240cc Drag Mini bike build! Part 2

[@VasilyBuilds]

The goal is not to look fast, but also to actually be fast. I believe this thing will be able to compete with some fast cars in the 1/8 mile

[@pxtxr466]

Could you please let me know the name of the Beat at 8:00, Thank you.

[@wimvandesteeg1353]

better fix the seat then, this way you will slide backwards, besides dangerous, it simply sucks if you have to keep doing your best to stay on the seat, with a torque machine like this it should at least be flat, or better a bit leaning forward, nice to see you got recognised by HTP, thumbs up

[@DktheWelder]

Vasily Builds if you put a kill switch on the gear lever you can bang through the gears fast without the clutch. Same as what a race bike uses

You're killing it man!!! Best advise that I was given when I was younger and first learning to weld was to just play play play play and play some more with the settings on the welder and keep notes of what the settings feel like and what settings you like for whatever material you're working on. I used to keep the short notes of the settings written down on a small piece of paper taped inside my helmet and kept a more detailed notebook in my toolbox. I still have that notebook (along with a whole bunch more) in my toolbox. Man......... I'm just now realising how many damn notebooks I have that are completely full. And I actually refer back to them more often than you would think. At least twice a week I'm digging through those notes for something or other.

You're the type of guy I aspire to be: you have a vison? You do what needs to be done to make it a reality. Seeing you working on your projects and getting them done really inspires me to get out and stop slacking on my builds

Sorry to hear that things aren’t too great in your area at the moment but I wish you and everyone around you all the very best for the future. Things are looking great on the mini bike and you’re not doing bad with the new machines. I look forward to seeing more as soon as you’re ready to share with us. Take care and stay safe 🙏🏻

Bike looks good. The. Storms hit all around us ( within 5 to 20 miles) of our home in upstate SC . Prayers were answered and we were safe.

[@PablitoLamberti]

I have to say, from all the power machine building channels in KZbin, your’s and GHPC are the ones I love the most. Man, your designs are awesome!!! Your content is getting better after every video. Congratulations to you. Your limits are far...

Thank you sir

No i havent got it done yet. I want to do a baseline run first

[@rustic2505]

@@VasilyBuilds Gotcha. Regardless, do a leakdown test and plug chop before hooning on it. I've had multiple blasters in the shop from people who worked on them themselves and it's usually an air leak/poor jetting that cause the top end to go.

Thats dope nasty!! We were hit by a tornado in sand springs oklahoma in 2015 and rebuilt and then our home was flooded in the big flood from keystone lake and our house backed up to the arkansas river so it was hit hard and we had 5' of water in it and my wife and i and our 2 boys bought it from my parents 12 years ago so it was my childhood home but after a tornado and a flood we decided to sell it as is and move on unfortunately. So sorry to hear about all who has lost their homes or worse. Thank god you and your family were safe. Crazy Crazy times brother.

Not to be critical, dragbikes have found that engine placement is important in getting the bikes hook up all the way down track. What they have found is placing the engines as far forward as possible makes a big difference in how they e.t. Looks great by the way. Excellent job!

Very nice use of your skills and materials! That Yamaha Blaster engine looks eerily similar to the silver/aluminum Sacks engine that was in my 1973 Penton 125 ISDT! That was the quickest air cooled 125 ever! Matter of fact I used to out drag some 250’s on dirt!

Firstly. I like your low tec notching. No need to get hitec if you dont have the inclination. The use of the pipe bender the way you did was great. Good job man.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thank you!

[@jasonlazore497]

Just a suggestion where your top tubes and bottom tubes meet on the down tube of the triple tree I would put a gusset there to help with keeping the front from flexing and possibly causing the frame to separate

[@DktheWelder]

Jason Lazore that could help I’m have a bit of flexing problems on my build

[@jasonlazore497]

@@DktheWelder gussets are always a good help. Just like building a roof you would want the support to keep things from flexing under any load and fall apart. Try to find all of the points that maybe a point of flex and put a gusset there

[@benc8386]

Great build. Those TIG welds weren't bad. I think you just need to clean things up better. To get a nice TIG weld you want really clean metal. Flap disk then acetone. You could see a few sparks in the video which is a sign it's not quite clean enough. Looks like you nailed the heat and the speed and getting enough rod in there which are the main things.

Just one tip when you get a welding sponsor like HTP and your testing it in a video. DON'T put Vulcan or any other competitors logo dead center while using it. Just my two cents Other than that 👍👍from this guy

[@ericthered9655]

It's technically a small motorcycle with that motor. Very cool toy though. Still want to know your tubing type.

[@derriesymes5455]

Is it an ac dc welder an if it it what were you using. Also at the front where you put the two bars in why don’t you fill the gaps with sheet metal and us as a fuel tank if would be sick and airodinamic

Yeah there quiet there inverter welders plug into a 120v and you get 400amps out of it but Esaab and Miller and Lincoln are the top machines for me yessireee

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

Dope dope dope skills

[@LNRRidez]

Got a question for you. What would happen if someone welded a sprocket onto the crankshaft of a 212 instead of using a clutch for one of these? I have an older motor, one of the predators before they became a predator, greyhound or something like that, and was thinking about trying it to see what happens on the new mini bike I got. Gonna make a video on it here come Friday!

[@VasilyBuilds]

As soon as you go to start it, it's gonna fly off, and if you try to stop it it's going to stall. You need some sort of clutch. What you could do is weld a 1" collar on the sprocket and then the sprocket is removable

[@LNRRidez]

@@VasilyBuilds Thanks for the response, I'm just trying to think of things that have not been done yet and will experiment with them.
