Stock Manco Thunderbird weight limit

[sra1911]

Anybody know how much rider weight a stock Manco Thunderbird will hold. I'm rebuilding it for my son but I would like to "test drive" it once in a while. I weigh 260lbs though. Thanks.

I think most bikes are designed to hold much more than necessary. I wouldn't suggest taking it off any jumps or going really fast on rough terrain though. Your biggest concern would be the engine bogging down and burning up the clutch while starting off and accelerating.
