hi guys and girls
my names oscar im from the bay area california, this is my first mini bike :thumbsup:
i bought the bike from a lady on cl for $100 she said it wouldnt turn on and it was slow and couldnt pull her 10yr old kid around anymore, so i said cool and took it home, im familiar with bikes/small engine since i was younger just tinkering with them, i also built a yamaha ysr50 i recently sold to fund the db build.
when i got home i drained the gas tank and the carb of old gas, changed the spark plug and added new oil and filled her up with gas, it turned on first pull :smile:
after about a week of riding it around stock i looked online for a little more go, i ended up messing with the throttle and it made a difference it was slow but me and my wife both fit on the seat and it was fun all last summer, a month after i bought the db i purchased a ysr50 frame and built it. sadly the db sat for a long time and when i wanted to ride it 2 weeks ago it was struggling to stay running. now i could have easily cleaned out the carb and gave it a little tune up but i felt the bike needed to be upgraded so i convinced the wife to let me use the credit card haha :thumbsup:
last friday i ordered the hf 212cc engine, install kit and a bunch of little goodies that ive been wanting for a long time. so i decided to strip the bike down and give it a paint job so thats where im at right now.
i joined the site and im making a build page because there's a lot of really good infomation on this site and its cool that other people have the same interest. if anyone has any advice on the build up id love to hear it! sorry for the long intro just wanted to be informative, thanks!
ill update as i go with the build :thumbsup:
