It might be a 70cc, sometimes they lie. It's a 12v system, but never put move than a 2 amp charge on it. All you need a is a kill switch, other than it has no kick start, it will run with out a battery. What numbers or letters are at the bottom of the black cylinder? A 19mm carb would be more than enough for a stock engine. My 110cc X18 came w/ a 19mm.
back from Philly
Hey guys, i joined a couple months ago after buying an x18 and got some great feedback and help getting it running pretty well. my hope was to track it, but it was gonna be too much work and $$$ to get it done so i wound up selling it (for twice what i paid for it 
)
so the other nite i found and bought a 50cc 4 stroke X6 (or X8 not entirely sure) for $75!!!
prev owner said it needed a battery charge and he lost the key. i figured it would need some work for that cheap anyway but for the price it was worth a shot.
anyway, i need some more help guys: it was just listed as 50cc 4 stroke so what do you think? X6? X8? its auto elec start, no kicker.
i need to replace the charger/fuse/key box first. buy a charger second, and prob replace the battery. from the looks of it the batt in it is not the right size (does not fit in the metal walls in frame to contain the batt)
so any help is greatly appreciated:
what is the right size battery?
its a 3 prong charger plug, so do i use a 12V charger?
any suggestions on spark plug size? (i wanna replace that since it looks like the stock plug, hope they have an E3 in this size)
i also may swap out the carb, i saw a 26mm mikuni listed as for an x6 or x8 4 stroke, will that work? or is that too big? i also see 22mm.
also prob gonna need a new swingarm as this one is pretty rusty. good for some riding, but def no tracking (see pic below)
if anyone has experience w these bikes please help me out, thanks guys!

thanks got it brother. i wound up ordering a tricle charger last night from ebay for like $10. 12v 1amp. also grabbed the key/ignition and a charger port pretty cheap.
once that stuff gets here i should be able to get the bike started and see how it sounds/runs and go from there with mods etc.
i did notice alot of rust around the plate on the swingarm (pic below) will a swingarm from another model super pbike fit the x6? i found a few used x18 and x1 swingarms on ebay for a decent price in good shape. havent really seen any x6 swing arms. i assume an x8 swingarm would fit too, but havent seen those either.
