another new 2.5 owner. just gotta blata.

... Im a poet and I didnt know it.
Ok enough of the lame jokes Im done. after nearly a year of having to put up with a craptastic cag. I now have a blata 2.5.

congrats on the purchase...

keep a bottle of carb cleaner close..it will get dirty. LOL.

u might wanna wrap your fuel line in a protective metal sleve just to be on the safe side..i hade a bad experience with that yesterday.

I suggest taking the Cag wheels and fitting them onto the 2.5, it'll make a huge improvement in handling. If you do a search you'll find details on how it's done.

Congrats!

yeah the first thing I'd do is a 6.5 wheel conversion and slap in a 14/14 sha carb. second thing I'd go for is the zocchi 2 shoe adjustable clutch on ebay and upgrade to a 4 petal reed cage, either the ADA, IP2, or the giannini will do... you can do other things but these are a few of the basic things I'd do as far as upgrades...

con grats on your 2.5!!!

yeah i got a polini and a cat eye and a cag and the polini is fabulous comparied to the other two euro bikes are superior no question about it

congrats on your bike
cheers

Nice upgrade but dont forget where you came from.Thats like saying I had gold now I have a diamond.My cag has been good to me.Maybe you just got a lemon from factory.If you wanna start racing and get some exp is a blata the way to go?Is a blata a good starter bike?I beg to differ.Cost more to replace parts when you lay her down.

i agree it cost me almost 90 bucks to getr a replacement fairing for my 910 and it is not cheep to get parts for mid south is really the only place i no of.... my cag is a good bike and it still gets it s fair share of track time

That guy is saying I'm in the big league now.I hope his ego is fullfilled now.When it hits his pocket he will keep it personal.(extra parts)One less cag ridder what will that do?Who would'nt pick up that craptiable cag he says he has?Think it will be waiting for the trash truck?O s**t he will respond with some bs now!!!!!Just saying dont flame the cags.

i cant belive im getting angry over types of pocketbikes....

hey **** face i ride my cag to dipshit u ****ing retarded i dont see why u talk so much **** to some 1 u dont evin knoe. and i noe it will hit my pocket, it already has thats exzackly why i warned him what he was getting in to. **** your stupid u *** faget u have no idea no one was puting the dam cag on blast why would i blast my own bike.

im not gunna reply to u or this thred any more im already gunna get it from admin for being so iritated about this.

talk all the **** u want dont matter will never see each other so go ahead say some more aint gun irritate me NO MORE!!!!!

p.s. ive been in the been in the big leages i got bord with the cag cuzz i did all there was to do to it so i switched bikes and now i building up a 4.2 evin higher than it was when i bought it

p.s.s. u prob. like 40 years old so im not gunna waist my friday nite arguing with a lonly old man

>>Big al

can anyone clear up the 6.5 conversion. I read the threads but with everyone coming in on how they did it it gave me a headache.
list the parts.

I thought I explained it on the other thread...? Click Me

I own both... cags need more maintenance and I've layed my blata 2.5 a few times at the race track and nothing broke, maybe a few scratches but no cracks on the fairing... its a different story on my cag with its plastic fairing and cheap bolts that tend to strip or break. not to mention cag pegs are a joke! cags do need more attention even if it isn't a lemon. come on, just look at the quality!

See how smart you are you *** hole that wasnt even directed towards you.I'm so lonely I sleep with ****Y every night.You dum ****!!!!Your dad need to whoop your ***.Leave the drugs alone.Seems you need help.

Watch the flaming take it to pm if anything

There was a guy who posted he just got a blata and now his cag is crapstatic.I was replying to this guy not to flame the cags due to the purchase of the blata and then this guy from who knows where thinks I was replying to him.If the guy would have reed the reply correctly he would of known I wasnt refering to him.Your right about the flaming he could have pm me or I him..

oops kinda missed that. I also notice that the blata is a bit easier to work on as well. The carb slides off after you loosen a screw. I dont have to take on the airfilter and remove several bolts like I did on the cag.

blata:2
cag:0

My cag always was craptastic even before I got the blata. Ive had the cag for a year. it only ran for 2 months. and when it did run it didnt run right. I might try to fix it again I might not.

does the blata have a full circle crank?

If your talking about the 2.5 BlueBird then no it doesnt have a full circle crank. The China Cag FCSC wont fit either. The pic below is the BlueBird crank.

On the 6.5 conversion I have to use the cag chain or no?

I've always wondered what the crankshaft on the 2.5 looked like and that's just pathetic. No offense intended, my kiddo races a 2.5.

I a sad monkey now.

ok does blata make 6.5 wheels that will fit my bike? I know the cag back wheel is a direct bolt on. but the front sounds like a pain having to fabricate a spacer and all.
