Do the older Z 50s have a good balance point like the xrs?
Cause I wanna get one I got a KLX 110 right now hard as **** to balance.

 

are you keeping your KLX also? i have a 110 and your right about the balance point but i've started to get it down.....its not like an XR50...thats for sure...but i have a blast on it and its fast as hell for that small of a bike...right now i'm workin on doing a supermotard setup on it...12" front rim with YSR50 race tires, KX65 front forks...works rear shock...maybe the 130 kit from pitboss and a few other goodies

 

Ya im still keepin my 110 its pimp but i just cant wheelie it. I got the 133 kit and a cam it rips dude. I got every hop up part available for it besides the PPS carb. I work at a dealership ne body shot me a holla if they need 110 hop up parts cause we got em.

 

My friend was tellin me that he knew somebody that had a klx110 that was bored out to 210cc's. Is that possible? Supposedly the thing rips at like 65mph and he's taken it on the freeway before lol

 

Ive never heard of anything that big 180 or so is the biggest. It probably did run 65 though cause you can put 4th gear in them then the top end is awesome I raced mine in the dealer pitbike class at the Street Bike Shootout drags and with no fourth gear and geared down one on the front it ran 47 mph in the 8th mile

 

ya man a z fiddy deffinately has a good balance point. You can throw the things around like nothin.

 

oh on the z50...if its anything like an XR50 it should be a lot easier to wheelie.....i can wheelie my buddies XR for ever, and slow it down and speed it up and everything where as on my KLX i have to have it quite high and going pretty good in order to keep the wheelie up....but i'm working on it.. i like the challenge....and anyways i have more fun doing stoppies on it

 

I like my Z a lot better than XR's.. they balance awesome

 

nags, you think the Z balances that much better/easier than an XR? I've never ridden (much less wheelied) a Z but I'm curious. I almost bought a used Z before I got my XR. I'm starting to get the hang of balancing my XR, but it's not easy and it's taken me awhile. (maybe I just suck? haha) It does seem like the BP is pretty small, not much from chasing it, to balanced, to looping. I figured it was just the nature of the beast, tiny little short-wheelbase bike is gonna have a small BP, no? Why would the Z be much different? Then again, different sport bikes have way different BPs (like a 900RR vs R1) yet are similar size & wheelbase etc. (or so I've heard, I've never ridden either)
