CF70 Tuning

Post by Closedfstop » Tue Aug 18, 2020 4:36 pm

Hey all, thank you for accepting me into the forum

Kind of asking the age old question here but are there many performance upgrades still available for a CF70 engine as I know the minibike scene isn’t as strong as it used to be.

I see Shire Bikes have a high-lift cam, valve springs, oil pump, larger exhausts and carbs..might there be anything more I can do to it without importing from America?

I have an original 1976 Z50J I’d like to put this into (as a fettling engine) as I’d rather not mess with the Z’s engine and just keep it stock.

No Chinese crap thank you :-)

Is it a semi-automatic or an automatic cf70 unit you've got?

It sounds to be similar to my ST70 - which has a 72cc barrel & is 3speed semi auto.
