You can convert the Semi Auto engines to Manual very easily ya'know. Smile


Looks awesome anyway!
I am currently after a frame for one.
Been offered a C50 for nothing, but the back end of the frame has rotten out. Nothing left to weld to. Laughing

For the amount I sold my semi auto engine for, the manual lump, for brand new, cost the same as the parts to convert the old one.

I have another C90 frame but it's got plates welded in the frame for the NSR lump.



Got it running last weekend, fitted the manifold and carb, throttle cable and footrests. Next on the list is an exhaust bracket (Probably mounting where the helmet holder is at the moment) and a clutch cable.

Done...

It's not perfect, but it's no longer rusty.

Looks like a good job Thumbs Up .
I agree the stickers need to go, it`s not about keeping it pure/standard.
How the hell are you going to creep up on Ped-Bois if you`re wearing badges telling them you ride is a bit trick Smile

I dont think he's gone for a fast build.
Those Lifan 125 enignes are about 7bhp. So it will struggle to keep up with anything faster than a de-restricted 50cc ped.
Will probably give most peds a good run though, and even some of the 70cc peds. Will certainly surprise them.

However, it does look fecking awesome! Cool
Stickers are awesome.
I am still un-decided on what to go with on my Chaly.
I fancy stickering up the leg-shield. It looks wicked!

Nah, they're just chuggers mate. Reliable though!
But yeah, 7bhp if you're lucky.

Although if it is a Kick in Gear engine, they can be made into a 140cc quite easily.

It's good for cruising at 45-50 and about 60 flat out.

I didn't want anything bigger, I've got a big bike to go quick. I like going slowly and exploring. Smile

The brakes tyres and suspension can't cope with any more, you can feel the frame flex when you corner at 50...

Plus, 120mpg, and all the other people I know with cubs have the same engines. Less is more sometimes.

This is what worries me a little with the Chaly.
Granted, It's going to have alloy scooter wheels, and disc brakes front and rear.
Along with uprated shocks, and some proper oil filled USD forks.
I am dubious about the frame it's self.
That Zonger 155 engine I have produces maybe 17/18hp in it's current state of tune.

Depends how reliable the 17hp is.

For what I want, the power of this is fine - But then I fairly often have weekends away on it, I know that it will just carry on plodding along.

It's still nearly double the bhp of the original 69cc Laughing

I know what you mean and I have been an advocate of tiddlers for a long while.
All the more strange when you think that I want my tiddler bike to haul all 6`4" 17stone of me?? Shocked .
I to have a bigger bike in the garage in case I need to fly some-where at light speed, but still find myself drawn to my diddy bikes?
I have a CG 125 of lovelyness in the garage and it had a lot more use than the Kawasaki (ZX6r) last summer?.
I also had a Sachs xtc 125 last summer and that went all over Suffolk without missing a beat once it was sorted.

This year because of my fatness, I have moved up to a 250 as my tiddler bike.
for me 250 = small enough to be a challenge and big enough to pull me along.

Long live the smaller engined bikes Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Smile
