I've got two 88's with 16t/34t for the street that run great. Also a Z50 with a Lifan 110 4-spd. man. w/ the 114 kit 16t/32t from TB on it. Also runs well.

Is that a 6V Z50 engine with an 88cc kit? What's the top speed like?

Find a used 12V CRF 50 motor that has some tuning parts invested in it and go from there. Ive seen some 108s with clutches go for next to nothing. all they need to convert to road use is a stator thats setup to run a lighting system.

No, CRF50 motor w/ light. coil. Top speed with me 6'2" 225 is about 52mph.

get a lifan 150 or yx160 they are fast

cdoublejj · 11-07-2008, 02:28 PM

yeah but you can break the gears kick starting them if there not at tdc or what ever.

i was looking at a tb88cc bore kit with race head but it says that you have to run an after market throttle i was wondering if anyone has installed the 88 bore kit and still been able to run the standard throttle

I'd luv to get one for next to nothing or even $150 or more. Got any leads?

That's pretty good man. 53MPH is probably max for 8" rims and drum brakes.
