[QUOTE="wayfastwilly, post: 1021635, member: 65949"] [b]2005 kikanasi[/b] I bought 2 chinese bikes in july, one kikanasi 70cc crf 50 copy and one west coast dirt bikes 110cc xr 70 copy. both were ok to start, battery went out on the 110 in a month, just pulled it off and kick started it, and the forks were raked out like a chopper, dont see how my 10 yr old rode it, it handeled so badly and the rear spring was so strong i didnt bottem out the bike, i weigh 275lb.Anyway the suspention cuased a terrible crash at the track one day, so i sold it for $500, i only paid $565 shipped, and bought a 2004 kx 65, awsome bike. However, the 70cc bike is sprung for a 70lb child, came with a $90 set of RIDE IND. flame graphics,(wicked looking) a 18mm carb, a 7/8 pipe and great sounding silencer and a e22 race head for $495 shipped. Great deal, but not without problems. The tires are turf tamers, so no bite, the swingarm bolt comes loose constantly, and the cool open air breather came apart about a month before i noticed it and sucked up a handfull of dirt. I should have been checking it better, but it ate up the rings.smoked like a 2 stroke. Anyway, a trail bikes 88cc kit and a set of michilen starcross tires later, this thing is a monster. The carb, pipe, head combo is just right for the 88cc kit, he starts in 2nd gear at the track(auto 4 spd) and carries the front tire for 20ft,( he races the peewee 50 class). My point is, I have $700 in a bike it would take $2000 to copy if you bought name brand. Yes i have to turn wrenches on it regularly and the carb is temp sensative, but he has a bike that runs with the beginner ktm 50cc 2 strokes, wheelie in 3 of 4 gears and can explode a berm at the turn of the throttle. Yea it has some cheap features, but it has it where it counts. My kids are riding bikes now where they wouldnt be if i had to buy 2 name brand bikes at once. Ps. I bought the KX65 with a trashed engine, rebuilt it top to bottem and have a nearly new bike with fresh graphics for only $1200! There are good deals out there if you look hard enough, and i think the kikanasi is one of them. The air filter problem could happen to any of them. The 110 is only fit to ride to the porta potty at the track, or putt in the yard. These bikes are sold by many different sites, they say Dream on the tank sticker, most have yellow, green and purple graphics, and usually sell for $565 shipped. BEWARE THIS BIKE! Good dependable engine, worthless suspension, plastics(fiberglass) and steering angle. I hope this helps somebody. :aj: [/QUOTE]
