Will $200 Temu Engine Fix My Yamaha Dirt Bike?

[@themotorhino1331]

This channel definitely deserves more subs. Jealous of the Porsche camper.

[@RadFactoryGav]

Thank you!!

[@maneotis4g63t]

That’s what I’m saying dude!

[@OceanusSeafreeze]

A $40 nibbi carb with the 38mm intake will open that power up a lot. I had this motor in an Enduro and that made a huge difference.

[@RadFactoryGav]

No way, we will definitely have to try that

[@whattheelijah]

38mm? as in the carbs intake side? these engines are like good for 19mm to 24-26mm max iirc anything more than that and you need to consider working the head so everything flows nicely

[@OceanusSeafreeze]

@whattheelijah It was 32mm. And whatever the magic is they thump louder and faster. The factory carb on this motor is detuned to comply with modern emissions. You could put a p22 but when I did it only helped a little. The bigger one made a bigger difference for whatever reason.

[@whattheelijah]

@@OceanusSeafreeze amazing, i got myself a cheap PWK clone for about the same price, the air intake is 50mm and to the engine its 28mm, dunno if it's too much for a little 110cc, might do some work on the manifold

[@kriswhite9324]

@@RadFactoryGav also make sure to make a exhaust system that has a power bomb (fmf are known to use those for their exhaust systems) and get a decent fmf muffler for it as curious to see how quiet that engine can get with a 250cc fmf exhaust as I have the 140 version of that engine by a company called thumpstar and they are called the YX-R which they have a z40 race cam in them and the engines really pick up with a 26mm carb which is always nice and also been watching since the start of the porsche-up truck much love from australia :)

[@99Slowbruhh]

So cool to see the dirt bike finally getting brought back to life!!

[@sk8klown88]

It was awesome to be there hanging out when you got this thing running! Hope this channel blows up, you guys deserve it.

[@RadFactoryGav]

Thanks man! It was cool to have you over!

[@AgatasKatkus]

You guys need to add bigger jets to the carb or drill out the jets currently in it. At Denver’s altitude it’s probably running pretty lean. You would have a better throttle response and gain some power. As someone who used to live in Denver and rode carbureted bikes around I highly recommend it. 🤘🤙

[@RadFactoryGav]

Hell ya we will look into it

[@RobertHatfull-df4ch]

I had a kx with a blown up engine and a crash damaged 125 honda innova I measured up and cut the mount from the innova ,cut the frame to clear the engine and reversed the cut frame to restore strength I deleted the electric start and used the loom from the innova I had some problems with the rear sprocket but used a smaller one to suit the engine and made a hybrid kick starter and brake pedal due to clearance it worked quite well and only cost me bout £40 allin but I recouped a lot back selling the unused parts from both bikes on Ebay.

[@SidewaySensation]

Love the humor from both of you. Nice clean build. Keep the coming 🎉

[@RadFactoryGav]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Your missing out on a huge opportunity. I could have missed it, but you never mentioned the size of this engine, or the price. Why dont you include an affiliate link to buy this engine? Youd get 5-10% for the sale & while you wont sell hundreds, surely a couple dozen isnt unrealistic. Or you could contact go power sports or another sponsor to work a deal out for a free engine in return for promoting it. Work smarter AND harder.

[@RadFactoryGav]

😂 that is actually a really great idea

[@BentonL]

Its usually 2% but otherwise I totally agree.

[@PkwyDrive13]

Because it’s temu…everybody knows that company is shady as hell and posting affiliate links for them probably does more harm than good 😂

[@physicsman2477]

It's obviously a 125cc motor.

[@mondude9754]

@physicsman2477110s look exactly the same but yeah it’s definitely no less than 110

[@aski1529]

I would definetily change the factory oil as soon as possible

[@lect0n7]

He’s have been better off to have bought a Yamaha KT100 SprintKart motor, and he’d have essentially built an RT100 with modern rear suspension, what I wanted when I was 8 years-old

[@RadFactoryGav]

@@Turbohonda428every now and again I get a good idea 😂

[@TheLooneysGarage]

I think it's cool, but if it were me, I would rebuild the TTR125 engine because it has a clutch, while the current one does not.

[@RadFactoryGav]

If it were for us we probably would but it is definitely better for Laylaa without the clutch

[@tylarpratt6439]

6 pin on engine is to show what gear your in if u install gauge

[@RadFactoryGav]

Ahhhhh we fortunately we don’t need to that

[@phat-kid]

you needed a knockoff yamaha engine but those knockoff honda engines like the one you got are amazing. maybe an upgrade.

[@SirDrakeNewcanon]

You can say anything but these Chinese Honda clone engines are pretty good!

[@Kraxt0n]

Ive had (ALOT) around 8 pit bikes, with these sideways engines. be careful "revving" and kicking that in gear, or youll find yourself tearing apart the bottom half to swap out 2nd gear (or just swapping a good bottom half into a non busted casing). *yea, took 2 and made 1 good one a few times around*. if you want more "umph" change the rear sprocket.

[@RadFactoryGav]

All fantastic advice

[@somagraphics]

It's criminal how few subs you have. Especially after the porsche.

[@benstrait333]

Next episode: watch while we put a Temu turbo on the Temu 2-cycle🤣

[@RadFactoryGav]

Heck yes we should

[@ANDROID204]

It's a Honda clone, these engines were engineered by Honda in the 70s and 80s

[@RadFactoryGav]

Hopefully it works as good long term!

[@farrahlyn]

Buy the right frame shish

[@vancemacd6315]

For. 200 dollar engine from temu, I'm impressed. I'm sure an after market carb would let that thang breath better.

Change sprockets to suit dirt ride rather than street economy that engine is geared for

Put that motor on the smaller bike, and it would have more power to weight ratio.

stay rad, bros

[@RadFactoryGav]

Stay rad!! 🤘

[@JTL-DK]

Fun Fact... You can get that motor with the starter at the buttom instead of at the top of the motor, so the carb is turning backwards instead of forward, so it would have fit so much better... maybe you should have bought that version instead ;-)

[@markdove5930]

Why is a guy with a wife wearing pink? Im confused 😂

[@The.Rad.Factory]

[@AboxofMonsters]

You need a smaller sprocket on the back and you need a quality gel battery if you don’t have kickstart those standard batteries will let you down .

[@dragonsoul5212]

You can flip the shifter to make it closer

[@dragonsoul5212]

Or favricate a shifter with link

[@RadFactoryGav]

It would need some sort of link for sure. The actual effort required to shift is nuts. We did fix it in the next video though

[@lawrenceayres9377]

😁 coming soon

[@henkneijer77]

why didn't you exchange the engine and order a stationary one a few weeks after you failed to film the video for the third time. no, of course you have to completely screw up the good Yamaha frame. really stupid. what can you say, really Hilly Billy... and total botch! and why shouldn't this new engine work? it's a Chinese standard engine that has been used billions of times in China for ages. besides, 4-stroke dirt bikes are boring. in the field only 2-stroke engines with bite...

C-clamps are always the best way to connect electrical wires 😂

[@The.Rad.Factory]

Indeed 😊

[@jimmieftw]

Nice video guys, new to the channel! =) I've done the same a couple of years ago, I bought a cheap lifan 125cc manual. If you want to ride with more power, you should look for YX 150cc or Daytona 150cc, Lifan 150cc. I dont know the brand of that engine but my guess is like "loncin" and they are pretty slow, but they work for years and perfect for the kids. Right now I'm working on a daytona 115cc manual and it's rly strong. Maybe worth with that good Yamaha bike you guys have. //Sweden

[@RadFactoryGav]

That is so rad! And it’s more of a kids set up for sure but that is kinda perfect honestly
