I just bought this about a month ago. I got it for under 100$, I love it so far thought I would share it too.

Does anyone know how to remove this silicone residue?

I suppose you're talking about the silicone residue on the tire? Nope I don't know how to remove it. But that was an amazing find man! Congrats!

You should be able to remove it with a stiff bristle brush and some muscle.

It will eventually slough off, but if you can't wait.....get a scrubbin.

Nice find!

The go cart in the background is more tempting then the bike sorry, but to get off the residue off your tire then get on your bike and ride it, it should come off after the first hour, most people would rather ride then scrub i think.

Just ride it, it will come off.

Yeah I have been riding it, but it doesnt seem to want to come off. I scrubbed it and it came off for the most part but it sucks. I do love the bike though.

The go-kart has a Kawasaki Ninja 500R engine, and will soon be feul injected and turboed. It is insanely fast. As it stands now the land record is 90mph, but it goes faster we just ran out of road.
