Af18 Zx50 Gear Set Questions.

I have a 2001 Zx50 that I finished this spring and I have some questions regarding interchangability of gears. I am a trooper when it comes to tirelessly searching for answers, I have yet to see a difinitive answer on remedying the lack of gear choices for the zx50 and I was hoping someone somewhere...

Re: Zx50 Corsa build, Please please critique my cvt setups.

definitely, you want to be 4-5G on the rollers. Also check quish, to be safe. If your too tight you'll burn a hole in your piston. yeah that would suck. My next question to you is I went from 6.0g sliders to 5.5 sliders and it would hit the over revv at around 55-60mph so I went back to 6g and it w...

Re: Zx50 Corsa build, Please please critique my cvt setups.

Hi mt. I'm not an expert ,but what I would do. Sounds like you need to go down to 5g or lower on your variator, 1000- 1500 on rear clutch and center spring. Check your compression. around 135 is good. High compression May also give you a pinging noise. GL. Thanks, yeah my compression was just at 15...

Zx50 Corsa build, Please please critique my cvt setups.

The issue is that I see and or read of everyone elses af...

Af18 Corsa with new Corsa Race Pipe results, what next?

Took the PG long pipe off my Zx50 after G9 talked me into the Corsa Race pipe. The Corsa pipe is an animal, however I am not a veteran, actually pretty new to it so I have not tested anything but the two pipes listed. I did however come from the 2, stroke atv dirkbike world so I know a good power cu...

Re: Af18 zx50 corsa build. Is my pipe holding me back?

pg is dead after 9200rpm. There is no reason you shouldn't be spinning 11,500-12k. There will be guys saying they do 80mph on a stock corsa with pg. Sure, maybe if you were to go down a cliff, or down a mountain pass tucked with gravity and a tailwind. Look how hard it falls apart. This is on a cor...

Re: Af18 zx50 corsa build. Is my pipe holding me back?

I have 2 elites, one with the c16 and other with the arrow. Both pull really hard. Ive also heard the polini pipe in action on g9's bike in person. Its sounds animal! I had really stiff clutch springs maxed and realized i was just wasting alot of low rpms cuz the beginning of my band was right arou...

Re: Af18 zx50 corsa running extremely hot.

check compression and squish, report back with the numbers. we have seen some oddball deck height differences in these honda blocks. Your comp is either too high, or you have an air leak. Your super fat jetting suggests an air leak. I run the same setup at sea level and its a 108 main on the same c...

Af18 zx50 corsa running extremely hot.

hi, I have a zx50 that I had been doing the finishing touches on tuning then added the Corsa pipe and it is dangerously hot all of a sudden, creeps around 330-350 on my vapor but when I hit cruising speeds of 40mph or more it sits on 400 degrees sometimes a little more. I can leave my house and driv...
