72 or 88 kit whats better for stunting a 50
?? what da yall think in trying to decide on what to get ive ridden the 72 and its got great power compared to stock its a 2nd gear machine. I wann know it the 88 is to touchy for slow stuff or circles or does it help. also what else needs to be done to the 50 if i ffif an 88
I would say the 88. I have never ridden a 72 but that would probably be a good choice too. I have the 88 on my 50 and it was touchy at first but now I am use to it and I love it it has great power and a lot of engine brake.

I have a 108 and I don't use race gas in my fully built race motor.

You can gear it with sprockets and get some of the throttle twitchyness to go away . Plus you will make more useable power in 1st , 2nd , and 3rd gear . Alot of people like a 15 - 34 sprocket gear setup on big bore kits

Subsequently your motor will run like **** on pump gas because it'll detonate unless you run it rich as hell or pull timing and make **** power without race gas. It's ****ing retarded to say because my motor is this size it needs race gas or not too, it's all dictated by the dynamic compression ratio and combustion chamber design.

Again robbie thinking anyone cares what he says.
Anyways I loved my 72 for stunting but the TB light bore 88 kit is almost the same, gear down with it and either one is perfect in my opinion. I get all my **** from fab5fiddy hes the man when it comes to 50 stuff. If you run just the TB light 88 you only need to run 92 octane in it.

I run the biggest motor on this site (honda, not knock off)
I have also been riding these things longer than any of you.
How you think you know what you are talking about I will never know.
Carry on...

i'd say 88 kit..
once you get used to the power, you'l just want even more!
lol
I got a stage 3 88 kit with race head, and a 4 speed tranmission.. At first I was running 15/30 gearing, but it was way to long.. Now im on 12/30 gearing.. And I even tried 12/37 gearing for fun the other day and it was still VERY stuntable....
So if my chicken *** can stunt a stage 3 88 with 12/37 gearing, anyone can stunt a stage 3 88 with stock or longer gears..

towliee...that is very interesting what you are running.
12/30 is the same as 14/37
so basicly you are stock..lol
seems like you wasted a bunch of money.

no, I got the 12 tooth sprocket for free....
And I only have a 12 tooth, and 15 tooth for my 4 speed tranny
I got the rear 30t at the begining, then when I got hte 4 speed tranny I needed a sprocket keeper (the thing that holds it on) and I found a ebay auction with a 12t sprocket with keeper.. so I won it and had a extra sprocket
Anyways, 12/30 is slightly longer then 14/37, but not much
edit: I used to love the long gearing, 15/30 was awsome on the street.. But on slow tight circles it was just way to long in 1st, the bike would bog cause it was soo low.

its you're correct 
anyhow..its all about what you like anyhow.
i run 16/37 and can do 0's in a 2 foot radius at 1.2mph on a 108 stroker honda....
have fun!

dont need any of that **** to stunt... im stock front 37rear and only thing i cant do is unicycles, but that has nothing to do with motor. if you plan on racing also do the motor hop-up, but if you just want to stunt... leave it stock, maybe play with the gearing.

Before you go and start name calling there are different 88cc kits out there and the high compression race ones recommend race gas.
