Taken from the rampage forum, this is a short explanation (not review) of my 110 pit bike so far
110 pit bike (small wheel) red
after taking all the nuts and bolts from the cage, and putting the front wheel on, handle bars ect, i gave it a quick check over, plopped some fresh fuel in, made sure it was neutral and started kicking it over, compression is very high, as you might tell in my video when my m8 was trying to kick it over, or you could use the battery, by putting it in neutral, with the key, holding the front bake and pushing the elec button....then i let it tick over for a while, whislt i sorted out the freeplay in the throttle, (wouldnt mind a quickgripshift as shown in the piccy section, thx Chris) and pulled back the throttle, just a little to hear this almight growl, it was thunderous, it will put a grin on anyones face, let it warm up a bit, (o yeah it started without the aid of the choke) which i guess i should of put on as its cold, before you do start your own bike make sure you turn the fuel switch to the ON posistion, before i rode it anywhere i rolled it back and forth making sure everything in the wheels was ok, and tested the brakes.

down into first i went, with my m8 watching nearby, slowly let out the clutch whislt applying little throttle, before you knew it i was half way acorss my garden with my neighbour thinking theres a earthquake, always being used to 2 stroke engine, even a rs250, i wasnt used to having power all the way through the rev range, but this just takes the fizzle! big shock, as for the shocks, yes the front is a bit hard, but some people prefer it like that, i dont think anyone can complain about the rear shock, its the best ive seen on a stock pit bike...ever!

As said by other owners you cant fault the build quality for what you get, there might be a few nuts and bolts which come lose, but they will tighten, if not, with the aid of some loctite or other product.

the only bad thing i could point out, is the chain, only about 3 out of 10 people have had this problem, but you could move the wheel back, or get a new chain to solve this problem, but for the price and build quality of the whole bike, this one little rare sniggle is nothing (it could be because its carrying so much weight, me!) and being 6'2, i ride it perfectly, even though i look like a bit of a giant next to it.

This isnt really a review, but more of what ive done, and what ive seen witht he bike over the last day, when its run in and i get a proper go, then expect the full review, happy riding people and keep pics and vids comming.
