08 Wildfire 200cc dualsport parts?

[katoranger]

These bikes were never intended to run at the speeds that we push them to in North America.

The Chinese use them as tractors and low speed mules.

Please don't ever take this 200cc Chinabike on the highway. Because of a crash that could have been fatal (hit from behind by a faster car) I don't recommend EVER taking your bike on a road with a faster than a 50-55 MPH posted speed limit.

I agree, aside from everyone roaring past, I found that the few times I've had mine going that fast, it develops a pretty bad wobble.

It is what it is. a fun inexpensive trail bike and commuter on surface streets. NEVER take it on the highway.

X10! 8O These bikes are great little motorcycles, but they were not designed to travel on limited access highways. The 200cc engines don't have enough power to even keep up with the traffic flow, let alone have reserve power left to escape from danger. :roll: Please listen to the wise physician; he has the scars to prove his statements are true. :(

for what it's worth, when I upgraded my tires I added dynabeads and my bike is very stable at 110kmh as long as I stay away from the dity air behind big vehicles.

We just bought 2 wildire 200cc dual sports bikes ourselves. I was wondering what are the sproket sizes that come with the bike. We are trying to plan ahead to get them ready for riding when they arrive. We had 2 vivas when we lived in hawaii and enjoyed them very much.

Welcome back. I think the wildfires come geared low. Probably 17/56.

Thanks about the sprockets, We are glad to be back and looking forward to going in the hills here in SE Arizona

Thanks for the advice... I definitely see what you say about high speeds. The wind fels like it is going to throw you off the road... No sprockets yet I noticed a gas leak on my tank so I took it off to weld it... I will update when I count sprocket teeth and order one or two....

[goatja]

well i found i got 15 front and 39 rear any ideas?

[katoranger]

Put a 17 on the front. Are you sure about the rear sprocket? Never heard of any coming stock with a 39 rear.

[Akonababe]

Ours came with 46 rear sprocket and 15 front sprocket, change the 15 to a 17 and the bike is geared just right.

[katoranger]

17/46 is about optimum for most riding.

[goatja]

Well thats what i get for trusting somone else to count the sprockets.... I was installing my gas tank and my buddy was counting... It seemed a little odd myself... and if it was 15/39 I thought it allready should be geared fast enough....

Take a close look wioth a flashlight. Even my generic X-Moto hondanoid has the tooth count stamped into the side of the sprocket. May be worth a good look......

[goatja]

I am sure you guys are right I will count the teeth myself and look for the number myself.. where did you guys get your 17t sprocket
