2017 Cobra CX50JR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2017 Cobra CX50JR Dirt Bike.
The 2017 Cobra CX50JR delivers the Junior motocross platform with updated bodywork and improved component specifications. The air-cooled 50cc two-stroke in the youth-specific chassis continues serving the youngest motocross class. Updated bodywork on the 2017 JR improves rider fit for the current generation of young competitors who may be slightly taller and heavier than the demographic the original JR was designed for as the youngest class has evolved. Subframe bolt torque at 10 Nm anchors the updated bodywork mounting system to the chassis — verify these after the first few rides as new bodywork settles against its mounting hardware.
