Looks like he needs Cone Valves. :smirk:
Stop making silly suggestions, you know they don't make cone valves for Yamaha's. Clearly he should invest in some Showa A-Kit.

Update on this thread for all the PW50 junkies haha.

The kid loves her PW50, but is getting a bit big for it.

I am leary to get her into the next size bike, as I dont know if she is ready for a lot more power.

Has anyone tried a "lift" kit on there PW with a bar riser?

Dave, the new KTM/Husky E50 will have 6 different adjustable sizes, with the largest fitting a 10 year old. 6 different power modes. Mode #1 is walking speed. Mode #6 is suppose to be faster than an SX50. 110V charging, quick change battery.
If she is going to race AX I recommend racing a few Tuesday night mini moto's nights. My son raced that program through 50,65 & 85 and it was excellent. $5.00, one practice, two moto's and you are outta their in a couple of hours.

I have been keeping an eye on the E50. Have there been any indications on pricing or when it will be introduced?

Haha yes I fully agree on the Tuesdays nights. We are heading there tonight to give her the chance to check it out. I suspect she will back out of wanting to race, but thats cool too.

I believe dealers will be getting them this Fall. Not sure on pricing other than they will be cheaper than the early rumor of $7000. My guess is they will be under $6000. I am not sure if all dealers will have them, as they may have to commit to specialty tools and training to carry the E50 ??
Hope she enjoys tonight. :thumbsup:
