I've bought a couple of sets of wheels so I can fix them up with different tyres and sprocket gearings - the only problem is getting hold of the disk rotors and sprocket bolt locking plates.
If anybody knows where to get either - please chirp up!
Hi Johny,
They look about right - but Atomik's previous model Kuda Pro was pretty much the exact same bike as the G4 Hummer - so if you dropped them a line and asked - I'm sure they could confirm that they fit.
Fixed the problem with the foot pegs rod just took one of the back pegs off that come with the bike and put it on the front. I reckon i will still by a new set tho.
In the meantime don't pass up on an opportunity to buy spares. Chances are that the next version of the Hummer or Kuda will have a lot of non-compatible parts.
I've been buying spares at good prices lately including:
Clutches - $15, Wheels- $30, Carbies- $35, Rear Shock- $35, Complete front and rear brake systems- $50, Sprockets- $20
Take your time and source them at good prices - then store for a rainy day. It's just cool how little the spares cost! A guy at work paid more for his Triumph exhaust muffler that my whole bike cost - Why would you be into that?
Hi everyone my name is ben and im 15,
At 187cm tall and weighing around 80kg, i thought a tomahawk kx might be too small, but when i bought one off ebay i saw that it was a rather large bike. The springs are a little too soft if your jumping, but since i only do trail riding with my mates and at my place i dont really notice. THese are the issues with the bikes...
Chain is too thin- get a DID 428 one or get a 520 guage, thats what im doing
the tires are good for hardpack but hit bottomless mud and you have to pratically try to hydroplane over it
It is easy to get water in the oil, either through the exhaust or the crankcase breather- this happened to mine, oil went all milky and the rings go stuck away from the bore- had to take the engine out and the top end apart. not fun
Apart from these issues these are great bikes. The frames are well welded and the engines great quality. When i took it apart it was about..40 hours old and it was not at all worn.
ONE KEY TIP- USE ONLY BIKE OIL..i use BP superbike 4. This is designed for bikes, the reason for not using car oil is that a car has a lot more oil, and it usually takes a long time to get around the engine. Since most cars are watercooled the oil will be cooler. so use bike oil.
Thats all for now ill write back when iver finished the mods..(bug my dad for some fat bars...)
Your bike should come with a 428 chain as standard.
If you replace the Chinese chain with a good quality DID or RK chain - it should be plenty strong enough for your current engine set-up.
There are however companies like "Saturday Night Cycles", who supply hot engines for these bikes - and I believe they also provide 520 gauge sprocket upgrades to accommodate the extra power. If you really want to increase your chain gauge, I suggest you start with these guys.
You're the first guy I've heard from to get water in the oil on these bikes. It sounds like you may have drowned the bike at one point or another. It certainly does play hell with an engine - and I suspect the average China bike wouldn't have too many sophisticated design features to keep the water out.
Making sure the air box properly sealed is a must - but once the water goes above the air intake snorkel or the exhaust pipe - you've had it!
As you will recall, there was a lot that had to be done on this bike.
The concept was good - a 250cc OHC engine in a small light frame - set up to suit the smaller rider. The fit-out however was poor quality and a lot of parts had to be replaced, with the electrics and wiring needing the biggest fix.
Finally (with enough time and money) I got all the needed work done and took the bike out for a spin on the week-end. The effort was worth it - since I can report that the bike is super hot and surely fast enough to scare the pants off anybody. The only remaining problem is the suspension - which is not beefy enough to take the weight of the bike and a decent rider. Also, the forks have no adjustments - which doesn't help matters much.
If the bike continues to work well - I'll look at some after-market forks and shocks.
yeah im putting a 520 x-ring chain on, saturday night cycles is a good site, ordering a sprocket off there cause 15=41 is way too fast. this bike needs better tyres too...has anyone put an oil cooler on these? i want to put one on with an oil filter as well, as it doesnt have one and i have to change the oil every 8 hours. im also looking for a japanese rear shock to put on mine as the one on now is a bit too soft.
also i hadnt drowned it the water got in the gearbox breather snorkel ive put a longer hose with a small part of gauze on the end to keep out the big stuff. this bike didnt have an airbox but i put one off an old suzuki on and put the hose into the airbox. im now saving up for protapers better tyres and other things. im also saving up for an rmx250 it can be my open trail weapon and the tomahawk can be my tight trail beast
