Depends entirely on how hard you go at it, and for how long you stay at it.

How fast does a 196cc mini bike go?

The answer "That can vary from model and manufacturer but with nearly 200cc's of displacment you should have enough power to get up around the 60mph even 70mph mark easily, although going that fast on a minibike would make me pretty nervous." is completely unfounded and a guess based on a street scooter or street bike. The 196cc mini bikes that have become popular recently average between 14 mph - 19 mph. They are not made for the road, they are not licensable as they are not equipped to be driven on the road and do not qualify to be considered a scooter. These bikes are not legal for street use in any state in the U.S.A. These 196cc mini-bikes are currently being sold as BAJA WARRIOR WR65 and IS A 6.5 HP 196 CC with a HOMELITE ENGINE or possibly other engine brands as well. Tractor Supply currently has a large supply of these. AVERAGE Price is between $499.00 - $699 depending upon retailer mark-up.

What is the fuel-oil mix ratio on a 2004model cr250?

This would depend on what type of oil you will be using for your premix. The oil base stock is either petroleum, semi-synthetic or synthetic oil and is mixed with gas at a ratio ranging from 16:1 (petroleum) to as high as 100:1 (synthetic). I personally ride a 2001 Kawasaki KDX200 that I run Yamalube 2R at 36:1 with no problems. Although synthetics say you can mix them at 100:1 I would not, that seems way too lean to me. i use a 40:1 mix in my rm but i use a suzuki highgrade oil so naturally the better quality oil you use the leaner you can go but unless you like rebuilding top ends dont go leaner then 40:1. DONT USE CHEAP OIL . WITH A CHEAP CRAPPY BRAND YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN IT ON A RICHER MIX LIKE 32:1 BUT THIS WILL CAUSE THE SPARK PLUG TO FOWL VERY QUICKLY AND EVEN THOUGH THE MIX IS RICHER THAN A HIGH GRADE 40:1 MIX IT WONT BURN AND LUBRICATE NEARLY AS WELL AS THE HIGHRADE STUFF.

Where is the VIN on a Yamaha TTR-50?

What Is more dangerous Supercross or horse racing?

Yes motocross is more dangerous than bullring because in motocross you have less stability and in motocross your engine can over heat and catch on fire in bullring a bull will never go 120 mph or catch on fire and in motocross if you crash on the wrong side of a jump you can get crushed by 20 to 30 bikes that speed up as they hit the ground or you a bull can ram you and step on you but not as much as a dirtbike race and if you wheelie over it can break your back and if you endo the bike you can break your neck and back so therefore motocross is more dangerous.

What is the correct oil to fuel ratio for a 1984 Kawasaki KDX 200?

I have a 1986 rm 250 and I mix it 35 to 1 I just got the bike rebuilt then once its broken in I was told go 50 to 1

I would stick to around 50:1 almost always, you can lean the oil out alittle and go 40:1, but the leaner you go the more chance you take on friction building up and then the motor will sieze. Almost everything I own that is two cycle (minus my old chainsaw) is 50:1 and the chainsaw that's 40:1, I run it at 50:1 and it runs fine and alot of power. I would check the spark plug after 3-4 hour of riding and see if it still is pretty clean and then go 40:1 if the spark plug is getting gunked up.

Where can you look up if a dirt bike has been stolen?

That can be a bit difficult. The easiest way is to ask the seller to show you an original receipt from the store. If that doesn't work you can take the serial number of the bike, contact the police(not on the emergency number!) and ask if it's been reported stolen. Don't expect too much from that though, not many people note the serial number of their bikes.
