YD100 & Zeda 80 Update (motorized bikes)

[@sunnydeath2635]

I’m recovering yet like 20th time now from riding it, this time I got a huge road rash on my leg and a couple of other scuffs that opened up after last crash, my front tire just popped while going around 25mph, I was lucky to this time only hurt my leg. It’s still a pain to walk but 2 more weeks and I will be back on it.

[@chrisgenovese8188]

I can't wait to see where you go with the yd100 and what performance you can get out of it! I've got the same kit sitting in a box while Im getting everything else together.

[@colerutledge8989]

My favorite motorized bike channel, keep up the good work.

[@julianespinosa5175]

Ebay has window pistons for about $30 and standard pistons for $20 for the yd100

[@LAHover]

Oh sweet! thanks man. I kept seeing out of stock everywhere except amazon...

[@ajmotorsport9246]

Sup LA hover ma guy love the video love the bikes thanks for the tips definitely love the 3ple-40 and the parts that you pin pointed out 💯💪 God bless you out brother and fams bike life 💯💪

[@abikelife1481]

One thing about PK80 replacement parts, they are often slightly different sizes and specs. An aftermarket cylinder, may be slightly taller or shorter, and have different tolerances. Seems like each manufacturer, and even their production runs, have different measurements.

[@jorelldye4346]

Would you be willing to put the gearing in the description with the engines on your videos? Ie "YD100 10/44t"

[@raymondshrader3555]

That was fun watching you try to get to 41...

[@telluricman]

Thx for the update man. Good info and keep it up....

[@codelicious6590]

I like the Thrust pipe- the welds are terrible but I got alot of power switching from a long pipe with muffler at the mid-year wheel. The Thrust has a small expansion chamber on it and along with porting and polish, I think it's the number one way to increase the power of the engine.

[@LAHover]

Thanks for sharing

[@cesarpagan4640]

Honda CR 80 expansion chamber will work great

[@edwardmiller5335]

Thanks,,you mentioned about reed valves and working on a budget,,,I can relate on both,,,I also notice your open toe sandals with the white sock look,, FYI,,,,when I was way young ,,,,,before I had a motor and peddling my bike was the way too GO,,,left foot,,,,,27 stiches LATER,,,I learned THAT,,,I'll NEVER wear sandals while riding my 🚲,,,JUST saying,,,BUT,,,learn from my experiences as I learn from yours,,,,JUST saying,,,,awesome videos and excellent advice on repairing,,,themand riding tips,,ALSO,,,reach DOWN and give Henry a pat on his HEAD,,he's a good BOY,,,,

[@matthewsteva1917]

smaller window piston match the intake side with boost port best to get a extra cylinder to be on the safe side in the future

[@lucaslucas8854]

Esse yd100 é bom demais depois que aprende a mecher .. tem que trocar a peça toda da embreagem e colocar um carbura decente pq não aguenta mais o motor é forte demais humilha as biz pop 100 até 125 na subida kkk .. qualidade por dentro do cilindro tbm me surprendeu depois de um ano ainda não gastou nada tanto o cilindro quanto os anéis e o pistão .tinha que tá mais barato o escape dimensionado aqui é 350 reais ( 1 U$ = 6 reais )se não eu testava

[@kjohns1413]

Maybe there is a noise we cant hear, but I feel like my 66cc Ebay engine sounds just as noisy at the clutch area. Now I want to pull the cover and look. Been doing some 42 mile trips on the weekends and dont want to get stranded. I've greased the gears as well. Good work on all the testing and rebuilding.

[@LAHover]

Will find out soon.

[@abikelife1481]

Do you have the crankshaft gear and drive gear all greased up!?

[@jonathanguillory8321]

Thank you for your videos your awesome

[@LAHover]

Glad you like them!

[@macmotorizedbike3834]

Advanced the timing on the pk80 yd100 more expensive if it blows 🔥

[@rocknroll1753]

Nice vid, if u wanna make power without an expansion chamber try ditching the reed and windowed piston, bolt up the 21mm carb, advance the timing and maybe try shave 1mm off the top of the cylinder off then make a gasket thats 1mm thick and place it between the head and case that should change your port timing which will help u with top end power fairly cheaply. Cheers

[@LAHover]

Thanks for the tips, but it's a 1 peace cylinder.

[@rocknroll1753]

@@LAHover I forgot that its the YD u want to mod not the zeda, oh well good luck anyway

[@bigsandwich]

Early! love the videos!

[@mrmotor1986]

Hi there like your vids has far has i know reed valve needs small window piston or make a port from the bottom of the cylinder to the intake there are vids on youtube i run both the tunnel from the intake to the bottom of the cylinder about the size of half my finger then i run third transfer port it realy brings reed valve to life hope this helps the vids. Is rinegn how to make reed valve work properly you will see what i mean there porting for reed smaller window is better if you have the realy small reed you must open intake port roof just so top reed opens all the way

[@YorHighness]

Reeds are only good for Blowback when transfer ports are worked and enlarged.

[@thisguytrucksoldtrailer6875]

Don’t forget to 👍 thumbs up

[@bryduhbikeguy]

.The 'spitting' is spark,and gapping tighter will help.Since you showed the Magneto slip/gap,would you please vid just that tightened either direction?To left would be advance,as they spin backward...?Hell LA,I'm just 4 years into these too,and 30plus in 4 cycles.I'm tired of my mid rpms 4 cycling but too dang tired of researching.I figure after the steel sleeve,I'll just set it to run 10k and vid the trips,and mods.(grocery bag full of lights,voltage rectifiers,wire,and hope_)

[@ThunderFoxMusic]

you put in a reed without a windowed piston? I'm surprised it's even running. apparently reeds should always go with windowed piston. I'd be interested to see how that changes things if you're considering it

[@LAHover]

Oh no, I did window the piston, sorry if I forgot to mention that.

[@DeanCreegerX]

Good podcast👍

[@marcs4091]

Dam how many miles did you have on the triple 40? Those are supposed to be good Motors? I have a brand new one still sitting in the box, also with a brand new CNC head. One day I'll put to good use. Been four stroking lately.

[@LAHover]

Motor was used on a trail bike for two years. It was not well treated :P ... no idea how many miles sorry.

[@drzandlcp]

Hopefully that 21mm oko will take care of those mid top range issues but at some point you may want a nice pipe I’m broke so I just gutted my stock pipe and didn’t change the stinger size much just opened up those baby holes on the inside and ditched the baffling aka bassist blasting

[@Smithandrossiter]

Love the video! Question! What are your thoughts on the Trojan Horse 80cc motors? They run on a 1:100 ratio.

[@LAHover]

Thanks, I have no knowledge about that motor. But I would not run 100:1 in any bike motor.

[@Smithandrossiter]

@@LAHover I appreciate your insight a lot! The website (Bike Berry) says it runs on that SABER 100:1 oil and its one of the cleanest burning motors on the market because of that. I will definitely look at more reviews now before I pull the trigger and buy on the motor. Thanks a lot

[@Smithandrossiter]

@@JamesPiccone Hmm I really appreciate your response. The website (Bike Berry) says this motor was made to run on the SABER 100:1 ratio oil only but I will do more research now. Thank you

[@ivanveenendall403]

what sprocket are you running in the YD100? My bike is a a Zeda 80 with an aftermarket exhaust, it feels like it reaches its full speed way too soon with a 44 tooth, and I want to go at least 35- 40 mph in straight roads. What would you recommend? I love your videos!

[@LAHover]

I'm happy with this 36 tooth sprocket. Should hit 35 on a stock motor.

[@eddiewilson3419]

Gotta get a good exhaust with expansion to make more power and speed

[@davidknightaudio934]

if you really want help and your questions answered iv been building these motors up for years and i make most of my parts expansion chambers intake track balanced cranks myself as well as the porting and stuff i also re hone out carbs but i want to help you with your spark timing thats your problem and no matter what ppl tell you on the net ul never find the true answer its a two part soloution and no its not a new coil and cdi lol well its a new cdi with a actual ignition coil with it and you will also have to remove the woodruff key and install a lock washer and lock nut then lock your crank shaft and adjust your magneto magnet back or forwards a few degrees to get it right for your port heights and mods in fact sstarting with this before the jag cdi and ignition coil will really help you if you want more help just ask me

[@ronduck2812]

What do you think about the Minnelli 6ho engine

[@patrickElliott-ui1bp]

How do you go so fast on your bikes I have a motorized bike and it doesn’t go past 30

[@Mash3OH3]

Hello! I have a question! I have thr zeda 100cc. But during the sprocket installation. I only got two plates on one of the rubber circle things Don't they usually come with two plates and another set of three plates for the other side of the rubber? Cause I'm at a total loss right now. Do I like only need two?

[@Jeff_Green]

Hey, maybe a racing tuck could increase your top speed by a few mph

[@oblivionblast]

Your talking about shaving the woodruff key in the magnet right? Wouldn't that make it harder to get started?

[@LAHover]

I shaved the key and retarded the timing on a YD-100 that came too advance from the factory. It gained low end torque, reduced misfires, and smoothed out the motor. It had no effect on starting the motor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqe6XpWHi55qg5I

[@ericbooker9949]

I see you got stock parts on your bike How much upgrades do you recommend

[@GuilhermeTrojan]

I think this is the point the hobbie gives more joy with less effort, like look at 11:37, that pull is lot of fun hheeheh

[@hduassassin7960]

Hey did you need a window piston with the yd100 to run the reeds

[@MattMonkey-my4gf]

Which motor do you recommend for someone’s first bike?

[@joechipman8711]

I recently purchase and have running one of these kits with a mz65 pipe and it runs great! www.bicycle-engines.com/new-zeda-80-complete-80cc-motorized-bicycle-engine-kit-ceramic-coated-cylinder-firestorm-edition/

[@ediot.1012]

What would you blame it on if an engine is not running after changing the CDI, magneto, spark plug, and the gas is flowing. And the engine does spark but the engine still does not start?

[@LAHover]

When you KNOW you have spark and fuel, I would check the following. Magnet has it's key and is tight. Piston and cylinder are in good shape (and not backwards). No oil leaking around seals and/or gaskets. Choke lever is not up. Nothing is plugging your exhaust (yes it has happened to me).

[@abikelife1481]

Do you hear any air hissing? Often the head gaskets leak in the PK80 styles. Also certain cylinders aren't allowing enough fuel and air to reach combustion. Those are the ones with the big transfer cylinder bridges

[@marcs4091]

Were you the one that said you had a webpage or something that has pictures of all your subscribers builds? And if so how do I access it? And if it wasn't you sorry my bad.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

I dont know anything about advancing and retarding timing But ive been told retarding the timing gives more torque and less fuel economy advancing the timing im told increases fuel economy but lowers torque Also on those bike tires you probably want to limit your speed to around 35 M.P.H. i was reading some old forums (from the early 2000's where professional cyclist were saying they didnt feel comfortable running 40 M.P.H. on high end bike tires

[@samuelfrenchy5585]

hey mate whats the best bike frame for a zeda 80 Preferably with front suspention like the YD100 frame

[@billrivers2578]

Does this engine require a smaller jet in the carburetor to run better?

[@LAHover]

It was spot on for me, I'm at 140 feet elevation.

[@110percentcanadian6]

I was stranded a few weeks ago because the chain doubled over itself. -Is there a way to prevent besides tightening the chain.

[@exque5305]

watch his video on random motorised bike information, at a point in that he mentions using some sort of putty (I can’t remember you really have to watch his video) or something else safe to put in the motor to fill the empty space around the front sprocket, but your best bet is just lifting your chain tensioner if possible, it will fix it much easier.

[@LAHover]

I clean and scuff the empty space above the chain, than fill it in with epoxy (jb weld or quick steel). But this is a band-aid if you don't tighten your chain / remove links.

[@joechipman8711]

[@WhiskersTheFish]

Would a 26 inch mountain bike with caliber brakes and a 20 inch frame be a good bike for building a 2 stroke kit?

[@codelicious6590]

Yeah, just make sure you measure between the frame members to make sure there will be room for the engine and carb.
