Hi Guys,

My name is Moshe and i just bought a pocket bike last weekend. Was so excited that i went for a jump and snapped the chain on the first day!

I have found one place to buy spare parts from and they are in QLD Pocket Bike Parts - Home
i was wondering if there are any places in Sydney or NSW that sell pocket bike parts?

thanks and look forward to all your responses

There is some bloke down in Liverpool who does pocket bike bits but I don't know where exactly he is. If you have a bit of a google you might just find him.
Sorry, I'm at work and don't have the time to find the relevant info.

what chain is it ? there are 2 different type of chains for then

thanks for that but i actually have no idea which chain it is. is there any special way of measuring the one i broke? i have already ordered another one because i thought there was only one of them.

fingers crossed that the one i get will fit properly. what will happen if i use the wrong one on my bike?

well i went on the weekend to foxy pocket bikes in belmore. they have lots of spares and what not but the service there is kinda crappy and they just charge whatever they feel like. but i got my two chains and the bike is now up and running

thanks to all that replied and to whoever took the time to read my thread

Another place to look for is Crazypocketbikes in Tarren Point, this is where I got mine from a few months ago.

BTW congrats on the pocket bike, where abouts do you ride? do you want a fanging partner?

Ohh and here is a list of the To-do's for you (based on my experience).
1. flush the tank, get the floaters out
2. idle a tank or so of fuel through to wear the parts in on the bike
3. replace the fuel filter that will no doubt have picked up a few floaters that where missed.
4. adjust the carby (do a search for carby handbook).

Now, if your a bit of an internet nerd, there was a torrent floating around with the pocket bike handbook, this has an awesome guide on the what to start with to get the bike into the best condition, locking the handlebars so they dont suddenly go loose mid-corner, setting up the engine so the chain is perfectly straight (good for 0.05Horses or power, and takes some stress off the chain), and a few other key-things to get the bike ready for good riding.

BTW, some advice, dotn sit on the back of the bike and lean back with the throttle open, it always ends bad!
