Ayyy I’ve got the blue maruchan one too

[@dylanmoore1006]

Could be the one I had, I sold mine for 500$ shortly after this video was made

@@dylanmoore1006 this one’s been where it has for many many years now sorry

[@srcobra50]

Quick governor bypass is to zip tie the spring so it doesn’t expand. Quickest way to bypass it. Also I believe the rear sprocket is 80 tooth and its stock on these. Sweet bike man. I have one but it’s completely stock with it’s original tecumseh 3.5hp engine

[@dylanmoore1006]

Oh nice that you have the original engine, Im currently selling it but not if I can't get more than 350 since it's a rare unit.

[@srcobra50]

Dylan Moore I got mine for 330. I’m sure you can get 400 for it

[@rickmcgloin1816]

thats how i been doing them...

[@Staygoldfarms]

I have one with a ssr front end welded on. Rides pretty good. The 212 is nuts but it’s a good runner

[@rickmcgloin1816]

stock 212 with a 63 tooth rear sprocket...41 mph, i clocked mine today

[@dylanmoore1006]

Eventually, I found a 53 tooth on amazon, It took away all the bottom end, but I was reaching just shy of 60mph. I'd do it again

[@americanman0824]

​just did the samd mod. Should i go 53 tooth?@@dylanmoore1006

[@farmersam1347]

Have that same bike and the govener is off tops out at 40

[@dylanmoore1006]

Is it blue?

[@farmersam1347]

It was actually red

[@farmersam1347]

It has a Subaru robin in it instead of a Subaru predator

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

Those thing are wheelie monster's

[@levicoffel7490]

Can u do more of the apollo 007

[@dylanmoore1006]

Oh yea I'm gonna upload a video on that soon after I get my new tires on it, I put metal mulisha graphics in it too

[@trentonabdulhafeez412]

Hey idk if you’ll see this but what harbor freight tires and wheels were you using?

[@dylanmoore1006]

I sold the bike, but I remember the wheels did look like they came from harbor freight. I wanna say they were 10" wheels.

[@mannyv4044]

I have one but It didn’t come with wheels or tires, and I can’t find any that are like the stock ones

[@Etn-ls1co]

How long is the chain??

[@dylanmoore1006]

I sold the bike. It was nearly a whole 140 link chain from what I recall. Size was 420

[@crybabylocr4012]

My chain keeps breaking have no idea why

[@dylanmoore1006]

keep some slack on your chain and get a racing chain. You should have about 2-3 fingers of play.

[@DerivingsPvP]

Did you have to make new mounting holes to fit the 212? Or use original ?

[@dylanmoore1006]

The original ones fit it

[@DerivingsPvP]

@@dylanmoore1006 How long did the swap take? Any welding needed? Juust wondering cause I got myself a blue Manco Thunderbird today and gonna swap engines soon
