Anyone else got one of these things? Are there restrictors in the exhaust or intake? I've had it 2 days and already been looking for a little more power out of it. Anyone do anything with the hand brakes to make them more kid friendly?

 

A K&N clamp on filter makes a big difference. I dont have the part number off hand but I can look for it. The stock filters on these are junk. Make sure you change the oil with a good motorcycle oil made for wet clutches. Regular oils have detergents in them and can cause premature clutch wear. Have not done anything with the brakes. I know some have heated the handles up and bent them closer the the bars so the kids can grab them easier. Make sure every once in a while you go over all the major nuts and bolts. They will loosen up unless you lock tite them. Suspension, motor steering etc...

 

thanks for the tips 2manytoys. I can see through the side of the plug at the bottom of the airbox too. I figured that I would get a different type of air filter for it. I also noticed that this thing floods out way easy. once it is running it starts fine but cold is a fiasco. I had to put the battery on the charger because I wore it down trying to start it. I ended up pulling out the plug and cleaning it out and blowing a bit of air into the plug hole to dry it out. Started right up then. Is there a trick to starting them. I haven't even touched the choke yet.

 

just beware, changing the airfilter increases the airflow you may need to rejet.

 

Thanks Bill. That's pretty much internal combustion 101. Any advise on the hard cold starts though? Right now I give it about 1/2 throttle to start it when it's warmed up. Cold though it wont do it. When I pull out the plug it is soaked with gas. We are just holding it at 1/2 and not feathering it. So I haven't tried the choke yet.
