misscrabstick Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 No, do you have clutch slip? do the revs rise yet it goes no faster? that's clutch slip, being 50cc it's never going to be a ball of fire in best form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d2w Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) My son had a TXT50, and I seem to recall that it had a dual-function clutch arrangement; is there a clutch lever as well as an automatic clutch mechanism? On my son's bike I removed the clutch lever and replaced it with a rear brake (and removed the rear brake pedal). This was done to be an easier transition from his OSET which had its controls setup that way. Perhaps your clutch level mechanism is preventing the automatic clutch from fully engaging? And don't expect the TXT50 to do big walls and splats. Use it to teach the basics and how to start a gas motor, how not to get burnt, etc. Clutch control too. And start shopping for the next bike right now. I went with a GG TXT80 but it too was so down on power; but still a good platform to learn gear selection, etc. I have no experience with it but I've heard good things about the Beta Rev80 with the big wheels. Have fun. Edited June 25, 2020 by d2w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
