    I'm back to thinking of putting the KX60 on the track. Got a few questions for those all-knowing minis racers. I tried looking up some info in the rulebook but am confused (no surprise there).

    What class(s) do I run it in?
    Is there a distinction between stock and built bikes (minis)?
    The class it is legal in, would it be competitive?
    What do you do for a catch pan under the engine?
    Any over heating issues with a small two stroke being wound out for long periods of time?

    What size rims do I need to acquire and where would I find them?
    How in the world do you set up suspension on something that small for someone in the 135-140 lbs range?
    Or do I just tighten up the suspension and hope for the best?

    :cool:

    suberbike 50 is up to 65cc 2 strokes so even with a small bore job it would still fit.

    it would run with most all the bikes in that class

    in the past the minis have been given a little leadway on the belly pan, but a catch can is a good idea.

    you want to find a set of 12" rims, thats about the only size with good tire choices

    stiffer springs and oil up front and yes tighten up the rear.

    Oh wow! I wish I could take you up on the offer. I chose to donate the bike to drum up funds and help out a fellow racer that crashed and is currently a paraplegic http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?t=310852

    If I come up with another bike, and you still have wheels, I'll get a hold of you. Thanks for the offer :up:
