, it may be necessary to use a scotch brite pad on the cases (spigot hole) to ensure a proper fit. Ensure the cases and cylinder are well-lubricated.

📄️ Triple clamps lxr for installing forks from cr85

It is a well-known fact that the selection of suspension kits for the front fork of pit bikes is rather limited. Chinese forks like Fastace, DNM, replicas of Marzocchi, and the exotic TECH and ENGI are practically all that is available to the average pit biker. However, the main issue is the lack of consumables for repair and maintenance.
