My brother recently bought 4 xr75's in about that shape for $250 total I'd say the XR the way it sits isn't worth more than a hundred maybe two if the engine runs good I'd be skeptical to even buy it at all, unless a project is what you want By the time you sink the money into making it...

Adjust your valve lash then check the compression If the bike has a piston / rings or valve issue this will let you know If you can get good compression you should be able to get the engine working correctly looking at other items like ignition, carb, etc...

You can check the VIN status online for $10 If it doesn't exist in the system all you should need is the bill of sale The local DVM here has the affidavit service right on site. You can fill out the form and sign it right there The condition of the bike is none of their business, just treat...

A z50A is a street legal bike here you don't need the signals and can add a horn easy enough Don't green plate it. When you do this you seal the bikes fate as off road only A blue plated bike can run on crown land just like a green plated bike Just get the on road ownership, it isn't hard to...

It looks like the bike has some sort of skid plate or frame cradle. On those bikes a frame cradle is absolutely critical. It is easy to strip out the foot peg bolts and damage the engine cases. My brother has 3 of those bikes all sourced dirt cheap with broken cases from the pegs pulling out...

My brother had a 95 suburban with over 400,000km on it and it still ran great. It was aged and abused on job sites and never let him down. Hard on fuel though. To fill it here is about $160 The truck was originally my dads, and after 8 months of low balling a dealer he finally got a newer...

That was back in the summer, never got around to uploading anything for a while I'll upload some winter videos too though

Heavily outgunned I entered a stock CT70 just for fun Didn't come last! A manual clutch would make a big difference, next year for sure for this event My brother (twin) came 3rd on the xr75 (wearing rockstar gear) The two *cheater* minis took 1st and second Good times, even a stock ct70 can...

I bought a gold rolex at a market in Beijing once At lunch time it was silver :)

Even the Chiefs would have been given better odds than that

Not to threadjack, but is ethanol free gas that hard to source in the us? We have it at any shell station here in Canada, and given how much a bike uses the cost difference is noise margin

I have a CT70 I use as an abuse bike on pee wee tracks at motocross facilities. It is useful for the people that tag along and have never rode before (or a pit bike). My brother has an XR75 an experience rider can teach the newbie on the ct with. I have wide open shifted that bike at max rpm...

I've used that line before. It is rigid especially in the cold but it works well I've always been a fan of transparent lines so you can see if the fuel is flowing

It looks like a great way to burn your leg, or ride in a weird position

What a shame that Lifan was slapped in there. Is it just me, or is that pipe about 8 inches out from the frame?
