Hi guys, I have discovered that my rear sprocket is quite loose, there is quite a bit of side play although the nuts are all tight. Just wanted to ask the local brain trust whether is it something I should be worried about or is it normal? I have read some forums and they say some side play is...

Now I am tempted to get one too!

Btw discovered the beauty of kickstart this weekend! Except for cold starts kickstarting every time now ;D

Great ride this weekend! New shocks made it another notch better ;-) Want to put Michelin M45 size 3.5 both front and rear! Reason? Because it looks good! The skinny tires make the bike look like a toy ;-) Thoughts? Stupid idea? I am well aware that I would have to get a new front fender, but...

Hey there, I can hear you, I was in a similar situation. I got an ace and I don't regret it. The bike is light, easy to ride and easy to work on. The engine is so simple! If you get a Ninja, even as simple thing as changing a spark plug will be a nightmare! You can get plenty of cheap "tuning"...

Thanks Brodie, very helpful indeed!

Thanks for your answers guys, but I wasn't after a generic maintenance guides or checklists. I can google this stuff easily too. My question was for more experience fellow Ace owners. I was trying to find out what are typical Ace's problems, what areas to focus on, what bolts come loose often...

Hi guys, I am seriously starting to be a bit worried that the bike will fall apart while I ride one day :D Therefor a proper pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance is essential. What do you guys check prior to a ride? What is your typical regular maintenance schedule and checklist...

While riding to work my speedo stop working and I am like what the hell and then I see the cable came out... Yet another place to check ;-) Btw in case you guys don't know eBay has been hacked so change your passwords! Not quite Ace related, but I thought it was worth mentioning given the fact...

Yeah was looking forward to it as well, hope you guys will turn up with a couple of aces!

I was going to, but forgot that I promised a mate some help that Sunday :-(

Snake Motors single racer (it's 230cc) is in production and 100 of them will be for sale in Japan for ￥598000 (tax excluded) according to their FB page. A lot of money for a small bike. [Disclaimer: Google translator used, could have also meant that a new flavor of snake ice cream with tofu and...

Allright! All done, sounds great, looks great and performs great! Stoked! Thanks again for your help guys! (sorry for the bad quality picture)

Yes exactly! Can't imagine doing 100mph on that thing. And definitely can't imagine stopping quickly at that speed!

Just read that OORacing have managed to produce 18bhp and 100mph at 9000rpm with their 250 engine kit. The first Ace that has done the ton! It's fantastic but... How is the rest of the bike going to hold up? How about all the shitty parts? How about the terrible breaks, front fork, frame?
