Hi, not been on here for a while as my son gave up on the bike, he has now decided to try again and get it sorted.

For those who may remember my son's bike wouldn't start, we had someone look at it, it started, he went out,started for him to come home and we havn't had it started since.

Anyway reason I am back here is I know someone on here had a manual for the bike and as I have someone coming to look at it on wednesday I would be greatful if it could be emailed to me at [Log in to view email] as so far we have been working blind.

If anyone has any ideas as what it could be please feel free to throw them in my direction either direct by email or on here.

The bike trys to start but just never actually starts, the worst problem is we have been told it could be something to do with the fly wheel (praying it's not).

My son will be 17 next month, his dad got him the bike for his 16th and so far has spent more time off the road than on it (been parked up since December)

Am very greatful for any advice at all.

Oh it's an XT 50 GY if that makes any difference to the advice.

Hiya, just following on your email from the speeding "restricted" bike!
I was quite happily going along the other day, when my speedo decided to jump from 30mph - to 0mph, then 15mph, to 50mph! I think a wire has just come loose! Needs to be sorted ASAP! cant afford to get caught speeding!!
Also my bike keeps just randomly cutting out, ill be going at 30-35, in 4th, then the revs will just die off, and my bike will cut out, the engine isnt hot, just warm, i was wondering if anyone knows what this is, or if any one has experienced it.
Thanks
Jade.x

We had a similar problem when we put the bike together - I went through all connections and made sure they were tight (I had to replace some of the connectors) - I also got a new spark plug (NGK 4629 - C7HSA) - the one that was in was of poor quality and badly adjusted. My son has been riding the bike for about 6 weeks now and, apart from regularly checking nuts and bolts for security etc. has had no mechanical issues.

These bikes offer good value for money and can be reliable, but only if looked after, people make me laugh when they say these bikes are rubbish and that you should by one the "big four" bikes, that is piffle, if you bought a Yamaha in a box and put it together with your 16 year old mate with long nose pliers and a screw driver just bought from a forecourt, it would give exactly the same problems.
Any small cylinder motorcycle should be properly set up and needs constant maintenance, they are not like modern cars that go for year after year without even opening the bonnet.

If you buy one, be prepared to check all the nuts and bolts every couple of days, invest in some loctite and you will not have too many to tighten, the engine is based on a Honda design, they are pretty robust if looked after, but because they have not been checked by a mechanic initially, problems do arise, I have read about them being hard to start and not idling properly, this is more likely than not going to be valve clearances not being correct, the original spark plug is of low quality and it should be changed, the connectors in the ignition wiring should be checked as well, I see lots of people asking about a manual, if you go to http://www.hondaheaven.org/Album-C70_shopmanual.html you will find a manual for the C70, not the same bike, but wiring is similar and the troubleshooting section for the engine is exactly what you want, with the manual, a little bit of nouse, a test meter and even a basic toolkit you will have your bike running no problem.

If anyone needs specific help, email me and I will try, If you need any parts for these bikes got to http://www.hypermotos.com and go to the parts page.

TBH i have both a derbi senda wich i bought for the road and a xt50gy i had on the road the derbi is fine apart from bearing starts every time but what can u expect from a n reg its not worth the hastel i surgesat if u get one take the engine out locktigh every thing and also chance the spark plug cover and spark plug becuase the sprak plugs are *!#%!@ and the cover short out on the frame and it will miss if u get any of the elctric slightly wet my local garage replace plug and cover i could go thought no matter what i live in the country side ive been thought floods not great idea i got soaked but it didnt let me down
befor i would have had no chance. but iwould say get a two stoke so much quicker so much more relaible but xt50gy are ok if u have a good knowlege of bikes.


my xt50gy is off the road atm anyone have an engine my front sproket cam undone and put a nice whole in the engine. not my fault must stree the guy who put my bike together i may be takeing to cort becuase until the garge sorted some of it out it was a bag of *!#%!@

So if you get one get one with warntee that u can take back say this is wrong and they will fix it


my derbi failed mot £700 in repaires so someone give me £200 ill be happy to sell headset bearing gone and wheele bearings

so i have a nice gelria with 2 yrs wantee best bike i got goes very well for a 50

Before fitting larger engine make sure you have 100kg steel bolts to bolt it in with, the original engine mounting bolts tend to let go fairly easily, then you will have a problem with the frame, too much movement and the actual frame welds will give, the barrel and head are slightly longer on those engines, but the original exhaust will fit, getting one with a larger unrestricted pipe would be better though.

Mike,
When you press the starter button are you holding the front brake in ?. The reason I ask is my son's Kinroad which was brand new on starting with the electric starter did not require the front brake to be pulled and the we put another Magneto in it and after that you need to pull the front brake in before the starter button is live.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Ian.
