2016 Cobra CX50SR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2016 Cobra CX50SR Dirt Bike.
The 2016 Cobra CX50SR continues the Standard Race 50cc competition platform with updated suspension components and revised bodywork in its ninth year. The air-cooled 50cc two-stroke in the competition chassis serves young racers at the entry level of the 50cc class with nine years of proven reliability. Updated bodywork improves rider ergonomics for the current generation of young competitors. Subframe bolt torque at 10 Nm anchors the updated panel mounting system — verify these during break-in as new bodywork settles against chassis mounting points. The SR’s ninth year of development produces the most refined Standard Race specification Cobra has assembled.
