Looking for Mini Motos for Sale

If you're looking for mini motos for sale, you're part of a growing crowd. These are often miniature versions of some of the greatest racing bikes around. The difference is the speed and size. The Mini Moto normally has a two-stroke engine that's either air-cooled or water-cooled.

If you're looking for used Mini Motos for sale meant for racing, check the condition of the engine. Make sure the previous owner used the proper oil mixture and didn't try alcohol based racing fuel to try to get better performance.

If he did, the mixture probably ran lean and didn't deliver enough of the oil to the engine of the bike. Even if the engine didn't seize, it can cause some major problems. Of course, a rich mixture is almost just as bad and can make the bike run sluggish.

You also must be careful of used Mini Motos for sale that weren't properly broken in during the run in period. If the previous owner revved the motor to the max during this time or didn't use the proper blend of oil to fuel, 25:1, during the first three or four tanks, he might have damaged the motor.

Ask plenty of questions. The "run in" also helps lubricate all the parts to give better handling and allow the brakes to bed themselves. If you're buying new, follow the instructions with the bike carefully.

The answer - A dirt bike pic ?

Pictures inform as much as the descriptions - especially online. Auction sites and classifieds normally have the opportunity for the seller to take snaps of the mini dirt bike from all angles.

Is there a part of the bike you can’t see? Why would that be? And are there components on the mini Moto crosser you don’t recognise? All these things should be emailed to the seller - a MX picture (if you look within the detail) really is worth a thousand words.
