So instead of posting a million topics for separate issues, I figured I'll post them all in one thread.. thanks for any responses

1. If you wrap your exhaust, is it still gonna burn you if you touch it with your leg? I can't imagine it actually being cool.

2. What kind of power increase would I see if I upgrade to a 20mm carb? (I have a Takegawa 88cc kit)

3. Me no likey the front forks, what kinds of options do I have for upgrades?

4. Can you paint the stock aluminum rims? (Just got a 2nd set of wheels that I want for street)

5. My front wheel squeaks sometimes and it's mad annoying. What kind of grease am I supposed to use on the axle?

 

1) NO but just stop touching it with your leg
2) Should help but i dont know never used an 88cc kit before
3)What about the front forks do you not like? Check out 50stunt.com for fork springs and such...
4)Why not just polish them?
5) Ear plugs? lol i dont know what kinda grease you should use sorry

Know this was not tons of help but maybe it will help you out a little..

 

Stock rims are not aluminum .

 

You can paint the rims...but it wont stick. You can powder coat them. Just dont powdercoat the hub

And for the squeak, any normal type of grease but i have a feeling its your bearings. You can pry the cover off the wheel bearings with a screwdriver and push a bunch of grease in there and thatll probably fix that.


I advise all 50 riders whos bike came from being on the dirt to do this and do it ever so often as well

 

thanks for the responses. maybe ill powder coat them eventually if its not too much money. would rather focus on the riding for now, only one more semester of school before i can hopefully get a job. the bearings eh? i'll check that out. thanks.

 

powder coat the rims black, and mine didnt come from riding on dirt it was made for a pit bike at road race corses

 

Still do it...Worth a shot
