Went out riding today at my frineds grils house. My bike was hauling ass until a started to hear a knocking in the motor. So I decided I would pick up a new motor and rebuild mine in the mean time. I was thinking about this one ;D [CRF50 Engine](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GPX-150-complete-engine-XR-CRF-50-70-KLX-DRZ_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ35595QQihZ021QQitemZ310029918167QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V) ---

Checking out [Ahpminis.com](http://Ahpminis.com) right now. They actually have tons of parts for 50’s. I may go with them. They even stock that same GPX motor as well. ---

if you want to stunt, dont go over a 88 kit, they get way too twitchy, if you wanna go stupid fast on a tiny bike then go with an ahp or lifan motor. The 88 kit from takagawa made my older crf almost too twitchy to stunt and do controlable wheelies ---

The 88 kit from takagawa made my older crf almost too twitchy to stunt and do controlable wheelies :+1 I don’t have an 88 kit on mine but a friend of mine had on his. It was fun as hell to ride in the dirt , but for stunting purposes it was definitely a lot harder. ---

oh the 88 was a blast to rip around in the dirt though, where the stock 50 would bog down in second or third the 88 would haul. I think the 88 kit is overall the best for anything you want to do, stunt,motard,dirt ---

I have the TB 88 kit on my bike already. I plan on just riding it mainly through trials and dirt. So I am going to go with some with a bit more pep to it. I am going to pick up another so strictly for the street. ---

I had fun the other night, where did everybody go? What do 88cc kit’s usually run? ~150ish? I’d also consider the manual clutch conversion which is also ~150? ---

No, they’re ~$300 or so. You can usually find em on ebay for a pretty good deal too. The Trail Bikes 88cc kit is the one you want. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-know-someone-rides-50s/236153.md?page=4)
