Second Test Drive on the CBR 1000 Off Road Buggy

[@EnlightenedSavage]

I'm telling you, just like I said last time that bike isn't running right. I don't know if the timing is off or the firing order is wrong. Something's not right. Been around bikes my whole life. Used to race them for a short while. That is not what an inline four it's supposed to sound like. Do yourself a favor and get an official repair manual. You can find copies on eBay for like five bucks. Check the easy stuff first like timing and firing order. Then check to see what else could be wrong with the ignition system.

[@nautilus9008]

Im thinking the same thing. That sounds like a "v" engine more than a high reving street bike

[@All_SportGG]

Yep something isn't right it sounds like the ninja 650 buggy he has which is an inline 2

[@bradenwuesthoff5639]

ya that 1000 should be SCREAMING! more than enough power for that chassis.

[@coletitterington2157]

You also have to remember it has 2 cylinders per exhaust. So what you're hearing is right. If all 4 we're together like on the bike than it would sound like you're used to. Any 2 cylinder bike sounds exactly like that.

[@cinnamonrollypoly]

I'm going to parrot everyone else here and say the same thing: I would first make suspension adjustments, and then get the engine to run on all cylinders. I love this project, though. With some refinement, this machine has the potential to be a beast! Keep up the good work!

[@mdnovaman]

100%. The rebound on the rear shocks is too fast so it’s kicking the back up too quickly. If it’s not adjustable you may be able to put heavier weight oil in there. Some sway bars. And get higher up in the Rev range so when you stomp on the throttle on the lip of the jump. It’s more in the power band of that engine. Brilliant little project though. It may suit some larger wheels better too.

[@kartguy]

@@mdnovaman I was going to say same thing them rear shocks are causing it to fling up in the rear, that's all I can think it would be.

[@aserta]

Doesn't sound right tho. Do a compression test and a spark removal test to see of things are copacetic in that respect, finally, triple check the firing order. Something's wrong. Edit: because maybe i'm not clear in the explanation, the spark removal test is the usual stuff, you remove a coil at a time with the engine running, as you know, BUT, there's one other thing you need to do, which is swapping the bad coil around, because there's that issue too. One other thing i'd check, how much ohms you're getting on your coils. Most JP bikes should be around 0.31~-0.33, the owner's manual should have the specific coil ohm value.

[@scootypuffjr.]

If he's not running an equal length 4 into 1 exhaust it will never sound right.

[@3amForge]

With a buggy like that and a jump like that you need to go slower into the jump and hammer down as your about to hit it like your buddy said but keep it pinned till you touch back down. Preloading the shocks and using the enirsha from the tires spinning to pull the back end down. I used to race dirt bikes when I was a kid and you had to work breaks and gas when in the air from hitting a jump depending on the way you hit it. I would think the concept would be the same.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

Chris, listen to your buddy about how to jump, he’s right. Give it gas before you hit the jump and keep the power on until after you land, not before. Looks fun!

[@Crewsy]

Sure. Keep revving while in the air and see what breaks from unloading the rear tires or the snap when the tires make contact again. 🤦‍♂️

[@kasuraga]

@@Crewsy You don't get it. You don't keep it pinned to the limiter, you feather the throttle just enough that the wheels keep spinning at the same speed or higher. That way the inertia from the wheels aren't trying to nose dive it like it does when you lift off the gas as soon as you get airborne.

[@Nevertrustalawyer]

@@Crewsy I can tell you don’t know how to drive. Watch a motocross rider when he jumps. You can adjust the “attitude” of the bike while in the air. If you want the front end to go down, you hit the back brake. If you want the front to rise, you hit the throttle. Watch a snow cross race, they do the same thing.

[@Crewsy]

@@Nevertrustalawyer Don’t forget. It’s Chris that’s “driving” the buggy. The problem with that “jump” is that it’s too small and the front wheels are dropping off just as the back wheels kick up. If Chris does what all the “experts” are telling him he will over rev and snap something, most likely one of the 4 drive chains as soon as a rear tire touches down.

Chris, this buggy is absolutely amazing. The jumping attitude is easily fixed with 2 things. 1 - preload. Look at a side shot of the floor pan when you're sitting in it. It is still raked down in the front. Take a little bit of preload off the rear and add a bunch to the front. You want the buggy to at least sit flat, or even up a half inch to an inch when fully loaded with driver. The second thing is just throttle control. Roll up to the jump slow and then whack the throttle like you're trying to do a wheelie. You dont have to hit it with a ton of speed if you're not comfortable. Go slow and get used to driving the nose up with the throttle. Sway bars will make a huge difference on this buggy for cornering/handling. I really dont think stiffening the shocks will have the result you're looking for. It'll just be bouncy and harsh. That thing looks like it handles the terrain amazing with the spring rates you have. It just needs a little help to stay flat and sway bars make a world of difference while not giving up bump / jump capability. Sway bar thickness will be trial and error but I can tell you that you're going to want to be a little thicker in the rear than the front based on the weight bias of your chassis layout. This thing is so sick man. Awesome job!

[@albertjenkins8121]

I would play with tuning the suspension a lil bit harder and maybe some limit straps on before putting sway bars and that sorts of stuff on it and it definitely has a miss of sorts from what I could hear. Other than that looks like a whole lotta fun!

[@vinnyvega1985]

So first off, awesome job fixing the shifting and gearing. Seems to be perfect for its application. Never doubted you’d get it figured out. Second, as you and everyone else noticed, it was misfiring a lot (although it seemed a little better near the end of the video) . It seemed to be doing it under load. Start with the plugs. I’d clean and re-gap them or replace them, just to start. Then I’d check your resistance values of the coils to see if they are up to snuff. After that, I’d start with faults in the wiring. If it persists, there could potentially be a malfunctioning sensor. Once fixed, this thing will feel so much faster in the higher RPM range. Third, the jump. Personally I feel like that front suspension needs to stiffened up a bit. As it sits, it seems like the front just absorbs the jump, while the back (already preloaded from the weight transfer) is stiffer therefore less absorption and more launch. You’ll have way more confidence in jumping it once you can make it level out, trust me lol As always, love the content and admire your skill. 🤟🏻

Chris.. You can adjust the "touchyness" of your throttle by hooking up the cable closer to the pivot point on the pedal.. It will cause your pedal to have a lot more travel and it won't be so sensitive.

Stay in the throttle through the jump. The wheels accelerating helps pitch the nose up. I learned that from watching Ken and Travis.

it seems a lot more power than last time its awesome :)

love this thing sounds like it is not getting enough air or fule though

First off, this thing is sick. +1 on the sway bar. Thats just the nature of trailing arm suspension, very body rolly. In addition to just tuning compression and rebound, if you're able to put the front shocks at more of an angle, it'll help with body roll. (Look at can am x3s). It would change your travel and spring rate tho. Keep tweaking things and it'll be a monster.

The rear valving in the shocks need to be stiffer. On the compression and rebound. Also needs a brake proportioning valve to add more pressure to the rear, or figure out why the rear isn't helping stop.

[@jeep2003]

make a heel stop to help steady the throttle and stiffen the front shocks to help on jumps and sway. id lower the seat down and back before raising the roof

[@mattcain3262]

There is a ton of body roll! I agree on the sway bars. Definitely make sure to get one in the back where the majority of the weight is located. Also, see if you can get some weight down lower. Maybe move the fuel cell behind the seat if there is room. Sweet project though! Keep up the great work and content.

I'm definitely put a sway bar on it get a 5-point harness for safety belt be careful kid don't want to see anything happening to you. You're a great fabricator keep up the great videos much respect to you and your channel.........

Great job Chris, engine problems aside, you need to treat this machine like the beast that it can be, not the kitty that you make it look and sound like. I believe the word we're looking for is lead foot.
