Motorcycle engines, including those of pit bikes, may occasionally emit a small amount of smoke. However, when a persistent and substantial volume of smoke is observed, it is imperative to investigate and resolve the underlying problem.
Clutch Installation and Adjustment Guide
Loosen the locknut on the clutch adjuster screw. Proceed to tighten the screw until there is minimal to no play in the clutch actuator plate. Attach the provided clutch cable to the clutch arm and guide the cable up to the clutch lever. Ensure that there is a slight amount of play at the clutch lever. If this is not the case, loosen the clutch adjuster locknut and readjust the clutch adjuster screw.
1. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjustment screw to the right by approximately 1 turn. Then, turn the screw to the left until it becomes slightly heavy. Turn the screw back to the right 1/8-1/4 turns from the position where the screw became heavy.
The fundamental principle of the roller rocker design is its capacity to accommodate significantly more aggressive ramp profiles on the camshaft. This innovation enables the valves to open more swiftly, remain open for an extended duration, and close more rapidly, thereby enhancing the engine's fuel intake. Additionally, the roller tip reduces the coefficient of friction, which minimizes parasitic losses due to friction and heat. Consequently, the camshaft operates with diminished drag and heat accumulation. Collectively, these advancements culminate in a remarkably powerful system, offering significant and substantial performance gains over stock configurations.
In recent times, several companies have begun producing limited edition engine cases, meticulously crafted from a solid block of alumin
The most crucial step after purchasing and assembling a pit bike is its break-in process.

This cylinder head design accommodates CRF50 and Lifan-style intake manifolds and exhaust systems. Notable features include an intake port that is nearly level on the top, akin to a CRF50 or Lifan engine. Additionally, the exhaust studs measure 6mm.
Steps to Address a Flooded Engine
Sooner or later, our engine will meet its end. Whether it's a broken gear tooth, a disintegrated piston, or a worn-out kickstarter ratchet, you'll find yourself placing the pit bike on a stand, removing the engine, and figuring out the issue. In such cases, mechanics often say, "the engine is in a state of disarray."
Fuel Considerations for Pit Bikes
Engine Terminology
During the initial 2 to 4 hours of operation, maintain low speeds and minimal loads on the engine. It is permissible to increase the revolutions, but avoid subjecting the engine to significant stress, such as climbing steep inclines. After completing the break-in period, ensure to change the oil.

Engine oil leaks can arise from a variety of causes. Below are the most prevalent reasons, listed in order of frequency:
Pit bike engines are fundamentally derived from the Honda 70 series engines. These engines are currently utilized in Honda CRF50 and CRF70 models. The primary motor mounts and the four lower mounting points, known as peg mounts, are consistent across all pit bike engines. These engines are compatible with all Chinese pit bikes and most older or current Honda models equipped with horizontal OHC engines, excluding the KLX110 and DRZ110.
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.
Electricity is indifferent to color coding. Examine the CDI box and trace the wire from the correct pin location to the appropriate component.
A true powerhouse in the pit bike engine lineup.
Ensuring the correct piston ring end gap is crucial to prevent potential engine damage. Although new rings are typically within specifications, it is prudent to verify their measurements.
Introduction
The assembly procedure of a pit bike after delivery is relatively straightforward, though it may require certain skills, tools, and a helping hand.

Overview
TB Race heads for KLX110 and DRZ110 have been available in three distinct versions. Below are the methods to identify the type installed on your motorcycle:
Hello everyone, we have gradually returned from our vacation and the scorching summer, ready to continue sharing our expertise in maintaining our pit bikes. Today, we will discuss and demonstrate a rather mundane procedure - the cleaning and oiling of the air filter, which, despite its simplicity, often leads to numerous issues and questions such as "the pit bike won't start" or "it's flooding," and so on.
When undertaking a rebuild using gasket kits, it is imperative to avoid using stock O-rings on the cylinder base and cylinder head sealing surfaces.
So, you've purchased a new pit bike and can't wait for the first start, or perhaps you have an old, well-used bike. There you stand, scratching your head, unsure of how to properly change the oil in the engine. Nowadays, it's crucial to change the oil on time because four-stroke engines are becoming increasingly powerful and high-performance.
For pit bike engines equipped with bottom oil cooler connections, it is imperative to either install an oil cooler or connect the two oil cooler ports with a jumper. Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in engine damage.

Measuring piston ring gaps is often a misunderstood and misleading aspect of their replacement process. It is crucial to identify the minimum and maximum ring gaps to ensure optimal results when installing a new set. The minimum ring gap must be considered to prevent the ends from butting as the ring expands when the engine reaches operating temperature.

On the vast expanse of YouTube, we discovered a video guide on repairs. The author occasionally confuses terms like bolts and screws, yet we must express our gratitude for the detailed filming of the pit bike engine disassembly process. We already had written articles with illustrations on how to correctly disassemble and assemble a pit bike engine, and now there is a video available, and in Russian no less.
If you type "Honda Super Cub" into a search engine, you'll find dozens of fan club websites for this machine. Their non-virtual love is fueled by an abundance of tuning firms supplying the necessary "hardware."
When considering the various types of pit bike engines, such as the GPX124cc and YX160cc, some are straightforward to recommend kits for, as we have experience building these. However, other engines present more challenges, and simply knowing the bike or model will not suffice. Engine numbers are also unhelpful, as we lack references for these identifiers.
Pre-Ride Preparation and Inspection
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.
Important Considerations
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.
It is essential to inspect all points before the first engine start.
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.
Installation of Intake Manifold
Important: Assembling the Race Head necessitates the use of a valve spring compressor. In the absence of this tool, it is highly recommended to entrust the installation of the valves to a professional at a Honda service center.
The popularity of pit bikes in Russia is steadily increasing. Although dealers offer numerous models differing in frames, fittings, and engine capacities, the engines all trace their lineage back to the Honda Cub.
A loose shift star and drum can lead to missed gear shifts. Although this is an uncommon issue, it is typically straightforward to resolve.
If you have followed our advice and preserved your engine this season, we hope this article will not be necessary for you. Otherwise, you will have to order a new pit bike engine, endure the agonizing wait for delivery, and break it in. Contrary to the common belief of "install and ride," things are not as straightforward as they may seem at first glance. We have previously discussed how to assemble a pit bike and prepare it for its maiden ride. Today, we will talk about the initial setup of a new pit bike engine before starting it.
