Sup bru! Thanks for posting I’m just waiting for some piston rings. That was all I needed to keep me waiting patiently.

[@JamesPiccone]

What size you need? I might be able to hook you up.

[@rogerstafford-wakeinc.2088]

@@JamesPiccone mail is on the way sir. Thank You

[@Littleevil9975]

That was a bad ass video bro that part was wicked sketchy. Where you almost wiped out. And I agree with selling the whole bike deal I’m not putting all my efforts into someone else’s build like I do my own. I fully agree with you there bro takes a lot of time and effort to learn n get right and someone new to the hobby definitely wouldn’t understand it

[@JamesPiccone]

Bro thank you, you were one of the last legit ones🙏💪

[@Littleevil9975]

Welcome bro any time and thanks appreciate that n I think the same thing about you, bro you have some of the best tuned bikes on the Internet. And hands-down, one of the best at doing ride videos, I would say.

[@mybikes1970]

That was a close one, bro 😮 It's good to see you back and on my favorite frame 🚲💨💨👍🏾

[@JamesPiccone]

It was a butt puckering event for sure.

[@Op1zilla]

He's back in action, I think id agree on most what u said, esp about not building bikes for people, not happening , Always tell them its a hobby your so-pose to build your own, Bike looks an sounds Great as always, thanks for Ripping it,, 👽👍🚵💥☁☁☁

[@JamesPiccone]

Thanks brotha Zilla 💪😎.

[@mikemiller3303]

Good morning James beautiful ride along bro one of my builds has coster brakes had that happen to me I've been packing rear hub with Lucas tacky red grease works great it can handle the heat and about selling bikes to me you never get the money back because something always breaks with that cheap steal and they want it for free if you build or help them build their bike you are going to be there mechanic NOT ! I might ride a minaralli but it was fucked when I got it and if it wasn't for a lot of you guys explaining squash and cleaning up the ports greasing on a regular basis she wouldn't have 1500miles on her that's another thing I noticed with some of these young builders in my city don't want to do any research on how to fix it or the thing that really pisses me off not just motorized bicycles all bicycles in my town be Riding on the wrong side of the road they don't understand when they piss the man off he's gonna make laws for these bicycles ride safe brother ps them Goodyear inter tube works well for regular bicycle rims valve stems are to short for mag rims just barely sticks out lol

[@JamesPiccone]

Thanks Mike 👍, appreciate your kind words. That's the exact grease I use bro the red"N" tacky, I repacked the bearings this winter. It seems after I greased the wheel the rear coaster brake became more grabby. I know I shouldn't be using that coaster brake still, it's just that rear wheel is super high quality with 11 gauge spokes.

[@furmaster212]

Wondering where u was bro. U got me excited to build a yd100 this summer. Stay legit never quit motored life

[@JamesPiccone]

You need any help bro holler at me.

[@davidprice5350]

Welcome back bro bike sounds great well I got that yd100 u was talking about that damn motor hates me 😂 its running ok but it want stay running I have to keep giving it gas I got some jets on the way and put the needle all the way up I like the motor and hate all in one lol 😂 thanks for the ripping but great to have you back and great save your ass was about to go for a hell of a ride right there

[@JamesPiccone]

Thanks bro and I'm sorry about the issues you're having with your bike. I'll help you if I can just got to figure out exactly what it is. I got you though bro, just chip away at it.

[@davidprice5350]

​@@JamesPicconethanks bro the one thing it's doing is not idling I think I need a bigger jet I ordered some jets and a new modified intake and I have a OKO carburetor 24mm for it going try it out it just doesn't like to run good if ur going slow but u was right it's a good motor I just need to learn how to tune it I guess 😂

[@JamesPiccone]

​​@@davidprice5350 Make sure you're not using too big of a carburetor if it's not ported for it. Anything bigger than 19mm becomes very inefficient at atomizing fuel especially at idle. Think of this analogy, it's easier to blow out candles with your lips closer together than your mouth wide open🌬️

[@KevinTodd]

I counted maybe 19 to 20 car on the road what a beautiful place to ride the scenery is awesome. Now lets get down to business I need to know where to get that gas cap and holy sh#$%^ brother I glad you pull that off damn !!!!! close call are you running coaster brakes just wondering good save brother.

[@JamesPiccone]

Thank you brother for the compliments.I bought that gas cap a long time ago. Just measure the old cap diameter around 32 ish mm & search that size gas cap. I don't know if I could even find it again if I tried. My rear brake is a coaster brake unfortunately. Man that was a close call. Only reason why I keep rocking that coaster brake is the that wheel is super high-quality with 11g spokes.

[@KevinTodd]

@@JamesPiccone Just thankful you didn't wipe out

[@JamesPiccone]

@@KevinTodd I emailed you a link of those gas caps brother 💪😎

[@grendelsgarage9723]

Thanks for the ride 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JamesPiccone]

I thank you as well, you're awesome 🤙

[@grendelsgarage9723]

@James Piccone got to say brother, watched you video like 3 times, and wow, I'm not sure how you saved yourself when your rear locked up. It happened so fast! Wow! Thanks a million for making your videos 📹

[@dustinh4175]

That front tire saved you. That was sketchy as f. Nice save dude. I bet that was an adrenaline dump.

[@fixitfast-xk8fj]

I live near naches trace close to Cherokee Alabama that pulled power meter looks familiar around here and the sharp curves and hills are hell on a bike ..nice set up im going from a yd to a bt 100 heard they was twice the power .. awesome build you have there everything you have said is true.. be careful with that rocket be safe

[@jray4957]

Nice 👍🏾 bro

[@keeganhache6667]

I hear y’a on the pedal assisted speed runs to me that’s not the motor doing 50+ mph the person on the bike is doing a lot of work to get that speed. Bike pulls good

[@JamesPiccone]

Thank you bro.

[@anthonystidder7968]

Nice ride brother bike looks sick how quick did ya get

[@JamesPiccone]

On the way home guessing 47-50 ish. 8300-9100 RPM. Speed limits 50 around where I live and I never get past by cars.

[@anthonystidder]

@@JamesPiccone thats so sweet. what cc is it and mods done to make it so quick? wish we had more of this stuff down here in new zealand bro

[@JamesPiccone]

@@anthonystidder Thanks bro, it's mainly port work and jetting. As far as the CC I'm not too sure it's a 49mm bore & 38-40mm stroke.

[@Paul_Gale]

My 80cc stock china-doll does 24mph ...39 kph. hitting double that shows your skills bro It shakes bad at high rpm. Just finished the first gallon of 16 to 1. I'm going to try to lean the carb a bit by lowerring the needle I was going to start upgrading with an expansion chamber exhaust. is that a good place to start ? I'm a nube to the hobby so any suggestions are appricated!

[@wyvern4588]

What Sprocket? if you want top speed a 36 is the best, but it will require pedaling up to 10 or so.

[@Paul_Gale]

44 tooth with rag joint, the one that comes stock. But yeah, I was thinking of ordering a hub mount and 36-tooth sprocket soon and an expansion chamber pipe. I took off the air filter and got it to 29mph@@wyvern4588

[@mikemiller3303]

James someone in the chat last night was saying that the Goodyear inter tubes don't come self sealing they do someone done posted them

[@JamesPiccone]

You're right, I found them but you're still better off getting the heavy duty inner tubes and adding your own slime if need be. Put it this way self-sealing inner tubes ain't as thick and slime don't do much. I've used slime for years and never needed it.

[@mikemiller3303]

@@JamesPiccone yes sir that's what I do add slime and usually that's what it does makes a mess or hard to patch I use throne busters tire liners

[@JamesPiccone]

@@mikemiller3303 That's also a lot of extra weight to be adding, especially it being rotational weight. I've had slime mess up the Schrader valve where it gets the valve clogged up. They used to have & offer 60% thicker Goodyear inner tube but they only offer 30% heavy duty's now. I used to use slime all the time until I had better performance without it. But dude was right and I wrong.

Scary Bro,, too scary,, 20:21 what the Frik was that a pot hole 👽👍🏻

[@JamesPiccone]

​@@Op1zilla I was using my rear break into that turn and it locked up.

[@Op1zilla]

Not gonna lie shit was lil scary, an close, good saves, Dang 👽👍

[@JamesPiccone]

​@@Op1zilla I know I shouldn't still be using that coaster brake it's just such a high-quality rear wheel with 11 gauge spokes.

[@Op1zilla]

@@JamesPiccone Better than no brakes, my blue bike only has a coaster upfront, Wish it had disk👽👍🏻

[@Ragz10]

Niceee if possible can know the parts fir this setup?

[@JamesPiccone]

Besides a NIBBI carburetor and an mz65 pipe, it's all Port work and jetting basically. Also too much stuff to name off.

[@Ragz10]

@@JamesPiccone neat. I currently top out at 40mph sometimes 42. Stock carb reeded n nasty jack pipe. Only port work was slightly widen the exhaust to Abt 65%bore

[@Ragz10]

I would say u def should get speedometer

[@JamesPiccone]

I pretty much know how fast I'm going based off of RPM. But I don't trust my phone mounted to the handlebars, I'm too scared to lose it.

[@Ragz10]

@@JamesPiccone understand phone almost died when my phone mount died. I switched to the ones that read off wheel

[@BurleyBob0010]

Great build man! I use a Sturmey Archer front wheel that's got a nice drum brake and looks really cool as well. Living in New Hampshire is hiily and windy roads and the front drum brake I've found works best on motorized bikes.

[@RaoulDuke224]

I have one question with is that silver thing on your Handel bars

[@JamesPiccone]

Handlebar brace prevents barflex.
