Cool beginning! I actually played back the long version while I was working from home yesterday, pretty neat. I love cruising back roads on my motorized bike but I've noticed the sides of the road are usually really bad, your bike looks like it takes bumps pretty well. I've never noticed how many people walk/run and bikers in tight pants roam the back roads near me. They dont seem amused when I pass them even though I give plenty of room going to the other side of the road when I pass and I am 100% legal as far as I know running my bike here in WI. I hear leaf blowers and weed whackers at 6am near me 3 days a week in the summer and no one bats an eye but as soon as you put a motor on a bike people go nutty.

I seem to have the opposite scenario where I live. Even though these bikes are illegal here due to a technicality which makes them impossible to register despite being considered a motor vehicle, every time I ride around my town, people stop and ask questions. "Where did you get that? How fast is it? How much for you to build me one?" Ect. Even with my expansion chamber pipe roaring down quiet side roads at night, people seem more prone to giving me a thumbs up than a dirty look. Honestly, it makes me kinda feel like a local celebrity or something.

You got a (rare) like outta me simply because you grease wheel bearings! I can't tell you how much rolling resistance a poorly adjusted/ungreased wheel bearing adds to a bike. I had a buddy come over for a ride we were both on very similar haro bmx-style bikes. We swapped a couple times and I knew his bearings were either shot or almost there. I waited for him to say something and waited till we got back. I, then, promptly gave a bearing packing and adjustment tutorial. It was like night and day for him and added another fan to bearing aficionados everywhere.
@stevesteve82643 жыл бұрын
The worst thing is over tightening the bearings for drag and damage. No grease will wear the bearings and race out real fast. But greasing them and then over tightening will SLOW you down and once you have wheel wobble you've worn those parts down beyond just a grease job. If you have sealed bearings it's all good but even washing your bike without them you should re grease them pretty quick, especially running an engine. Don't forget the cassette... not pedaling for so many miles means the rear gears are always clicking away. If the ratchet in it gets dry the fingers will fall out. Sorry for the long message lol

Vibration is everything. Put some rubber strips between your motor mounts and the frame using an old bicycle tire or garden hose. Wear padded bike shorts like the Tour de France pro's. (You can wear them under your cargo shorts if you're self conscious) Wear padded cycling gloves to reduce vibrations into your hands too. Be sure to stand on the pedals every ten minutes or so. But you should probably be giving the motor a chance to cool down every 20 miles or so anyways.

Sometimes a tank and a half. Lots of rolling hills but most of the trip was a straight shot. I was a nice ride on that size wheel and I took the lane because the bike held a nice speed also lots of kudos and cellphone picks from motorist along the way. So many curious people along the way.

Relax and Enjoy the Ride. Try not to worry about things that may go wrong during the ride. Fifth .... Tell a Loved One or a Friend your ride route. In case you do not return from the Ride. Things happen. Accidents happen. Animals may attack you on the bike. I've had snakes, gators, bear, boar, and cougars try and catch me before. It happens. Be Safe. Be Cautious. Be Alert.

A bit late but injection water cooling while running hot - requires a gravity feed and distilled water and a drip needle into the carb intake. It vaporizes and that cools the engine - like misty air. Be sure it won't drip into the engine but into the air-stream or figure it out. I have only done this for a 71 Transporter using a washer pump for the trip up the mountain - never had to pull over - no issues for 2 years. Oh yeah - years before that using my big Chevy van w/350CI. Was not unheard of.

About the gpu/cpu cooler thing... Some of them have a lot of fins close to each other. Those are designed for active cooling, where you have a fan blowing all the time, and some are passive cooled, the fins are spread apart. This all have to do with the static pressure of the air being able to go through the fins, passive ones relying only on convection. Assuming that you may be able to mount one of these to you head, maybe if you line up the fins to the front, you can get more effective cooling. Now... a bike frame is usually made of aluminum. It it stupid for me to think that the frame can somehow be linked to the head and used to sink some heat?

at 13:47 you mentioned that anyone should speak up if we do trail terrain on a cruiser... well, that's me! :) I don't have any videos of it, but essentially I was given a Micargi beach cruiser and a (very poorly assembled) engine kit. The original owners apparently had no technical skills (fixing their 'work' gave me a real hard time), and so they just gave up and gave it to me for free. [[one of their issues I'm working on right now is they misaligned the rear sprocket, so I'm working on that later today.]] I don't really want to buy a mountain bike and another engine kit simply to make it more durable and allow for a bit more off-road riding, so I've made some basic mods like adding a front brake (revolutionary! wow!) since it only had a coaster brake, swapping for off-road tires, making my own vibration padding for the engine mounts, and blacksmithing a third engine mount because it would lean on the axis with only two mounts. All this was practically for free! I got the front brake and off-road tires from a broken bike, I made the third engine mount from rebar, and I made the vibration padding out of rubber/foam flip flop soles and random foam. I'm considering buying a cheap $30 front fork with suspension just to give it at least a minimum level of shock absorption. Practically everything else is the same from the original beach cruiser, and I've been able to get along on trails quite nicely! Sure, I have to throw my body weight around and feather the clutch sometimes, but it's still remarkably fun on a cruiser. Let me know what you think :) Anyway, amazing videos!

About the comments made at about 15:40 concerning sprocket size, he states the smaller sprocket would be better because it would be easier on things like the chain and stuff and would keep it running cooler due to higher speeds. My thoughts are this is not true for a few reasons. The clutch is being ridden to crap because he cannot pedal so imagine taking off with the small sprocket? Some other people just don't feel like pedaling and ride that sucker for 30 seconds straight lol. The chain doesn't get an easier treatment either. Maybe if the sprocket were smaller on the front, then the chain would get more shock loads. The engine could also be working harder during lower speeds with the smaller rear sprocket as well, creating more heat in the engine and less air hitting the cooling fins. Just a few things that people should consider as fact when choosing that's all. Thanks for taking the time.

Running without a bike chain was a temporary thing for this bike (as clearly stated in the video), so using that as your argument is void... Trough ACTUAL testing I have found that motor temps are kept slightly lower with smaller sprockets, and fuel mileage increases greatly. All of this is dependent on riding conditions. If you live in town, or on hills I should not have to tell you that a small sprocket is a bad idea and vise versa
@stevesteve82643 жыл бұрын
@@LAHover that's why I stated clearly that some others use only the clutch and I also said "he cannot pedal". I'm just gonna say that we are agreeing on stuff here I only want to say what I've noticed and explain is all. I'm not trying to go against your experiences, just going by my own experiences during real driving observations. The fastest way to cool any engine is to produce some speed without bogging the engine out but not revving too much either. Too much throttle and/or bogging any engine especially an air cooled two stroke without enough speed (could happen on a harsh trail or uphill on a hot day) with a smaller sprocket in back, ridden by someone who doesn't know better, is quite heavy or doesn't want to pedal, or maybe cannot pedal for whatever the reason will heat that sucker up and fast, while eating up more gas and if used to compensate, clutch as well. A smaller rear sprocket will for sure ease up on the torque transferred to the spokes. Just sharing some stuff that I have noticed. Oh by the way, how did you measure engine 🌡️ with no water cooling, or anywhere to screw a 🌡️ gauge into the block? You must have carried a laser 🌡️ measuring rig. I own a step through circa 1950's bike. Anyone you've heard of motoring these type of steel bicycles around your area? I'd like to try this one but not sure if the frame design works. Anyways, SORRY for my essay I wrote here. Always be safe but make sure to be cool first and foremost ! ✌️🚴🌼🇨🇦

Thank you, man, I am currently breaking in my Paxmor 80 cc buiold and i used a Huffy Deluxe 26" cruiser frame and your videos to build it. It took me about 4 days and about 4-6 per day/ This includes a day to fix 4 stroking and 2 days in chain issues. It turned out great and I will continue to use your videos. I lhave lost 1 spoke, had to modify my breather cap in order to get the best chain action. Also, due to chain action, i had to buy Grade A bolts and nuts on the wheel sprocket bc the chinese stock ones stripped out and gave me a lot of problems. I live in Mississippi, so our weather is similar to yours. My top speed is 27 mph and my cruise mph is between 17 and 23, is this the usual speeds for an 80 cc build? And is it ok to run full throttle a lot?

I’ve got an older specialized mtb that I haven’t finished yet cuz the chain that came with it didn’t fit the sprocket and binds inside the clutch assembly which locks the back wheel. for anyone who has the problem where their wheel wont move and the chain is completely locked up, that’s why. you’ll need a new chain
@LAHover4 жыл бұрын
I have run into something like this once. The stock 410 chain would not fit my 56t sprocket, but the 415H chain would. Also make sure your chain is not binding up in the motor. If it is you may need to take out a link / tighten the chain. Loses chain will cause big problems.

@ObamaoZedong2 жыл бұрын
Something is severely wrong in that case. Perhaps a fuel leak, improper tuning, vacuum leak, exhaust leak, low compression, improper valve clearance, or most likely a combination. An 80cc motorbike should be getting well over 100 miles per gallon.

@@ObamaoZedong The engine is totally fine, it has a fresh top end. The carb is well tuned, perfectly smooth from idle to 13000rpm and it pulls hard when it gets on the pipe at around 8000rpm. 6th gear wheelies, not a problem. It's a street legal 80cc 2 stroke dirt bike from the mid 1980's with a very short final drive ratio, making nearly 20hp bone stock. I honestly think 100 miles to the gallon on that thing would be nearly impossible.
