Hello All,

My name is Jim, my wife & I own www.kidatvs.com (http://www.kidatvs.com) we have been selling Redcats & Kazumas for a little over 2 yrs locally & a little over 1 yr on the net & selling Unisons for about 6 months. The Redcats & Kazumas are great entry level machines for those of you who don't want to spend 2k or more on a machine for kid or yourself for that matter. The Unisons are very well put together machines & I would have no problem comparing them to the major brands, but yet at a cheaper price. I just wanted to introduce myself as a new atvriders advertiser (I'm not a new member, been a member since 2002) & to let everyone know that we are not only here to sell atvs, but to help you service them, get parts, etc etc. Feel free to email, fax or call us for anything or feel free to post on here your likes & dislikes of these machines & lets make this a open discussion so everyone is comfortable with buying them or not. We will be looking for anyway that we can help you. Thanks, Jim & Tara

Hi Jim. Thanks. It has been an adventure to try to find an affordable yet reliable ATV for ym 6 y.o son. I checked with a dealer near my location and in California 4-strokes are the preferred as they burn cleaner and can be used year around. He said 2-strokes can only be used at certain time of the year. So now we are trying to find a nice, affordable 4-stroke for our son. We sat him on the Honda TRX90 to check for fit and it's not a problem. Do you have any suggestions on good 4-strokes that we could review? Seems like your sight only had 2-strokes in the 90cc size and the otehrs were "sold out"....

Thanks, Kent

Hello, Yep I only have 90cc 2 strokes at this time. I have a new 80cc 4 stroke coming out in July, but I don't have a red or green sticker for it yet for CA use, its very expensive to get it approved so it will be a few months just to get a red sticker. All the atvs we sell are also Red stickered in CA, even though they are 4 strokes. Sorry.

Where are you located..? Is shipping threw out the states,anyway
I live Olympia,WA. 98512 I liked your web site great job.

spliffy

Neither have a remote kill, you can add these on yourself if you would like, I think they cost around $100 or so. The FX75 we just got back in stock does have it though, those are $875 each, if you are a atvriders member the cost would be $825 shipped to your house.

I am in MN & yes shipping is anywhere in the Cont US, so WA no problem, looking at around 8-9 working days for delivery to WA. Thanks, Jim

Whats the word on the new 90cc Unison. I read about the liquid cooled 70 and the factory sponsored 90 production rider. What kind of machine will this be? Thanks for the info.

spliffy
08-19-2005, 09:24 AM
I'm not sure what machine you are talking about, the new DC90's are no different other than a foot brake for the rear. As far as I know anyways.

Thanks, Jim

hey Jim. I read that you were willing to give a discount on a 75. I am intersted in one of your 50cc quads and was wondering if you were giving the same on your smaller ones for being a member. Thanks Robbie

spliffy
09-27-2005, 06:36 AM
Absolutely, They are $579 right now, any member will get them for $539. You will have to call to place a order over the phone to get the discount.

I just bought one of your 50s and I have to say that Im impressed. I wasnt sure what I was getting for my money. My brother just bought a polaris predator 50 and he paid $2000 for it and the one I just bought is just as nice, fast, and a whole lot cheaper. Thanks for the good products and I will spread the word. Robbie

Your welcome, glad you like it. They are nice little machines, I think alot of people are sceptical about them because of the price, but if you want a cheap atv for your kid to learn on that won't give you a ton of problems & is easy to take care of, this is it. www.kidatvs.com

Are the new Kazuma 50's fully automatic trans. I am wanting an auto trans so my kid does not have to mess with shifting gears and can concentrate on learning how to ride.

spliffy
12-06-2005, 06:10 PM
If its a Kazuma it is a 4 speed, there are look alikes & they are single geared, but you can do that with a Kazuma too, just put it in 2nd gear & use it just like that, it will start & stop all the stuff like a auto in gear, but you can also go faster if you want him/her to when they get up to speed on the riding part by showin them how to shift.

dopeyferree
12-07-2005, 10:05 AM
On the kazuma website it says they are automatics thats why I was asking, My friend has one and its a multispeed, but I am looking towards finding an automatic.

spliffy
12-07-2005, 10:17 AM
The 50's only come in 4 speed, so I am not sure what Kazuma site you looked at. The 90 is a auto, maybe you are looking at the specs on that?

hello i'm looking for a quad for my girl 12yrs 5'3" looking at the 110cc what's the difference between the V-110 a the 110-fx
thanks

spliffy
12-25-2005, 08:53 PM
The V110 is wider & doesn't sit as tall. Also the V110 is only a Redcat, the 110FX is a Redcat & Kazuma, both importeres import that same machine that is made by the same MFG, the V110 is only a Redcat, their own machine...hope that makes some sense.

jocolo
12-25-2005, 08:59 PM
give me a price on a v110 for members

hi jim was wandering if any one makes after market mods for these quads?im looking at your v110 atv looks to the best buy for my needs.

thanks bob

spliffy
12-26-2005, 06:31 AM
Nobody that I know of makes aftermarket stuff for these atvs, these are trail riding recreational machines & not meant for racing...not to say that trail riders don't need aftermarket stuff too, but I think thats why no one has started to make any aftermarket stuff for them.... I have had customers that have made there own pipes & put diff carbs on them & say it has helped alot... its a copied 110 Honda motor, so they used a atc 110 aftermarket silencer from a 1983 Honda 110 ATC.... The V110 price for members will be $950, we have limited stock on them right now, right after Christmas like this, but will get many more in about mid Jan.

Thanks, Jim

doe's any one know the bolt pattern of the redcat v110? is it the same as honda?which is 4/110

spliffy
12-27-2005, 06:24 AM
I am not positive, but I think that is right, take a rim into a Honda shop to be sure though.

No its the Suzuki 3 bolt pattern isnt it? Unless redcat has a new hub. All of the Kazuma\Redcats used to be Suzuki 3 bolt. :-)

Some of the older models had a Suzuki 3 bolt pattern, same as the LT's, but all the newer Redcats have a 4 bolt pattern

Jim do you know if Honda 50 shift lever will fit the V, the stock lever is fine for adult size feet but too big for my daughter's also the gears are too space out adding a couple of teeth to the rear sprocket would fix this and will make the transition from first to second better as when you first shift from first the power falls off then pics up again, i know the way to fix this on pit bikes is going to a 38t in the rear do you know where i can get one? i ordered a front sprocket from rocky mountain but don't know if it'll fit
Jorge

spliffy
01-03-2006, 06:38 AM
I am not sure if a Honda 50 shifter will fit, the only thing I can tell you is to bring it in to a Honda shop & check it out. On the sprocket, I only have stock ones, but I would think you could get one from sprocketspecialist.com or from Rocky mountain like you said maybe too.

when will they new unison desert cat 70 be out? and about how much will they be going for? thanks

spliffy
01-05-2006, 03:49 PM
As far as I know, it is not done being made yet, it is around 45 days from once it is done to get them into the country, so I would suspect a couple 3 months yet. As soon I get one to check it all out & like it I will start to sell them. I will see them at the Indy ATV dealer show & talk to them about it also & if I find anything out then I will post it.

I'm going to buy my daughter a new quad for her 8th birthday and have narrowed it down to one of the 110's.I had decided on the Kazuma baby falcon 110(I'm assuming this is the same as the 110-sx)but now I see the 110-fx and the V-110.The prices are pretty close so which quad would be the best?I like the fact that the v-110 has a rear disc brake instead of drum and dual a arms,but is this the only differences except for a small increase in size?Does the v-110 have the gear indicator on the handlebars?She has a good bit of experience on a quad,she's just outgrown her 50.Sorry for so many ques.,I just want to get the right quad for her so she continues to enjoy riding.

Thanks
Brian

jocolo
01-10-2006, 08:37 AM
the v110 is wider out front hydraulic rear brake cable drums out front n o handlebar indicator, with boots the shiftlever length is not a problem for my daugther but it was too long before i got her boots she loves it.

spliffy
01-10-2006, 08:48 PM
Exactly what Jorge just said. Also I am actually about out of stock on the 110SX (Baby Falcon 110's, but Redcat version) I think I only have Yellow left for colors, should get some containers in sometime in Feb with all colors again.

4manS
01-14-2006, 09:56 AM
Ok guys a couple more ques. for you.The thing that worries me most is size.I was able to let her sit on a Kazuma 150 this morning(Think it was 150 mk2).It seemed rather big for her so I compared it's advertised sizes to that of the 110's(paticularly the v-110)and it states that the 150 seat height is 27" and LxWxH is 60.5x33x37 whereas the v-110 seat height is 28" and LxWxH is 61x36x36.So basically the 110 is bigger than the 150:confused:????I'm feeling lost now:( .I just want her to be safe and feel comfortable with the quad.I may just go back to the v-80,any idea of the seat height of it,doesn't list it in the specs?


Brian

spliffy
01-14-2006, 05:28 PM
The V110 is measured from the ground up & the 150mk2 is measured from the peg to the seat. They are 2 different mfg's so they measure differently. The v80 & v110 are almost the same size, the 80 is a bit smaller though.

booneTRX
01-16-2006, 09:12 AM
Really liked your website and was extremely surprised to find you are located in MN. I was just gonna search for local dealer to go check out the V80 and V110 for my daughter. You seem local enuff for me.

Do you have member prices on those models? And will you be getting any pink camo V70s anytime soon? My girl may pick that just for the color but has her mind set on the black V110.

Thank you.

spliffy
01-16-2006, 09:20 AM
I am out of V80's here, but I do have black V110's in stock & can sell them for $950 to members, that is in the crate price, I can sell them assembled also but the price will be higher. You don't want the V70...trust me, it will be off the site sometime soon, not a good atv in my opinion. The Kid atvs 90, I can also get the solid pink in the same machine in a 50cc & a 70cc, I only have a couple leaf camo 90's in stock right now, but I can get any colors individually in & I also have a couple containers coming in hopefully the end of next week. Member prices on the Kid atvs 70 or 90 is $750 & the 50 would be $650.

booneTRX
01-16-2006, 09:24 AM
What is seat height from peg on the v110? Can we come look at in stock models?

spliffy
01-16-2006, 09:29 AM
I am not positive, I would have to measure it to be exact, but it is right around 20" give or take an inch. Yes you can come by, but like I said they are all in crates right now, but you can see them still & measure seat height etc etc. Give me a ring or a pm & we can set up a time for you to check them out, you want to set up a appt with me because I am out & about alot. 651-497-5146

I'm going to want to buy a 50 in a few months for my daughters B-Day...what is the diff between the MX-50 deluxe and KidsAtvs-50 other than the price? she has only ridin a Kaw 50 a couple of time and does not need to go fast...mostly lookin for something that will last 2-3 years till she can ride my sons LT80...also what would be the shipped price on either of those to 98506?...thx for any info.

spliffy
01-26-2006, 06:27 AM
The prices you see on the webpage are shipped prices, no extra charges for shipping or anything. The MX50's are alot smaller machines & have no front suspension, the Kid atvs 50 has independent front suspension & a rear disk brake, the MX50 has a drum rear brake.

Hi,

We have a Falcon Mk2. Do these have the same hub sizes as the Suzuki LT80 as well?

Also, has anyone heard of anyone making aftermarket shocks for these? Quad is ok, shocks suck.

spliffy
01-27-2006, 10:05 AM
I don't think the hub is a direct replacement from suzuki, but if its a 3 lug hub, suzuki lt rims should fit on it. If you need a hub, I have them in stock. As far as shocks go, I don't know of any aftermarkets, but I would think give any shock builder or MFG the measurement eye to eye & they could point you in the right direction.

chapmanmd
01-27-2006, 10:46 AM
I should have been WAY more specific. My bad.

Im wondering if the rims from an LT80 will fit the 150 MkII as I am looking for 10" front rims for the quad.

spliffy
01-27-2006, 10:49 AM
I know they do on the 110mk2 & the rims swap between the 110 & 150, so I would say yes, if you have a 3 lug hub they should fit.

jocolo
01-28-2006, 07:27 PM

Thanks

spliffy
02-01-2006, 03:41 PM
I do have some Yellows right now trying out to see how the color sells first, very BRIGHT yellow I might add heh, I may or may not have any when you order, but call & ask me & I can let you know. About 7-8 business days for delivery from when you place the order & yes $950 shipped seeings you are a member of the best ATV forums around..... think Harlen will give me ad discount...if I kiss his butt like this?? HAHA :p

Is there any way you could get me a few pics of the yellow quad.I'd like to check out the color to make sure she would like it.All her riding gear is yellow as is her current quad.Guess she wants to be like her old man:D .If you can either post them or send them to me through my profile.

Thanks again

I would like to take a minute to Thank Jim at Kidatvs for the excellent experience I have had in ordering and recieving the quad for my daughters birthday.It arrived sooner than promised and I was very happy to have more than enough time to get it ready for her.I ordered the vx-110 and so far it is great.I will admit that I was a little worried about the quality of these quads but I think with proper maintenance it will last for quite sometime.Everyone that has seen it,most of whom are avvid ATVer's,say that it was well worth the money,NOT to mention IMO it's one of the best looking chinese quads available.I have already talked to 2 other's who are thinking about placing orders with Jim for similar quads.

Thanks again,

I was looking to buy one of your kidsatv 50cc but now i noticed you don't carry them anymore...Are u going to get some back in soon? If not do u carry pink in the 70cc ? Also what is the brand of the Kidsatv quad... How do the MX-50 ride with only having one rear shock ?...I'm wanting to get a quad for my daughters 5th B-Day April 21...How many days do u think it would take to order and receive to Olympia, WA 98506 ? Also do u still give Members discounts? Hope to do business soon....Thx

03-06-2006, 08:11 PM
Thanks Brian & Jorge, I appreciate the thumbs up, We try to run this business & treat customers the way we like to be treated when we buy stuff..after all we are all customers sometime or another ;)

On the Kid atvs 50, we replaced the Kidatvs 50cc with a 70cc motor, same atv, same price, but with a bigger motor, we found that the 50cc didn't have enough lowend in that machine so we switched it to a 70cc & it helped it out alot, so it is the same machine, just a bigger motor. I can't discount that machine because we changed the engine size which costs us more, but we are still selling it for the same price. The Machine is manufactured by Wangli & is imported by us & BMX imports. It does come in pink also, I just haven't added the color to the drop down list. You are looking at about 7 business days to WA. The MX50 rear shock, doesn't work very good, it is actually more of a shock for the engine than the rider, that is a very basic beginner machine & is very small for this reason.

Hey,
I see you sell Redcat/Kazuma atv's. I bought a Redcat 110 in Nov. 2005 and it seemed to be a really good machine for the price. I did get it locally but, was directed to another dealer for any repair/warranty problems. Well, not even a month into owning my son was riding at night and it just died. Would not restart. Got it home and found the battery shorted. Called the dealer and he said he knew the 110's were experiencing battery/wiring harness issues and that the cdi also was suspect. The batteries he said were just not good lead based units. He told me to relace the battery and see if that would fix the problem. The atv started and ran ok for about 15 min. then just died. I could hear it sputtering but, it just wouldn't stay running. Of course when I tried to get ahold of him again he won't answer or return my messages. As a matter of fact his message now says he only sells 50's but, no other sizes anymore. I do alot of work on atv's/motorcycles andam pretty sure it's the cdi. You seem pretty knowledgeable about these products and was wondering what your experience with this problem has been, if any. I guess I need the price of a new cdi, or if I could use a different honda cdi, since this is what the motor is based on. I have bought my son an Eton 90 and am very happy with it. I would like to sell the 110 but, won't until I rectify this problem. These atv's seem like a decent piece but, with this problem and the fact that he wants to race I went with the Eton. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

spliffy
03-18-2006, 11:34 AM
It could be the cdi, but I haven't had any problems with them in the past, so I don't know where this "dealer" heard this. What model of 110 is it, or can you post a picture, I have a CDI that will work I'm sure, but there is 2 different ones & want to be sure I sell you the right part. Email me at sales@kidatvs.com & we can get you set up.

Thanks, Jim

Hi,

New to this forum... Need some advise... Have two kids, 9yr @ 75# and 12 @ 110. Just want to get one between the two ($$$$ considerations). I have looked at your atvs but it appears to me that the atv would be OK for the 9 yr old but may be too small for the 12 yr old. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Dan

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll probably be buying after Easter. What colors are you carrying? Are you still offering the member discount? Includes shipping? Will I have any problems with registration with DOT - need it to ride on State Land. Sorry for asking so many questions - but I want to get it right. Thx.

Jim,
You recommended the V110 for me and after going back to your website I saw the Jetmoto quads - they sure look nice. Other than the obvious differences (wider, fr/rear disc, more cc, more $$), what are your comments on these quads. I might spring the extra $$ if it makes sense. I'd tried doing research on these quads but I can't find any. Reliability, parts, etc. any infor would help. Thanks for your help!

The Jetmotos are built nicer, & they also have upgrade parts coming right from Jetmoto, exhaust, carb, bumpers, nerfs, shocks etc etc, so that is another plus with going to the Jetmotos. The downside is they cost more, but heck anything that is better cost more right? heh ;) Reliability is the same as the Redcats & Kazumas, copied 4 stroke Honda motors, they run great.

JIm,when will you have a list of the aftermarket parts for the Jetmoto's on your site?Will the parts carry over to the redcat's?I'm thinking mainly about the upgraded shocks.

spliffy
05-05-2006, 11:28 AM
Still don't have them....ever heard that term? slow boat from China..they ain't kidding heh. Hoping over the next month we will get them & then we will list what machines they will fit also right on the site, so everyone will know what fits what :)

OK... I broke down and ordered the Jetmoto 150cc. It was a tough decision between the V110 and the Jetmoto. For the extra $$ I got more cc, auto, and more features. The transaction with Jim at www.kidatvs.com was quick and seamless (even though the wallet is a bit lighter ;) ). Hope to get the quad here before the next weekend - can't wait now that it is ordered!

Thanks Jim for helping out here....

Jim,

The quad arrived just as you said (5 days to go coast to coast). I've been only able to spend about 1 hour for the past two night to put the thing together. As you said, assembling it is quite easy (even for me:eek2: ). I have a couple of questions and possible one missing part. I have posted some pics here and will call you about these today.

Pic1 - There are two hoses not connected
1) the tube breather from the cylinder header with a clamp on the end that is not connected - should it be?
2) originating from the back (did not trace it) and also not connected - should it be?

Pic2 - are these the leads to the neutral light?

Pic3 and Pic4 - there are 2 sets of two wires on the wiring harness yet the headlights have 2 sets of three wires. I am guessing that one is common, one for low, and the other is high and I just need to connect either the high or the low leave the other taped and unconnected.

Sorry for the questions - just want to get it right. Not a mechanic:confused: :confused: :confused: !

The Redcats & Kazumas are great entry level machines for those of you who don't want to spend 2k or more on a machine for kid or yourself for that matter. The Unisons are very well put together machines & I would have no problem comparing them to the major brands, but yet at a cheaper price. I just wanted to introduce myself as a new atvriders advertiser (I'm not a new member, been a member since 2002) & to let everyone know that we are not only here to sell atvs, but to help you service them, get parts, etc etc. Feel free to email, fax or call us for anything or feel free to post on here your likes & dislikes of these machines & lets make this a open discussion so everyone is comfortable with buying them or not. We will be looking for anyway that we can help you. Thanks, Jim & Tara

I may be calling you this week for parts! :)

Jim,
All done! I appreciate you answering all the questions I had during my time putting the quad together. It really only took a few hours over the course of a week (too busy during the day on real work:ermm: ). The starter worked just like you said it would if I were to apply the brake (DO'H):D .

What am I expecting from you to DOT register this quad - when do you think it would arrive? Once again thanks!

Oh, then you will just get it in the mail over the next couple days, usually about 7-10 days & you get them in the mail, I get so many vins daily I never know what ones I have or not heh, I just send them in & the mfg mails them out to you, so its on its way.

It will fit if you have a hammer & a welder heh, Redcat doesn't show them in stock, we tried it doesn't fit though, here is the link to the Redcat order page if you want to try one:

Humm,looks like it bolts up in the same place as the vx-110.Well I may have to rethink it.I may give it a try anyway even if I have to do some "adjustments".When do you think you'll be able to get one?

spliffy
05-23-2006, 02:42 PM
I don't usually stock bumpers, I have a hard enough time trying to keep on parts I do carry hehe. Keep an eye on that link above, when it turns blue or green let me know & I can order one for you, or you can order it yourself right from there also.

Jim,

I've got a son (6yo - 48") and a daughter (9yo - 58"). Both have been buggin me for a quad since I got a 400ex last year. So I started looking around and have only become more confused about what to buy...

My boy rode a friends 90 (something or other...don't know the make) and did fine with it, so I think a 90 should be ok for both of them.

I thought I knew what I wanted, but after looking at your site I only find myself more confused :eek2:

--2.5 hours later...--

I just spent a whole bunch of time putting together a side by side comparison grid of your 90-110 quads with a trx90 thrown in too. I can pass it along to you if you'd like...it might be useful for others...just drop me a pm with your email.

I think that I'm interested in the V110. Do you think that a 48" rider will be ok on this machine with it speed governed? Also, what's the atvriders price on this machine?

Thanks!

Kevin

spliffy
08-07-2006, 01:42 PM
Hi Kevin, 48" is the minimum we tell people for the V110, so I think you should be fine using the governor. We are VERY low on V110's right now & I can offer you one shipped at $975, but we can't go any lower at this time, shipping cost goes up it seems like dailiy right now (look at the dumb gas prices heh), so we may be raising the prices on them to $1025 shortly, but we are waiting to hear from the truck company about that still. I will stick to that price for you or any other members as well though. Feel free to give me a call or drop me a line & I can talk with you about it as well if you have some other concerns. You would have to call to place the order to get the discount also. 866-543-7823

Thanks. I talked it over with the wife and I think we're going to hold off until next spring to get the kids a quad. I'll be back in touch about a 110 then. Thanks.

I have a question on atv size.

I noticed that most of you are looking at the 110cc size. Do you own enough land for your kids to ride on or are your states more leniant on trail riding?

It is my understanding that here in Wisconsin, ages 8-11 can ride up to a 90cc on the trails provided they are with their parent.

We are looking at one for our 8 year old and then we will be getting 2 larger one for ourselves and have our 6 year olds riding with us.

Thanks,

John

I live in New York...what's a state owned trail????

Seriously though, I have friends/relatives with land that I (and someday my kids) will ride on. I don't know of any age specific restrictions on quads in this state.

Jim,
I'm thinking about buying my wife a quad. My son has a 90 Kazuma Mini Falcon, and I will soon be picking up my KFX400. She wants one that she can follow us around on, never any jumps or wheelies, it'll never be raced, heck, she'll probably never even open it up all the way.

She's 5'5" 105 lbs, so I'm thinking that I need a 150 cc minimum. Would you agree? Looking at your website, it appears that you have the following:

JetMoto 150-
Redcat MPX 150-
Kazuma 150 MKII-

An earlier post indicated that the JetMoto was probably a little higher quality than the Redcat/Kazuma line. What are your thoughts? I noticed that all the above mentioned quads have automatic transmissions. Are they all CVT? If not, how do they work?

Do you have any other suggestions for her? I'm always open to other points of view. Do you think the JetMoto 125 would be too small for her?

The only criteria that she had was that she wanted one in pink or yellow, although that would not be a deal breaker either way. Do any of the ones in my list come in those colors.

If anyone has photos of any of the listed quads with a person in the photo for reference, please post them, even if you blur the face out. I'd like to get an idea of how big they are.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Daniel

Yes all the 150cc atvs we sell are CVT trannys. There are some out there that say automatic CVT & are in fact single speed trannys, ours are CVT. I would recommend the Jetmoto 150, simply because their warranty is better (easier to get parts under warranty) & because it has front wheel disc brakes. The 125 s a bit smaller & you have to shift it. There is a link on our home page to see the various sizes of atvs we sell, about half wat down in the middle, CLICK HERE TO COMPARE THE SIZES OF OUR ATVS is what it says. I am 190lbs (all muscle of course.....hahahaha) & almost 6 foot tall, the Jetmoto 150 fits me well & is a great atv in my opinion for a 150cc atv. Call me to discuss your options, I am in m-f 9am-5pm central time 866-KID-QUAD - 866-543-7823
