Pocket bikes today come off the assembly line and are not built with the same heart and grit they once were. Still there are pocket bike enthusiasts who prefer something a little more customized than the standard mass produced toys in the market today. For these people, there are a number of shops who specialize in supplying parts for pocket bikes and many of them also sell their inventory online.

The parts that are available can be categorized by their contribution and function to the entirety of the pocket bike. There are engine parts that are specific to the functions of the engine, frame parts that are specific to the exterior and body of the bike, and there are performance parts that are upgrades of parts that already exist. Together they can totally change the way a pocket bike looks and rides.

The pocket bike engine is very similar to a lawn mowing engine and differs only in the build. The common law mower and pocket bike engines are both usually four stroke and about the same size. However, you can’t build a pocket bike with a lawn mowing engine because the engine shaft is aligned in different directions.

What you can do, however, is find an engine that is specially built for pocket bikes. These engines are now improved for the specialized needs of a pocket bike. Double stroke engines are easily available at most bike shops and offer around 49cc of power. You can also find something that has 110cc for larger bikes like the super pocket rockets.

The frames makes up what most would consider the body of the bike. It is the visible shell that gives it the stunning look as well as the interior skeleton that holds the pieces together. It also includes the seats and tired. Anything that can be seen visually can be part of the frame and it is what supports the weight of the bike itself and its rider.

Performance parts range from simple amateur mods to professional mods. These are any customizations that give the bike more power by optimizing its performance and making it more fun for the rider. This can be small things like changing the air filter to more advanced modifications such as a two piece compression head kit or changing the reed cage. The great thing about these parts is that the owner can do as much or as little and get correlating improvements to his bike.

Accessories are also available and put in a category of its own because it doesn’t serve the performance or functioning of the bike directly. Accessories are things like LCD screens and upgraded seating which do nothing to improve the bikes performance but does improve the rider’s experience.

Pocket bike parts allow the owners to customize their bikes to their hearts content. Some would even buy a kit and build it themselves. For hands on pocket bike enthusiasts, the only limit is their imagination and wallet.

Once you bring home a new pocket bike, there are breaking in procedures that need to be done. It is easy to get excited and want to ride around at top speed but if you do not properly break in the bike you risk cutting the engine life by almost half. That means you will be pouring money to maintain the bike much earlier than you should. There are many techniques to properly break in your new bike but two of the most popular strategies stand out.

The first method of breaking in a new pocket bike is known as heat cycling. It begins by turning on the engine to idle or just above idle for about five or ten minutes. The engine will only be slightly warmed and still cooler than normal operating conditions. Let the engine cool down after the five or ten minutes of idling. Once the engine has cooled down, bring it back up by letting it idle for an additional ten minutes and then turn it off to cool down once more. Do this for a total of four cycles.

Now that the engine has cooled after the final warm up we need to break it in with a little riding. Ride the bike at a slow and easy pace until the tank is emptied. The important thing is to not stress the engine by revving the engine too hard or speeding up too fast. Once the entire tank of gas is done, the bike is ready for normal riding on its next tank.

The second method of breaking in the pocket bike is considered to be more fun because it involves some riding action. First thing is letting the engine idle for about five minutes to warm up a little. Then, slowly bring up the throttle very gently. Bring it up to where the clutch would engage to keep the bike from lurching if there was too much throttle applied during riding.

When you take the bike for the ride, slowly break in the tires by running a lap at a very slow speed. On the second lap, speed up the bike and try to focus on hitting as wide a range of RPMs as possible by accelerating and decelerating frequently.

During the first fifteen minutes of riding try not to push the engine too hard nor ride too slow. It is also important to check that the engine is sufficiently warmed before beginning the second lap. Throughout the ride, make sure the clutch does not engage fully or it will burn. It is obvious when the clutch is fully engaged by the bucking of the engine or the sound it will make.

Now that your bike is ready it is time to hit the tracks hard and appreciate the full potential of your pocket bike. Remember to always follow safety instructions and wear proper gear when riding.
