Did you Daughter struggle at all with the manual shift? If I recall, the pw50 my boys had was only one gear.These PW80s are pretty under powered for a 80cc which in my case is good as it's the littles ones first bike. I'm not sure what the top speed is but it's fast enough for a newer young rider to have some thrills for sure.
She is 9 and didn't struggle with the manual shift at all but for the most part I just had her leave it in 2nd gear since it wasn't as snappy taking off and wasn't too fast on the top end. She's big for her age(4ft 10in) so she is almost too big for this bikes frame already but will be fine for learning.Did you Daughter struggle at all with the manual shift?

How old is your Daughter? I ask as I am in the fence between a pw50 and a pw80 or equivalent for my oldest grandson turning six on October.
Thanks.I read the entire thread. You do very nice work and are very intelligent regarding bike mechanics. It's looking great! It's good you are teaching your kids to ride early in life. My sisters never liked bikes however all my brothers were or are bikers and so is my son.
I impulse bought a decal kit and I'm having second thoughts about it. I'm wishing I would have gotten a more "OEM" look.Looking great. I have a lot of Hozan tools. Expensive, but a joy to use. I feel like you should get Yamaha stickers for the tank.
Good catch, in person it seems like the bend is contoured to fit the bike batter but I just checked a picture and its suppose to be strait. I will rectify this next time I'm working on it.I looks like the rear brake linkage rod is bent. I believe it should be straight, so that it is a rigid link when the pedal is depressed. It looks like there is plenty of adjustment room for when it is straightened.
