OMG you guys RLY went to HGS in person WITH the bike, to make a Custom pipe!! Hats off! NOBODY can say thatbu guys is not taking this build serious!!
Haha Thanks buddy, it was a lonnnnng day , but so worth it!
@@999lazer For sure! I just finished warching 🤘 Not often I smile so much from youtube😆 can't wait for the next episode!
@@999lazer Does this engine utilize a power valve? I hope so, I never understood why Honda didnt use them in the CR500
@@999lazer I LOVE ThIS!!!!
best show ever
Why am I so addicted to this mini series?? 😁
Because it’s epic.
Awesome 👍 Can't wait for the results.
Should be a great Hill climber.
700cc 2 stroke, is the answer.
I've never heard of anything larger than 500cc
Big red, but I'm not knowledgeable on bikes.
65+ hp is impressive! Plus bike looks and sounds epic. Thanks for posting, can't wait to see what comes next. 💪🔥
If you dent that pipe I think Henry will hit you with it 🤣 great work guys and great video 👌👍
haha he sure will, thanks for watching
Great video max, great insight into the HGS factory and a look at their exhaust line , your bike is one of a kind and an amazing hybrid of one off parts, can't wait for the track test,.70hp don't forget a change of underwear , keep up those top quality videos max.
Thanks Kevin, the track test will be coming soon. I filmed it last week....and yes I did have to change my underwear...lol
My next 2-stroke exhaust is going to be a HGS pipe, well done 999Lazer
I'm a car guy. I don't know anything about bikes or riding, just how they work really lol but I could sit and watch these guys build these machines all day long.
Ready to ride it! 😁
Got a CR500 and a KX500 for it to go against. 😎
Love to see James "Bubba" Stewart on that thing.
HGS are legends ,next level customer service with boss in there hammer and tongs 👍👍
they are awesome fore. thanks for watching
, SO unique the styling is perfect, it's that good so far it's like a full on grass roots pre production model design series,
can't BiG iT uP enough ! ❤️
Thank you
@@999lazer 't is just ~ proper ~ chap !
Great work, would love to see this in action on a drag strip after a tyre change
great idea, we'll see what we can do
Fair play to rolly and yourself max 👏
This kind of stuffs interesting
I think it will produce 75-80 hp when completely finished, man you need to race it against the big 4 strokes!
that's the plan... thanks for watching
Kaplan America needs to step it up now and get themselves a 700! Lol
haha Ken is keen to get hold of one for sure! When he comes to the UK the Megalodon is here for him to ride!
What an absolute treat to help get this monster sorted. The Megalodon has now a unicorn.
it sure does, thanks for watching!
confusing, chef of HGS don´t know about 700ccm bikes? Most Teams in the Sidecar Worldchampionship which ride on Zabel or Mega have HGS Pipes, so do some husaberg based zabel engined Supermoto rider.
Wow! What a honor to watch Henry a Master Craftsman at work. I couldn't even imagine being there and have him make me a custom pipe!
Hi again! Maybe you remember me. Like he says at the end of the video, you need to do some cylinder and head work now to increase power and probably make a new pipe again. This engine is not designed for outright hp numbers but more for low end power and flat torque curve. I would like to know what port timings this engine has. From that i would calculate what could be a good port timing for a certain rev range and power goal. There is a lot more to get with a good cylinder and head work. I suppose you have seen what numbers my CR500/550 Liger produces and you should be able to achieve that too.
Good luck!
Johnny.
What a bike! It is a work of art!
Greetings from the Netherlands
thank you for watching and your great comment
Simply incredible!!! Amazing works cheers from across the pond!! 2 strokes for life!!
Thanks for watching John
I have a hgs full pipe on my kxf 450, it’s a work of art 👌
Dude, thank you for making this project! That beast is a dream come true!! Looking forward to the track video!!!
thanks for watching Don
FANTASTIC SERIES
thanks for taking the time to watch it :)
Welcome in Holland , great episode
thanks for watching
Ohhh Wonderfull, i dont wait to see and hear ripping in the mud!! Congrats Max!
thanks Ivan
Wow fantastic! Love it 🤩👏
Thanks John !
Love the sweatshirt bro! 😎
Whats wild is in like 2018 josh hill had a yamaha 450 with like 88 hp
killer custom pipe. go the might 2 banger
Can’t wait for the next vid !!!!!
What a bike !!!!!!
thanks Keith, not long to wait for the next one

What a good series this is. And hgs is really close to where i live
Thanks for watching :)
Great watch that max 🤙
thanks Marty
Cool to see you took the 700 beast to HGS🇳🇱😁
, is stunning crafting aren't it !
SuPeR iMpReSsiVe 👍
Cannot wait to see this beast on a full rip!
Haha, its going to be a fun one for sure. Thanks for watching
I have an idea for the far future for your next project. There is a british company called rotrox making absolutely insane rotary engines, with incredible horsepower density. An engine of theirs in an MX bike would be something to behold.
This is absolutely awesome! I’m so happy I found this channel!
Thanks for watching
Proper build!
In Belgium you could have stopped to Aragosta Suspension Technics . Custom made high performance Suspensions for race cars and bikes. 👍
125s are very thirsty and the carbs are pretty big bigger than 250s. Not sure on 500s but if you get your hands on a ktm 125 carb and jet it right that might help.
WOW ! Great stuff max i do look forward to the updates and guess have to eat my words about 70hp :O
Thanks Dan, its going to be fun to see where we get to in the end!
Hey, I like how you guys film in 50fps, it looks really smooth and high quality. I have a quick tip that can make it even smoother, though, AND give you better low-light capability. Set your shutter speed to 1/60th of a second and lock it so auto-exposure can't change it. This will make motion blur much more natural since the human motion blur range is roughly between 1/40th and 1/60th. On top of that, 1/60th will allow you to film in NTSC countries without artificial lights flickering on camera.
Alternatively, if you want to save a lot of hard drive space with minimal quality loss, you can do 30fps with a 1/50th shutter and have all the same effects(incl universal NTSC/PAL power frequency compatibility) But only do it as long as it's true 30, not 29.97 as that causes other issues with youtube: so check your camera's manual and do some Google-Fu to find out how to get true 30p on your camera!
I bet the anemic 1979 CR125 can't beat this thing around the track with equal riders. Not that the 79 CR125 was a bad bike, it was Rider friendly. It had a torque motor and a decent mid-range punch. Sure you'll pull the hole shot but what about the rest of the track? Love your r&d keep it up bro that's what makes Motocross fun and fascinating
Awesome video Max!!! That bike is next level crazy 😜 Can’t wait to see how it performs on the track
not long to wait, I will upload the track film before Xmas:)
Makes my morning seeing you have released a new video
Thanks. That means a lot :)
@@999lazer I assume it’s coming but, are you going to race a cr500 with the beast
@@thegaviscon1419 for sure :)

Please find somebody who save that pipe with carbon protection. Go to easy composite. Would be sad if you crash that dream
The black plastic looks bad ass,, but the purple/pink? All black would be cool.
Love these videos can't wait for the race with big red
i'm literally so hyped to see this reach it's full potensial that i'm almost tripping over standing on my tippy toes
This bike is wild... Pulling all the way up the face on one wheel. Lmao... Wild... Not even at 90 HP yet either Lmao.
Great to see more progress 😎😎
Mad anticipation..!
This is better than xmas!
Nice work 👍
First new KX500 in1997, stll have my '04 KX500. 250 hours on the 500's now and bought both brand new. A 700cc 2T bike will struggle to be a plausible ride. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Might look into port time I seen people shave the top of the cylinder and put a spacer at the bace to lift it back up which changes port time it makes more power at top end and will lose some at the bottom but it will gain hp if the ports are lower it most likely help because it's most likely built for bottom end so lift those ports
Oss is the best city I live there
Hope you enjoyed it here in the netherlands!
it was awesome, thanks
Koloniseren heheuuu 😂💪🏻
I who’d like to see billy bolt get on that thing and show us what he can do on it!
Your smashing this build series max love these videos the megalodon is pretty intimidating thats for sure haha👊🏽✊🏽💨💨
Great build and great channel. Time to get Nevsta to rip this beast!
That pipes of Peace of s***they should build it based on the port bore and stroke.with seven 700 CC's they should get no less than 85 horsepower the ATK intimidator and maico 700 make 88 stock horsepower.
Would of been nice to see a JSV pipe on it seeing as you were willing to travel ! Awesome build 🤙🏼
Once the bike is dialed in you should take it to Tommy or Billy’s channel to let them ride it. Keep up the great work, this build is very entertaining.
This shit is epic! Huge respect to all involved! Shout out to muc off 🥇
haha thanks mate :)
you should Supermoto it! all that power without wheelspin would be nuts!
700cc!!!!!!!!!!!
Flywheel sounds like a bit too heavy. Kinda like a trial bike.
You may want to make it lighter and rebalanced.
That way you'll gain probably 4/5 horsepower in a cheap way.
Cheers from Italy 👍
You are aware of the fact that some guys in Germany produce and sell MAICO 700 2 stroke Cross and Enduro machines, no? Displacement is 685 cc and 82 hp.
A Top fuel motor in a shopping cart.

I'd love to build a monster of a 2 stroke dirt bike one day... what compression ratio are you guys at? 10.3:1? 11:1? 9:1? Not 6.6:1? I'd love to find a old CR 500 or KX500 or RMZilla, YZ490 ect.... to build up! Find this veteran a blown up one with a decent frame. Be a fun project, I'll send the crank shaft to northern crank in thief river falls, mn to have it stroked to the max! Then the cylinder as well for full port n polish, next would be head work and to increase compression to the limits for pump gas. Worse case scenario always got aviation fuel because it's cheaper than race gas and it's 100 octane minimum no ethanol. 😉 looks awesome and has me motivated and thinking, keep up the good work with the build guys.
New to the channel. Great work 💪
thanks Daryl, glad you enjoyed it!
so this means you could probably custom order a 700c megalodon HGS pipe, if he made one with mesurements and notes.
but i think from how it looks he made if from scratch nothing writing down just try and remake retry till it works
I watch you a lot Megalodon tooth like the baddest dirt bike ever Louisiana CNC machine on the cr501e answers
Hi guys really cool build, but we’re getting 70 hp out of a modified KX 500 here in the states. I was a little disappointing I was expecting 80 hp and above out of a 700 cc Engine. There is a test and motocross action last year that had modified CR 500 versus modified KX 500. The KX 500 had massive horsepower and was rideable because of the power valve. Check it out
Very COOL!!!! Have you heard Panthera Motorsports in Canada? They have had a 620cc 6 speed power valved EStart 2 Stroke pushing 90+ hp. Is designed to bolt in a Honda TRX 450. They are working on new version with counter balancer that will bolt into 21+ Honda CRF450R!
If I ever lived in the EU and building a bike I would look up HGS. That said I was hoping that engine could do abt 80hp or better. back in the day when I had my Banshee it was right at 92 hp and it was only a twin 350 with aftermarket pipes ported engine w/rebuilt insides all high performance parts so this bike should be able to do close to that for sure.
feel the same as tuned 500cc does more then 80hp i hoped to se high numbers, this engine might lack hp as it dont rev hig enough to make high hp numbers but make torque insted.
This bike is ported more torque orientated
@@RonnieMacJr69 thats in line with my theory then.
@@extec101 I’m sure a little port work could raise the power and a decent amount when accompanied by a chamber built to math the new port timing but with a piston that large high rpm will never be a strong suit
yeah the maico 685 has 82 at the crank
You should enter that bike in a pro race.
Wouldnt that husaberg made 65hp whit a stock 650 berg engine 😅 Cool build tough, really appreciate the outcome and the looks👍
70hp from a 700cc. I guess I should be happy with the 70 whp I got from my 391cc banshee.
guess this engine got loads of torque eaven with low hp numbers.
Max, have you thought about using special racefuel for two stokes? It would be the last consequence to get the last ponys out of the engine. If the cylinder is not coated with Nicasil, leaded gasoline will help, because a lubricant is created during combustion. If you all create such a dinosaur, then it also needs archaic fuel! Greetings Ilyas
thanks for the tip
Really need to gain some confidence to make a jump, or small table top, ride the thing. Dyno numbers are great. Track is small, jumps are small so have a go yeah?
Double the base gasket it will move the power up and you wont notice much bottom end loss with a big bore, talk to the engine builder about compression ratios if you do the base gasket we have a lot of time racing big bore shifter karts the most current is a KTM 300 it pulls so hard all the blood in your head goes to your feet lol
He should have just gotten a kx500 they make 66 horsepower stock
Oooooooooooosh 👍🏻
Sounds really lean on the dyno. Big surge on the closed throttle off high revs.
Wow… that bike will give yer leg pump as well as arm pump…
is it fuel injected or runs a carb?
Congratulations MAX you done it!! Im made up for you An your team!!! As ever I can't wait to see it rippin up the track!! IS FCUKIN RITE LAA!!!
👊✊💥💨💨💨💨
NICE 🦢👍
Thanks Andy, she's looking good now and I filmed the track ride last week so will be uploading pretty soon :)
@@999lazer you go kid!!
Did you guys use a Zabel 695cc engine? Is the design fairly modern and updated? I feel like having the bike built by professionals like you guys are could easily beat a 450 today
Finally someone using their left leg on a left side kick starter. Not hard people! Embarrassing to watch people trying to kick using their right leg on a stand. News flash: when you are stuck on a log or half way up a killer hill, you had better learn how to start it properly.
Hahaha. He said port the exhaust after you just had a super expensive custom pipe made. If you port the exhaust youll have to get a new pipe made again. Talk about bad luck
Nice, im looking forward to the testing! Did mr HG get the port timing numbers or did he just shoot from the hip?
i think he just made it from experience, from the looks just measures and welded a pipe, probably inspired by a 500cc engine just bigger
@@reggiexp69 if he just shoot from the hip it might not be as optimal as it could be eaven if he built it by experience.
@@extec101 true but gotta start somewhere, and since its a first, you gotta guess, but he also knows 2 stroke i would guess, so he knows the curves and stuff i would assume
@@reggiexp69 well i could agree with you on that he should got some form of knowledge what might be in the ballpark of right.
I read an mxa article about pipe making back in the day. All the top guys had a good understanding of what changes would do what. They would just get right to cutting up and welding up a new pipe based on what they wanted the power to do. Very much an art rather than science. Mostly cone shape and distance between front and rear cone.
I’d like to see the numbers on the dyno you were originally on just for comparison.And put that thing on a scale! What’s the power to weight ratio?
Do you have the good volume?
When can I come and meet up with you guys?
I’m a massive 2 stroke enthusiast having owned many 2 stroke road bikes as well as a 96 CR500 and a 1999 KX500 so to see this beast in person would be an absolute dream.
Finally!! Didnt even watch yet.
Haha Thank you. Hope you enjoy it!
