Pit bike tutorial: learning how to ride an SSR 125cc pit bike

At ScooterMadness.com, we’re mad about scooters. But that’s not all we’re mad about. We’re also big fans of the 110cc, 125cc, 140cc , 150cc and 160cc pit bikes from SSR.

These bikes are durable and inexpensive, making them truly unique in the marketplace.

The fine folks at Max Speed Media have put together a great video tutorial of how to start, shift gears and ride an SSR 125 pit bike.

In this video you will learn how to start a pit bike, use the choke, locate the kill switch, turn the fuel on/off, operate the gear selector and clutch … everything you need to be up and running on a new SSR pit bike.

The video above features the SSR 125cc Pit Bikes which is the perfect option for first time riders who need to learn how the clutch and transmission work together with the engine to propel the bike forward.

For casual riders, there’s the SSR125SEMI semi-automatic and the SR125AUTO fully automatic transmission pit bike models to choose from. Our pick is the semi-automatic, as it provides a very similar thrill factor to the full manual but with less of learning curve.

Which would you choose?
