Are Thumpstar Pit Bikes Reliable?

There was a time if the alone baby sized motorcycles aswell now accepted as pit bikes were fabricated by Japanese companies such as Honda and Kawasaki. In the accomplished few years these pit bikes accept become added and added popular, which has created absolutely a appeal for them. Able-bodied now the Chinese manufacturers and others are dispatch in to ample the void. So alleged beating off bikes such as Thumpstar pit bikes and Sikk pit bikes are congenital with Chinese engines and frames. The big catechism is can these bikes angle up to the old affectionate Honda and Kawasaki models?

Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki accept been the basic if it comes to clay bikes for years, and appropriately so. These motorcycles are actual competent and reliable. Recently a host of Chinese fabricated motorcycles accept entered the arena in the anatomy of mini bikes or pit bikes. Why would humans buy a motorcycle from China if they can't be abiding on the reliability? The acumen is simple, they are abundant cheaper than their Japanese counterparts.

You can buy a absolutely tricked out Thumpstar pit bike for about $1500 cast new. If it comes to the new CRF100 tricked out by BBR you are searching at about $5500. This is absolutely a aberration in price. There are abounding added cast names of so alleged beating off pit bikes such as Pittster, Sikk, Thunder Pro, and the account goes on and on. All of them are priced analogously and the superior is about the aforementioned depending on who you ask. I currently own 2 Thumpstar pit bikes, and I apperceive some humans who accept the added so alleged beating off brands such as Sikk so I can allege alone on the superior of these motorcycles.

Are they as acceptable as a Honda or Kawasaki? The simple acknowledgment is no. These bikes still accept absolutely a way to go to angle up to the superior and achievement of the Japanese brands if they are all tricked out. There is alone one problem. If you buy a Honda 50cc, it comes cartilage stock. You charge to advancement aggregate from suspension, exhaust, tune the motor and this will add up to bags of dollars. Able-bodied I don't apperceive about you, but I am not spending $5500 on a tiny pit bike. This is the acumen why bikes fabricated with Chinese locations such as Thumpstar pit bikes accept become so popular. They appear banal with a nice chase exhaust, the abeyance is bigger than banal Honda, some even now appear accepted with Japanese Mikuni carburetor. I alone anticipate a lot of of the beating off bikes attending abundant nicer than the Honda or Kawasaki as well. As time has gone by these motorcycles accept become bigger and better.

Isn't it absurd to acquisition locations for pit bikes with Chinese parts? Surprisingly not. There are abounding suppliers now acknowledging these motorcycles, and with the internet it has become easier to acquisition locations for about anything. There are abounding places to acquisition aftermarket locations and upgrades for Thumpstar pit bikes and abounding others.

So how accept my 2 Thumpstar pit bikes stood up to the abuse of a harder benumbed season? Able-bodied I accept to say that they accept been just great. The engine was a affable abruptness carrying bland ability through all 4 gears. The abeyance although absolutely annealed was still bigger than banal so I was blessed with that. The frames accept been durable, and all-embracing the bikes accept been actual reliable. The alone problems I can say I had were that the alternation dug the swingarm in the aback of one of my Thumpstars, some bolts ashamed off, I replaced the levers, and some artificial corrective damage. The engines run a little hot so I am currently searching into accepting oil coolers for my Thumpstar pit bikes, I accept apparent a amount of them for auction online.

If you are currently in the bazaar for a pit bike it is up to you. Do you wish to pay $5500 for the actual best or would you rather pay about $1500 for a commensurable motorcycle? It was a breeze for me. I'm abiding the shelf activity for my Thumpstar pit bike is beneath than a Honda, but who cares I'll just get addition one in a few years and still accept spent beneath money!
