Do You Need To Grease Clutch Drive Bevel Gear On Motorized Bike Engine?

[@benm2046]

You've done more than help. I mean if I ever need anything dealing with bike engines . You are the man. your sense of humor is through the roof lol

I inspected the shaft(that's what she said)

No Lube required she's good to go

It's not about wear it's about friction. As the teeth slip off eachother when they separate its addition fiction so it's a parasitic loss of power. I used to race bikes and if you clean your chain, bearings, and gears and lube them up on a race bike you will feel way less resistance when peddling. If you lube it with grease or chian wax it will have less friction and you get more power to the ground. I used to trash pick bikes and fix em up and give them to my friends. Most just need the bearings repacked and a new chain and tube. Friction always = power loss. Pro tip from a race winner

I'm lucky that I'm not trying to go 10000000000000000000mph. I'm simply enjoying the ride.

@@HughesMotorized it will help with mpgs too man. I'm just shareing the benifits behind it not saying you are wrong. Your videos have helped me a lot and I wanted to contribute when I could! Have a good one!

@@TheOminousVoidWispers I gotcha. Appreciate you watching and engaging. Friction does indeed slow things down. Ride on!

[@jeffwalters6044]

Last set of gears I never greased from day one tore the shit out of em lol so go ahead and not grease em

[@goodbyewestside]

what if i use 2 stroke oil

[@johngoddu7161]

Good to hear from u ! No grease........ Take care big guy !

[@HughesMotorized]

Right on

@@HughesMotorized l assemble auto lifts now . Sometimes after long use they squeek .We use DRY lube . Don't want dirt sticking to grease. Possible DRY lube could help crankshaft gear connected to clutch gear ?

Can’t make dollars unless it makes sense. Good info! Tear ass!

[@XiaolinDraconis]

would it reduce that tin can grinding noise I hear coming from that side of the bike? I can hear it in most people's motorized bike videos too.

[@metalfire-vw4sn]

I never grease mine on any of my engines. I made the mistake of greasing that a long time ago on a China doll and it seeped to the friction plate and pads not so good for the clutch lol. So ignore that while going grease crazy on a dry friction clutch if the plates and clutch are greased use brake cleaner degreaser

[@John-vw4qz]

Make more vids.. I enjoy the clean content. I need that video on the jackshaft installation. You mistakenly posted the one with your jackshaft opinion. Ive been trying to rip ass thru the neighborhood but can't get this unstamped yd100 to get over 30.

Use tacky grease on the gears but don’t overdo it or excess grease might get on the clutch pads. Leaving the gears to run dry is like driving a truck with a manual transmission dry.

[@adamsmahem9454]

Whats the benefit of no clutch cover? Better cooling?

[@HughesMotorized]

Just the cool-looking factor

Hey if you have the white wire to touching the engine can it cause it not to run? Please let me know some helpful tips it only runs when I rivet when I don’t rivet it dies

[@HughesMotorized]

If the white wire gets grounded out, it will kill the engine. Try the idle adusting screw on the carb. Try turning it in a half a turn

[@skids4days42]

@@HughesMotorized ok thank you I will try

[@cldfishing123]

My drive gear rocks back and forth like theres some slop. Is that normal? If i grab the big gear it rocks back and forth a bit

[@MrJoeju420]

Yeah I've got two engines I'll need to grind that down on. Sucks cause I've never pulled the clutch or crank gears out yet

Hello on these motorised engines can you run a standard mini MOTO cdi?

🤔 geez by the looks of it ,it loks like it could use something judging by the color?? Right?

Lube does help but clean it and relube or it’ll just keep sucking trash into it and wear faster

[@goodbyewestside]

Can i use 2 stroke oil instead of grease

[@LouisHebert-uj7mv]

Also what's the best mixture for breakin I been told 40:1 I have heard 16:1 and 30:1

[@HughesMotorized]

40: 1 all the time. From day 1 to forever

[@nathanwest4670]

Good to know because I didn't put any grease on my motor in that area neither. I honestly think it's better to just let it wear out and replace when necessary that it would probably take a long time for that to happen grease or not. Like you said it's probably the cheap casting materials they use and it tends to wear down. In another one of your videos as I stated in one of my comments about how I get a little bit of oil around the base of that crankcase just a little teeny bit is obviously not enough to let the clutch slip because if it was I'm sure I would notice it but with that be a poor crank seal? Or is it because of motor still breaking in and I was running that stupid 16:1 ratio before I did some research and found out that it's best to just run the20 to 1 ratio right from the get go otherwise you're going to get excessive oil all over the place it really doesn't play much of a role in it breaking in in my opinion. However I am running 24 to 1 right now would it be safe to back that off to 40 to one? And maybe that might stop the excess oil building up around the motor I get a little bit that comes around the exhaust not so much now that I've torque the bolts down and Loctite them but at the very base of the crankcase there's always a small drop of oil there and definitely got a lot of oil coming out of the exhaust too maybe not so much now that I've got the motor running again and I'm not flooding it trying to start it. So do you have any recommendations there? Is there something I should be worried about for down the road? Or is it something that this kind of normal for these motors and sometimes they do that and some of the motors don't also if this crank seal is bad that's obviously going to give me a vacuum leak right? Thank you for your time if you go ahead and give me any advice or recommendations you have. And once again thank you for the videos, they're very helpful 🙏

I'm new to this 2 stroke stuff I'm getting air fuel ect but my plug is wet and got a little brown in the middle it's only started once and it died right away and I haven't yet gotten it to start again any suggestions please and thank you

[@mad_scientist5597]

Now that's really surprising to see. I see grannies on these crappy old unmaintained bicycles with dry rusty chains and I always wondered how do they not fear the bike will fall apart underneath them, cause that's how I felt when riding such a bike especially uphill, and that one wasn't so bad. And then here I see a motorized bike in such condition and it works just fine... looks like these components deserve more credit than I give them huh. Come to think of it, after I put more grease on these gears, my own motorized bike stopped squeaking under load, and I kinda miss that sound cause it reminds me of racing cars with straight cut gears in the gearbox. I kinda hope I'll hear it return as the grease dries out.
