Now it's time for a 4 wheel drive unit, Thanks Again for the great content Joey From Statesville NC

[@Promethesis]

Awesome build, by a skilled fabricator!

[@thegarageinventor1735]

One of the most well made awesome things i have seen, well done!

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

Paint job looks great. Cant wait to see it offroad

[@ToughLuckDumbFuck]

Yes that was clutch slip, you need to down shift. Don’t make it so hard on the clutch to try and pull in the higher gears down low. That’s what the gears are there for, rev it out, don’t try and sit in 4th at low speeds and then plant your foot down. Either way it’ll probably need to be replaced in the near future.

[@tstricklin853]

Good advice, definitely gonna need a clutch before any real off roading

[@nanelimon7921]

Bokgibi olmuş

[@jeremyrock7446]

Phat_And_Fast absolutely correct it’s way worse to lug the engine than to rev it high.

That GS500 dune buggy is bad ass,wish it was mine :-)

Been following your channel for some time and congrats buddy, nice ride there, with some little fine tunning and like other people said, gear down man, don't stress the clutch so much 😉 awesome buggy Now it's time for a dirt track! 😁

[@dirtbikeguy9422]

Man I need to get me one lol that thing is sick af also shout out from Canada 🇨🇦

[@cdmalton1806]

Dude that's awesome! What a blast it must be! It looks just like you live in Western NC.

[@mouseinthefalls7836]

Sittin here on my bed listening to the sound of the motor and starting to fall a sleep as it sounds good.

[@chrrtz_builds2018]

Hey Chris how wide is the buggy. I am looking to build a similar one and I'd like some info. I am going to use a z750 though.

[@meganfitzgerald651]

Nice, looks like a blast

[@lorin4]

Such an awesome build! Hope to see more content like this on your channel! Some mudguards would be usefull and will look cool i think... like the ones that steer with the whell..idk lmao Keep it up man!

Try some drifting on the wet road. :O) Love the project, must be a great bunch of joy having all that hard work come to fruition.

Increase the cooling air flow, it will better for the engine when driving low speeds

[@spinyuk]

awesome stuff :D

awesome! Finally! Also, sounds like you need a new clutch =/

[@ing.brandonlopez7972]

I'm from México and I love your videos, I wish to make a motorcycle some day.

[@iainohalloran42]

What happened to the big front end suspension I only saw the back ones great buggy and video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sinfulf4i]

man wring that things neck that motor makes max power way up in the rev range like 9500 and max tq is 7500 red line is at 10.5K crusing rpm running down the road at speed on the bike was 4800 to 5600 in any gear so rev it up it will hit the rev limiter built into the ignition box you cant over rev it it cuts ignition. when you hit rev limit not saying bouce the motor off rev limiter all the time. its a high rev engine it likes to run there let it

[@durangojohn714]

You went around 48 to 53 mph , keep up the amazing build

[@thedude5043]

Such an epic build. Get some road wheels for it! :D!

[@Mikey-hd7vw]

That sounds bad ass :)

[@potatorocko]

Motorcycles have high rev ranges so you need to make sure you don't let the engine run at low revs or you will have no power. I think the Suzuki GS500 twin will rev up to 10,000 RPM.

[@Ratkill9000]

11,000 rpm is redline. Max torque is made at around 7,500, max horsepower is made at 9,500. So yeah he has plenty of room to work with. He should install a tachometer and mount it on the dash so he knows where the engine is running at.

[@philtripe]

@@iwasnevahere8784 and whats it feel like at ten thousand rpm? that thing is screaming "shift you moron"

[@juniormesck1615]

very good!

[@Bernie7500]

You are a little genius ! :)

[@henrik3474]

You need to let the engine rev before you shift to the next gear. Rev that engine it loves to be reved high

[@waymoresoutlaw195]

I agree, that engine is made for a higher rpm range!

[@philtripe]

@@waymoresoutlaw195 you know its just a parallel twin right? those motors are all about torque and sure, Suzuki claims it will hit 9500 rpm but they like to be around the 6500 mark and he is driving around his neighborhood so he also trying not to be a jerk

[@waymoresoutlaw195]

@@philtripe I know , but it's not an engine that is made to lugg around. But he did an amazing job and I'll definitely give him props for that! But you are right, he has to live there .....

[@grantadamson3478]

@@philtripe Correct.

[@matthewf1979]

Need those tires balanced Chris! The tires should have marks on them indicating the heaviest spot, mount that 180* of your valve stems. It might help

[@late9462]

make some aluminium fairings to that and windshiwld etc

[@4bangerlove]

Before you mentioned it sputtering it did sound a little labored at part throttle. Could be fuel or maybe valve lash

[@chrisssmallengines3456]

Fenders over the wheels and fix the wheel center and you have a very nice buggy.

[@michaelsmith2380]

you probably wont see this comment, but i figured ide say it anyways. if you put 80's model gs450 cams in it, it will help your mid range torque tremendously. especially considering the weight of the buggy and the way you like to shift. its got a 11,500 RPM redline and it sounds like you've only ever hit 8k once or twice. i had a 1985 gs450L, it was a cruiser, and had a 99 gs500 parts bike, and after swapping all the electronics it was bad ass, for what it was. but i regretted putting the gs 500 cams in. it killed all the midrange torque and made the powerband feel like a rubber band. if it wasn't screaming it didn't have any power. i went back to to the 450 cams with the cam cam gears. and it was faithful as could be and had the power it needed at the RPM i was happier spinning the motor. not tryn to be up in ya bizzness. just thought ide give ya a little helpful knowledge.

[@tc7362]

Dude that's some nice toys hiding under tarps may I suggest a cargo container you topped out at 52 sweet video....

Nice driving.

Did you ever change the CDI box?

[@deancavander]

You need side view and rearview mirrors. Probably not required but just for convenience and we are used to having it on cars.

[@dustinmiller7278]

Remember this ever tooth on the front = 2 on rear from 12 to 14 was like butting a rear gear with 4 less teeth

[@jamesstuartflorida1272]

[@Brandon-wd9si]

Sounds like your shifting way to early and did you check tire pressure before that drive. Should be higher rpm before you shift

[@dew.adventures6712]

Yeah that's what I was thinking... That motor likes a higher RPM

[@eranliber5993]

Not necesarily. Some engines have their sweet spot at low rpm's (even if its mainly regarded to larger number of cylinders).

[@rsdna9698]

@@eranliber5993 That engine will turn 11k rpm's he's only running it up to maybe 6k...

[@eranliber5993]

@@rsdna9698 might be. I cant tell. I didnt catch too much spec on the engine. But yeah its possible

[@rsdna9698]

@@eranliber5993 The title says it's a GS500 motorcycle engine, 11k rpm's is pretty standard. Plus it's easy to tell from the sound he isn't even coming close to what it should sound like.

Changing the front sprocket one is equivalent to 3 or 4 teeth in the rear

[@westernaussiefarmer7371]

7:31 that grunt that he makes because he almost stalled the engine by sitting in 3rd gear and going from a standstill

You should put fenders on it to give it that Nomad look

[@BackyardGarage999]

I wonder what song do you listen that much!

[@ronaldseabury734]

You might be having a fuel delivery issue or the carbs need to be synced if it's sputtering at wide open throttle the main jets are either clogged or it's not getting enough fuel
