    You especially have to ride like you're invisible on these because people see a bicycle and assume its a normal bike and think they they have time to pull out I've almost been run over by a tractor trailer that was at a stop sign because of this, he started moving as I was directly in front of him, it wasn't his fault nor was it mine but you have to be VERY careful when riding these

    Hey, great advice on filling the space in the chain cover. About the exhaust lubing the chain, not a bad idea except the un burned old is not the only thing that will drip from the pipe. An automatic oiler isn't hard to make and can be set to drip very slowly. Just have to remember to open and close the valve at the beginning and end of each ride. I don't know if o ring chains are available in this size, but they only need to be cleaned once in a while. The way we used to lubricate they non o ring chains for racing many moons ago,,, Heat grease in a pot and immerse a chain in it. When the grease thins out, it creeps in between the pins and rollers where it's needed and thickens up there when it cools. Was the best "trick" for keeping lubrication in an abused chain for a long time. Enjoyed your video and have subscribed.

    Couldn't agree more if your going 35 mph on a bicycle with 2 stroke engines you better have you're wits about you.i have a little mountain bike with the 49 cc really cool I built it from scratch. Along with a better bike I recently picked up another complete one for 50 bucks. My first bike has a little more than 200 bucks My first build I am mechanically experience and frankly I grew up race deserting motocross. Open class only so these cute little things are nothing really but fun.i plan on on building a collection 80 cc 100 cc and a 4 stroke model.when I graduate to a high speed road bike I plan on using one of those cool frames with the built in tank I have seen some gorgeous ones that are out together sweet with the backseat and years 70 plus mph but for now I going to build mountain bike style and get more experience in our these little rice burners under my garter belt haaa.You provide a tremendous amount of information on these things and I sincerly appreciate it.

    On the note of riding like you are invisible, (which, btw, is exactly what you should do) you should also ride like EVERYONE can see you. I built bikes for my cousin and i, (we live in a decent sized town/city in Wisconsin) while riding around, a car came up from behind and was tailgating my cousin really hard. (Speed limit of the road was 30 mph, we were both doing about 35mph and unable to physically go any faster.) Causing him to run off the road, but not before that car cane with in about a foot of his rear tire. He slammed on his brakes so hard just to prevent from crashing that he locked the rear brakes (v brakes, the arms tightened and bent so they held the wheel) and bent his rear wheel. Ride safe out there.

    Havnt tried oil chain from exhaust mainly cause try to keep oil from rear tire. Learned that lesson riding motorcycles. Also chain catching...,I tilted my motor forward so that top of gear case was further away from chain and have had no problem since. But understand not every solution across the board. But have built 2 stroke, 4 stroke and 1000w 48v ebike. So i have learned many lessons the hard way. Biggest upgrade in my opinion was wheels. My spoked wheels had to be trued every other ride and just got sick of tasking tires off n on. So i got some mag wheels and i love them. Durable, sprocket mounts directly to wheel and disc brakes were no problem to install. after i made my own adaptors. so if i can help with Anything would be my pleasure.

      A rebuilt is a common on 2 strokes, remember thought rebuilding means you'd have to do the proper break in again.
      PS. Not such a heavy 16:1 or 20:1 since the crankcase has been lubricated and the cylinder walls/piston ring+bearing can be precisely lubricated for effective break in.

    Regarding what tools/spares you carry with you: You didn't mention a 14mm socket and some kind of wrench/ratchet wrench, and ABSOLUTE MUST! I went on a long ride during one of the hottest days of the summer two years ago. Well, I brought every tool/part you could practically need with me, EXCEPT for a 14mm socket and wrench. My head bolts ended up coming loose (forgot to tighten them after break in, so STUPID!) and I blew a hole in my piston, was pretty scary, but the worst part was pushing that 70lb bike for 5 miles to get back home in 110 degree heat. SO KEEP A 14mm SOCKET AND WRENCH ON HAND AT ALL TIMES!

When I pushing that heavy bike home, during 110 degree heat, I damn near collapsed from heat exhaustion, I was only about 2 miles from home but was so burnt out that I couldn't take another step. This happened at a park, where I sat down on the grass to cool off and rest for a few. Well about 5 minutes later the sprinklers just randomly turned on, spraying me with cold water which I was SO GRATEFUL FOR! It was like "Manna from Heaven", and interestingly enough the park maintenance man was driving by in his "golf cart" (or whatever it was) and stopped, looked at me and said, "That's weird, the sprinklers aren't supposed to come on at this time, but you look so hot & exhausted I guess its divine intervention".

    I like the points you raise about chain lubrication, tension and it folding up in the trans.
    Chain tension I would imagine could be solved with a 2 stage spring tensioner... fancy yes but I'm gonna make one, essentially like a miniaturized long travel shock absorber in a guide. The "fill the space" epoxy puddy is a great idea too, but the machined cover would be ideal. Compromise and go get a guide plate welded to the inside of your cover?
    Automatic lubrication would be great, but I would worry about an excess buildup gathering in the trans (especially with the cover chain guide) or worse... on you. Not sure how much the exhaust leaks honestly, my only frame of reference I have is messy nitro RC motors. I'll be ordering my 1st 48cc 2 cycle kit (IL legal) next week, and your video is quite informative, thanks!

    Yes I actually do run my exhaust where it blows on my change oiling my chain however you have to have a chain cleaner permanently mounted on it otherwise with the excess oil on it the road dirt gets up on the chain and causes damage to the chain and gumming up your sprockets inside the motor housing other than that it is a lifesaver especially if you ride in very wet areas my chain has never even had surface rust on it

    I have also heard of the exhaust system having garbage in them and it gets sucked into the cylinder.

    A remedy for a slipping adapter is to install it on the shaft and if both sides touch both sides need to be shaved till you can see small spacing after that use a pin punch and tap it with a hammer to roughen it up the inside and also all around the rim shaft and problem fixed

    Exhaust near or blowing on chain I've seen only on motorcycles not bicycles. It heats up the chain & makes them look real dirty but never seen anything go wrong. I've also seen a blow by hose on 4 stroke go on top of a chain.

    Just thought you'd like to know a garage door opener that uses a chain to operate it will work on the bikes. It's a 415 chain. It's a nice long length too. I see these in dumpsters all the time.

    The first engine I ever bought had the piston installed backwards and both rings were busted when I finally had to overhaul it. I check the piston every time I get a new engine now. It’s 50/50.

    On your seeutek motor take off the fly wheel cover clutch plate and spring. Then loosen clutch cable and it will reset your clutch arm.

    24:00 I had it twice because I didn't tune properly, got it started and going but would immediately sputter out, and going fast on a heavy bike when that clutch is fighting back... it was enough torque to bend the stock tensioner bracket, and the I guess the shock of it rippled up the chain and got it stuck.

  • @jf4872
    @jf4872 Před 2 lety

    Flip the clutch bracket arm. It should be angled outward. And when adjusting the cable only adjust it so the arm rests on the clutch pin (no pressure).

    Are you running no chain tensioner in this video??? Please respond I'd like to know if Engine mount style or running no tensioner at all would work better than the stock one obviously right?

    • @LAHover
      @LAHover  Před rokem +1

      Each bike is different. Some need them, some don't. I try to run without them when I can.
      Some single speeds will let you put the tensioner on the pedal side.
      Spring tension is good if you only have a little slack in the chain. Too much slack will make them useless.

    I added a full electrical system to my 49cc 2 stroke: I have head lights, tail light, brake light, blinkers, a horn and even a phone charger. My problem is that because of a bad fuel/oil mix I caused my motor to seize. I replaced the cylinder, piston, got a high performance head and carb. I have compression and my multimeter says I should have spark (new spark plug too) but as soon as I let out the clutch it locks up. Any ideas?

    My bike has all the street legal stuff, even turn signals. I still been hit 3 times. I ride in the street and always give cars/trucks the right of way letting them go around me... but they don't always move over far enough so they end up clipping me with the mirror or turning into you. there are bad drivers, some that actually hit parked cars and run up poles.

  • @gherosh
    @gherosh Před 3 lety +2

    Regarding oiling the chain from exhaust, as far as I know the carbon/ash and heat from exhaust harms the chain links causing excessive wear and shortening the chain live. This I know from old motorcycle guy, never tried or seen this on a motorized bike. For the sake of experiment I guess it's worth trying, I let you know if I ever do.

    @philblankenship9188 Před 3 lety +1

    Hello All..... I built a custom 80cc and had to CUSTOM bend the exhaust in order to clear "Leg Space". A bonus was that the exhaust oil blasted onto the chain while riding. Matter of fact, it lubed the chain so well that the master link came apart and the chain just slipped off to the ground. BTW> I was at 40 MPH. Talk about Dumb Luck with NO damage? Anyway, Just thought I would share this with you all and PLEASE don't run your bikes passed 50MPH !!! Mine does and it's NOT fun anymore at that speed.... Talk with you again, Phil
