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.

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)

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 !

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.

awesome vid bud

First I thought you had a 4 stroke engine where the gas and oil are separate. But you mixed it at the gas station. So I Figured out why your bike is giving you a challenge. It's not running rich, sort of. When you pour the oil directly into the tank it just sits very thickly. It doesn't difuse or dilute and mix with the gas properly. Then when it it gets to the carb it's too "rich" but not in gas it's in oil. I would highly suggest that you pour the oil into your "spare" tank and mix the gas and oil in that or other gas approved container and shake/mix the oil and gas. Also pour the oil in after the gas. When you need to refuel use your "spare" tank first, then refill it with gas then oil. The jostling in your pack will thoroughly mix it.

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.

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!

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.

that thing flies!

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!

What kind of rear wheel did you order? And what kind of frame do you recommend for heavier rider?

Hey I have a question if one going on a regular ride for 6-8 miles what would you recommend I bring for repairs an stuff like that

What’s a rough estimate of top speed of this motor?

Love your videos as I hobby build small engines bike kits I have a chopper and the mountain bike

I want that NT carb. I got the bofang and I am pretty sure I cant do jetting without soldering and drilling on the bofang, correct? Also where did you aquire that exaust? Or at least the piping so I can make a custom exhaust using the factory flange. I need to learn more about expansion chambers etc, first so I know how to build a proper custom. Exaust. Otherwise I'm going with the Mz65 clone pipe with the amazon silencer. The feed back is promising enough. Mine is an 80cc, all decked and ported. I am a small engin mechanic but there is a lot to learn with the moterized bikes to run them properly and keep em running. Regardless I do want to learn how to make custom exaust for these motors.

Whenever you go fill up you should always close your fuel valve so oil dosent immediately go into the carburetor before mixing with the gas

“Never leave home without adequate protection” HELL YEA!!

I built mine with a Schwinn delmar. Rode it 5 mins then took it 15 miles downtown to court and back the next day. the last 4 miles the rear bearings exploded out. I replaced the ball bearings. Hoping it last

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 ?

How much gas did you use on this trip? Did you need to refill?

is it so impossible to add like a cooli9ng fan to the motor, or a shroud to shovel in more air?

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

And Did u mess with the timing to see if u get more power?

thats right guns keep you safe
