Why Thumpstar

Why Thumpstar? - Introduction

Genuine Thumpstar® is the original mini motorcycle designed for adults, imported in Australia.

Thumpstar was founded 2004 in Australia by a racer named Timothy Hunter. While attending a Trade Fair in late 2003, he stumbled across a pit bike, felt the necessity to import it and make modifications and improvements. In April 2004 he signed a contract with a Taiwanese Company to help build these bikes. Thumpstar was born.

Factory TS1 Parts

Thumpstar Factory TS1 parts are one of the newer changes to our bikes. We got the best guy’s in the industry to put there input into our factory part designs. We have armed our models with these parts and with improved performance and a great design these parts are a giant leap ahead of the competition.

Pipe Bomb – The new Pipe Bomb exhausts add more punch with a great sound. These Exhaust systems have been made with lighter weight materials as well as a redesigned muffle system, increasing exhaust gas flow yet still keeping the sound within required decibel limits. In addition these exhaust systems have been designed shorter, making them less susceptible to crash damage.

VS1 – VS1 proved their products were unrivalled when it comes to soaking up bumps without slowing you down. Whether your sending your bike off jumps or tearing up trails VS1 suspension will keep those unexpected bumps from kicking you off your ride. Specifically designed for Off-Road Bikes.

Production

Thumpstar goes the extra mile when it comes to production. We can’t share too much of our trade secrets but all our manufacturing in 2016 has been stricter than ever, with a long list of procedures put in place to ensure quality. We have Australian and New Zealand mechanics overseeing assembly. Quality is a priority at Thumpstar as well as customer satisfaction.

The Smaller Details

Thumpstar not only focuses on what’s outside and what can be seen, we also focus on the smaller details which make Thumpstar pull ahead of the competition. Our bolts are torqued up to specifications that our experts have specified using torque formulas.

We apply thread locker to the bolts that need it so you can guarantee these bolts cannot rattle loose. Over years of experience we have identified these bolts that are common for coming loose not only on Thumpstar’s but all makes and models, our guys have experience riding every bike out there and are well aware of which bolts are common for coming loose. We have fixed this issue with either thread locker or mechanical nuts.

Lubricant – We fill our engines with high quality 10W40 semi synthetic motor oil to keep our engines moving parts lubricated and corrosion free.
