I copied this thread from another site as requested by a member that is interested in this bike. He wanted some action from the users on this site.



Again let me state that I have only had this bike for two weeks or so.

Take my comments with a grain of salt. I'll have a more experience with it in a few weeks.



I'm still waiting for my tag from FL so I can get some distance from my cabin in WNC legally.



I secured the Walmart ATV pad better by putting it under the passenger grab strap. The pad seems to help and sits me up higher by about an 1/2 inch.

 

Re: Pitster Pro Classic 125 Experience (now called the PPC125)

Had a PM from a fellow inmate requesting some additional pictures of the PPC125 ( he suggested the PPC125 name).

Headlight area.

Fuel tank area. Note the neat billet gas cap.

Carb area.

Walmart Stearns ATV pad under the seat strap.

Magnetic drain plug drilled for safety wire.

Headed to the Dragon as soon as I get my real legal tag and the rain stops.

 

Gary G. from Pitster sent a parts listing for the PPC125 and I found that the fuel tanks holds 5.5liters or 1.45gallons (wow). Do I smell a road trip?

Gary, Thanks for the list and does Pitster sell the neat Zhenhua accessories?

 

Got my Classic 125 today, its a black one with a manual clutch.



When I pulled into the drive way of the place I picked it up from, the red one sitting in the garage stood out and the fenders shined...guess you had to be there.



So anyways, I looked the bike over pretty good and looked close at the points of intrest of possible failure points...like alot of you, I have come to learn where the problem areas are on pitbikes.



I seen a few things that I would change BUT, all in all, this thing is built well...damn near a perfect copy of the CT really other then the fork rake.



I test rode it where I bought it, then rode it a few miles at home. First thing this bike needs is a good chain put on it.



Second thing would be a larger front sprocket and a smaller rear.



Third would be a set of larger road tires, the tires that are on it are fine but abit small.



Now for me, the most important thing is the engine. I want it to last and hold up. So I can not give a review on this part yet but I will update soon.



Tranny 1-N-2-3-4 and the neutral is easy to find so that a plus. Tranny feels tight and smooth. Still has break in oil in it and engine needs to be broke in more before really opening it up. I went though all the gears and got the bike upto 60MPH, then backed off fast.



It did not take long to get it there either, I was impressed and pleased.



I was worried the front forks would be stiff but they are very plush, very pleased in that area too.



Seat is comfy but we will give that time,lol. Some hardware could use a better grade but meh, par for the course.



This review is far from being a good one as I have not had it long enough to give a honest one yet.



So far, Im happy with it, much better then I EVER thought it would be.



More to come later.

 

Grafixxs,

Congrats on your PPC125. I'm up to 120 gravel road kms on mine but still waiting on the tag from FL before I hit the hard pavement. My 120/90-10 Kendra K761 dual sport tires should be here soon.

 

Looks sweet Grafixxs. Wished I could have came by and greeted ya. The wife cars acting up and trying to get things accomplished so I can go with Terry to the Brawl this weekend.

Bring it to the brawl this weekend so we can cruise around the pits....

BTW...Terry give ya some Pitster decals for your truck...

 

well...damn near a perfect copy of the CT really other then the fork rake.

You mean Pitster actually copied something??? Say it isn't so!! :shhh:

what ya do with that??

 

clean your colon...

 

I'm curious to know if you fellas think the front forks are stout enough. I'm going to run the front end on my CT70 and was going to put some 15wt in them straight away

 

He's married to a Mexican, BW, his colon's clean



Forks are plenty stiff, unless you plan hittin' the doubles.

 

The front forks are perfect as is for the road and light trail riding.



Yeah Black, I wanted to meet ya but Terry said you were grounded? LOL



I think I mighted scared Terry with this suprise attack...

Looks like you may have caused his big azz left breast to lactate.

What spockets will fit this bike?



Is the fork rake a problem? If so, is there a easy way to fix it?

 

Not sure on the sprockets yet, I going to go look now. I know the front is the older style course spline.



The rake is not a problem at all, Im just not use to it yet.

 

Ok, there are no sprockets on Pitsters web site for it but according to what the Classic parts list says, the CT70 parts will fit.



The CT70 rear sprocket will not fit but it looks like the CT70 front will. I found 17 tooth at Dratv.com but they are temp out of stock, go figure.



I will prolly just make my own rear sprocket out of stainless steel.



Was told the current front is a 16 but not solid for sure on that.

 

420 17 all over ebay..usually around $12-$15 shipped depending who you go with...

 

I seem to have a problem with my PPC125 running the carb dry which causes the engine to stall going up my long steep rough driveway here in WNC.



I usually pull the driveway is second gear. This has happened several times.



No fuel in the clear filter that I added between the fuel valve and the carb. I thought it was still getting stopped up by the plastic bits in the tank but I'm not so sure now.



I drained the tank to clean it again and had about a gallon of fuel in the tank. Is this a CT70 problem because of the way the tank is so low in the bike?



I'll give it a try tomorrow to see if the problem repeats.



Another related thing that worries me. There are very tiny brass tubes inside the plastic tank outlets. I might remove the brass tube insert in the reserve outlet since it is not needed. The non reserve side stick up in the tank which I would like to keep in order to have a reserve.

Could it be the hole in the gas cap breather is not open enough or at all?
