I ride the hell out of mine every weekend, no issues!

 

What have you done to the bike? How's the bike right out of the crate? Does it compare to your v3?

 

It's a great bike, I've never had a problem with it and I ride the hell out of it. I have a little over 60 hard hrs on it and still runs great. The bike handles really good, stops really good, the front is a little soft and the rear is a little hard. It would be perfect if the front was as stiff as the rear but it's not bad. One thing that is better then the BBR's is the leg room, it feels like it has way more then my V2 and V3. All in all its a great bike and I don't see her leaving my hands any time soon.

 

Feel has stiffer springs that you can order to help with the front end.

 

Nice bike built tuff, Great motor Good price as well. As with everything you must maintain the maintenance to acheive the performance. The 190 motor has whicked power and build to last out of box. A well tuned 190 will start within 1 or 2 half kicks..Although I am trying out the Pister w/ the 190 motor now I've owned 3 Piranha's just over 1yr never anything out of the ordinary has ever went wrong. :biggthumpup:

 

thanks guys, any more input would be great!

 

For the price you can't buy a better pit bike...We have been racing the Piranha's for more than 6 years and the Pit Bike Junkie race team has more State Champion titles than any other team (12 in all in Amateur, Vet & Pro classes)...Excellent handling with the perimeter frame, awesome suspension & a fire-breathing 20hp Daytona 190cc motor!...Buy one, you'll be glad you did!

 

Ordered a 190! Lets see some pictures!

 

+1 on that ordered one aswell

 

Working on it, If my bikes all dialed and can get off work then I will be there

 

This is my 190

You'll be happy you got it, great bike can't go wrong.

 

Going to change out the fish oil out of the forks on the bike, what weight do you think I should go with? I'm weighing around 190-195 right now but will be cutting back down to 180 pretty soon. So would like to be set up for the 180lbs.

 

7wt oil. 180cc of oil. Flip the forks upside down for a couple of days to get all the oil out....if your not going to take them apart

jim can you post a picture of how they come in the box? trying to get an idea on how much assembly is needed jack told me to be prepared to do some work

 

That bike looks great! And do you think 7w is thick enough? Just wanna make sure they aren't springy

 

I go off of marzocchi manual. They want 5wt with oil level at 90mm from the top (comes out to 195cc of oil spring out). The thicker weight oil will make the last 1/3 of fork travel stiffer. I said 180cc (which is the low side) because its easier to add oil then remove oil. I ran that in my forks for a while when i was 190-200 and it was a smooth ride.

 

Here one I found online

 

Jut got my 190 took it all apart greased and lock tight everything. Now doing the oil change. Is there any special way I need to go about doing the oil changes ? Just change the oil and filter ? Also what is this lead too( pic attached. Right under the shifter thank you

 

That is your oil screen like the crf50 has, clean that out to when you do your oil, I like to blow air threw my oil cooler to make sure I get was much oil out as I can. I put a little notch in my oil filter cap to make it easier to get off for next time. Good luck and you'll be happy you got it.

 

Love this bike but a little upset with the footpegs (need to grind them to sit right) foot break feels really cheap and the bars and bar pad are very cheap; also think they could have done a little better welds on the frame too. But still very happy with the bike and can't wait to get it on the trAck.

 

That sucks about the pegs, I guess I was lucky on that, the foot pedal is made of steel, I did bend it but it did hit a huge rock. The bars are solid I'm still running the stock ones and I've seen my bike kart wheel about 20 times down a mountain " last time I let some ride it". The welds could be better but I haven't had any brake or crack and I'm not easy on her.

 

A klx110 brake lever return spring makes the brake pedal almost rock solid.

 

Already have an hour on the motor as of right now. Should be taking it out Sunday if everything goes as planned!

 

How's the power bro? Too much?

 

Is there any way to raise the back end up, so it doesn't sag? It seems most of the mini bikes are designed with the rear end sagging. It's strange to me.

Here's an example.

 

You can tighten up the shock spring move the lock nuts down but if it sagging an 1-2" your gonna need an extender

 

Nick I haven't ridden it yet just putting some time on the motor to break her in easy

nameless- X2 on the shock extender or low the front forks some

 

Or you could raise the front end up into the clamps a little bit to level it out

 

Have you just been running the motor at idle to break it in? To properly break it in your should be riding it to put the motor under load to properly seat the rings.
here is link worth reading on the topic

It seems that all pit bikes sag 2 inches too low, right from the manufacturer. I'll have to look into those extenders. Thanks for the tip!

 

I wouldnt run one of the extenders on that style swingarm, doubt it would handle well and it might make it sit like a stinkbug haha
