Hey guys I'm new here and thinking of getting a pocket bike. I was Craigslist and found an x7 for $150. I'm not sure if its an x7 what you guys think? And he says everything works lights horn..... And it runs.

looks like an X7 2 smoke.

I'd email him talk to him about it see if anythings wrong with it then offer 50 75 or 100. Gotta bust em up.

 

[Westcoast831]

OK thanks. He said everything works and it runs. And he might want to trade for my paintball guns. So are the x7 any good?

 

[Westcoast831]

One more question what ratio of oil and gas do I use for a x7

 

[X7 Brap]

Look at my thread in the general section. I like my X7 and even more now after doing a few simple modifications to it. They're good bikes. People use 32:1 36:1 40:1 44:1 and 50:1 ratios

I first started out at 36:1 cause i didn't know if my engine was broke in. Now I typically run a name brand synthetic racing oil mixed with 93 octane 40:1 or 50:1

Ty for your help! Well I got the bike and. It turns on but wen u put the choke down to ride it the bike idels for a few seconds then it dies out? You guys now what might be wrong?

heres a video on how to tune carb http://www.pocketbikeplanet.com/showpost.php?p=556013&postcount=9

Also when you start the bike up cold you have to turn the choke off and rev the bike for a few seconds while lifting up the back wheel to warm it up. Then adjust your idle screw so it idles

 

[Westcoast831]

OK ty now I got it to idle now wen I put the choke down to ride it if i dont rev fast enough the bike will stall out and die. Do in need to clean the carb?

 

[X7 Brap]

probably if its been sittin.

And what wires do I need for the bike to run? I want to take out all the wires in dont need like Head and tail lights,Electric start..... And still have it turn on and run? Ty

 

[X7 Brap]

Don't need any wires for it to run just like a weed wacker. I still have everything wired on mine though but no battery

All you need is a kill switch hooked to the small coils wires, push the button, its grounds the coil.

Would this diagram work for a 2 stroke x7 engine?

Two stroke. No.........For the 2 stroker you just rip off all the wiring..battery and switches...Itll pullstart just like a weedeater

Don't in need to leave the keyboard wiring cause i dont think it will start with out a key would it?

Doesnt a weedeater or backpack blower run without a key?

You turn the starter pushbutton into a new killswitch by hooking the two wires coming from the throttle housing into the wire coming from the fancase cover/coil area on the engine.

These are simple crappy little cheapazz motorbikes that seem more complex than they actually are..If they were they wouldnt be so cheap.......

Yea that's True thxs guys for all the help? And I was thinking if a Honda 6.5 clone fit in a x7 frame with out fitting it up?
