Pit bike kick start stuck 160cc stomp Chinese dirt bike, pit-bike engine timing.

We investigate a customers bike because the kickstart is seized. First we check and set the timing.

[@Daniel-or5fx]

Good information video mate :). I Can’t help but wonder why you tried to kick start the bike even though it wouldn’t do a full crank revolution by hand ?.

[@motorcyclefixer]

Sometimes when you turn it by hand you can't get it past the compression. I didn't kick it, I just wanted to rotate it with the kickstart.

[@chrisbikes8702]

Yet another great video. Keep up the good work.

[@thizzfox]

Bro these things are notorious for kicking back and cracking the case

I've got a 155z m2r 160cc engine in my pitbike, giving off a rattle, sounds like timing chain to me, still runs sweet, but I don't like the rattle, so with this video, il be having a go at replacing my timing chain.. Wish me luck lol

[@motorcyclefixer]

Good luck 🤞👍🏼 Check the chain tensioner first. If it's that you won't have to strip it down

[@jimnyoff-road3756]

@@motorcyclefixer Yh OK sound, I will check it It's just a jingly rattle, doing my head in, as its on the road, do don't want it letting me down on the lanes in middle nowhere.. I'd rather spend the money n have it right.. Thanks mate.. Good video.. 👌💪👍

@@motorcyclefixer hey man where is the timing chain adjuster please answer asap thanks I hit the sub button😀and it does not have the tensioner in the middle btw it is a 110

[@motorcyclefixer]

@@Eli-tg5xz on the 110 the tensioner will be spring loaded from the bottom of the engine There should be 2 bolts on the bottom, the one on the left has a pushrod and a spring above it that pushes on a lever behind the stator plate

2:50 I need to buy the flywheel puller but im unsure what size it is. I have 24mm and 27mm to choose from

[@motorcyclefixer]

Hi I'm sorry i can't remember the size and i don't have the flywheel to measure it any more If you measure the hole in the flywheel and add 2mm on for the depth of the threads that will give you the size you need Best regards M

I have a yx 140 simi and gears won't down lower than 3rd but will go in 3 an 4th . Tire is stuck, kick start is stuck so I can't start it. What can the the problem. The. Piston dose move and the fly wheel moves so it's not froze up . I'm lost . Cant find any rebuilds on simi only manual

[@motorcyclefixer]

It could be the gear change mechanism or it could be the gear change drum or one of the gears maybe stuck on a shaft inside the gearbox. Watch my other video on stuck gear change and try that first. If it's not that it's internal I'm afraid

[@georgestewart6744]

This happened to my bike but the cam bolts stripped off

[@IeuanParsons]

You sound welsh do you have a shop or anything because I have a stomp 160 with a jammed gearbox and I need someone to have a look at it and there’s no one in South Wales that can do it for me

[@motorcyclefixer]

Hi Yes the shop is in tredegar It's m & l motorcycles

[@christopherprice55]

Hi, just stripped top end on a stomp 140 can anyone help take the valve rocker arm out? There was two little looks like spring washers on one side of the arms. Can anyone tell me how they go back please Thanks

[@motorcyclefixer]

to take out the rocker arms you need to pull out the shaft from the head using a bolt into the end of the shaft. The threaded end of the shaft is the opposite side to the cam chain. you usually have to remove the block where the oil lines go to the head

[@jullenatlingskanal8621]

where can you find intake valves for lifan 160cc engine help

[@motorcyclefixer]

A pitbike dealer should be able to help you. Or you can see if someone is breaking one You may have to buy the whole head sometimes but they are cheap enough

[@jullenatlingskanal8621]

[@lindsaystandford9885]

Please reply , On my m2r yx160cc engine , is sounds like a little ball bearing is rolling around in the engine when idleing what could this be

[@motorcyclefixer]

It could be any one of a hundred different things. You'll need to isolate the problem. Start taking the casings off and checking everything. Sorry it's not very helpful but it's hard to diagnose a problem without seeing it

[@kgmxtraining250]

Could be your valves tapping if the timing is off. If its half a tooth then your chain might be stretched.

[@davidwillis5016]

Maybe it's a little ball bearing rolling around in there?

[@Firemandave911]

How do you know the cam wasn't 180 out when you put the 2 bolts back in???

[@motorcyclefixer]

Make sure that when you bolt it on, the cam lobes are facing away from the valves. And not compressing them

[@magicdashcams506]

Because the valve springs hold the valves in the closed position?

[@motorcyclefixer]

@@magicdashcams506 yes

Yes normally it's ok Just make sure you've got the chain tensioned when you check it. If it causes problems I would change the cam chain
