RIDERS CUB DISCUSSION

[garth]

Good stuff, I'll just have a wee read of that then

What's the story behind having the two 2k engines spare?

Are there two Super Cubs lying around without engines somewhere?

I swapped out the originals (fully working) in preference of four speed manuals. In my experience the semi auto clutches are prone to slip compared with the manual lumps. For what I want it made sense!

Had a look at your blog and take it that you removed the original engines to put the Lifan units in?

Are you anticipating that the Lifan units will be more reliable or just considering that the slightly larger displacement engines will be more suited to the long distance journey?

Same capacity.

I just like having four gears.

Plus for some reason, they're much smoother.

That's strange your earlier reply didn't show up for me last night?

Then, when I tried to look at the site this morning, I couldn't get in....

I'd assumed you had slipped in a 140cc engine or suchlike.

I'm hoping that my little Super Cub proves to be reliable overall, with the standard engine. It'll have an easy life as far as I'm concerned and only be taken out on dry sunny days, unless I get caught out in the rain.

I'd also like to pick up one of the 50cc variants at some point, if there's one at a good price, for a friend of mine who only has a car license.

A lad close by bought one second hand was ina bit of a state,purchased complete new exhaust system mudguards bars and front mudgaurd for about £150 was well impressed. Later bought a new loom after all sorts of problems this resulted in more problems purly due to rubbish quality.He took up my idea buy a good used CG125 one, to date all is well.

Any idea what he did with the Rider's Cub in the end?
