TDR 125cc Dirt Bike AX Review

The TDR 125cc Dirt Bike AX can be found on ebay Australia. The seller is asonlinepowerseller. I am reviewing this particular bike because it's the most popular model ever sold. When I say most popular model in the context of type of bike it is and parts on the bike. TDR 125cc Dirt Bike AX just happens to be the brand name they called this bike.

Upon reviewing, riding, testing this bike is purely for the beginner. The parts are produced to fit the purpose so to speak. It has a standard single tube frame which will bend on impact if you are over 100kg and atempt a 20ft jump. Ok why would any one trust this $599 Chinese special which looks likes the frame has been built from recycled car boddies and the rims from aluminium cans never the less it is what it is.

Everything on this bike is produced cheap but fro a reason. The forks standard issue conventional forks which are actually really reliable just if you put on lot of weight on them they become too soft. The Rims steelies. Nothing fancy they do the job. Hydraulic disks brakes front and rear. I remember when disk brakes on a dirt bike were the shit. Bike like cars hey, everything is pwr this and pwr that standard issue.

Probably the best part of the bike is the engine. The trusty ole Ducar "aka Honda Copy". The again what haven't the Chinese copied from Honda. The Ducar engines only fawl is it has a small piston. It can over heat and melt in the barrel but that if you flogg the living f*ck out of it. How do I know this because I done it. LOL. I prefer the Lifan engines they gave me less grief. Much of a muchness. 4 down gear box the go less jamming and stripping of 2nd gear in the 1 down, 3 up boxes. Pretty much the 1 down 3 up gear boxes are old school and fazed out because of the 2nd gear problem.

Wow the sticker kit just blows me away. Such creativity. In all the bike is a starter. It will last 12-18months if treat it well. Do the regular oil changes once a month and you'll get ya whole $599 worth out of this little puppy.

But one, Thrash it , then post your comments. Peace..

Atomik Reign Bigfoot 140cc Review

This bike is possibly the best 140cc Pit bike on eBay Australia for price and quality hands down. I'm not just endorsing this bike because I like it but I've bought and tested many bikes and this still stacks up to be the best 140cc bike on the market period.

The Atomik Reign Bigfoot is basically like a Atomik Nitrous but with bigger wheels, 14inch at rear and 17inch on the front. The look and feel of the trellis KLX style frame when riding feels well balanced and conforable. It's great ofr tall teens and adults too. It can hold up too 100kg just with a upgraded rear shock you can make it stiffer at the rear.

The overall quality is what I really like. The workmanship gone into the frame and other components speak for themselves.I mean just by looking at the bike you can tell it will cop and flogging and then some. It will last the test of time compare to other eBay models out there.

I want to talk about the engine. The YX 140cc engine needs no introduction. This engine has proved itself again and again and it's lived up to the challenge. Personally I have flogged a YX engine to the ground untill it literally died. I gave this thing hell and back. I'm taking burning out brand new Carlsbad tyres from new on the concrete for fun to non stop 12hrs hard of riding up hills and in water. (water definately a no no). I also like the Lifan engine. Much the same but sligthly different internals.

One thing I don't about the Atomik Reign Bigfoot is the front suspension setup. others have the same opinion. when jumping the bike on large jumps the fron 17inch tyre will hit the bash plate because the forks compress and because of the load and stresses the forks are not heavy duty enough. This occurs if the rider is too heavry (over 80kg) or the bike is jump over 10ft in the as a rough estimate give or take). The front forks need to be upgraded. You can replace the oil with thicker oil. If you don't want to upgrade the forks which will cost you anywhere from $800-$250 depending on the quality, go to a Dirt bike suspension specialist and theu will replace the spacers in the forks with better ones. This does exactly the same thing.

I would definately replace rear with a chunkier Carslbad tyre. It will tend to slide in the gravel quite easy if your going hard. The Carlsbad grips like a b*tch excuse my french. Other small mods off the bat are Uni filter upgrade  cost you about $30, better grips for comfort, upgrade your chain for a japanese chain. Infact I would do this first over another other small mod. Last thing you want is going riding for a day and having to wheel you bike back for kilometers because your chain snapped in the bush.


The fuel tank looks smaller than the CRF style tank which is higher and wider but the KLX style tank for the Atomik Reign Bigfoot is set into the frame an there is alot of depth and volume for fuel it just looks deceptive.

The faring and new deal design is very motocrossis. It's what the kids want. The white and blue combination is very asfeticlly pleasing to the eye. besides chicks dig the looks. It's all about the looks. People buy this bike because it looks sic I rekon.

If you want a relieable Mini Dirt bike which will last years and give you miniimal greif I highly recommend the Atomik Reign Bigfoot. You can find them on eBay Australia under Trail Bikes>Other.

Thanks for reading this review. Subscribe for more reviews in the furture.


 

49cc 2 stroke Mini Dirt Bike Review - Ideal Starter Bike or Death Trap

Everyone into Mini Bikes or starting out at some point in time would have come across the 49cc stroke Mini Dirt bike either on ebay or your Local Trusted Mini Bike seller (LoL). You know the ones that look cheap and nasty with the whipper snipper motor and expanded cheap chrome exhaust pipe. These little suckers are like Crane Toads (A introduced pest in Qld in the early century used to elimiate cane toad beattles but over populated out of control) they are in every backyard, in every tool shed it's like every man and his dog had one.


Why did people buy these things. Very simple, they are cheap as chips. I mean the chinese pumped these things out like hot cakes. When they first came out in the market they sold like HOT CAKES. We had never seen something like that before. How can they make it so cheap with a 2 stroke enegine , frame, off road ttres. It looked , felt and sounded like a real dirt bike but 1/8 of the price of a jappa. Even today people still buy them. They are still on eBay selling. I don't think people really care of the quality. The frames are knocked up in 2 mins. A few spot welds here and there and the cheap recycled mild steel frame is good to go. Slap on some grey under coat and that's your rust protection..lol


Good Points (I'm struggling here)

• Cheap as chips
• Excellent for starter rider
• Low maintenance, suprisingly quite reliable engine if looked after
• Tank of fuel last 4-6hrs. (100km seriously)
• Parts cheap, clutches, tyres all can be found on eBay for dollars
• Good hobby to start very low cost (build a race track get a few mates together)
• Throw away ite. Easier to replace than repair for non techies

Bad Points (hmmm)

•  Cheap construction
•  Cheap material used
•  No regualated by government so poor workmanship used
•  Throw away item
•  Built by unskilled cheap labour force
•  Cluches wear fast under heavy loads or up hills.
•  2 stroke motor must be well maintained or frequent problems will occur
•  3-6 months life span if no maintaince

Don't knock them before you try it. Check them out on eBay if your son or daughter wants a cheap 50cc 2 stroke starter bike for about $200 bucks (a days work for Dad) your child can enjoy the wonders dirt bike riding. Check out eBay

Best Reputable Mini Dirt bike Sellers on eBay Australia (updated March 2010)

I've been the in the Mini Dirt bike game for many years. Now I don't do so much I prefer
to build my Internet and website business because the returns are much higher and
overheads lower compared to a traditional business.

Never the less what I can say is back in the glory days when Mini Bikes were hotter than
Elle MAcPherson wearing a G-string there was more demand than supply.

As several months pasted many sellers got on the band wagon. Some 5-6 years later those
sellers (my competitors at the time) are still selling Mini Bikes. For them to stick around
so long they are either picking up the scraps or extremely stupid.

Either way these sellers have lived through thee glory days and now not making as much
profit but have established themselves as trustworthy Powersellers on eBay.

These reputable Sellers (I recommend any of the below) are as follows.

1. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/pockrock88/ Positive Feedback: 99.0%
Feedback score: 23150

2. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/asonlinepowerseller/ Positive Feedback: 99.7%
Feedback score: 22862

3. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/no1-importer/ Positive Feedback: 99.7%

4. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/onlinebikesnbits/ Positive Feedback: 99.5%
Feedback score: 3043

5. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/cob_and_co/ Positive Feedback: 99.5%
Feedback score: 4909

All these sellers of mini bikes have been importing for 3-4+ years and are trustworthy
sellers. I know them personally and have purchased goods from them in volume in the past.

Good luck bidding

The Truth about Pit Pro Dirt Bikes !!

Today I am going to talk about Pit Pro Dirt bikes.

(Note: I am note affiliated or paided by Pitpro in anyway way)

I'm just going to call it how I see it.



If you go on eBay Australia and search

# Home >
# Buy >
# Cars, Bikes, Boats >
# Motorcycles >
# Trail Bikes >
# Other Trail Bikes>

You'll come across the Chinese Dirt bikes for sale. The Pit Pro Dirt bikes,
AKA. MOTOVERT's lower end range just under a different brand but owned buy
the same company, have been on ebay for several years now. I don't know
the exact time frame but and guessing 3+ years.

What I like about the Pit Pro Range is they come from a reputable Chinese
supplier that has been manufacturing Pit Bikes for as long as the late 90's.
The whole range from 50cc to 160cc are from one Supplier so the quality
is consistant.

The new XR range caught in eye in particular although I have been watching
them for quite some time the minor problems which we nortorious with Pit bikes
like Frames breaking , Rims despokeing, Fork Seal bursting are a thing of the
past.

The XR range is like buying a Hamburger with the Lot. It already equipped
with indestrutcable Trellis frame, Kenda Tyres, sports Pro Curcuit replica
exhaust, Massive 160cc monster output engine, Alloy swing arm and decent
plastics & graphics. It's a impressive looking bike on the showroom and
attracts attention. The only thing it needs is decent Japanese chain and
probably a set of Pro Tapers and your good to race.

I liked the bike so much bought several of them. They ride nice but what
amazed me the most was how much power the 160cc engine can produce. It sets you
back as you try to hold on the handle bars going forward from 2nd, 3rd, and
4th gears very quickly. The 160cc engine runs a lightned fly wheel. It spins
up very quickly because it doesn't have a large magneto to spin. There's hardly
any weight so the throttle response is instant bit like a 2 stroke engine but
without the annoying lawn mover high pitch sound. The throttle can be tricky
if your a novice as you need to keep the revs up or you can easily stall the
engine if you in the thick stuff.

The XR range for internmediate buyer prepared to spend $1600+. I say to all
those who are interested in Pit bike riding it doesn't come better than this
bike, for the features this bike has the price is a bargain in my opinion. It
won't break on you in the first week...lol


Happy and Safe Riding..

Kids Riding Unregisted Pit Bikes in Urban Environments Attacting a Lot of Attention

It's a alarming trend that kids are riding unregistered Pit Bikes in urban environments which is attracting alot of attention by concerned parents and the police. In my local town kids don't seem to care where they ride Pit bikes on the main street.

Anywhere and everywhere they ride there bikes evading the police to enjoy the thrill of bike riding but at what cost to them and what cost to society. In my local town they do sell registered pit bikes but to ride one you have to have a bike license so your pretty much a motorcyclist on the road. Kids who ride pit bikes are under aged, don't have any sense of road rules and don't have a motorcycle license. To them riding a bike is a way to having fun. Why they rid on the streets is there's no where else to ride. 85% of the time people get upset because of the noise the bikes make.I bet everyone has heard in some point in time a screaming motorbike tearing down the street. Then you look outside its a young kid on a off road dirt bike with out helmet and safety gear.

Not all the blame can be put on the kids. Kids are kids if don't have a place to ride they will ride anywhere they think they can get away with it. Society and local councils have to share some blame in the growing problem. It's a matter of time until we see young kids getting killed on the roads like we saw with stand up petrol scooters . Bikes are dangerous and riding unregistered with no insurance is suicide.

How do we fix the problem is by providing community awareness, education, rider safety courses and build tracks for the kids to ride so they stay off the road. Local members of parliament need to step up and address these issues with there local communities. With that said local councils need to spend money on infrastructure. The community also need to do there part with parents discipline they're kids instead of the police doing it.

Without the joint efforts of Government and society the problem won't go way.

Pit Bike Horsepower- Increase Your Pit Bike Horsepower 20% by Just Doing 3 Simple Things

We bought 2 parts which we will bolt on and replace the original parts with.

First thing you need to buy is a iridium Spark plug. This little bad boy is amazing.

It basically super charges your spark so your bike will fire allot easier and with

more bite. In fact you can test it buy taking the spark plug out of the engine and

holding it about 5cm away and kick the bike. The current will jump and still ignite the

coil. You will see a blue lightning bolt. Its cool and this type of spark plug is your

secret weapon. Cost is about $10 but its worth every cent.

The Second mod you will need is a Uni Filter. Throw the standard pod filter away and buy a

Uni filter. This a the best brand in the market and is washable. Make sure you oil it

up with Filter oil so dirt does not get into your engine. The uni filter must have the

same diameter mouth so it will fit onto your original carburetter.

Thirdly and probably the mod that gives you the most back for your buck but cost you nothing

just some elbow grease is grinding or porting your exhaust flange. This step is highly

under estimated. The factory exhaust system is probably cheap but it doesn't matter. You don't

need a after market exhaust. Undo the bottom bolts of the exhaust. Where the flange ends

is where they weld it to the exhaust itself. Inside this section you want to and port

(car term) or smooth out with a die grinder. After your finish run your finger inside the

exhaust inlet and it should feel smooth. Its a finicky process and time consuming but

trust me its worth the effort. Make sure now shaving go back into your engine buy cleaning

the exhaust before re bolting on. You make need use a new copper flange (kind of like O-ring

but copper) if your bike is old you will need to replace it.

Your done. You now have better spark. You now have a aftermarket pod filter so your engine

will breathe allot freer and also sound better and you have a hi-flowing exhaust system.

Try it today and you will see overall response in rev range much quicker, smoother take off

and less crackles in top end.
