Honestly, I doubt that you will find much for that bike. That is one big disadvantage to buying a Chinese bike. I know this isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but if you really want to go faster you should sell it and get an actual race bike. A 125 MX bike would run circles around it plus handle much better, have better suspension, lighter weight and easy to find replacement and performance parts for. Sprockets aren’t really going to help unless you are going for the Zongshen world speed record at the Salt Flats. When you gear higher you will get some top speed but loose acceleration and vice versa.

How can you get sponsored for riding a pit bike?

I have a pit bike i was wondering how i can get sponsored so that i can get free parts for my bike that i need.

You need to do this the old fashioned way. No one is going to come up to you out of the blue and hand you a bunch of cash so you can go racing. This is especially true when you are just starting out and unproven.

You need to get out and actually visit some local businesses. You must speak to the owners face to face. You are essentially selling yourself. You must convince these local business owners that by putting their business name on your tiny bike and riding suit is going to somehow generate enough additional customers to their business to make it worth their while. This is a tough sell in a bad economy.

You will also need to know which sponsors are already taken. During your next few events make some notes of which businesses are already sponsoring bikes. As a courtesy to the other riders don’t go and try and steal sponsors. You will make enemies at the track very quickly.

As you are unproven don’t expect to get the best sponsors. Take what you can get. In general, if you are a middle of the pack or back of the pack rider don’t expect the best sponsors. Winning will get you the better sponsors as your name and sponsor will be mentioned more during events.

However this is sort of a what came first, the chicken or the egg thing. Without good sponsors you will find it difficult to run up front with the well funded riders. However you will have a more difficult time getting decent funding while riding in the middle or back of the pack.

So start making some face to face visits to your local businesses and good luck
