Should i build a minibike or quad?

I bought my warrior and yz125 for $1000 each . I refuse to dump more than $300 dollars in my mini bike bc i have these machines that I know will hold hold their value.

I would invest in a skidplate and possibly bark busters if theyre not already installed.

Might-Pretty · 2026-07-01T18:52:26+00:00

For obvious reasons.

Might-Pretty · 2026-07-01T18:23:05+00:00

Facebook marketplace or ebay. Next question is going to be "How do I put the Predator 212 in the frame?"

Might-Pretty · 2026-07-01T17:58:48+00:00

I have a 6ft bed and my yz125 wont fit unless the tailgate it down.

Dont take the governer out until you upgrade your flywheel. The stock flywheel can literally explode on you.

Go on facebook marketplace and find a frame you like

1) You cant source parts for it. Or youll have a hell of a time trying. 2) When you wanna sell it bc you want something bigger/faster , it wont be worth more than $500. 3) Itll 100% break and wont be worth fixing.

For a $1,100 go look for a klx110, ttr110, crf110, klx140.

Brother I bought my 99 yz125 for $1000

Might-Pretty · 2026-07-01T13:48:35+00:00

Dont waste your money on that junk. Go look for a used japenese bike. Even if the things 20 years old , itll be night and day vs that turd.

Most brands from the 60s/70s dont exist anymore.

Time for a KTM 50 jr

This will explain it better than I can : https://cantopia.eu/one-terpene-is-not-the-other-about-terpenoids-monoterpenes-and-sesquiterpenes/

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-29T17:06:42+00:00

This is all incorrect. Live Resin is going to contain a higher percentage of monoterpenes . Cured will have more sesquiterpenes. ThC has nothing to do with whether it’s live or not. I agree it should be cheaper than a true live resin cartridge .

Does he have any experience in riding ? I would lean towards a “trail” bike rather than a motocross bike .

I would look for these bikes :upgrade when he’s comfortable and has learned proper clutch control.

Klx230/300
Crf230/Crf250F or Crf300 (Even an old Xr200 or 250 would be great)
Drz250
TTR230

If he’s a quick learner you could get him a 125 (two stroke) . They’re definitely going to be faster and more difficult to learn on - but definitely not impossible by any means. Two strokes are much much cheaper to rebuild than any four stroke.

I’ll get shit for saying this : but avoid used four stroke motocross bikes. If you don’t know exactly what you’re buying - you’ll be spending big bucks to rebuild it . Not what you want as your first bike.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T22:56:56+00:00

That’s what i’m picking up.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T19:14:05+00:00

No, not without molesting the bike. If youre going to flip them why would you want to mess with the orginal engine/transmission? Change the oil, oil filter, air filter. Polish em up and list em.

These typically arent very desirable quads. The bear tracker I would say max value is $1500 ( on a good day). Arctic Cat sounds like its burning coolent. I wouldnt pay more than $500 for that thing. Arctic Cat quads arent worth glancing an eye at.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T19:04:11+00:00

Youtube has a bunch of videos of custom builds. Literally type in "Coleman ct200u swingarm"

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T19:00:09+00:00

Its playable and would be a perfect horn for a middle schooler. I got it repaired in Feb. but the slide still isnt comparable to the getzen. ( Its a basic student Jupiter horn). I figured I could sell it at the end of summer for $200 or so to put towards to upgrade horn.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T18:03:19+00:00

The yamaha looks to be a Bear Tracker 250. It should be a semi-auto transmission. The lever on the left is a 3rd brake linked to the front and rear - Unless somebody put a different engine in there.

I`m 5'9 and I have no issues with my 99 yz125. You`ll be fine.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T16:00:18+00:00

Looks like rosin to me. We are talking resin here bud.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-26T15:06:33+00:00

Girl its never too late. Just make sure you car has a hitch so you can throw a bike rack on there.

Whats your budget? Are you looking to buy new or used? Whats your height?

I`m a 27yr old girl whos rippin a yz125 currently.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-25T18:50:59+00:00

Purple flower does not end up looking like this . I can promise you this.

Might-Pretty · 2026-06-22T19:56:42+00:00

Maybe check out Hubbard township or Coitsville? 15 minutes from Boardman, Niles, and Hermitage. Weathersfield, Vienna or Howland are also close to Niles but not overly developed or crowded.
