Baja Warrior Mini Bike

[Bluethunder3320]

getting this tomorrow morning. looks like a sweet bike.

its $275 used. in working condition.


ill post the pics tomorrow when i get it.



it looks like it has a TC, but its actually a cent. clutch and JS. a TAV2 would bolt right on, just gotta gather up close to $200.

stock i have heard it can go 25-30 if you back out the throttle stop a little, and up to 45ish with the TAV2.

anyone else like this bike?

 

[B man]

Nice

I got it!!!!! Been riding all day. What a bike its so cool. Feels like youre sitting on a cloud too its so comfortable.

Pics and maybe a vid later

 

[studysession]

Nice! Look forward to the pics. I saw one of those at Tractor Supply Store - You got a great deal.

I picked up a warrior fram and jackshaft, and then picked up a clone to put on it, only goes 20mph, but has enough torque to make you **** your pants and pop wheelies, and even burnouts. Have fun with your new bike, what speed you got her up to?

 

[Bluethunder3320]

havent tested speed but im guessing 25. gotta get that TAV.

the guy i bought it from said that he got 2 of them from someone who's daughters owned them, but they got quads so they stopped riding them. one of them was beat to **** and the other was the one i bought.

i put a straight pipe on it and it sounded cool. returned it to stock because of the neighbors lol.


ive got a video on the way. heres some of my pics.

[B man]

you should make the fake tank real and use it.

 

[T-man]

wow that has more power then I thought. Blue could I talk you into getting the sproket sizes / ratio from ya ? what size rear tire? looks 18"ish
what size engine?

Keep it nice blue. I would try to keep it stock the most you can. Do weekly tune ups. Don't trash it. Always be asking to trade. You never know what's out there. A friend of mine had a yerf dog mini bike. He traded that for a running GT80 enduro for the guys kid was to young for a clutch.

I would take the light off the front. It looks cool on there now but you will bust it for sure. Don't hack the wiring. The value will drop big time if you do. If you do mod stuff save all the original parts. You got a nice bike if you take care of it. Keep the original paint at all cost. It does matter.

Also I can see the smirk on your face. It's like you are saying

"I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME"

Look at em? Smirking ear to ear....

Also stay away from digging holes with your back tire. Your just trashing your ride and tire. But I did the same thing your age. LOL

T-man, See the back wheel? The fat cat wheel is like this. Sprocket,brakes and wheel in one. Thats why I said it would be cool in your trike. Same style just heavy duty.

 

[sideways]

That thing is nice! A lot quicker than I thought it would be too!

You'l learn how to hold those wheelies mate.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yeah the front end is heavy!

also just got new oil today since i doubt the oil had ever been changed before.

Tman, ill check all that stuff and PM you so you get it.

bighead, yeah, ive been wanting a baja for about 6 years.! also my smirk looks creepy since i need a haircut and all my hair blows back. :arf:

I'm surprised at how fast it accelerates. Looks like tons 'o fun

Some wheelie advice (from a guy who smashed 3 bikes learning to wheelie):
- Hang your a$$ way back and pull back on the bars, not up. The goal is to transfer as much weight as possible to the back of the bike, counterbalancing the front wheel.
- Wait until the centrifugal clutch is engaging/engaged, that way you get the most torque transferred to the rear wheel.
- As soon as you feel the clutch engage (acceleration will rapidly increase, feels like being pulled by a big rubber band), throw your weight back sharply with as much force as possible. This was usually the point where one of my hands would fly off the bars and the bike would go straight into the ditch, make sure you hang on tight!
- Once the front wheel is up, you need to balance it with throttle and weight transfer. Odds are the bike doesn't have enough power to maintain a wheelie for very long, so there's no danger of looping it like on a 2 stroke dirtbike, the most dangerous wheelie machine known to man.
- If you really can't get the front wheel up, an old trick with gutless bikes was to "bounce wheelie" using the front shocks to add a bit of additional momentum to the rearwards weight transfer. As the bike starts accelerating, you rock forwards and compress the front shocks, then throw your weight backwards sharply. The additional energy stored in the springs helps to pop the front wheel up.

Practice the timing, you'll quickly find the point where the front wheel comes up easily. it's a balance of forces, inertia and momentum and acceleration all working in different directions at the same time.

looks like fun man! i bet once you get a tc on that thing you could hit some trails!
maybe we can have a race if i ever build an off road buggy.

 

[studysession]

If it's on-road - I will race.
Right now all my projects are on-road not off-road.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

lol, yeah it goes both on and off road, but once you get to about 25 the governor actually makes it slow down...

my huge problem is my parents are mad that i keep riding in the yard. and whenever i try to go somewhere its always cant. there is no place i can go.

right now basically i can sit on the bike, and i cant even move forward.


why does this have to happen.

 

[redsox985]

That's a crafty use of an old TC back plate. Nice bike.
