Free ABANDONED Honda 919 Motorcycle | Let's Bring it Back to Life for CHEAP!

One of our subscribers gifted us a 2003 Honda 919, a 919cc, liquid cooled, fuel injected, 110 horsepower sport bike! We think it'll make the PERFECT replacement for the tired DOHC carbureted CB750 engine on our cross kart. Pher parked this bike a few years ago after it stopped running right, and he was kind enough to donate it to us for a future project. In today's episode, we see if we can get the free motorcycle running and riding right!

"It'll be fine! We'll be making milkshakes! I like milkshakes!" You guys are hilarious. Hopefully, the cross-kart can handle the added horsepower and torque! Look forward to the first send with this beast of an engines!

All that unnecessary revving during the test ride reminded me of a Harley rider (especially during the u turn) 😆😆😆

It hurts me deeply to think of you guys tearing apart that 919 even though I can tell it had been used and abused. I loved my 919 and I miss it so much. 😊

it's an awesome bike no doubt! The engine will get put to good use, but it will be a little sad

[@Thor555555]

@@CarsandCameras no regrets, the crosscart just waited for an engine like this.

[@CaptainScarlet1961]

The biker in me wouldn't let me butcher it for a go-kart, a little bit of tlc & a few parts & it'll be good as new! Can't understand why you even bothered to measure if it would fit, a 30 year newer model motor isn't going to be any bigger than the one currently in it & for the record you should resurrect the Ducarti asap.

[@Thor555555]

@@CaptainScarlet1961 the biker in me says, it´s a 17 years old bike that stod for years, can´t say how it is in the us, here in germany you will get such a bike in this condition round about 1500€ every time so it´s absolutely nothing special. the mechanic in me says tear it down and build an awsome mantoy.

[@BlakeEM]

That's an older power commander 3 usb. I have the same one on my 2001 dyno tuned VFR800. It's a piggyback ECU that allows you to adjust the stock map based on RPM and TPS. It would make it very easy for you to dyno tune the crosskart. That black wire you saw to the battery is to ground the power commander. You can hook up a battery to the fuel pump plug under the tank to save yourself some time draining the fuel. You really scored an awesome bike. I love motorcycles like this. They are very cheap to buy with reliable EFI and none of the electronic assists that are on newer bikes. The crosskart is going to rip and be extremely reliable.

[@SlyNine]

Power commender and someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Could be why it never ran right lol

[@Evolution_Kills]

I own a 06' 919, and I love it to death. Used to own a 93' CB750 Nighthawk too. Also, while the 919 is a second generation of the CB900F series, its real lineage is the CBR919RR Fireblade. The engine is just a re-tuned 99' SC33 powerplant updated with fuel injection. It is a great street fighter. Bike has everything you need, nothing you don't. No riding assists, no ABS, no anti-wheelie, no traction control. Just an engine, wheels, tank, and some lights. Old school analog instrument cluster. It was a modern take (mid 2000's) on the UJM's that dominated the 70's.

[@kennypool]

101 hp stock , with power commander may be 110. You definitely need to upgrade that buggy.

[@AgentWest]

Especially since Ike can barely fit into it. Shins meeting dashboard is a rather unpleasant feeling.

[@crankybear1236]

I think it is 110 HP at 9500 rpm

[@SlyNine]

Or maybe 60 with the power commander.

That's the perfect engine for the cross cart! Just a note, do what you can to keep the OEM air box on that new motor. Those sport bikes are really fussy about air and fuel. People try to do air box mods all the time to these kind of bikes and kind of shoot them selves in the foot because it is just too lean to tune out.

[@kevin34ct]

What you need is a ramp that lines up. with the bed of the truck. That's how I got my bike home from the dealer. They had a ramp to get in on and at my house, I'm lucky I have a sloped hill at the end of my driveway and was able to ride it off.
