Calling all bikers.

top end rebuilds are dead simple on two strokes, its impossible to do it wrong really.

and woohoo 50 cc`s youll be doing 35 mph flat out in no time lol.

Ahh thats where I was mistaken, and you are wrong. After getting hold of a haynes manual for the MTX-50 and checking some measurements it seems that I have an MTX-50 with a big bore piston and barrel.

And this gives me, wait for it, 60 whole cc

It looks like its going to cost me £20 for a new piston, rings, small end and another £20 for a gasket set.

I've got no intention of using this thing on the road as I'll look a massive tit riding around on a hairdryer, but it might get a bit of a blat across some fields before I bung it up on ebay or the like.

Probably for the best really. I've not ridden a bike for about 20 years, so anything bigger and I'm likely to hurt/kill myself.

60cc should be more than enough to propel my svelte frame.

Bikes are another passion of mine, and did lots of tuning two strokes with a mate of mine a long time ago. Best thing to do with a small off roader is junk all the crap you don't need like indicators etc to get rid of the weight and they can be quite nippy round a grass track or mx track, but I wouldn't try any steep hills mate, you'll end up stranded half way up
