Challenging the World's SMALLEST, FASTEST street legal motorcycle

After months of building we finally finished the World's smallest and fastest street legal Yamaha YSR 80 Motorcycle! This little motorcycle was imported from Japan and is over 30 years old! It only took me a day before I blew up the engine going down the highway. We got it running again and now we are going to battle it against some other bikes!

tip for long distance riding for two stroke engine, do not red line it for long time and set the carburator for the spec, your piston have a hole in it, it's mean it doesn't get enough fuel and you need to put larger main jet in the carb and do a test run then read the sparkplug you want your sparkplug have brown to black colour and wet

[@florianlindinger6430]

The problem was jetting and exhaust. First you schould alwys chek the sparkplug on these 2 Strokes and if the elcetrode is white it is running lean and will blow up or if its brown that means its perfect und if its black its to rich and wont have power. The other thing is that you put the stock exhaust on a yz 80 motor. A 2 Stroke exhaust is mached to the porting of the cylinder and therfore will only run optimal with the stock exhaust of the motor it came from.

[@piquat1]

I was wondering why it never "gets on the pipe".... there's no expansion chamber to engage. LOL That explains everything.

Becaus the stock engine was 50cc and now it has 80 the pipe has to little volume.
