7 Best Upgrades/Mods For PIT BIKES

[@TEKKYTWO]

Great video again! The suspension and tyres seem to be a great upgrade choice. I can just image the difference it would make to the overall riding experience 👌

[@motomachinezuk8786]

Definatelty best upgrades, I want same for 190 but can't find long enough shock unless I use a link. Wont be as effective so will keep looking. Ordered the shifter you recommended looks a good shape. Cheers bud 👍

[@tomtom7776666]

Great vid mate and your right about the standard bars, one fall and my bars are bent so think the pro tapers are my next set and the wheels and tires lol and suspension so as soon as Xmas is over it’s time to spend some money on the 170 and the 190

[@motomachinezuk8786]

They're not great original 1s compared to a decent set. Cant believe the abuse mine have taken and still straight. Same here got some cosmetics and a few bits and bobs to do to 190 once I've ridden it again to confirm fixed. 3rd time lucky. I'm 190 I want to get rid off wpb on it. Looked for a shock but can't find good 1 that long yet

[@ratdad48]

I agree with the tires and shocks. As for the other, I avoid running my bike into trees! And I've learned how to stay on top of my bike.

[@traehodges3796]

Do you think ttr 110 plastics would fit that particular bike they look to be of ttr 110cc style

[@speedyboi349]

My pitster is a peace moto 125cc The best mods I have done is a carb swap for a bigger carb with fuel or air adjustments and a rear chock that has more sag adjustments or just over all better quality and the ability to be stiffer than stock ones It allowed me to have more power in general and way better agility in jumps and corners Other mods I did were better grips Exhaust swap for a silencer thats similar to an fmf one and put a spacer to get it father from the tire. Often pit bikes have the silencer sitting almost on top of the tire and when the suspension compresses it can get hit by the tire Specific bolts like the ones that hold your handle bars or the exhaust heather the rest were fine

Would you mind throwing up links for us?

[@2sik_UK]

Bike noob here, can you ride in the rain without problem on a put bike or is it best to get a airbox or something?

[@motomachinezuk8786]

If the pit bike air filter gets too wet it will make the bike run rubbish. Depends how wet it gets. If consistently riding in the rain I would probably consider one of those options

[@harryedwards9763]

Are the demon x worth it looking at the 140 or 125 wpb or 125 m2r what do you think the best one is?

[@jakebrowne4368]

125 m2r all the way

[@Jtm7708]

What’s your preferred pit bike brand? I’ve heard good things about Ssr but I just wanted the insight of a professional.

[@motomachinezuk8786]

Ssr we don't get in the UK but same as stomp know as super stomp race . Dependent on budget. Bbr are top dogs I hear and bucci but way more expensive.

[@esskiahastings7974]

what shock did you use i have a apollo 18 with stock shock and its horrible. did you have to change the fork to get it to work? please get back with me thanks .

[@motomachinezuk8786]

I used a dnm 295mm hornet. It completely changed the bike upgrading the shock. Will work better combined with front forks but massive difference just on its own.

[@Pitbike_Ginge]

hi i have a 140cc welsh pit bike iv recently fitted a 1/4 nibbi throttle but now iv noticed if i blip the throttle from idle or go straight to wide open the bike goes to die. iv tried to adjust the air/fuel screw and tried all possible needle positions with no joy other than this the bike starts, idles and rides fine any ideas ? iv looked at a nibbi 26mmPE but im not sure if this is this issue ?

[@williamwhitehouse8214]

Hey I just picked up a 125 stomp pit bike. What air filter do you recommend me getting?

[@motomachinezuk8786]

Hey the uni air filters are good and the 1s ooracing co.uk do on line They work for me off road better than stock ones. If road riding then there are probably better options 🤷 Hope this helps

Would a aftermarket pit bike fork fit on a sur ron ? Someone put a yz 85 fork on his sur Ron but it added over 10lbs. And looks to big

Possibly but they wouldn't be as good as a Japanese bikes front end. Kx65 I've seen people use the front end, brakes also but they've all got the upgraded controller and battery so weight not an issue so much I suppose ? Good thinking tho

[@johnspeirs525]

Great video do you prefer riding the pit bikes over the bigger motorcross bikes ??

[@motomachinezuk8786]

I wouldn't say I prefer but very much enjoy the smaller displacement engines and suit the terrain and few areas I can ride local. Big bikes if I had the land and terrain plus people to ride with. Pit bikes feel safer on my own and they are cheap and cheerful aswell as they don't damage the riding areas in winter so I don't get moaned at lol. I enjoy all 2 wheeled machines even a 50cc scotter puts a smile on my face and thats why I ride. Love the motocross stuff but been difficult to ride this year and fill appetite

At what point should you have bought a better pit bike ? Or just moved up to a used dirt bike ? You can get a decent dirt bike for 2000-2500 I’d be hesitant to spend over 13-1400 total on a Chinese bike .

[@motomachinezuk8786]

That is a good question. I also ride a 250 4 stroke as main bike but pit bike works so well on the land I can ride, often in the woods it's quite small and tight so the pitty works perfect and I feel safer riding alone on smaller bike. So for me I feel its the best and most fun choice for where I can ride on private land. To be fair I know what you mean, I just find easy to just jump on whenever I want and go local without having to look after it like I do my 250. Great fun also 👌 You don't get much for 2 to 2.5k now and if you get a problem or needs a rebuild that could be another 1000 easy. Especially when putting on lots of hours as they require more vigorous maintenance.
