Should I buy a cheap dirtbike or go all out and buy a better one?

Question:
I am thinking about getting a baja motorsports 90cc dirtrunner (dirtbike) for my son, will it last long, it is only 800$ brand new and a new honda 80cc is about 3500$, is baja the way to go?

Answers:

could anyone tell me the click settings on the suspension of a KTM 200 exc (2004) enduro and track...?

Think of the Baja as 'disposable'. When it breaks, you throw it away and go get another one.

Ask the 'dealer' if they stock parts and have trained tech's to work on them. If not, don't believe them when they say that parts from other brands will fit and other dealers will be glad to work on them. Sometimes you get lucky and certain parts will interchange, but not always. Most of the shops in my area are refusing to work on them anymore. It's just not worth the hassle in the long run.

I've found that on most of those knock off machines when you can find parts they hose you pretty good. This past summer I felt sorry for a gentleman and took in his Jing-Chin Honda knock off bike. All we needed was a blasted needle and seat, but the distributor (no local dealers, just a hardware store) gladly sold me a complete carb. $$$$.

Whats wrong with my motorcycle?

You would be better off buying a 10 y.o. Japanese bike then brand new Chinese garbage. Baja is definitely not the way to go. If you get a 5-10 y.o. Honda you and your son can work on it together (since will actually be able to get parts) and even if you just tune it up and change the oil it will run better and longer than a Baja.

I agree with ringer. There is the first fall factor. The chinese bikes are disposable. You ride it till it breaks and hopefully by then your child has outgrown it.

How do I adjust my air screw and idle for a 2006 YZ125? I'm a NewB and want to get it running smooth.?

the dirt runner sounds like a chinese knockoff of the japanese bikes....go japanese but I wouldn't pay any less than 1500 to 2000 for it or you can run into big problems with the bike you get for 800 bucks. p.s. the chinese bikes are junk and it is hard to get parts for them....the best way to go is new if you can afford it. KTM (austrian), husqvarna (swedish/italian) are also good choices.
