so at the end of the week i get paid and i'm going to be upgrading my crf 50 because all it has right now are BBR bars. so far i was gonna get the stage 3 88cc stroker kit, handbrake and kitaco brake pads.. i see a bunch of stuff i want, was thinking about getting the 4 speed tranny and the manual clutch is it worth it though? anyone had issues? just kinda of curious so i don't buy something i don't need.

depends on what kind of riding you want to do, but I would say the manual tranny is cool to have but not really necessary to have a blast on your fiddy. Have you beefed up the suspension?

alright sweet thanks for the FYI, just thought it might help with wheelies but if not necessary then nvm. i'm already having a blast and its still 50cc's. i haven't done the rear suspension i was thinking of about getting the HD rear spring and HD Front Springs i think thats all i can get for the front or all i've seen at least. i do want some pegs because right now all i got on my 50 is a bicycle peg that i put on the back left side of the tire so i can still work the brake with my right foot.

I would get the big bore kit from 50Stunt and maybe a handbrake kit. I would probably skip the manual clutch. Maybe get a rear sprocket with less teeth instead of the 4 speed tranny. The suspension kit is supposed to be real nice, I've got one in the mail so we'll see.
Double rear pegs with a handbrake are super fun. It's a piece of cake to roll wheelies all day long on the things.

762SPR, Why go down in the rear. Wouldn't that cause a loss in torque??

It would only be good because it would raise the top speed. It would be a lot harder to control circles and stuff though. I'm thinking about going up in the rear
