depends on which one you get....yx or gpx engines are good if you go big cc's....ive seen people beat on 140cc engines and 140cc's with BBK's that make them 160cc or so....or you can just do it big and get a 180cc


midbikenation.com would help yall decide which one you want the main thing is to get the engines that have 4 up gears. You dont want the ones with 1 down 3 up


my 110cc engine in my lil stunter is a mufuggin beast even after 7 years. I do rollers on the street with the engine screaming and it just wants more

just curious, whats the benefit if having the 4 up gears rather than the 1 down 3 up?

yup... lifan 110 for 4 years now... beat the hell out of it all the time with no problems.

it's a pitbike... there really is no "benefit"... just how the gearbox is set up

the benefit is not as many problems with the 4 up setups ive seen problems on the 1 down 3 up versions

I just bought a brand new 50cc lifan motor. all black for 50$
This guy has another one for 50$ if someone wants it just pay for shipping and the 50$.

Got all new plastics, new motor and powdercoating everything else.
Bike is gonna be brand new when done

I had a lifan 140 for a few months. Thing was fast.. Didn't have it long enough to tell how reliable it is.. miss that bike though!

[beul]

i am not saying that a bigger engine than 125 give you problems, but a lot of guys i know have problems with the big lifan engine's (and all the lifans i know are all gears upp 4 gears) all the time the crackshaft dies.. just saying..
but i also know 1 guy who destroyd a 125cc engine.. so its also luck or nonluck..

This was a yx 150 and the crank exploded! I think the 125 is by far the biggest you need in a mini stunter!
