Charity help

Post by TimXS » Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:08 pm

Hi all, new to the group and looking for some help. I have been donated a Honda C50 to use in a charity enduro race. It is a K reg and it hasn't run for quite a while. I could do with any hints or tips you have to improve its performance. I will start shedding weight tomorrow night but any tuning tips will be gratefully received. Many thanks. Tim.

Welcome Tim, there is a section for racing and also engine so should find all you need in there, if not try the search function top right. If you cant find what you're looking for then I'm sure somebody will be able to answer your questions.

Hi Tim, I am not the best in terms of performance tips but I can say from experience loosing weight will not affect your top speed or mpg

Yes, you will feel loads better for it and you will be all the more better for it and if you need to loose weight then just do it anyway

I was 18 1/2 stone and now I am 11 1/2 stone, bike no faster and no better mpg

I dont want you to loose loads of weight and feel gutted when you bike performance does not change but I am sure someone will come forward :D
