There are two different cans you have seen injecting one thing or another into your pocket bike carb area. One is the popular boost bottle and then there is the Nos. The difference is the fuel/air mixture in the boost bottle comes from your bike itself and the Nos comes from an injected flammable chemical into your carb. Nos will provide you a better boost.
The Nos system described here is not actually a “Nos” system but will serve a similar purpose and is home made. It is simple to build and easy to install.
Parts list
1. Solenoid from automatic sprinkler controller.
2. Spray can with flammable substance (starter fuel).
3. Zip ties
4. Spray can cap
5. 5ft of red electrical wire, 5ft of another color
6. Two screws
7. Super glue
8. Flexible tube 4 ft
9. Momentary switch
10. Crimp-able connectors or soldering iron
From the list above things like the tube will change setup based on where you put the spray canister.
Once you have assembled the system like shown in the picture (see link below) you will need to attach the solenoid to your battery and switch through a series circuit. There is no +/- on the solenoid just connect to any terminal. This is very easy to do and gives you the flex-ability to use different flammable sprays. One side of the tube attaches to the little indent in the stray button on the bottle and the other end goes into your carb, you can better your performance by adding a spray jet to the carb side of the tube. See the link below for the diagram.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (April 19, 2010) – When the dust finally settles on this Icelandic volcano, it’s going to kick right back up again in Las Vegas when mini bike tires spin and dirt flies for the seventh running of the GEICO Powersports MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, at the Orleans Arena. And on the line is the first-ever MMSX World Final race, featuring – along with the American greats – 18 of the world’s top international mini cycle racing stars representing seven countries on four continents.
“It’s going to make for some unreal racing here at the Orleans on May 7th.”
The list of mini riders battling for the coveted title of MMSX World Champ reads like a who’s who of the mini industry’s top racers – similar to a gate featuring the likes of McGrath, Carmichael, Stewart, Villopoto and Pourcel on the big bikes. Led by defending French 10″ mini cycle champion Mike Valade, the hyper-fast French contingent will give the Americans – led by defending GEICO MMSX champ Michael Blose, and former champ Derek Costella – all they can handle. Other French greats making the trip over include: Jimmy Peyras (12″ French champ), Alexander Barbosa, Remi, Tirvaudey, Baptiste Alexandre and French female mini racer Laura Bruneau will attempt to top the women’s class.
Additional European stars making the trek over to challenge for the MMSX World Final title include: Swedish great Ander Persson, Belgium’s David Segers and the UK’s top mini cycle racer, David Alexander.
Australia should give French riders a good run for their money as the No. 1 challengers to the top Americans. The Aussies are led by current national champion Brad Smith, Tasmanian champ Garry Wellman, Shaun Howe, veteran great Matt Skerrett and Mike Reefman – who raced the MXGPs in the past.
Japan will also send over two of its top mini racers in Tomokuni Osada and Hirouma Igura, while dropping down from Canada to spin some laps in hopes of bringing home the MMSX World Final title will be Danny Riverin and Sam Lessard.
“GEICO MiniMotoSX hasn’t enjoyed an international field of this magnitude since the event’s inception in 2004,” added Karsting. “The eventual 2010 MMSX World Final champ has a big job ahead of him, which will no doubt make for some incredible racing for those in attendance.”
The annual GEICO MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, is the largest indoor motorsports competition of its kind. With more than 600 registered riders in 2009 the event literally allows for mini bike enthusiasts to become part of the show. As one racer put it: “At GEICO MiniMotoSX you don’t just show up and watch racing in Vegas – you boot up and get on the track yourself to race in front of a packed house at the Orleans.” Featuring numerous classes at all age and ability levels, GEICO MiniMotoSX delivers an unforgettable day of racing action for both fans and racers alike, along with an affordable ‘Vegas experience’ given the hotel and ticket package at the Orleans Hotel and Arena.

After three years of referring pit bike sales to OutlawPowersports.com they claim that they never had an affiliate program. After three years!
Here is their response:
“we do not nor have we ever had any type of affiliate program….We really have no idea how you were able to add yourself as an affiliate.”
Well it was available for anyone over the last three years. I wonder how much money they made off of other people’s referrals. I can just imagine how their orders are handled. Yikes!

Wales welcomed the team with almost perfect conditions for Rd3 of the Minibike Masters Championship. As we crossed the Severn Bridge the sun was out whilst on route to the CMX Centre in Cardiff. Team rider Johnny Groves was already at the facility putting the finishing touches to the track which looked to favour the larger capacity bikes with it’s long, fast, wide, rutted motocross style – a total contrast to the smooth technical BMX style tracks we are used to riding.
As the weather took a turn for the worst late Saturday evening, we all new that Sundays conditions were going to be a little different to the bright sunshine we experienced on our drive down. As suspected the weather during the night has wet and windy although the track was perfect for the first group of morning races. In the 88cc Pro Class we had some close racing and again Mat Allen, on board his BBR race bike, proved consistant riding is the key with another trophy to add to his collection and a 3rd overall. Johnny Groves had yet another bike problem after his throttle stuck open in race 1 launching him 30ft+ off the top of a jump! Johnny was extremely lucky to get away with no major injury although the bike unfortunately was beyond repair for the remainder of Rd3. Guest motox-collect.com rider Lee Hill showed his talent and despite the wet/muddy conditions rode three excellent races to get 1st overall. So a 1st and 3rd place for the team with both guys running TBparts 88cc Race Head Kits.
Debbie Phelps, in the KLX Super Stock Class, has been training hard since the last round and this showed in her riding. Debs looked far more comfortable on the bike although it did seem that the heavens opened prior to each race making the conditions extremely difficult. At times it looked more like an endurance race! Debs yet again put a few lads to shame with a 10th overall on the day and is really looking forward to the sand at the Doncaster Moto Park for Rd4. Despite being battered and bruised after his crash in the 88cc Pro Class Johnny Groves proved why he’s the reigning No.1 in the KLX Super Stock Class. Plagued with yet more bike issues after his KLX110 lost all rebound in his rear shock Johnny still managed to ride 110% and get 1st overall on the day.
Gary Phelps in the Mid Size Clubman Class also had a good weekends racing. His TBparts/BBR bike was running well and he was making some very good starts and riding with the leading pack finishing 4th.
So, a much better weekend for the team with 3 podium wins. Lets hope we can keep up momentum for Rd4
at DMP in Doncaster.
Current Series Standings
88cc Pro Class: Mat Allen (1st), Johnny Groves (4th), Lee Hill (7th)
KLX Super Stock Class: Johnny Groves (6th), Debbie Phelps (11th)
Mid Size Clubman Class: Gary Phelps (6th)
Finally, we could not have done this without the help of our ‘Official Partners’, so a big thanks to our primary team sponsor BBR Motorsports, along with TBParts, Alpinestars, Fro Systems, Mojo/Fox Racing Shox, Windwave/Marzocchi UK, Smith Goggles, Fiddy Forum, Monster Energy, MD Racing/UFO Plastics, Spiral GFX and Evoke Concepts for your help and product support!

The Electric Pocket Bikes Rise In Popularity
Jul 24
2009
Traditionally gas powered, pocket bikes are becoming increasingly popular as a result of the introduction of electric pocket bikes. They are changing the way pocket bikes are being viewed and against common misconception, the speed and power provided by an electric engine rivals that of traditional pocket bikes.
Now widely popular around the world, it was originally developed in Japan and was popular for performing tricks and racing. Due to the added safety electric pocket bikes offer, it spread to Europe and the United States with much excitement. The reputation of being dangerous and loud is now countered by the electric engine.
On the other hand, the electric engine is a smooth quiet ride that stores as much as 700 watts of power in an electric motor. It provides a big image boost for the pocket bike industry since the quiet and environment friendly engine is inviting to the more noise conscious crowd.
There is still a lot of excitement and thrill in riding pocket bikes that remained intact in the development of the electric version. And because of the safety improvement, the pocket bike industry can expect to see more young customers with permission from their parents.
The electric pocket bikes usually come with the necessary safety equipment including knee and elbow pads and a helmet. Also, both front and rear disk brakes are vented and can be adjusted by using the brake caliper to help prevent any wear that might damage the brake pads.
Many new models are designing their tires with an interior airtight seal to minimize the chances of getting a flat. Because of its size, this is a huge safety improvement that prevents severity of an accident that may result from flatting.
To prevent theft, there is a small lock over the ignition keyhole. This just might prove enough deterrent to mitigate any petty criminal with nothing more than itchy hands. And expect the get attention with some models sporting a tinted windshield, instrument light, and flare that gives the bike a little edge in the looks department.
For some kids young and old, or really old, this is a dream toy. And for parents, it’s a relief to be able to give their child a high end toy that borders the real deal with less risk to safety. It is easy to see why electric pocket bikes are increasingly popular. The racers can start their practicing young and can upgrade to power pocket rockets as they get older and more experienced.
Mini Motos Guide
Jul 23
2009
If you think the idea of racing around on a miniature motorcycle inches from the ground sounds like fun? you’d be right. Mini motos are the latest motorcycle craze, and if you’ve ever seen grown adults on pocket-sized motorbikes and wondered what it was all about, or want to know more, this guide is for you.
What is a mini moto?
Mini motos are small petrol-powered motorcycles, usually 39cc or 49cc. However, they are sometimes larger, up to 110cc.
Where can mini motos be ridden?
These bikes are intended for use on private land or racetracks, rather than road use. If you want to ride a mini moto you need to find a race track or get permission to use private land.
Fields are often unsuitable as mini motos have very low ground clearance and no suspension. If you want to ride on rough terrain then your best bet would be a mini dirt bike, which is made for off-road conditions.
What kind of mini motos are available?
There are several kinds of mini moto that can be bought from specialist outlets. If you are looking to buy a mini moto then there are several factors which need to be considered.
Firstly, you need to decide what you want it for. If you are planning on racing, then you will need a race-certified mini moto, such as a Blata or Polini. These can be raced in competitions as they adhere to regulations set by mini moto racing organisations.
If you are looking to ride your minimoto around private grounds just for fun, then you might not want to spend so much money. In that case, you could look for one of the many good value imports from China.
However, if you are inexperienced on two wheels, you might want to consider a mini ATV. These are great for beginners as they have the same engine as most minimotos but they use four wheels instead of two.
If you think you’re too big for a Mini moto then you could try a midi moto – these are ideal for people with longer legs. The downside is they aren’t as quick as mini motos due to the extra weight but they are available with a full electronics pack including electric start and lights, etc, and can be just as much fun.
Once you have made your choice, shop around to find the best deal. Some companies will sell the minimoto with extras such as helmets, or performance upgrades so it is always best to search far and wide for the best deal.
Make sure that you have the correct equipment to ride, including all the protective equipment, and then you’re good to go!

Mini Moto sensation Matt Guse.
CALLIOPE Mini moto racer Matthew Guse has picked up this week’s Yaralla Sports Star of the Week.
Despite only a short period of involvement in the sport, 19-year-old Guse is one of the top senior riders in the country.
Mini moto racing was developed in the late 1970s and involves racing on adapted 50cc motorbikes on go-kart tracks.
Guse won his second Queensland title in as many years at the state championships in Archerfield at Easter, and is also competing in the national series.
Last weekend he took part in the second round of the Australian championships in Wollongong.
After picking up a few first place finishes, he unfortunately had a minor crash, causing some mechanical difficulties and leaving him unable to continue.
Despite this, Guse sits in equal second place leading into the final round in Brisbane in September.
The 19-year-old said he was hoping to “get a few firsts and take the round out”.
The Calliope teenager has been involved in the sport for three years, being involved with friends a few years ago.
A member of the CQ Mini Moto club, Guse practises on the Gladstone and Rockhampton kart tracks.
The thing he enjoys most about the sport is the feeling while racing.
“It gets the adrenaline going with people around you overtaking.”
His goal for the season was to “see how I can go, take it out and carry on next year”.

HILLSDALE, Mich., (July 7, 2009) – Cobra’s “Stars of Tomorrow” mini bike race, open to all brands of 50cc Sr. class mini cycles, was a big hit with the fans attending the RedBud MX National this past weekend as nearly 30 little guys booted up and raced RedBud’s night track as part of RedBud’s FanFest activities. With a pro rider-like autograph session set up at the SuperSports booth, and played up big on the local NBC channel http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/49898452.html# Cobra’s “Stars of Tomorrow” made the young guys of our sport feel like kings for one big night of fun at RedBud. “So many times these guys just get to race in front of mom and dad, grandma and grandpa. So we thought it’d be nice to take one event this summer and make it a big time event for these deserving young racers,” said Sean Hilbert, President of Cobra Motorcycle. “RedBud provided the perfect forum for this as there were hundreds of people hanging out there on Friday night during FanFest and came down to watch the little guys get after it.” The top five racers from Cobra’s “Stars of Tomorrow” event were: Place Name Results Hometown Bike Following the opening practice the “Stars of Tomorrow” riders all lined up at several tables for a big autograph session. Signing away with Sharpies on Cobra hero cards, kids reveled in the chance at being just like the pro riders. And other kids and adults, curious as to if they might be getting a signed piece of MX memorabilia that a decade from now could read: Davi Millsaps, Mike Alessi, Trey Canard, Austin Stroupe and Nico Izzi - all of whom used to race Cobras – lined up and got the signatures, then tucked them away for safe keeping. “Cobra was pleased to invite all the kids, regardless of what brand bike they were on, to the event,” added Hilbert. “And every kid not only walked away with an armful of swag (courtesy of SuperSports, Skullcandy and Nitro Circus), but also with a feeling as to what it’s like to be the stars of the motocross track.” Cobra, founded in 1993, produces the most successful line of competition mini cycles and mini quads in the United States with more than 200 national titles in the last decade.
