ok so i have a ninja super bike.just bought a new 49cc engine,clutch..got it all hooked up and mounted last night..got it cranked..but it spins backwards..any way i can get it going the right way? its a free floating sprocket in the back so it just spins around since its going in reverse pretty much.it needs to go the other way for it to catch and tire to spin.:thinking: Random i kno..but its general tech

49cc.....weak.

you need to check craigslist for super pocket bikes. my buddy got one for 300, 110cc. it hauls.

u probably need to put a CVT on it....or any other kind of pocketbike or miniscooter gear-reduction tranny that'll reverse the direction of the engine's rotation....

Haha....i just transferred from a pocketbike/mini-scooter forum and upgraded to cars so i know a lot more about minibikes than i do about cars so far...:D

its not, from the front of the engine, it should spin clockwise, counter from the rear. go look at the flywheel, if it spins counter clockwise, then its fine.the engine does not spin backwards unless you have it in gear and drag it backwards.

yes it will.....the ones from the china pocketbikes DO reverse the engines rotation.
