First Ride On The Yamaha PW50

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Ask almost any dirt bike rider what their first bike was and the answer will most likely be the Yamaha PW50. For over 30 years the Yamaha PW50 two-stroke minibike has remained virtually unchanged and for good reason, it has a low seat height, is easy to maintain and is very beginner friendly. Fixing up an older, used PW50 is simple and that is just what Senior Editor Adam Booth did with this 20-year-old PW50 off Craigslist. It had compression and spark, but would not run due to a clogged carburetor. Purchase price was $200 and with $200 in parts and elbow grease it looks close to new and runs great. Here is four-year-old Paxton’s first day on the PW50 after spending a year riding an Oset 12.5 electric trials bike. The throttle stop screw was adjusted on the PW50 to keep the speeds down and a little bit of drag was added to the rear brake to help slow Paxton down since his hands aren’t yet big enough to pull the hand brakes.

    So cool. I bought my son a brand new one on his 4th birthday back in 2006. Paid cash at the dealership full price and the salesman didn't want to throw in anything except for a few stickers But it was getting late and we were at the dealership so I bought it right there But we got our stickers and I kept my promise to my little boy. He's turning 21in a few months and that 4th birthday seems like yesterday..

    I’m used to my full size bikes, but my friend told me to ride his son’s PW 50 down the street and back. I’m about 190lbs and I was impressed at how fast I managed to get that thing to go. It really was impressive. lol

    I would fuck around on my sons back in 2004 and I would ride it up to the gas station to buy beet. Then when he got older Iet him ride his bigger bike all around. My younger days me and my brother had a few bikes and damn if we didn't get our 1988 Yamaha Yamaha Big Wheel *80 impounded on a regular basis. My dad would get pissed But my mom would just say to my dad "take them out riding more often then" They were great parents. Miss them both vary much

    Cute kid! He was well balanced on it and very sure of himself. But as I remember, you said he started off on a electric bike, so he would of went through the initial awkward stage of getting on a bike. Anyway, good for him.
