[@danielvannuland2681]

@@njmxjunkie3128 the engine can be whatever you want, not sure how you can come to a conclusion its good for a grom.... the suspension is trash with 8hp, 40 would suck. Whats it cost? Spending more than double (for a new grom) to make it rideable is ridiculous. Groms are expensive enough as it is for mods and parts. Big bore kit is a better route imo, once someone passes 20hp with a swap makes one think you shoulda just bought a bigger bike that will do more and not cost nearly as much.🤷‍♂️

Love all the engine swaps, hoping one day soon I'll have my own garage so I can start trying to learn how to weld. You're definitely inspiring a lot of people to get out and try some fabrication!

[@Monkeywrenchmotorcycles]

Badass build!! Couple things: they make a laser chain alignment tool with a cat 5 laser, I have one and it helped immensely with the build I did putting an R1 engine into a Yamaha Raptor 700 frame; 2: even if you close your eyes, welding will still burn your eyes…

Interesting idea! Sounds crazy dude

[@thedude7726]

Anyone the welds with no mask is plain lazy.

[@eddiespagetti8395]

Welding will not blind you. I have welded for over 25 years. Many times serious welds with no eye protection because the big welders helmets suck. Real welders do not need helmets. Helmets are for special handicapped welders who fall down too much

I like the project overall. From personal experience, I have seen fuel cells get welded on after being filled with water then empties and rinsed more then welded, explode. The fumes don't get washed out and they are what is dangerous. I usually purge with pure argon before welding for safety. I can't wait to watch this run on 2 stroke power!

[@donutdan1508]

Guys used to flash off fumes from large tanks then weld on them. But if they went to lunch and came back the fumes were built up again and would explode when flashed again. I would wash the tank real good then flood with Argon like you mentioned. Redundancy would be a good idea. Be safe everyone Donut Dan

I love my Grom. My friends are surprised when they ride it saying it rides like a bigger bike than it is. Mine is converted to a 32 kilowatt or 32000-watt electric motor and 100.8v 60ah Lithium-ion battery using Samsung 21700 40T cells. It hauls tail. You should someday consider doing an Electric build. If you ever do I can help you out choosing the right parts. Might be able to have some companies donate for a build for your KZbin channel. I'm sure they will as they donate to channels way smaller than yours. Electic cross kart running 40 kilowatts would be gnarly! Nothing would touch it.

[@donutdan1508]

[@cozmo9017]

I love it! Maybe rounding off the bottom front of the box section will give it a slightly more refined look?

[@jimmycav369]

I need to look into taking a welding class after watching this! Can't wait for part 2!

[@FarmerFpv]

Nah, don't waste your time taking a class. Just go to Amason and grab a Forney Easy Weld Flux Core welder and go ham on a piece of scrap. It will click fast. Watch a few Tutorial videos here on youtube. It's easier than people think it is. Especially with the Forney Easy Weld which is labeled for every steel gauge setting and has automatic feed and arc control. I taught myself 15 years ago without videos in a day or two. Later on, you can get a tig welder but for most builds like this, a flux core is all you need to weld tube and plate steel. KZbin University is all you need.

The Blaster 200cc makes 17hp from factory.. you could be up to like 25hp but not 40hp. My CR85 makes 25hp, but it has a 102cc big bore and ALLL the mods, so realistically its about 30hp 😎 (the big bore only really give torque not hp).

[@mazdaman85rx7]

I honestly like to have died when I read 40hp lol

[@thatfast3002]

To get 40hp from a blaster motor it would have to be a drag motor

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

It looks like a 240 big bore cylinder so its probably mid to high 30s i would get it ported and put a bigger carb and vforce reeds and it will definitely be in the 40s

Hey man, you should buy a Motion Pro chain alignment tool. They are only 16 dollars on eBay or Amazon. It makes it so easy to get it perfect.

Man this one threw me off guard I like it! Definitely an awesome upgrade

[@jdsstegman]

Got to get your hands on some of the European 2 strokes. I put an rd 350 in a 1994 ninja 250 frame. Wicked fast. Working on a banshee engine in a 1995 ninja 500 frame. That should be even better as there is more power to be made from the banshee engine. Keep up the great work! Not sure how the old motor was mounted but like on my moded bikes the original engines were rubber mounted in the motor to frame. Meaning putting a solid mount on the motor it really vibrates. The 2 stoke machines these came out of the bars and foot pegs were rubber mounted. So I added banshee rubber engine mounts to my custom made frame to get around the issue.

[@Ham_Strokers_Ejacula]

Stock is 15-17hp but if your gonna go through the trouble of throwing a small 2 stroke why a yfs200 and not a dt200? The dt is liquid cooled and stock is like 33hp.

I know the Blaster is pretty similar to a Yamaha IT200 motor. That leaves me wondering if you could have squeezed in a Yamaha IT250... or even IT465 or 490 motor.
