kids wheel spacers

[Teej]

Was thinking about putting two wheel spacers on my sons Kazuma 110.

any thoughts? I was thinking about two on the rear wheels only. How would that affect handling?  I was thinking that on the rear wheels, there wouldn't be any stress on the front end. I am just looking to keep his bike from tipping too easy.

Thanks, Teej

I'm no expert, but from what I have seen, the racers make theirs as wide and low as they can get them. I would think spacers front and rear would help keep it on all four. After what happened to me, I would look into a steering stabilizer, I am for my quad.

Enlighten me. What happened to you?...............

We run wheel spacers on all of modified minis with no problem.  Our xtreme 90 is  almost 8 in in rear with offset rims and spacers. The thing to watch out for on the frt is when spaced and when turning hit frt fenders but on your bike I dont think that is an issue.Let me know if I can help in any way. Our link in my signature.

you might want to check the geometery of the front end on that Kazuma, I know a co-worker had a real issue with his.

Do you have any upgrade suggestions for a Kazuma Falcon 110? What are your thoughts for spacing either 3" or 5"?
Would spacing 5" on the front spray sand and dirt into my sons face with the tires out that far from the fenders? What if I spaced the rear 5" and the front 3"?

I checked your site, but did not see anything for Kazumas. Thanks Teej

We had a kazuma but it had bad bump steering we tryed to change that with no luck. Every time the frt suspension moved up it turned the wheel and caused it to flip so we sold it. There is not any upgrades out for those bikes but I will ck with my vender for upgrades.

Thank you. I would think just a muffler change would make a big difference and a better spark plug.

Your previous Kazuma, was the front end a single A-arm or a dual A-arm front end? How can I check the steering out to see if the wheel turns? If you hit a root or bump, shouldn't the wheel turn? Would it help if I change the front shocks down to make the front end softer?

My son is light weight and his Kazuma has a dual A-arm front end with adjustable shocks. In sand, his tires just spin. He did bump into a tree this weekend after his front tire hit a root in the trail.

Thanks, Teej

Ours was double a-arm and we tryed changing  alot of stuff on the bike to stop it , tried moving the posistion of tie rods and a bunch of others nothing worked. What happens is when the suspension travels up it pulls tie rod inward inturn the steering changes. Also when turning sharp near full lock the inboard wheel will turn to far causing inaccurate steering geometry.
 The tires sucked in soft sand we had an extra pair of holeshots and installed them and it was night and day diffrent. I will check on an exhast up grade for you and let you know. Thanks

With some creative engineering we have put the 150 mkII sport double A- arm on the 110 double A-arm.   Adds about 4-5" and the shocks have about twice the travel.   If you have one of the older single a-arm units you might consider selling it to a new rider who won't be riding hard.  They have inherent geometry problems as all single a-arms do.   The 150 below has the new front end will jump a moderate jump even with my 195 lb a**, and not bottom out or get scary.

I just read from another post that DG and Cobra makes pipe that should fit a 110 Kazuma engine. Do you happen to know what these compainies web sites are?  Thanks.
