2017 Cobra CX50P3 Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2017 Cobra CX50P3 Dirt Bike.
The 2017 Cobra CX50P3 continues the three-speed automatic 50cc platform with updated component specifications and improved suspension settings. The air-cooled 50cc two-stroke with automatic three-speed transmission serves a new generation of beginner youth riders who benefit from reduced clutch complexity. Updated suspension on the 2017 P3 improves compliance for the range of young rider weights the automatic transmission model attracts — P3 riders tend to be newer to motorcycles and may be lighter than experienced 50cc class competitors. Fork clamp torque at 8 Nm and shock mount hardware at 12 Nm preserve the updated suspension’s performance through a full season.
