One last thing about my Pocket bike Ninja X1 PLEASE HELP!

[X1Ryan]

Ok i've charged my bike and now the electric start works. After 5 or 10 seconds tho, the motor goes dead. I know that that is what most pocket bikes do but my question is when it was running, i pushed on the throttle and nothing happened. the bike didnt move at all? do i need to charge it more to get it going or something or do i need to start pushing the bike? I press the gas all the way and still nothing happens? What could this be? Do i need to open the air gate adjuster or somethign? One of my friends told me i needed to tighten the spark plug or somethign? i dunno what this could be. You guys have already been plenty helpful but please help me with this one last thing !! THANK YOU!

when you give it gas does the motor rev high and when you push does it make like a grinding noise?

[heavyarmscustom]

is your throttle cable even hooked up to the carb, mine falls off sometimes

[X1Ryan]

Throttle cable? Maybe that is it, when i gas it, it kinda makes a revving noise. Also, is the throttle on the x1 supposed to be pretty loose and then once u turn it a lot itll tighten up more cuz mine is kinda loosE? is that because the cable isnt connected or whateveR?

edit: Ok i started the bike up and now know the throttle does not work whatsoever. It doesnt rev the bike, it doesn't do anything! what can i do!? i followed some of the tubes that are running from the throttle and they just go to this one place where there are a bunch of bunched up cables! Please please help me i just want to ride already! lol
please!

take it back to who you bought it from and kick them in the twins . seem like that bike is giving you more problems than it should, or is worth

did you read the manual before you start it? try open the air gate switch(flip it down), it is the black switch right by the air filter, you will see it, it's the only switch it has there.

but for it to work properly, you HAVE to follow the starting procedure in the manual to get the motor up and going.

Check this.

Maby you need to put the choke down so the thing will go foward lol. If you already did that and doesnt go, then bring it back to where u bought it from!

ok there should only be one cable from the throttle to the carb. If theres a cable next to it, it is most likely the electric start cable(don't follow this one) Follow just the throttle cable down to the carb. and check if it is connected. If it is, then when you twist the throttle the spring on the top of the carb should squeeze in. If it doesn't then connect it. If the cable is connected, then check the choke switch and make sure it is all the way down. If none of this works then throw it away and buy a new one.

i also have a pocketbike ninja x1 i can help you

[pocketbike x1]

i have the same pocktbike x1 what u do is step 1. take off the plastice engine cover and on top of the engine there should be a silver throttle cable wire and when u turn the throttle the disc that holds the wire should turn and if there is no wire it probably has snapped ive had the same problem to me when i rode the ninja x1.dont woory u can easily buy another one off the net they usually cost about $18.00
