I'm still using the original chain tensioner and yes, if you aren't careful that thing can easily slip and lock your rear tire up. One thing I did to prevent it was take an old bike inner tube and cut a couple pieces to wrap around the tube on the bike then installed the tensioner over the inner tube and cranked the bolts down, it hasn't moved at all since doing that. I'm thinking about updating my rear sprocket to the adapter type setup you have, it looks far superior to the rag joint setup. I'm using the rag joint setup right now, but the sprocket & adapter is definitely on my upgrade list. As for the rest of the engine I don't really plan on doing anything else to it for power, it does 30mph on flat ground, that's plenty fast for bicycle tires LOL. BTW, great detailed video and explanations of why these items need to be addressed, the tensioner is a major safety issue, if that thing slips into the spokes of your back wheel, it can throw you off the bike in a heartbeat. I didn't know about gasbike.net until running across your video, I got my kit from Bikeberry, but looks like gasbike.net has far more accessories and options.

This is at least the third hack I've seen/read about for using old innertube ;) One was to use it between the engine mounts/brackets and the frame to reduce shaking, and the other was to cut circular "grommet" type pieces to seal the [cheapo kit] gas can cap to the can so as to prevent leaks while riding.

The chain tensioner was my nightmare too..! I saw this piece of shit tilting towards the wheel while I was doing 40 mph. So, I made a similar solution myself. Yours is made out of aluminum mine is stainless steel but only 2 mm thick plate and the arm has a little bend lengthwise in order to be light but incredibly sturdy. I might invest in the sprocket because I haven't the tools to CNC machine it. Happy riding..!

I baught the same chain tensioner for my motorized bicycle and I love it. The only thing I don't like about it, it's the roller that come it. The chain comes of when you ride and sometimes you have to put the chain back on which is so annoying and worthless. Please change the roller and put on the other roller that comes with the stock tensioner, that way you have problems with your chain coming off. I hope it helps for someone who have the same issues that I have

I did the same thing. Did my research and people said the rag joint and spring tensioner is crap so I never even used them. My adapter slipped (used some different materials as a shim and failed) and messed up my spokes. Problem is that I bought a one inch hub adapter and my hub is just barely smaller than that. Thus right now I am grounded and considering mag wheels or fixing the current rim and really working hard to engineer some shims so it doesn't slip again.

Bike Berry did a video on what you need to do to the hub mounts to make them work. Have to shave a bit off one end of one half so it clamps tighter and make a keyway in the hub & hub Mount. I'm sticking with rag joints as I don't have the tools to machine all that. I have one of those chain tensioners tho, they are phenomenal

The tensioner that they give in the kit is horrible! I had 4 spokes ripped out of the rim!had to get a whole new wheel, then broke 3 spokes out of that one. You are way better getting a tensioner like that. I will be getting these parts as I get paid. Loving your videos, I am learning a lot, thank you man.

sprocket adapter and spring chain tensioner FTW! I have a similar gas bike style rear adapter. interestingly, it actually works put on either way because the recessed side allows it to sit further onto the inner Hub so the space and comes out almost identical either way you put it - although I still prefer the way shown in the video where the bolts are flush, so even if things start to come loose you've got less chance of the bolt shearing off against the freaking coaster arm or something like that. rear sprocket adapter is one of the only parts I assemble with Red (permanent AF!) Locktite so it lasts at least a couple thousand miles. Blue Locktite it the first time though, and it'll last you couple hundred miles unless you tighten it too hard or too weak next upgrades on my prefs list could maybe be expansion chamber and Sturmey-Archer front drum brake or disc brake

On my motorized bike on the top chain after about around 2 inch of slack or more top drive chain in middle. I try to periodically check this measurement before riding. I knew I should have tightened it before I took it out but you know how that sometimes goes when you want to go riding. the chain jumped off the first time then the second time from chain too loose come off and binded up I replaced it. But I find if the drive chain I'm speaking of is too snug it's very hard to pedal. The looser chain gets the faster you can pedal it. And I'm sure this goes for the pedal chain too. And I have the stock flat wheel chain tensioner non spring loaded. About how much slack did you have in the top chain when it jumped off if you noticed?

Very useful video, however I don't share the same thoughts about the hard rubber adapters for the sprocket, the 2 stroke engine is not soft in normal use there are more pulls and push to the chain than we may think, this can punish the bearings inside the hub of the rear wheel so the stock adapters act like dampeners between the transmission and the wheel itself, they come with lock nuts and lock washers which will never fall off, as I said its just my theory. I drilled a hole in the middle of the chain tensioner between the tube of the bike and the 2 14mm screws, it works amazing, Im thinking about building a homemade spring tensioner since I can't find one for less than 40$ which I think its too damn expensive for a metal piece and a spring...

Iv'e seen the stock tensioner fall into the spokes. Iv'e also drilled the little set screw to hold stock tensioner. The guy that bought the bike with the set screw forgot to pull the clutch at a stop and the frame bent where we drilled the hole. If you are 200 pounds think about heavy duty rear wheel, If your 250 think about a 29 inch bike.

Beekibye YES! Exactly my thoughts! They sell those for way too high because they know there are only a couple options out there. There is Tons of DIY creation space in the motorized bicycle world and people just need to start developing new and better ways of doing stuff then sharing that knowledge on the webs so everyone can benefit from it! We dont need to give those Chinese corporations any more money than is absolutely necessary.

My tensioner came in right at a turn after a 40mph stop and broke my spokes and masterlink, i ordered this tensioner with the sprocket instead of the wheel

I got a spring idler chain tensioner that mounts on the chain stay like the original one. Do you think it would be better to get the one that mounts to the clutch cover like yours?

Tbh I find that even without this chain tensioner that happens. The way I found to combat that is take the manifold off there and the back plate of it that the chain would ride on I ground it out in a half moon shape just enough room for the chain to more freely turn under the manifold. It's a problem with all of these kits even the "bbr tuning" over priced JUNK

To get more speed you need to upgrade more smaller sprocket tooth count gets more speed but also to get better performance from your engine get a boost bottle and the intake for the boost bottle line to connect too and replace the stock exhaust with an expansion chamber exhaust also a higher performance cylinder head instead of the stock one it came with for better compression and better flow

The stock sprocket is perfect for a stock engine. If you go smaller, you'll need more power, unless you live in an area with no hills. Try working a stock engine hard up hills with a 36 tooth, and you'll "lug" your engine, which ruins it over time.

first thanks for the video I do agree with you in both of this items. I have a question as for the carburetor, I noticed that you are using the stock exhaust, did you re-jet the high performance carburetor and if so what size jet are you running? I ask you because I tried one of them with my 80cc and with the stock exhaust it would choke, after putting and expansion chamber it still does, not as bad but I choose to take it off, because it was still choking. Something else that the sprockets guys make is the rubber motor mount, these are nice also.

sorry for the late reply man. I did rejet to a .64mm. It's a little cold blooded with this lean of a jet but once it warms up it runs great. These carbs are limited in tuning to either jetting or the idle adjustment screw. Chances are you will not have perfect throttle response from idle to wide open throttle but a .64 jet was the best overall for me.
