Motorized Bike SAF Super Clutch (First Impressions)

[@JMB676]

I think that's funny, no matter what state your in or town your riding through 99% of all of us pedal when we pass a cop. I think it's just in our DNA. 😂

[@LAHover]

Hitting 40+mph, see a cope, start pedaling lol... If nothing else it might mess with their head just long enough to do the trick :P

Thank you that means allot :D

I watched a couple DLH videos,and went to his sight.The prices he charges are worth not having to do all the work yourself,especially if you're in an area without a good hardware store.I have 1 here that I actually have bought the ball-bearing from,along with nuts,and bolts.I still won't be building a clutch though.Thanks LA,for the great info,and a nice ride.It's not been above freezing for a couple weeks.

Good luck on the build! There will be headaches, but when you get it going the feeling is so nice! :)

Exactly what I was waiting for thank you

[@kevinpuckett8223]

I don't know what took me so long to find you site but I am glad I did. I'm still saving up money for my build. This is why I'm over 300 lbs and I don't just want it to ride I want it to run as close to 55 mph as I can get.With that being said please keep putting out if videos as you are with all the info and how to.

Another awesome video! Be careful of the spokes I've had the torque rip the spokes out after a good run. This is why using a lower HP motor is important but the spoke thing should still be priority!

Thanks I'll keep an eye on them :)

[@m.kasper7646]

Ken Tyler, Why not just buy better wheels, 10gage spoked rims, sealed bearings and an overall better idea than "going down on horsepower". And they're Disc brake equipped too. 🏁👍✌️

[@22YZ450FX]

@@m.kasper7646 Yes I'd agree now such things are made but in 1984 when we used 10 speed bike with 50cc engine and minibike clutch the sprocket did weld to the bike hub but no such 3rd party made these in 1984.. Thin ga spoke isn't made for motorized drive was all I was saying. I haven't had spokes come loose on the 22 yz450fx and I try to break em out..

Hello :)

Here before 100 views!

[@sanbyakuman]

How safe is this with the exposed rotating clutch? I'd be worried about getting my pants leg caught in it.

[@darcyhemeon4309]

If a person is worried about this a simple pant leg strap you could use , it's about as likely as catching your pants in the chain .. this is a custom option like on custom motorbikes with a open belt drive

[@LAHover]

I guess we will find out :P I'm not sure I did not give it much thought. Would want to keep an eye on shoe laces.

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

Keep it up

[@mjsmjs7905]

Yep, got pulled over on the Phatmoto doing about 35mph. Got searched got padded down, ran my driver's license. Two of them, they wanted to give me some but they didn't know what, so they let me go. In NH they could have given me $100 Citation for unregistered vehicle, but I wasn't going to tell them that.

[@LAHover]

Bet they were looking for illegal goods... these bikes sometimes get a bad wrap.

[@joeeastman]

Check your local law about “moped” specifications and see what is considered or classified as a “moped” ie, seat height, engine size ( usually 50cc and below but they can’t really prove if you’re running 66cc or higher), mirrors, lights and signals etc. I used to get shit all the time from the cops but they could never ticket me cause they were clueless on what I was actually riding. I eventually wrote an email to the chief of police explaining that my bike met the specs of a moped and to my amazement he wrote back telling me I was in the clear then and if I were to get stopped again just to show the email to the officer….no more problems 💪🏼

[@nurzrachit7133]

That is why I put a 49cc sticker on my motor. Legally I don't have to register in my state . Plus I don't go crazy in heavy traffic/population areas. I have noticed the police checking me out on a few occasions and they seem to want to do something about it, but then they just turn the head and act like they didn't notice me. It's actually a pretty big waste of their time to try to make something happen that gets them in my sheet. I want to put a 212cc on my Phatmoto, but it is too obvious when it's sitting up there looking All huge😂. I'm in the process of building a Felt Faker 2 stroke minerelli type skreet racer and I might do the 212 once I get that rolling completely. There's a lot of stuff I could do to the 79cc of the Phatty while it is out too, Port/polish/grind valve seats. Carb jets for max performance, exhaust mods, etc etc etc and I have a strong desire to try that stuff too. I've heard of people WHO DOUBLED their HP with mild energy applied to the build. Possibly get 8HP With some work? With that light an engine, it's a compelling option compared to the heavy 212.

[@HanzelFonferek]

This was clutch! Lol

Awesome content!!.. will definitely be checking into this ..but I'm hoping that the beefy spring that came with mine will be enough 😂😂....any luck with your idle??...

[@LAHover]

I hear good things bout them, they can handle most builds. I'm not sure about the idle yet. I did make a few changes that might help, but the clutch was dragging so I could not tell.

[@Urugami45]

OK, super strong clutch, no slipping, got it. What I want to see a vid about is that side camera you use. What's the mount? How do you control it? And how do you take the support bar out of the picture? THAT's what inquiring minds want to know. :)

[@JMB676]

It's kinda like a selfie stick, I believe he explained it in a previous video. It basically records on the front camera at like a 190 degrees and on the back camera at like a 190 degrees and then in edit it makes the stick disappear because it's recording that extra ten degrees both ways. The simpler explanation is, he knows witch craft. It's a super sick way to be able to record isn't it.

[@LAHover]

Spot on, thanks John

[@Urugami45]

Thanks for the explanation; I haven't seen the other vid you mentioned. And yeah, it's slick.

(Late) what can fix slipping of the clutch when starting “ex: popping clutch while pedaling to start it”.

[@JMB676]

Definitely a cool ass clutch and never having one myself I have always thought they are more for high end or big power builds and just never thought a basic motor really needs one. However if you base your decision on cool factor it's a no brainer. I gotta say I have been wanting to make my own for a while now, just cause it's cool looking.

[@LAHover]

I know you like to DIY, This will probably do allot to beef up a stock clutch. I'm sure some of the other guys sell them too, this is just where I know to find them. dlh-performance.myshopify.com/products/saf-budget-clutch?pr_prod_strat=collection_fallback&pr_rec_pid=7086756724913&pr_ref_pid=7086769733809&pr_seq=uniform

So sir I can’t know how much that build is or where can I find this SAF SUPER CLUTCH PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU

This bike was built slowly for over a year~. I estimate it came out to be about $1,500. As for the clutch, it's linked in the video description, and the website is shown in the video.

[@Technicallyfruit]

Hey, how come you haven’t done a review of the bbr tuning kits? I’d like to see your review and opinions on them (particularly the 100cc). I’ve been considering buying one soon to start my early spring builds.

[@accidentalnick1982]

I'm looking to upgrade to a motorcycle clutch and cable as well, do you recommend anything specific that would translate over good for these motorized bike engines? I have 0 experience with actual motorcycles so I have no idea what they use vs our use case.

[@joehfirebrimstone9727]

How do you have a disk brake and the sprocket. How do you make that work!?? It's nice info on the clutch

[@LAHover]

This frame "F-Zero" and the "Zeda Dawn V2" both come set up like that out of the box. They use a large rear rotor, smaller rear sprocket, and spacers to make it work. You can do it your self, but it's too much of a hassle for me to bother with. Kevin, from kzbin.info did his own, I think he has some videos about it.

[@jekekefe5923]

So if I put it on a low gear i can go up steep hills ? Can you pedal with the engine? What is the range of these bikes ?

[@joeeastman]

There’s 2 chains, the original bike chain and the motor chain. Your gears only affect the pedal chain (original) chain. Motor drive chain is only one speed. You can still pedal if going slow enough. Range is excellent if you’re just cruising the streets

[@coothethird]

Which bicycle are you using for this build? Would you recommend it?

[@LAHover]

This is the F-Zero, The CDH frame it is built on is nice and solid, but the rest of the part are nothing specials... Knowing what I know now, I would build onto this frame with better parts. Even if it means using a cheap Cranbrook as my daily while I slowly build something better in the background.

[@coothethird]

@@LAHover Thanks for the advice! I've been riding a 1990's Huffy Causeway with a modified YD100. Would like for the next bike to be a little more speed worthy and with the built in tank.

[@stephenfhauk]

Good video, But I have no need of some clutch that costs as much as my whole engine did. To each their own I don't see how it does much of anything accept let in dirt and debrief every time you use the clutch. $115 for a clutch, I don't think so! Hell I only paid $140 for the entire engine kit. Cool look but that's not what I built mine for.

[@darcyhemeon4309]

If you owned a minarelli probably need one or hi hp engine , your in a different class with all dew respect ! if your running a stock engine .there is no need for the SAF Super Clutch, I have several the top is 115 to my budget SAF Ata very reasonable price 45.00 , But as LA Hover states in video a stock engine just would not require this upgrade

I have the CNC SAF Super Clutch priced at 115.00 The new CNC SAF FORCE priced at 80.00 SAF Budget Clutch 45.00 Thier is a price range for all levels of builds

[@LAHover]

Thanks for the heads up It's good, you might be hearing the clutch dragging when I pull it in because it needed to be re-adjusted. His Force clutch comes in at $80 with the same bite and a nice look, it just does not have the custom face plates witch are what takes more time to make. And I predict the $45 budget clutch will have around 70-80% the performance of the super too, it just uses the stock presser plate. Performance and looks for every price range :)
