What kind of motor is in a Pagsta Mini chopper?

It is a Chinese made 49cc or 98cc motor.

They are based on the Honda Z50 and upwards motors, but they are not identical,

although very similar.

Pagsta Motors are unfortunately not interchangeable with many of the cheaper Chinese pitbike motors due to the individual offset of the rear sprocket.

What types of motorcycles are shaft driven?

All BMW's(except cross country), some Honda touring bikes, the Suzuki Boulevard (and the Volusia before it) and the Yamaha V Star. I bet there are others, too. Kawasaki cruisers, Ural, some Moto Guzzi. A 1953 Sunbeam 350cc is the earliest I can remember.... Triumph, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasai, and Yamaha, have produced shaft drive motorcycles Motorcycle engines positioned such that the crankshaft is longitudinal and parallel to the frame are often used for shaft driven motorcycles. This requires only one 90° turn in power transmission, rather than two. Moto Guzzi, BMW, Triumph, and Honda use this engine layout. Motorcycles with shaft drive are subject to shaft effect where the chassis climbs when power is applied. This is counteracted with systems such as BMW's Paralever, Moto Guzzi's CARC and Kawasaki's Tetralever.

Is mild steel reasonable to use in motorcycles frame?

Mild Steel is an excellent choice of material for use in the construction of space-frames for any vehicle, motorcycles in particular due to the minimal amount required. You'll find that most motorcycle frames are constructed from Steel. It is practically an industrial standard! Steel is incredibly strong when braced correctly, yet it is able to flex slightly, which prevents metal-fatigue in small space-frames. Also, holes can be cut or drilled in it in order to keep weight down without compromising the strength of the frame; it's easy to cut & weld and it can be machined to a high degree of accuracy (for components such as the headstock. Not only is Mild Steel reasonable for use in frame construction... it is ideal!

What type of motor oil does a 1975 sportster use?

If your reffering to the motor oil (oil tank oil) then depending on your local climate, you would either run 10W-40, or 20W-50..

during the fall, or spring, when it`s say, less then 60F, you would probley want to run 10W-40....when it starts averaging 70F+, switch the the 20W-50..

this would be considering your working with a fairly tight motor..if it`s a high mileage motor, go ahead and run 20W-50 even in the fall and spring, and you may want to consider going to a striaght 50, or 60 during hot summer months..

Rev tech is very good oil, but something a little cheaper, which is what I usually run, is castrol GTX 20W-50...

the transmission, uses "primary" oil, as it shares the oil with the primary, which includes the clutches..so be sure to get actuall "primary" oil for the tranny/primary..other wise, you run the risk of slipping clutches...

hopes this helps..and for what its worth..i literally make a living out of working on bikes out of my home garage...

ride safe..
