My son started to Autocross with me in a alcohol powered briggs kart. After a year I sold it and bought him a YZ100 Yamaha race kart from an adult. As delivered it would go from 0-60 in les than 3 seconds and top out at 110 MPH.
He was 11 years old at the time. I de-tuned it to do 60 MPH and 0-60 in less time actually due to the lower gearing. He was scared to death of it. The clutch didn't engage until high RPM and it un-nerved him. He was afraid of it.
I am in the process of fixing it up for my use in the hopes he might have a change of heart.
Lube- I hope your kid is up to this.
