I never knew they made a rotary that small. Should have scary top end speed on that little short wheel base bike! Can’t wait to see the first run , be safe boys 👍🏻
Fundingo11...That was the NORMAL wheelbase at one time, you had to have big ones to race the real fast ones as a kid: you guys now days have got it easy !. Trev NZ & I go back to the 60's....
Awesome build! I would add some sort of chain tensioner though. That chain from the engine to the jack shaft was bouncing around something fierce. Keep up the great work guys! Can't wait to see you guys giving her a rip.
D 12 (Diesel)...My thoughts exactly, that gold made in China Chain won't last 5 minutes with all the unsupported backlash it has. It looks pretty but buy made in America & Keep your cuntry working !PS it's not even a metric chain:. Their there own metric size to make you buy more of their products.....same for gas welding gear made in China.. you've been warned ! Trev New Zealand home of Indy car Champ Scott Dickson.
Yeah or a super charger. You can actually get small superchargers for very cheap on eBay. Not the electric fan ones these get driven off of the chain. Kinda cool actually.
id go for a rear drum break after market because if you make the brake connected through chains to the wheel, when you brake or pop a chain its game over, no brakes . A rear drum or disk set up will be safer. love the work !
I just relized this was uploaded 13 hours ago and I kinda surprised bc it seems that no ones making mini bike vids anymore and im glad you guys are, thanks
Those long unsupported jack shaft mounts will be ok for a little while as long as it does not get much use. They concentrate a lot of load on the lower connection point.
i didn't even know they made a rotary this small. it sounds awesome! i'd put a tensioner on the clutch to jackshaft chain if i were you. it has a little too much vibration for me. being as it will be all chrome, it will be kinda like a mini captain america from easyriders. put the gas tank from a pit bike on it, paint it in the german flag colors, and dub it kapitan deutschland, since sachs is a german mfg company. it'll definitely be one of a kind.
For some odd reason this reminds me of the cart we built using a washing machine motor and a car battery back in the day lol Love the rotary fellows nice work 👍👌
Engine to Jack shaft chain sure was bouncing around a lot might want to add a tensioner sprocket or you may be slinging chains, sick build, can't wait for maiden voyage
Sounds good in paper, the problem is chains still stretch and things move, ridged things holding malleable objects eventually fail, adding a spring idle tensioner will always have consistent tension on the chain until it's maxed out , why do you think your car has the same setup... why don't you just stop while your not ahead
Josh...the chain lube would ruin the disc pads in 1 minute but good idea though if he doubles up & does the same on the opposite side of the rim & same on the front wheel too - you get upto 70% of your braking on the front compared to just the rear only !.Cheers Bud Trev NZ
@@trevinskiking2165 I mean, unless you’re applying chain lube by the gallon centrifugal force would keep most if not all of it off, sprotors do exist and do work pretty well
@@tenderblender945 When I was MX racing we would soak our chains in a hot pan of Moly grease (Liquid) let it slowly cool & dry - there was natural sling off. You can lose up to 30%HP with an improperly lubed chain.T 🙃NZ
@@tenderblender945 I get your point but I didn't say OIL , I said MOLY GREASE: a + 2 HP increase - another of my speed secrets hard earned: Isky Trev NZ
I'll be "that guy",...'again'LOL. 1.That's so freaking Awesome !.2.Seriously going to need to change to a belt drive as that revs so high at idle.3.Please Never try to drive this without full body protection.It may kill you.It Will be that dangerous.Best wishes for your continued health,and success.
You're probably going to lose a fair amount of power through that jackshaft with the tiny sprocket on the primary side (not to mention a serious amount of side load on it). May be better to go with a little bit larger sprocket on the primary side of the jackshaft, and a little smaller wheel sprocket to compensate. That jackshaft 'stand' won't last long without running some support pipes down to your lower frame rails to box it in. Otherwise, it should be a fun little ride.😉
Very cool build! Whats the rpm range of that rotary though?? Im assuming much higher than a predator. If so, you might need a much bigger sprocket on the jack shaft to increase your gear ratio because that thing might be geared to do 60 mph and not have much acceleration! One more thing you might consider is the "lock-up" rpm of the centrifugal clutch, Because of the higher rpm of rotaries, the idle speed of that engine might already be locking up that clutch so either much stronger springs in the clutch, lighter weights in it, or you might have to install the clutch on the jack shaft once you lower the gear ratio to the jack shaft! Defiantly do some on the ground testing before putting more work into this! very excited to see this frame chromed!!
from what i could find online, the max rpm or that engine is 5K so with your gear ratio (6.1:1) that should put you around 32 mph top speed. Not as bad as I thought! Might be in the clear if your idle rpm isnt too high!
Why didn't you just run the pipe out under the seat vs sticking out the side? Got all that room under there, makes it less likely you'll burn your leg or hand on it picking the bike up. Jut curious.
Awesome work except that little fuel tank. I thought they said previously they were trying to go original as possible it needs the original tank or it will just look stupid.

Feel like it would've been cool for the exhaust to come right out the back under the seat
As a rotary owner, you would literally set your ass on fire.
Now it will scorch your leg instead.
@@rattlecanrx7594 as a fellow rotary owner, built in seat warmers 🤣😅
The seat has the suspension so you would hit the exhaust constantly
Noah Paulette then you build the exhaust so there’s no contact. Duh
Chain tensioner that chain bounces
That's a bad ass little bike love the Dorito motor lol
and guard
@Focus RS Yea, the chain is gonna eat socks, laces and jeans if they don't guard it.
Oh it sounds so goood !
Imma say the same thing I said for the Wankel Go kart : it brapbraps like a big one

Love the video, love the build but please put a chian guard on the engine to jack shaftchain!!! It wasflopping like mad!!!
The Rotary alone is dope
Man it sounds so good that idle is really something
That idle is absolutely amazing
Good job once again boys. might want to use a chain tension-er on this bad cat but she looks sick so far. The chrome is really gonna make it pop.
Wow those chains were dancing dangerously....😱
Hope you put some chain guard on the centripetal clutch side. That chain was scary bouncing and needs a cover!
The bike sounds absolutely awesome! Keep doing what you do!

"Something special" I'm calling turbo

@@noahpaulette1490 I could see supercharger as that would be cool but he said the exhaust was temporary leading me to believe turbo

Keep up the good work.
Man that engine sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it rip.
Nice job guys.It sounds like a ripper!!!!
You could probably turn that pull start to point up so the rider can start it. Cool build.
Neat. Was looking at one of these engines just the other day. Rotary, lots of power in a nice little package for sure!
People in a package?
@@hunterrrwlodarczyk476 yup, u pack all those people, into a nice little package. That's how you make rotary engines 😆😆 typo fixed!
@@megoingfast What was the typo ? & Wrap them in cling film 1st😋Trev NZ
the crome look is perfect for that bike!
Bad ass..........looks comfortable too
I do suggest a chain tensioner for the motor to jack shaft chain, or at least a chain guard, it’s got a good bit of wiggle
Chain tentioner needed and it looked like the master link flew off 😂
That’s a sweet bike great job.

It sounds so sick
Phenomenal job on the fabrication. Killed it
lol
>its super strong
didnt even bevel before u welded it, nice build though cant wait to hear that thing flying down the road
Notch👍
For the purposes of this the weld should stick fine. Your working with probably 10hp max with a lot of rpm
@@noahpaulette1490 IF he's done his welding properly the parent metal should give way before the weld does. Goodonya Trev New Zealand
These lil engine is so awesome 😎 great work guys
That jack shaft has is really a one off guys great job
I can't wait for the turbo :)
Love the sound! Great job guys
It looks badass
That's pretty sick!!!
this will be sick!
been waiting for this to come out. I enjoy watching you all build
Super exotic rotary engines! #thumbsup
You need to drill out the engine mounts so you can move the engine half a inch forward to give the chain tension
I love it man! Next build a Mud Motor Engine for my small 10 foot jon boat!!!
Haha I made one for my kayak. Kawasaki th48 engine 3d printed prop. I have a video on my channel

So sick Can’t wait to see it rip
For some odd reason this reminds me of the cart we built using a washing machine motor and a car battery back in the day lol Love the rotary fellows nice work 👍👌
Awesome video mate
you could just use a disk break calliper on the wheel sprocket i would also cut the exhuast and mount it so it is central on the bike
Nice job 👍
a turbo on this would be sick
Just love it😎
It sounds amazing!
Cool project. How many hp coming out of that rotary
20-30ish if it's a 295 sachs
You should put the break disk on the jackshaft

If you put a expansion chamber on it like a 2 stroke itll make a big difference
Where can I find a rotary engine in Canada? Love the vids
I would brace the jackshaft off the rear bars of the frame as well just to help with any Flex
You need a chain guide.well done
Thanks for the video
Put a caliper on the rear sprocket like a sprotor! 😁

that brapbrapbrapbrap tho
Doing something kind of special with the exhaust in the future. Do I smell a turbo?
does it not need a support from the jack shaft to the bike frame?

I missed why you couldn't flip the tire over, hence no jack shaft...
thinking the same thing
just flip the wheel så the sprocket are on the other side, no big deal
I'm thinking maybe because the shaft sticks out too much to line up with the wheel sprocket and they wanted to keep the engine in the middle?
@@lennym1273 good point
@@torbendk2777 Thanks, it's just a thought...
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they expect to change the gear ratio.

Was the alignment too far off to just flip the rear wheel to put the sprocket on the left side?
Cool
i dont think the shaft will hold up ... it might need more bracing ?
Iv got one of these engines in a wee trike with a straight pipe sounds really good you should try it I would upload and video in comment if I could
What kind of rotary is this? I can't find one anywhere..
Cool build, but just how do you adjust the rear chain when it needs some adjustment?
ad/remove a link
@@clayboi6939 and add a tensioner
Nice, but omg that chain tension... or lack of it :s
That thing's gonna eat.
For premix I would run castor 927 50:1 in it 2.6 ounces per gallon
I like that thumbnail ;)
Where do you guys buy the engine

They said on another comment reply that they got it on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, I forget which. *edit: Ebay, it was Ebay.
Would be nice to know the OG source...tried looking it up and did not find anything

Just curious why don’t you use a torque converters so far all the videos I have seen no torque conversions
Put a long breaker bar on the manual pipe bender. You won’t have to work as hard.
Its on sale. I am looking for one. Buscó una así.
Love this bike but I can feel the burn marks on the insides of my legs every time I look at that exhaust.
Yep, it'll get super hot. Should have run it under the seat.
Why didn't you flip the rear wheel so the sprocket is on the the left side?
The dorito mini bike lives please call it that
Where do u get the engines from
you should see if you can get that thing ported
get rade porting on it so it go brap brap brap at idle
How about a chain tensioner!!!?
Awesome work except that little fuel tank. I thought they said previously they were trying to go original as possible it needs the original tank or it will just look stupid.
You should keep with the bare metal look for the frame.
Why dont use cvt belt ?
Bwarpp bwarpp bwarpp bwarpp bwarpp 😍
Complete with leg burner exhaust system.
That the rotary from the go kart.?
Looks fun! Auction it for charity when you're done??
