Noob Alert!


i finally got bored with fixing up my car so i got a new toy! yes, yes....another noob entering the world of pocketbikes!

i bought a cheap one, the specs look good, but it is a no name, prolly a piece of crap on wheels

HQ FS509 from scootersonline, 13" air tires, dual disc brakes, front and rear shocks, top speed of 45mph, full lights and a speedometer.

now, while i am stupid enough to buy said crappy bike, i am not stupid enough to ride said crappy bike in gym shorts and a cutoff t shirt.

im gonna look like a total dork, but i bought leather pants and jacket, as well as a SHC helmet.

anyway, the goal is to see how much power i can milk out of the junky bike before i blow the engine... im guessing it makes around 3hp stock, i doubt it would be much more. i wanna see what i can do with a new carberator, airfilter, exhaust and maybe a small 5hp shot of nitrous.

let the flames begin!

heheheheheeh, figured! anyway, i just need a starter bike to tinker around with and learn on, maybe work on a bit. do you know anything about its reliability or perhaps what part of the bike is crap? or is it all just garbage?

thanks for your help

good starter bike, the only bad things are the frame welds and some other things if you want more info go to the midbike section in manufactures

The next time I see you talk down on the Chinese bikes ie: "piece of crap" and "trash" your access to PBP will be removed for 72 hours.
