I am sooooo far over my head. First thing I did when I got home was try to start it. Ended up yanking the pull-rope off. Now I can't position the spring correctly in it to get the damn thing back together.

*googling pullstart thingies now.

Alright. Got one running. Amazing that 97cc has no power. ddog

The other one I fixed the recoil starter (that sucked, lol) . Lots of swearing and yelling at the wife. Don't see how she puts up with me. Will probably end up taking that one completely apart to clean, oil and all that. Swap and do the same. Oil looks like it has never been changed. Can't do anything with them now since my son is home.

Here's the only pic so far. Looks like I probably won't be "destroying" one of them myself since I weigh WAY to much for them.

I had just enough money to by a sweet new set of grips for a crappy bmx bike. Advice, Help, or - Page 2 84165

Don't let your kid do this, and put a little more protective gear on than I had. One of my nine lives...

You'll have a blast with your new toys, we just returned from camping and flying powered parachutes down on a dry lake bed in OR and the minibikes got a good work out for sure. I didn't have time to get my 6.5hp engine on mine before we left but it will be on soon now that we're back. The 6.5hp engine is Sooooo much nicer to ride. I'm going with the Harbor Frieght honda clone engine on mine, I've read a lot of reviews and they are holding up great, on sale at $109 new!

Check out this link for TONS of info on the DB30 Minibikes: CLICK HERE

Here's a couple shots of us out on the Playa.

Started off with the wife just taking over, LOL. There they go before the kids could take the mini's

I filled up one bike but not the other. No wonder they were gone for 1/2hour. oops.

Started raining later. That didn't stop some.

Fireworks, alcohol, and minibikes...fun. (well, at least the kids were kinda safe)

Everything went good until one of the kids(along with an adult) decided to go down one of the main roads. It's got a big gravel shoulder/sidewalk and the speed limit is only 25mph cause of the school...but Kirklands Finest didn't like it. Shut us down. hahaha
