Trail Riding Tips For Motorized Bikes

[@liamearnest315]

This is how I know you don't click bait, You literally got attacked by a Hog, and yet the title is still called Trail riding tips. Thanks

[@dyf-1ry]

Yes😂😂😂

[@davidcopple8071]

Not distasteful at all. I'm an avid airgun hunter and what you did for that hog was very human and necessary. Had your dog not found it. No telling how long it would have suffered before dying from its injuries. You did it a service. Thank you.

[@savagegtalks5912]

I don't think people outside mericas like myself, understand the hog problem you guys is having over there and have had for some time if I remember correctly.

[@williamolsen20]

It is a shame because I think this problem has to do with the carelessness of the factory farm system, and also idiots that get pet pigs then realize they are more work than they thought and just let them go. Not to mention all the toxic waste that factory farms produce that end up in ground water etc.. I feel for the hog, but it is either you or him, and it probably did end its suffering.

[@ddoormatt4834]

You made the right choice. It's hard but you did it.

[@CBExcursions]

Love your videos ! Very well produced and intelligently narrated ! I'm a 68 yr old teenager and I built a rescued $22 Schwinn beach cruiser a couple of months ago just for fun and it's really fun! Had a little problem the other day riding the neighborhood, engine started to race then just cut out completely. Long story short, after checking everything electrical to no avail, I took apart the carb and the brass stem that holds the jet had vibrated out and was laying loose in the float bowl ! Put it all back together and it nows purrs like a kitty ! Much better than before, always had shaky low RPM's, must have been loose all along ! I never thought I'd find that ! Something to consider for those having similar trouble ! Keep up the great effort, you'll have 50,000 followers soon !

I do this same thing on the back roads of Montana. I also started running a bigger sprocket to get up the mountains better. I have seen bears, even grizzly bears, and always carry bear spray. I have done 40 mile rides through the mountains, some of the most wild country in Montana, and one 100 mile ride around a resevoir. Next summer I plan to youtube some of my rides.

Your Vids just gets better and better. Need to see more of your lady on the Trails with you.

[@HighTreason610]

The part about the load trails put on your motor and running it rich is one of the reasons I find your channel more interesting than the many who aim for maximum road speed, because I'm in a similar position but for different reasons. Whilst I prefer to pedal a century old roadster on trails (you talk about underestimating what a bike can do, people forget most roads weren't paved when those were made), I do have to tweak the motorized bike similarly to you because whilst that one is only used on the streets, it gets used to pull trailers around (can't afford a car), leaving it rich is the only way to stop it melting. That knocking noise is peculiar indeed, here's hoping you get to the bottom of it. If you can't make it go away, try a stock air filter, this seemed to shut the noise up slightly on my YD100 at least when nothing else seemed to work. It probably is worth noting that elevation here is low though (mostly below sea level), so the air is oxygen rich and causes things to run a little hotter, exacerbating such problems, it may well just be the plug as you say in your case. On knowing when to give the motor a rest, you probably find the same as I do, that when you've got a feel for your engine, you can stop looking at the clock and feel when it's time to shut it off for a while, there's like a brief moment where it gets a tiny bit more power before feeling 'mushy' and sluggish if you keep pushing it, the exhaust takes on a different odor too. You did the right thing with the hog, it wasn't going to come back from that condition and could have been limping around out there for days otherwise, plus you had to defend yourself as, injured or not, there's no telling what could have happened to you or your dog if you didn't dispatch it. The world's a brutal place, sometimes you simply have to act without hesitation.

[@grahambate3384]

Try adding a little castor oil in ur mix. Good for high temperature. We use in RC planes. Seen some 2-stroke oil for go-karts have a bit castor in it

That was a pretty good ride vid,and allot of good tips.I use grease in my bucking bar,the ball bearing too.I didn't pay attention to the hours I'd ridden one week,and got ready for a distance run.I pulled the bar out using a magnet so the ball always comes out too.I had a sliver of a disc and no ball come out.It was lucky I'd ordered a kit for a spare.Now every 4 tanks of fuel it all gets checked,instead of monthly.

[@johndawd4616]

RIP for that brave hog. Damn the one who hurt the wild animal, probably you where there for a reason, poor guy would've been through so much agony due to his crushed behind and it might took him several days, stupid people might think animals are stupid but in reality they are not, i hope that it was not done on purpose, but the little warrior kept fighting tell last breath.

[@longjohn2155]

Amen.. He did the right thing. Wild animals are amazing, the things they can persevere through would make the average ATV riding teenager crap their pants until dead of dehydration. I'm a hunter, and taking the life of a majestic wild beast is never a joyful experience except in the sense of filling the freezer with the best, most healthy meat available.

[@_Belteshazzar_]

And either way it was a wild hog. They all need to die, they're invasive and cause millions of damage or more every year. You can't really go to any woods in the south without finding hog tracks through the whole thing. Especially in Texas and Florida.

Yo dude, I know exactly what you mean when talk about shifting your weight, I recently got into motorized bikes & I plan to save up for a $200 fairly reviewed product. Wish me luck guys. I'll try to keep y'all updated, my last bike recently got stolen & managed to get a $1000 bike for $200 bc I have my contracts, but it's a track bike mainly for marathons. I'm hoping with the combined lightweight frame & easy handling it's going a fun fast & cheap way to get around the area & work. :)

[@chuchein2760]

Love your videos man, I'm glad the yd100 is working for you, 91 octane took care of my knocking problems, that encounter with the hog woww it's crazy, all hogs go to heaven 😂😂

[@ZeldaNumber17]

The knocking sounds like pre detonation. Try some 91 octane if that doesn’t work. Try slapping a second base gasket on to lower the compression a little. Less compression helps longevity too.

[@LAHover]

Sounds like a good idea, I might try that if nothing else works. Thanks!

That woods is beautiful, what state are you in? I’m in northern Illinois about 50 minutes north west of Chicago and there aren’t many trails here. The Des Plains River Trail runs from the Illinois and Wisconsin border to Chicago and keeps going south but they don’t allow motorized vehicles and the few times I rode my gas bike on it there were tons of people on bikes and I wasn’t really able to go that fast.

Forgive me if I missed it in the vid... what is your general location? Those forests are beautiful! Here in Missouri, the underbrush is thriving with thorn bushes, thorned vines, HUGE weeds some of which also have spikes, spider webs upon spider webs, and lots of other brush which makes all unkept trails impossible to travel through. Nice tips btw, thanks!

[@LAHover]

I'm in Louisiana, and right now everything is exactly as you described Missouri lol. This ride was done in March, just before the under growth got out of hand. Right now I can't do much trail riding because of it, and the heat. Late Fall, Winter, and early Spring are the best times for me.

[@robbyclark6915]

Something very important. Always wear a backpack with all the necessary tools to fix your bike. Carry a spare CDI and spark plug (a common issue with motor bikes). Put a chain breaker, hammer, appropriate wrenches, screwdriver, pliers and zip ties in your bag. Also, put a spare tire tube and tire changing tools in your backpack. If you do this, you're going to be very grateful when you finally break down or get a flat tire. Happy riding!

Great video. That was the best you could do with a bore that was hurt & charging. Luck the dog didn't get hurt. Once a couple of my pitts had a rattler cornord. They were barking up a storm so I went over to see what was up. Some how they knew not to get bit. I was surprised that my male pitt didn't grab it. HE'S KILLED 3 SKUNKS BEFORE What a mess that is. He fears very little. I ended up killing the rattler. It was on the side of my house. Anyway your video reminded me of the rattler time. I've been playing with 4 stroke Briggs engines on the bikes. I been taking off the cooling shrouding around the engine just leaving on the main one with the pull starter to see if it will run with out it. So far so good. Mind you I live in the desert of So. Cal. I've been thinking about making a run from my place to Las Vegas. Old route 66 in the summer. I do have people to come get me if need be. I would have to come up with carrying a non fire arm.

I politely told him that no I don't need a license and insurance and that it's a motorized bike. And that before he started harassing people to read the law's. He asked if I had read them.

and- that's why you carry a gun. especially when out in the woods. an unarmed fellow would have probably hidden in a tree till the hog left. and never seen his dog again. also lately I've been thinking about doing one of those yd100 kits on a full suspension bike frame, with a jackshaft built in so that the motor drives a sprocket on the swingarm pivot, which drives another sprocket on the same shaft which drives the rear wheel to remove the variable of the chain binding up if the swingarm swings. never seen it done before, so I'd have to build it myself.

​@@johntaylorpelletier9349 You will want to grease the two gears under the clutch cover (don't get any grease on the clutch pads).

Hey have you tried the cnc hub attachment it save your bearings also running a rear tire up front helps keep the rims alive for the cheaper side of things due to the larger hubs hope this helps

[@greggory448]

Could you make Ram Air shrouds to force air towards the engine?

[@tsjuno]

How many miles do you think you can get on a tank? Do you carry extra fuel?

[@LAHover]

This set up 25-30... but on a 44t sprocket with 27.5" tires I got 45 miles on one stock tank. Here is the video if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6DWqaZ3lMp7mtE

Wd 40 is crap for chains. CRC white lithum spay, or Lucas red and tacky spray work great for chain. The penatrate when thin liquid out of the can, then the liquid evaporates in a couple min. leaving behind a nice thick layer of thick grease. Wd40 is thin, not much lubercation qualitys, and flys right off. When I worked for 20 years in a bicycle shop we used the CRC and LPS 3 also a good chain and cable lube.

Thanks for the heads up :)

I noticed your one piece cylinder has no fins on top. I have a 66cc China doll with a one piece with fins, and it gets a little hot. Does that one run hotter than your other ones with fins? One other thing, do you get unburned oil on your rear brakes? I use synthetic oil, and I was getting rear brake fade. I found out my rim was getting unburned oil on it. Just wondering if it's just from synthetic oil or if it's more common.

[@LAHover]

Ya she gets a good bit hotter than my pk80s. I'm going to see what can be done to cool it off in the future. Do you have rim or disk breaks? is the oil spray from your muffler or a gasket leak?

[@gregkellow4723]

I have rim brakes, and the oil is from the muffler. I am running 20:1 right now. I was just kinda trying to get an idea if using synthetic oil is causing it, or if it happens with regular oil too.

[@jonny6758]

how long to you use for break in I think I might of opened it up to soon on my 2 stroke

[@grid-1725]

I think you did a good dead to the hog it was probably suffering greatly

[@jesseeastwood]

we have a trail that goes like 40 miles some day im gonna bring a bunch of gas an extra chain and a few tools in case she breaks down and beat that trail. Last time i tried on a manuel bike i only made 25 miles and almost had a heat stroke

[@relaxingnature2617]

Do these motors produce any spare electric power that could run a cooling fan ?

[@ObamaoZedong]

No but you could use a friction dynamo that runs off of the wheel and power a tiny fan. How you'd mount the fan is another story. Probably best to just get a head with better cooling fins.

[@jarynparkes6312]

How can you spot a problem with the engine before something goes wrong

[@Bishop187mob]

When my bike gets hot it becomes hard to move the back wheel... where the motor and chain connect

[@LAHover]

Sorry I'm not sure what could cause that to only happen when the motor is hot. Be sure the bevel gears and bucking bar is greased. Try to tighten the clutch cable a bit, or losses the flower nut one notch.

[@Hunter1st]

What tooth sprocket and rim size do you use? I have a 44t and 29" rim and I am considering getting a 48 or something larger.

[@LAHover]

56t on 26" tires. Not good for street, but good for trails.

[@Hunter1st]

@@LAHover oh wow. thank you.

[@DavesCoolCustomBikes]

What does much trail riding issue do you have you ever considered on getting like an MB 200 Adult size minibike a lot more torque or speed and power for about this a little bit more than what you got in the bike already matter fact maybe even cheaper if you can find them on Facebook all the time for around 250 to 300 bucks

[@synthiccl]

this is gonna be a great video!! "0:47" *oh*

[@bikeking5259]

My engine sized the crank first day I bought it any suggestions

[@LAHover]

Open It up and make a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qpfn-HZsZrodk
