[@Zomby_Woof]

A proper dirt bike - hell, an old on/off road bike like the TS125 or xl125 is so much more capable that the places it would get stuck you'd never have to worry about pushing his bike through because you'd never get there to be stuck. You could ride it t the trailhead, get to the trees - turn around to get a chainsaw, come back and clear the trail, and ride to the end and take a nap while waiting for the YD to show up. I'm not saying its not worth building and riding - just that it has to be done for fun = because you like wrenching and screwing around. It's never going to be better than the vehicles it long ago evolved into.

Maaaann this is torture lol my bike blew up yesterday and now I got recommended this. The piston's wristpin snapped a piece off and sent a piece of metal into the cylinder. Needless to say the whole top end is toast lol. I need to take apart the rest of the engine to see if the crankcase and bearing are still usable and if it is I'll be repairing the whole thing and hopefully get back to zooming around my neighborhood. I out brake lights, blinkers, a horn, a low idle switch, and a bbq igniter for FLAMES BABY and just when everything was working perfectly, the bike gave up haha.

[@dab-pre-ss-ionaustin1986]

[@Andrew-my1cp]

@@dab-pre-ss-ionaustin1986 You don't know jack about what I did I take it? It blew up from a circlip failure. I just got done rebuilding the engine a few minutes ago and I'm heading to the hardware store to buy hardware to mount it back on the bike. I'm buying the G style clip circlips but have the 2 pronged ones in right now. They are very sketchy. Buy G clip and you're fine.

[@dmoore0079]

I had a hell of a time trying to get a good tune on the stock NT type slide carbs. I ended up drilling and threading a pulse port and installing a diaphragm type carb (Walbro clone, I think). Not only did it make my motor run better through the range, but it gained a fair amount of power as well. Ditching the stock pipe and installing a modified pocket bike pipe helped quite a bit too (has a slight expansion and a very breathable muffler)

[@sundial6919]

Glad i saw your post , i keep thinking same thing , do you remember walbro # or which saw it was on ? I would like to use the walbro hd12b as used on the husqvarna 372xp , 71cc chainsaw . Also how did you couple the carb to motor and where did you drill pulse port ? Wish i could see pictures ! The beauty of this carb is the metering screws for low and hi speed rpm's that precisely tunes fuel an air mix and easily adjusted for days of hi humidity or low humidity as humidity conditions change the tune , as well as temp . Also the diaphram carbs very sensitive to motor heat and on the saws have rubber or plastic intake manifolds . So glad to hear this !

[@dmoore0079]

@@sundial6919 Sorry for the late reply. I'm using a Husqvarna 372XP carb mounted on an OZ reed valve (vertical threaded holes on the intake plate have a 31mm spread, which matches the carb perfectly. This mounts the carb right up to the intake tube). I just drilled a 1/8" hole into the crankcase, and pressed a small section of 1/8" OD aluminum tubing as a hose barb. There was some minor fabrication involved in getting a cable throttle connected, but it's been a great setup so far - especially once I converted the bottom end to case reed!

Great info. I'm having the same sort of issues with my rear tire setup. The massive Kenda rear tire that I'm running comes close to BOTH chains, and the rear bearings/axle setup. My front crank needed tightening and so did my triple tree as it backed off considerably. But on the plus side I've got my GPS & custom ebay stereo ready for install and test run!

[@LAHover]

Right on

[@historichomestead]

It's the solid head mixed with being high compression. I have seen lots of the one piece heads pop spark plugs out. Run them glowing red hot, and foul them out due to excessive heating. If you are going to run a 100cc kit it's best to get a cylinder with a separate head.

[@poochee2010]

Good ride be carful watch out for snakes, check for snakes and makes sure your bearings are not to loose or to tight, which can cause the bearings to cut deep inside the axle or clean through it because it happen to me two time and I have to buy another axle and do all the spokes.

[@danielcline7413]

Try following the formula that's been around since the 70s make your lead in pipe to the expansion chamber 8 to 11 times in length the diameter of your exhaust port meaning that your expansion chamber should for sure be less than 10inches from your motor look up the two strokers bible if you wish but following this formula will give you incredible gains in low and mid power cooler running and better fuel mileage!

Hi what should I do if my chain keeps snapping and breaking or falling off the sprocket every 2 miles

[@eagle-ik3rw]

Making sure the chain is true from the motor to the rear sprocket and the chain tensioner agrees with that line. Took me several times to find that perfect alignment. Had to slightly adjust the motor to make sure the chain was level and true. I made a line tool with a piece of an old tape measure that was stiff enough to lay on top of the chain to make a straight line. Also checked the link to make sure it was secure . Had to adjust the level of the chain tensioner so the chain would ride flat in the center.

[@sixwhip14]

My YD 100. Didn't make it 100 miles. The little pin that is supposed to keep the piston ring from moving came out of it's hole and scored up the piston and cylinder. The bike just quit as I went down the road. Just got my new jug and piston to replace it.

[@sixwhip14]

Actually it was one of the round clips that hold the piston against the connecting rod. Don't reuse those clips. I took them out to turn the piston around.

What oil do you use

[@danielcline7413]

Consider switching to a disc brake rear wheel using the brake disc holes to mount your sprocket to this eliminates all the spoke torsion from the thru spoke mounting system the results your wheel stays straight and your sprocket runs true!

[@johngoodin3445]

I like that it’s fairly quiet once the motor gets warmed up. You Mentioned some start up issues from time to time. Have you ever thought about adding a pull start as an optional way to start the engine? Didn’t hear a lot of gear noises. As far as noise itself goes I’ve heard about putting cardboard inside the gearbox. Maybe you might look into putting some sort of splash guards in front. If they can be made out of a sound deadening it might help make the bike More stealthy. Is there anything you can wrap around the downpipe to help reduce noise and vibrations? Regular car engines have Rubberized motor mounts. Would putting something like a piece of inter tube under the motor mounts do the same? Maybe if you wrap the entire down tube in rubber might reduce noise and vibrations even further.

Sadly I was unable to make the trip home and had to be picked up by my uncle for various reasons one being that Google maps drained my phone two times just getting there causing my battery bank to not have enough battery to last me for my trip back meaning I would have probably ended up in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone and no idea how to get back.

Make sure you don't see any oil build up around any of the gaskets that might be causing a loss of compression. Also make sure your choke is not vibrating on, allot of the carbs have lose chokes. It might not hurt to take the carb off and give it a clean, they are known to have junk in them from the factory. Don't worry they are super simple and can be cleaned in less than 10 minutes.

Best thing about nowadays is cameras for sure. When I was a kid I remember getting messed with by people like that all the time. There were abandoned railroad tracks near my house that people drove dirt bikes on. They took the tracks out 15-20 years before I started riding there. People would call the cops all the time which was super annoying because we weren’t bothering anyone but the “Karen’s” had nothing better to do. One of the last times that I actually stopped for a cop I said dude were not bothering anyone people should be happy we’re not causing trouble like all the other young kids out stealing stuff from stores, doing drugs and what not we’re just putting around on our dirt bikes. This cop was actually cool and said do me a favor try to stay away from the areas of the tracks where people’s houses are. Another time a lady said we were driving in her backyard for hours and when we told the cop we didn’t even go on her property and he only passed by 2 times quickly he didn’t believe us and said he’s gonna take our bikes . I said you ain’t taking shit why would we stay here when there are the sand pits with tons of cool trails just a mile up the road? Isaid let’s go in her backyard to see tire tracks because if we were back there for hours there will be tracks well the cop got aggravated said I’ll let u go this time but next time I’m taking the bikes so we never once stopped again.

Well Friend I have good news for you. Although it might not feel like it depending on how deep in the city you live. But California is 45.8% Federal land, and has relaxed laws for these motorized bikes.

[@AhmedMohammed-qv4wh]

Hey wondering if anyone here could help me out, I just replaced my carburettor and now whenever I open the fuel thingy I see fuel run down into the carb but it doesn’t fill the filter or drip down that quickly in general. The bike will start but it’s super boggy at any speed and won’t idle for long even if I turn the idle screw all the way in. The fuel line that came with the bike has shrunk in the areas that aren’t connected to anything and it easily comes off from the carb / filter. This leads me to believe there is some sort of air leak in the fuel hose not letting enough fuel into the engine but I’m not too sure. (I’ve already tried using another carb) Thanks for your help 😁

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Well if your fuel lines are loose replace them... You said your fuel flow is slow that sounds like you may have a blockage somewhere also take your gas cap off see if the fuel flow increases any if so your fuel cap is defective

[@AhmedMohammed-qv4wh]

Thanks I’ll give that a try and pickup some new tubing

[@derekpirie9188]

Replace all fuel pipes with the clear reinforced pipe ( the stock pipe that comes with the kit, hardens and if there is any bends, will restrict the flow) and filter for a motorcycle one . Check that the fuel cap is not blocked, if blocked then the fuel will not flow .

[@LAHover]

When you replace your fuel line try to make sure the filer is as vertical as possible (and not backwards), trapped air can certainly be blocking your fuel flow. Also try running without the filter for a little bit just to make sure the issue is not something else.

[@nickhersheys2706]

Your carb float might be stuck. Search KZbin. It might be as smple as a few taps with a screw driver or spanner. Open up the float cupat the bottom of the car and fiddle a bit with the clip

[@guidoalmora2998]

Hello, nice video and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I'm in L.A. (not LA) and work delivering food. My D.L. was suspended right before the courts closed over the coronavirus issue, means I can't even pay for my traffic ticket so I'm stuck having to depend on my sister or my uncle to drive me around to pick up and deliver orders. The point is .... I can't decide wether to install an engine on my Trek bike or to turn it into an e-bike. Motorized bicycles are loud and e-bikes are not. E-bikes can run out of juice and motorized bicycles can keep on running on gas so you can see some pros and cons with either option. Whatever the end choice, the bike would have to be used for long and short periods all day, every day (not trailing but in metro areas like downtown Los Angeles). Do you think a motorized bicycle can take on that task ?.... Like you said before, I would try to convert it myself for the learning experience. Thank you

[@LAHover]

Some good points I'd like to hit on here. I'll reply to them in this Friday's video :)

[@andys4971]

Guido, I have made a few motorized bikes and I use em really often in my suburb. I would 100% say get a motorized bike, but especially a 4 stroke and not a 2 stroke like the one in this video, cause it’ll be quieter so you’ll get harassed less and no mixing gas and oil. Also the common 4 stroke kit is 49cc which in almost every-state can either be ridden as a normal bicycle or just classified as a moped which means you’re set from a legal standpoint. The 4 strokes in my opinion are less work and usually more reliable so I’d totally go with a 4 stroke. But you may wanna buy an aftermarket chain tensioner cause the ones that usually come with em suck

[@J-BirdFlysAgain]

You should get a 4 stroke friction drive

[@Waxxumus]

get you a BPR6HIX by NGK. They are very resistant to this type of fowling, and last forever. but theyre 9 bucks.

How many hours will u get out of this engine before it will need a rebuild or if you had to guess how many do you think ?

[@johnjriggsarchery2457]

Our goal should be developing conversion kits for professional grade chainsaw motors. Those are rated for a minimum of 3,000 hours at full throttle and I have an old Husky with waaaay more hours than that.

Can you do q video breaking down the video equipment you use.

[@413MassDigger]

You didnt like the hub adapter over that spoke clamp assembly?

[@LAHover]

I think they work great on large hubs (like coaster brake hubs). But 1"-1.5" adapters never worked for me.

[@413MassDigger]

@@LAHover interesting ,, did you do any of the hacks, like sanding them down a tad, and scratching them to grip onto the hub with a little blue lock tight?? I'm in the process of shopping for new stuff, gonna try to get mine up working again, but had nothing but problems with the back sproket being true, and a shitty tensioner, just nothing but probs,, just found your channel yesterday, enjoy your vids, thanks for the response

[@jerrygosnell8633]

Nice job going motor off walking around the water but hope it you were talkin about near your 30-mile marker I'm a fellow motorized bike rider myself man

[@ivan872]

How to get better cooling of the motor? Is there any way to put metal plates for better air flow? Nice video!!

[@LAHover]

If you are ridiing mostly street you can get a smaller rear sprocket, faster = better air cooling. If you are not using a YD100 you can get and aftermarket head with better cooling. And last but not least we toyed around with the same idea here, but have not tried it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6DWqaZ3lMp7mtE

[@ivan872]

@@LAHover thanks for answer. Yes I've already got smaller sprocket(36) for lower rpm and putting a lot of oil (about 7% or 14:1) for better cooling, but still gets very hot. Aftermarket head is a good idea but don't want to spend that kind of money. I thought about spraying the engine with water while driving? What do you think about that, will it do any damage? Thanks a lot.

[@DeanCreegerX]

If i have a pull start on my bike, can i still peddle start the bike with out hunting the pull start???

[@LAHover]

Yes you can still bump start the bike. I hear those pull starts break allot, so you may want to replace the cord, and do you you can to reinforce the internals if you can.

[@DeanCreegerX]

I have a cable cord now I went through three rope chords it was a bummer

[@mrmakeadeal2415]

[@alexj.alexander2036]

I just built a bike with the cheapest 80cc motor kit on the market, and I have a couple of questions. First off, I used a Kent Seachange bicycle (single speed) with a coaster brake originally made with the bike. I took off the wheels and replaced them with mag wheels, with disc brakes already on the rear and front wheels, but found out that modifications need to be made in order to get the calipers on. Now I can't get the junkpile of a bike going yet, especially with no brakes. So I tried to use the original wheel for the back, but the coaster brake system broke inside the hub somehow when taking it out, to put on the rag joint and sprocket. Now I took the front wheel that was originally on the bike and put the rag joint and sprocket on that. Now I have no way to pedal the bike and start it other than push it down a hill and pop the clutch but I do have a pull start with shorts out the magneto so I can't use that. How can I fix this problem other than having to buy a new wheel or pay someone to fix it for me which is not easy to do either in this place I live. Nobody condones motorized bicycles and people have been sighted numerous times. What do I need to do?

[@alexj.alexander2036]

By the way, I really enjoy your videos, and support what you do.

[@alexj.alexander2036]

The whole problem with the bike is the back wheel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@LAHover]

Having no idea how bad the rear wheel is, it's hard to say. You could take the shoes out of the hub (leave everything else) and it will free wheel while still allowing you to pedal. Than add a rim brake. I don't like or trust mag rims, but you could use the back mag, front stock wheel and add a brake to the front. Just keep your speed down because emergency braking with just the front is dangerous.

[@maltfoto]

Very Informative Video, It convinced me that these 2 stroke motors because of the 4 stroking issue at lower RPM would not be very good for a trail riding. Most trail riding is done at slower speeds and these motors would burn up prematurely from the 4 stroking and lack of cooling at the the slower speeds. Especially in hotter weather. A much better option would be an electric mountain bike!!!!!!

[@tauncfester3022]

Not really, the 4 stroking at low revs wont hurt anything, it will keep the engine cooler because it isn't firing on very stroke, and there will be more oil through the top end. I used to own a Honda Elsinore 250 cc enduro that did a bit of mild 4 and 6 stroking when lightly loaded at low RPM's. That bike's engine lasted for 45K and over a lot of dirt trails. Piston ported 2 strokes tend to 4 stroke a lot on light loads and slow rpm. It's actually, for an aircooled 2 stroke, a good thing for the longevity of the engine, you may eventually need to decarbonize the piston top and exhaust. That's general maintenance 101 for air cooled 2 cycles.

[@That_40yrOld_Dad]

I'd love to try one of those motors out. Guarantee I'll tell ya what brakes in a week

[@2strokeunlimited2.06]

I think a full suspension bike with a shift kit and a good motor would be amazing for trail riding

[@jaykoerner]

Ehh I don't like the idea of full suspension with a motor, the bikes arnt made for it and the engine moves in relation to the back wheel and chain so your basically stuck with the derailer having to take up the slack and keep it tight, probably ok on flat ground but asking for trouble if the chain jumps off when going over a bump(like a trail), for trails and the like I think fixed chains are the best bet, at least safety wise, all I know it chain lock it scary, wouldn't like it in the middle not a trail

[@2strokeunlimited2.06]

@@jaykoerner I guess but I've seen people ride them hard off road I think with quality parts and bike it would work

[@jaykoerner]

@@2strokeunlimited2.06 it's more just the thought of it, it might be fine but it's just a added worry, and a front suspension fork and a suspension seat will get you the majority of the benefits a full suspension bike will, at least for a motorized bike, completely different if non-motorized

[@jaykoerner]

@@JamesPiccone well good to hear my thoughts arnt alone

[@jaykoerner]

@@JamesPiccone granted with a smaller rear sprocket you can probably get by with a bike chain, the reduced tork and all, it's mostly the possibility of it jumping and causing the rear tire to lock that I find to be a issue
