mt-a2 good? - PocketBikeForum.com

User Name · 11-21-2007, 07:50 PM

So I bought a new pocketbike off of ebay... for $160 shipped and it had a look alike l7 for the picture so i said what the hey what can be worse so when i got it i opened it up and to my surprise it was a mt-a2. So I did a little research and i found out its made by cagllari its just the mt-a1 with a full fairing so i said hey i guess i got a pretty good deal because i know you can upgrade alot of cags. So my question is. Is it any good or not in my eyes its pretty good its a pretty good speed for a new bike that isnt broken in. But i wanna know is it good for a beginner racer. I made the mistake of buying a zeimini and trying to race it thinking they all go the same speed until i did reseach. So guys is it decent?

yes they are !

and you were right to begin with ..... they are all the same !
Some maybe a slight different , but unless your getting a L7 , your getting basically the same bike .
HOWEVER, some have different stuff on them , frame maybe a slight bit different , or the chain and sprocket and pinion may be huge , or , you may have those ones that have 2 different pinions ( stupid ) . HERE IS A TIP , STAY AWAY FROM GIOVANNI ,and ZEIMINI
Some may say there faster than others , but like you do find out why . Usually has to do with a big bore kit , or different gearing .

i will say the bike with 25H chain and gearing to match is the one to look for , the frame you want has no bar behind the rear tire , in front of the air box ( that bar makes it impossible to go to a bigger carb or 4 peddle reed cages , or even a ada , or k+n air filter . ) As for the head or cylinder ( big bore ) well it is virtually impossible to explain what to look for, to tell you exactly what size head you actually have on .

From there , wanna make it faster , check the squish , all china bikes come with a incorrect squish , ( the space between the head and the top of the piston when engine is a tdc ) , set it to .5 mm , then your rocking !
from there , hit up some reeds , a good air cleaner ( K+N ) and if you want try a rocket key or timing advance key .

Again , go over the entire bike , make sure everything is tight .
And if your racing , really play with your gearing , it will make all the difference in the world , from big to small track . good luck !

NEXT!!!!!..................

sleeves always has good ideas, you go with those mods, and you will have a quick bike! another good thing to look at is clutch, i found with my cag, the hp springs (stiffer than stock) were better than any other clutch, or adjustable clutch.

yeas yeas , perfect springs !

Does anyone know if a company makes an aftermarket trans for the 49cc (gears)?

*Sleeves* · 12-01-2007, 07:16 AM

TRANS???? LOL
JK .
now2 if your talking the gear on he motor , thats a pinion , if ya want the gearing for back tire , thats is called gearing. which one ya need ?

gprs-r turbo · 12-03-2007, 12:02 AM

lol sorry im new to the pocket bike scene and was wondering if any manufacturer will ever make an aftermarket gear box that hooks up to the motor that maybe switches gears auto. ( just dreaming)

*Sleeves* · 12-03-2007, 07:18 AM

no , the bikes are too small to shift gears .
