Motorized Bicycle - 87cc Frankenstein vs Phantom 85 - Night & Day Difference!

[@johnjriggsarchery2457]

I love the idea of these simple engines because it takes us back to when people knew how to work on their own machines. Heck, I just bought one just because.

[@duskycotw8404]

nice man

[@JMB676]

Such a sweet setup brother I definitely want to build one of these for my channel, hopefully one day I’ll be able to afford it so I can build it. Thanks for sharing

[@garylee7774]

All the Super Bike Racers complained about not seeing videos on Ken's engines... so thanks for posting this! So many haters!!

[@musclevation9640]

I did some research, and the cylinder on the frankenstein is where all the power comes from. Its a Nikasil coated STIHL chainsaw cylinder and piston. At least that's what the original Frankenstein from Zeda Motorsports was. You can get 10 horsepower stock just by bolting one of those babies on with a good carb and pipe. They're rev out to like 14000 RPM!! That's why Stihl chainsaws are the best.

[@chrisnano1266]

Stihl is German engineered

[@dmoore0079]

The Stihl chainsaw cylinders have a couple of benefits - 1) much larger bores available than what you can get with the Chinese bicycle motors and 2) Much better port design and timing - especially the transfers, which provide much higher fuel velocity into the cylinder. This provides a lot more all around power than the bike engine cylinders. I'm currently working on putting together a Stihl 044 hybrid (only 50mm bore, but the piston uses a 10mm wrist pin which is a drop in fit for our pistons). With that cylinder and a case reed setup, I should be able to come out somewhere around 6-7hp.

[@JDProductions_YT]

Yes sir once you hit the poweband better be hanging on I've gotten mine to 45 50 mph before I backed off with more throttle left feels like a rocket 45 50 is hauling on a motorized Bike

[@derrickstell420]

My 100cc stock is going 36mph with the 34tooth sprocket, can't wait see top speed with these new parts coming in gosh seeing him do them speeds makes me hhyyppeeeee

[@mikemiller3303]

I'm jealous dam nice ride and OMG 55 mph or close enough lol nice ride safe

[@Westhelockpicker]

They need to make a good expansion chamber exhaust for the phantom 85! I already got the G2 reed valve so I could install a 22mm pwk carburetor. I've actually heard of people drilling holes in the bottom of the stock exhaust but I can't imagine it sounding good or give you the power of a good expansion chamber and awesome looking bike!

[@Littleevil9975]

I like that motor setup looks sweet and nice run to bro for some reason I had to subscribe again to your channel said I was not subbed

hey would you come by to pompano beach with any build to see what I'm needing to do on my build (RM80, high compression head, arbeo 15 15 sha carb and custom back wheel)

[@kjsmolik]

The original Frankenstein was not built by Ken. It was built by Robert Buanchi with zeda motorsports years ago before Ken started.

[@warscarz5541]

You are correct but ken hinson perfected it rob built the ms660 and didn't make many of them that was right before he retired ken started about 2 1/2 years ago but has done way more I have a 395xp chop top and he built the sawzilla the 127cc 088 ms880 magnum and ms440 and 460 also have a 660 the 440 50mm hit 60mph 36t sprocket if you tune that ms460 52mm right and right pipe you should do 65,+ mph

If you got rid of the 2 foot of heater hose tubing youd prob hit your p.b. easily and prob 60 ...Your murdering the power with the exhaust setup

[@garyhollin9702]

Where can I find the Frank. Motor and how much cost.

[@Bigfootman88]

Hey bro I just got the same carb PWK 21mm but is there a way to adapt the larger intake on the carb to the smaller 40mm intake tube even if not using a reed setup? If so where can I get it? Tried local stores and they dont have anything that would work.

[@motorizedbikesar7000]

Cool video bro 👍👍👍... Thanks for the content

[@ThatOneGuyWithTheEye]

What adapters are you using to attach that reed valve to the round intake? It would really help me with my build. Thanks for any info!

[@Spooky-z8r]

Is that a Monarch Springer front end - type 2? Be careful with it. Mine came out of the crimping that was installed in it. Lucky I wasn't moving on the road...

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

I wonder could this be a reliable engine for a daily Rider and how long would it last my current engine has about 6 years and no problems but only max out at 40

[@MJTechChannel]

It all comes down to oil quality, mixture and how hard you ride. If you try to always shoot for the max then it might not last as long. This engine sounds relaxed at 35-40mph.

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

@@MJTechChannel yeah my daily Rider top speed is 40 and man that thing loves to scream at 38 and 40 all day long so far it's been two years solid actually no maintenance or tighten up anything it's holding up great and it's an old motor I got from some other dude originally topped out at 32 miles but once I did some Port work I got it to hit the 40 mark it's not the fastest or quick is bike but it gets used to point A to point B I'm just curious with the conversion you have to retype holes or use epoxy or J-B Weld which I really don't think does good over in heat

Yea I dnt know if the price fir the 85 justify the speed in it.I paid 180 with delivery for the anbull "100" cc and rite out the box with one home free mod hit 39 mph on a 44 tooth sprocket

[@refuge33]

no way your hitting 40mph with a 44tooth rear, i don't care if you stick a ls7 in it. a 44 tooth won't go that fast unless your Anbull is hitting 17,000 rpm it's called mathematics bro, learn some...

[@warscarz5541]

Hey bro love ken hinson I have the 395xp chop top with pw80 head and I had a ms440 with a kx85 pipe and a 36t sprocket and a vm24 carburetor you definitely need a mukuni and go back to a 36t get a mukuni vm24 carburetor or tm24 and take that long rubber pipe off you have no power band the pipe length is wrong you can hear where the powerband wants to hit but it studders cuz your shockwave is not getting back to the cylinder in time my ms440 no reed or window piston just two finger ports and it did 58mph power band should hit 38/40mph on a 36t sprocket anything below 36t is to small for that motor

[@vlogcity1111]

32t teeth is where it’s at especially for cruising around 20-30mph without having it revved to the gills.

[@coltonmcelroy9792]

When you say two finger ports, Do you mean two finger ports on the side of the piston on the exhaust side? Can you explain a little more for me? I’m currently contemplating buying a ms440 cylinder an piston for my phantom 85 bottom end an running it without a reed an using a vm24 carb. I’m just wondering what exactly I need to do with my piston when it comes to a windowing it. I can’t just leave it sealed without porting it out correct? Basically can you give me a run down if exactly what I need to do to bolt on a stihl 440 to my phantom 85 bottom end. I plan on using a kx85 pipe also I’ll cut an re weld to work.

[@JoseDiaz-kv5cz]

I just got mine, and waiting on wrist clips, but mine came with bearings instead of bushing, is that gonna be ok? Still little play in piston.

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

Very cool 😎!

[@jamaldrinkliquor7445]

The ms460 almost cruises at the phantoms top speed...At least for that 33t you are using. What was the top speed on a 36t?

What size piston is the frank have. There’s two sizes I believe for them just wondering if you know?

[@matouslitera8073]

Man she pulls hard. I'm a little jealous. I don't have the money for a built engine like this. We don't even get Phantoms here, just 50s, 66s and yd100s, nothing else

[@MJTechChannel]

Man that sucks 😕

[@JMB676]

Yd100 can do this with work like this has with good port timing, I just build a dio Reed for my buddy and he hit 52mph and he said it had a lot more but got nervous on a 32t sprocket. My personal yd100 piston port hit 47 just some port work with 32t sprocket. My personal yd100 dio Reed hits 45 easy with 44t sprocket. So you got what you need tbh just got so the work, it’s not hard but if you need help and advice hit me up.

[@ericwiederrick3323]

Okay you say you went what was your wheel spacing on the screen you should probably a gesture will spacing to the size of the bike

[@arrepuess]

Id try the HDA 43 carb. Its a pumper carb that aerates fuel much better. Its a different setup, but ive found they are way easier to tune. I tried a lesser hda223 carb on a cheap flying horse engine that i ported, with stock gears, no reed, and stock but modified exhaust, and got 36mph. “Which is not alot, but was mostly stock”…But it vibrated like crazy as its a crap engine. “At the time i wasnt knowledgeable on what bike engines were best”. I have a video of it on my page. By the looks of it, the carb on these bikes have a a very long travel. Especially the reeded ones. Not sure but looks like its overkill when it can be simpler, more direct, and way more tunable.

[@Snake.br549]

The problem is in the Reed valve chainsaws don't have them intake and carb are just too big for some reason that just kills the torque

[@RubberSalt]

On a well ported motor, those carbs work just fine.

[@earlgarcia9824]

Change that chain guide , spring loaded tensioner is needed , bigger gauge spokes especially at those speeds , it's cool it's fast , but definitely not a daily commuter , it's a bicycle frame, I ride motorcycles ,I wouldn't even think about those speeds on a bicycle. Stay Safe.👍

[@DylanSchmidt-gu2sx]

So how long did the engine last you riding it like that? At least the top end? I’m always scared to go full throttle for long periods of time.

[@bryceevans8340]

I do like 30 its a good speed but my bike does hit 40 something with a head upgrade, expansion chamber, racing carb, 36 tooth sprocket, and the high performance cdi with magneto.... I use my bike everyday and go like 40 half the time but the piston rings like to wear along with the clutch pads a little faster than normal it's been like 3 or 4 months still going strong with no major problems at all going easy on your engine is the way to go so it lasts longer before having to rebuild anything

[@DylanSchmidt-gu2sx]

@@bryceevans8340 absolutely. I’ve built close to a thousand bikes now. Although I know how they preform I like getting information from other people as well. Never know everything! Always something to learn. Just love seeing more bikes buddies out there having some quality fun! Good to know that. I had someone buy a bike from me not to long ago, dude pinned it full throttle and burnt a hole in the piston about 5 miles down the road. Dude was obviously a drug addict. I made him take apart the kit with a wrench while I had a table full of power tools next to him lol. And made him pay for the engine. Stay safe buddy.

[@scotthansford3657]

How’s the motor holding up?

[@jayrazz8499]

What carburetor??

[@soundqubedkiller5885]

So you got more mph with a bigger sproket? Is that because of better use of the power band?

[@neonninja6117]

Yes because you need just enough torque to get those top speeds, with a smaller sprocket you get less torque

[@peterfreekinpan1300]

[@jamesfulerten8494]

I don't think people care about top speed that much because you really don't need it. What is more important is take off torque and powerful reliable quick take offs from lights, stop signs and moving across intersections quickly and then reaching a reasonable cruising speed of 20 to 30 mph with some torque left over. It is fun though to find out your motors top speed although you may never use it daily.
