are there any immediate problems i am not seeing?

do Pit Bikes and kx 85s use the same chains?

will it fit, i mean will there be enough space?

any help would be extremly gratful, thanks in advance

I mean sure if you did abit of tinkering and messing around,it would possibly fit.

Never know till you try it.You can line up the pit engine once in the frame to be inline with the kx spocket,so the chain will run smooth.but make sure its perfectly a lined or the chain will come off,break and what not.

as long as you know what your doing,should be fine.

I really like it and was wondering how to convince my parents into buying it for me?

Id take them to a local event and let them see what it is all about. Do some research and try to show them how safe the sport actually is. Show them that you are responsible enough ride one, and pull some extra weight around the house (do extra chores).. get some "A"s on that report card too!
