Is it possible to be on a "big ride" if what you're riding is a bicycle with a roached motor duct taped to the frame?

It's actually the forth engine to go onto this beast of a bike mate and I didn't think you could blow up one of these endure engines Hance why the KTM 50cc cost $6000 cheapest to leave the shop door.

That said, these are used in some mopeds, so application-wise it may not be that far off.
Unlike the OP, who’s VERY far off...

Sorry to hear about your engine troubles, I don’t have any helpful information on how to fix it, but I hope you get your bike running again soon and go back to having fun with it.
The way I see it is that we all have different types of riding we enjoy, and/or have the funds for, that’s why there’s an ass for every seat more or less!

Does it use reeds? If so, perhaps they are gone.

I think you need to go with a different colour powerband.

The engine sized before you got shot by your neighbours, lucky you !

Anyway, WTH is that, I don't know if it is just trolling as it can be a craiglist's special.

1. A good silencer is a must when you ride near families etc, i don't know the aussie or american saying but think about something along those lines : "freedom stops when it bothers the freedom of others" (i.e. babies, barbecue, homework, family and kids indoor and outdoor activities etc).

2. Don't hurt yourself with this, at least wear a full face helmet because that is gonna hurt not if but when you will eat it ...

3. Try a BMX track or some skatepark (if it is not too noisy otherwise 100% chances they will kick you out too), because here it may be more fun and build more skills than bothering the neighbours.

Contact Terry Varner to "fix" your motor.
