I had an 81’ atc 110 a couple years ago me and my daughter restored, I have a not running big red sitting at a coworkers house in Iowa right now just waiting on me to get the time to go pick it up as well
🔧 BUILD 1quick’s pit bike builds
- Thread starter 1quick
- Start date
We will have the full range of pit bikes now ranging from 8-20+hp this one is about as big of a build as possible, after this I’m going to do a bit of work to the street bike
Brett, I have a 1996 Kawasaki ZX-9R sitting in my garage that needs a serious refreshing, including partial tear down of the mechanicals, and likely a lot of vacuum/rubber hose replacement. I don't think the engine needs any work outside of the carbs being cleaned and linkage fixed. If you ever want a six month project that you can casually work on, you just let me know. Has a fully Muzzys exhaust that is nicely broken in, and makes a helluva nice noise at 4400rpm.
Course, it's a 4-stroker, so you might have to avert your eyes and wear an extra layer of protection.

Painted the clutch and flywheel covers black with this allegedly awesome acrylic duplicolor paint that’s supposed to be harder like exterior car finish, I’m going to do the cylinder and head and swing arm also, tore down the motor to verify the crank is really a stroker crank, and that the case was bored correctly for the 67mm piston and cylinder, I have a new cylinder and piston to throw in it and a bigger cam, the head is a legit big valve ported race head verified valve size, has those bad ass forged aluminum roller rockers I used in my other pit bike
Painting more parts today, the cylinder, head intake and oil filter cover all finished up, I’m probably going to do the swing arm and wheels soon, I might wait till I have the tire for the rear before I do the wheels, I always scratch the rim trying to get the tires on, it’s a pain in the ass trying to put tires on these little rims
Motors going back together pretty good, I got my new cam in, looks like it’s a lot more aggressive than the other one just looking at the lobes on it, hooked up the decompression threw the new piston in and she’s looking blinged out
So I pulled the swing arm off today to prep it for paint and was looking at the back wheel I was going to paint that as well and noticed a crack in the hub at the wheel bearing, this is a bummer I can’t trust that to not break since I will be racing and jumping this ol girl, so I ordered a set of bad ass rims for it and they were expensive as balls, but worth it since I won’t have to paint them now and the hubs are anodized blue
It does seem pretty good, it’s not fully cured yet it says it takes 7 days to fully cure but I can wipe it with a rag and it doesn’t scratch real easy, I’m starting to think about dropping the motor and pulling the forks and just having the frame and swing arm powder coated since I’m already this far along
I thought so. I was hoping to see a post on swapping in a pit bike motor into the 110. I have been kicking around the idea of trying. My nephew just bought a 70 with a piranha. I'd want a bigger frame but it seems more difficult to swap a 110 because of the frame.
I’ve seen a bunch of 70s swapped , I don’t remember the way the engine was mounted on the 110 but I can’t imagine it’s a lot different once you get to the 125 they are vertical mounted but the 110’s are normally horizontal, I’ve seen 190 swaps onto the 70’s that would be rowdy
Seems the sparing is off and you need to make brackets to get the pit bike motor in the right spot for the chain alignment. When you do the pegs placement put your heels in the tires if you wear a show larger than a 5.
I saw a guy swapping a new fuel injected crf110 motor into a 70 recently on one of the pit bike Facebook groups, it would be a super fun swap even the 140 can be rowdy I have one on my gpx that’s probably 15+ hp I’m sure the old 110 was probably only 4-5hp
I’m going all in on this acrylic paint hopefully it holds up, I picked up a big out door sand blaster yesterday and blasted the frame and threw 3 coats of the same acrylic black on it, this is after the first coat, going to do the peg mount rear cradle and swing arm today
Finished sand blasting the swing arm today, found this pearl acrylic clear coat and tried that over the black on the swing arm, I think it looks pretty cool may do it to the frame if I don’t get the wheels in a timely fashion, I have to wait 7 days for the paint on the frame to cure, at this point I’m basically just waiting for parts, the foot peg mount I found was cracked after I sand blasted it, I would have welded it but it was a pretty shitty mount anyway, I ordered a new rear cradle as well that’s made to work with the skid plate I have coming, so I’m currently waiting on rims, rear tire, cradle and peg mount, also need to find a new brake lever for the brembo master cylinder, and order a rim lock for the rear, then assemble and it will become a bike again real quick, I may throw an electric start back on it now that it has the decomp cam also it should be able to start fairly easy now
I got the new cradle and foot peg mount today so I worked on this think for an hour or so this afternoon, going back together now, I’m waiting on new rims and a skid plate but I have everything to make it a roller now on the old rims, I can at least get it together and heat cycle the motor a few times so it’s ready to ride when the rims come
Whenever your back up this way, I have dirt bikes from 5hp all the way up to 55hp you can try outDude, can I ride it
