I just traded my sons baby Kart and some cash for this full on racing kart. Its a Kali Kart with a Yamaha 100cc engine. This gearing it had on it made it capable to hit close to 100MPH. It also has a Nitro clutch. The best way to describe the centrifical clutch is that it works like a stall converter. When you hit a dialed in RPM it locks up and throws your head back!!



I took it for a spin through the neighborhood. Holy Sh*t! It scared me it was so fast.



I have since geared it down and added a more restrictive pipe. My son is 10 so this will be one to grow into.

yea those things are intense.

This is one of tha advantages to daddy being a motorhead and addicted to Autocross. I got the Kid Autocrossing in the Kart. This way I can tell the wife we are spending quality time together. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



I wish my dad got me into racing at such a young age. He used to be sponsored by Ford and di 1/4 mile. Held some local track records too.

The gearing I have in it now will slow it to about 45MPH I have also put a very restricive muffler on it. He used to Autocross a 12 y/o Alchohol Briggs Kart. It used to be a circle track kart. It would go about 50 MPH. He does pretty good. He memorizes the courses well. As hard as this is to believe I have to yell at him to push the Kart faster. He is very cautious. Which is good from a parent standpoint.

you can also add a restictor to the intake rather than having to redo the exhaust. that's how SAE limits the power potential in our Formula SAE cars.



We run a 500 lb car with a 600 cc yamaha yzf engine and use a 20mm dia restrictor. it limits it to like 75 hp.

Dude, I used to drive those back in the 6th grade as part of a sponsorship by Michael Schumacher. He used to sponsor schools with carts so we could race. I was one of the drivers for my school and also had a co-driver. It was like league basketball and flag football just with go-carts and a nice tracks. Our city was one of the VERY FEW that received the sponsorship to introduce younger kids into racing and I just had to join in.



We had a pit crew and everything. The races were held in parking lots in the open, sometimes in parking garages over a 2 floor level and the final race of the "season" was held at The Ring.



The money was only for one season, and although my school didn't win, we got 3rd overall. When I left for the states, I received my helmet as a gift by the school (had my name on it and all) and my class mates, unfortunatly, the cops took it in Frankfurt and told me that I'd get it back in NYC when I landed. I never got it back though, I miss that thing.

I have been wanting to get one of those for my son. Where did you get that one at?

I saw one on Ebay about 4 months ago. I went for a grand or so I belive.



Any more info, links other than the sticker shows, www.bonekarts.com ?

Cheers! 08-11-2003 08:22 AM

Wow, I wish my dad was into cars and racing. As it stands now, I know more about cars than he does (and I don't know all that much).

DaddyMac 08-11-2003 10:43 AM

I didn't even have a bicycle at 10 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif
