Kinsham, October 2024
Finally got to the track with our little pit bike. Unfortunately it's not the tool for the boy to learn to ride and change gear on. He was revving it out and it was blowing oil out of the crank case breather. A combination of him not knowing what he was doing and perhaps a little too much oil in the motor. It is very race oriented as the previous owner set it up that way so I may even end up putting flat supermoto bars on it until he is up to speed.
We parked it for the day but thankfully the paddock is super friendly and someone lent us a couple of bikes to get him out there for the first time ever. He rode the mini-motor for a session and then right at the end of the day when most people had packed up he got out on 140 supermoto to learn to change gear.
I've since sorted our bike, different shift lever and lowered the oil level so all being well our bike will be working better for him.
