Typo on my port timings.
Exhaust duration is 170 not 160
hey @LAHover I've been wanting to put one of these motors on my Super73 S2 Ebike. Any suggestions? Where I would be mounting it is flat there wound that be an issue. Also was wondering about the back crank one side has the exsiting chain an the other has disc brake.
The gas bike community has been the most welcoming and helpful enthusiast community I've ever become a part of and in less than 4-5 months I've learned how to do port work match exhaust and intakes to ports balance my cranks and so much more. Darcy and Kurt Smolik in particular have helped me so much with modifying my bike
Couldn't agree more! It's only when you start dealing with "high performance" stuff that you sometimes run into a few bad apples... but it's like that in allot of hobbies I noticed.
Yea its cool to see how we all come together .I just wish everyone everywhere would be like this it would be a lot better planet
The arrowhead hunting community is very similar
Blessed comment, and fully agreed. The small engine tuning community overall is absolutely lovely. I can say without joking that getting into small scale mechanics has massively boosted my outlook on life :)
it's very encouraging to know these engines are durable enough to withstand speeds that high
As long as you clean out all the junk the factory leaves in the case and don't ride full throttle all the time, they can last a surprisingly long time... I push them WAY harder than their intended purpose.
😮😮😊😊
I watch a lot of TH-cam videos on my phone but when one of your videos come out I make it a point to watch it on my PC for the best experience
Thanks Paul :) I hope it was worth it!
@@LAHover yeah dude it was a good ass video your bike was going faster than it ever has
+1 for the speed warning. I had a motor mount stud fail which caused the chain to snap and wrap around my rear wheel and totaled it ( at around 20 mph. The wheel locked up and i slid around a bit before coming to a stop. I pedaled back home. I can't even imagine that happening at 50mph lol
And it only takes one time. Thanks man :)
Dude I had the same thing happen to me! Sadly I couldn't extract the bolt and now my motor is held by steel wire, which has worked so far! But I have to cut the lines whenever I go into the clutch cover
@@braydenhancock3907 i snapped the bolt and couldn't extract it the 2nd time it happened. I used hose clamps wrappes around the clutch adjustment ( motor side ) and another one atrached to a giant d ring that went around the cilinder head. It worked great and held up. You need to replace the hose clamps once a month or so due to cracks caused by engine vibration. I eventually scrapped the engine because the rod snapped but that system worked for a good 4 months ~1000 miles
That's some scary shit ! My worst fear. Well my top fear along with not being able to stop in time! Stop too fast or not fast enough! SPEED KILLS!
I just putter around at 20mph good enough .
Finally, this is truly moving on from stock kit reviews and into engineering. These experiments are of great interest to me and it's not easy to find them, if they exist at all. Got the bell on for your next videos with deluxe pipe, then window piston, etc. Can't wait!
Im into chainsaws as well . Truly they are unsung heros in the performance world but im learning more of the actual nuts n bolts of 2stroke go get em on this an some other moped channels . Hovers happenin covers the bases thourghly without the bs and honest about what he Really knows .
Thanks Builders! Will do my best to keep at it.
Have ever thought about adding a jack sharft to get more speed , keep up the good work
a proper 2 stroke sound, love the sound of expansion chamber resonance
BRRRrrraap!
Does the expansion chamber make that much of a difference ?
Welcome to 2 strokes, they are the reason why they can make so much power at a small weight, the power is up high.@@Mash3OH3
This youTuber man he is the most unbelievable TH-camr I have ever heard and seen about,
First of all very very good information secondly extremely teachable and understandable vedio, I have to give you a big thumbs up and I hope you never turn down your TH-cam channel and stop doing two-stroke engines, very very good Vedio 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️
Swedish big fan here!! 👍🏽🤛🏽
So nice of you! Stay safe Builder :) and thank you!
I really like how you have that bike running and yeah I just don’t understand why he blocked me but thanks for the congratulations I was pretty impressed but watching guys like you help is definitely appreciated ty
I don't think he blocked you. He just disappeared one day, not sure why but his channel is gone.
Thanks for the shoutout!
Man , THAT BIKE SOuNDS AMAZING (with that exhaust ! )
i got a Heart!! , its nice to Know That La Hover bikes , reads his Comments ,, I do enjoy your Channel, , keep up the Good work , And God bless , Stay SAfe out on the ROad Bud
Great Port work especially using hand type tools! The exhaust port looked nice and wide which I think is just as important as the rest and wow a real pipe to top it off. Great video and that thing sounds perfect. Holly s..t!
Thanks Builder! This cheap little Dremel Stylo+ with a decent set up aluminum cutting bits has been holding up great, and lets me work in these tight spaces a bit easier than my bigger Dremel.
I use felpro gasket paper with copper gasket coating, use the spray type and do about 3-5 coats on each side and let it set before installing and that paper will last a long long time. Ive been making my own gaskets for my bikes/cars and that's the only way I make mine and never had one fail on me unless I was rough with removing it
Nice tip, thanks Builder!
Video Idea- Take apart/cut open a broken CDI and magneto coil, show how they're made, what went wrong and if you can do a cheap easy diy repair and/or improvements by soldering in some new parts and glue gun it back together. Check what gauge wire is used in the 2 & 3 wire magneto coils, how many wraps,if they use varnish coating if you could diy make or repair one fairly easy.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I kill one :)
i'm very curious about original magneto coil
I use those anti chain locks on both of my bikes and I think they work great. I use red thread lock on the tiny bolts and they have never budged
I slapped the YD100 on a Kent and while still breaking it in, currently at around 50 miles, and more than happy I might try some of this on the next identical build to compare the performance in real time.
Very enticing. Sounds awesome. Did I mentioned enticing? Thanks for the ride and a happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you for doing this build, a lot of us want to have these options but nobody really has broken down how the different pieces go together it’s always port this reed that , better pipe but nothing on how they work together
Good job! What a feeling of accomplishment!
Thank you!
Beautiful port work!
Thank you very much!
I take it all back. Some footage was repeated from another video, but I am learning a lot
Haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m gonna like the video
lol Thanks :)
Oh that sound is beautiful
Epic my man!!
Thanks for this video it has made me want to get this engine because my old engine the gears seized and I fell like this will be a better engine for me
Ok let’s go, I seen the short earlier this week.
I'm getting my zada 80 soon! I'm as excited as a 2 year old!
Awesome!! Great info man!! Best motorized bike channel on TH-cam!!!!!
Sounds like a rage fueled, karate sensei chainsaw.
I love it.
Seriously, amazing work. Got it revving so high and clean under throttle response and so smooth and buttery under idle. Just great.
BTW, I'm like 90% sure that the kit you used is one of many that is actually a 66cc posing as an 80. I *could* be wrong, but it looks almost identical to the "Wai Danie" 2 stroke that I previously bought myself. If so, it makes this build even more impressive.
Spot on about the NT. IME, it's built to just give decent power across a broad RPM range on pretty much any 2 stroke. I honestly believe that those who say the NT sucks either A) don't know how to jet and needle set their carb or B) just have beefy ass engines that genuinely warrant a flat carb slide on the higher end of size. the NT has been around since the 30's for a reason. It's the classic, definitive reliable, versatile carb.
Besides, I honestly think that cylinder polishing, porting and exhaust optimisation are all way more important for making power than the carb.
EDIT: It looks like the Firestorm Zeda 80 has a taller cylinder assembly than I first thought. Assuming a piston stroke length higher than I thought too, then it's a genuine 80cc. TBF, the kit overall has a lot of obviously better quality parts than average. Based on this vid and my googling of it, I'd be tempted at current market prices.*
*If I didn't have a 100cc trail bike build already in progress.
Sounds really good.With the reeds only opening due to the draw on intake,I'm thinking the channel cut doesn't allow enough suction at idle,to open the reed enough for standard idle speed.?.As you said,'we'll see what happens with the windowed piston and the different cylinder mod'.Thanks LA. You really have shown allot of great info,and videos.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Haven't been on but glad you finally hit 50 mph
Them zedas are strong motors, my zeda 66/80 triple 40 is just like yours. I topped out at 49mph (huffy beach cruiser frame and wheels) and still had plenty of mid range to push it higher.
How is it straight out the box? I'm thinking about getting one?
Sheesh! Running the stock NT carb or didja upgrade?
@@Motorizedmonster413 mine runs 32 mph out of the box with 36 tooth sprocket. I'm also 200 lbs
I always go back to your videos to see what I did wrong, and I managed to find out what I did wrong just by watching these videos
Love the video
What you said at a minute and 20 seconds is something i consider because speed is great and all however its getting to the point where im scared to ride the bike because of how dangerous it feels
That's awesome brother I'd like to see you compare that pipe to the clone also...I've heard Kirk and a few others say a stock pipe will work better than the mz clone but I know for a fact that it won't...I've built 7 of these and I've ran every pipe they sell on Amazon except the real mz and the mz clone works better than all of them..I just recently got a new wc80 but I haven't put it on yet I had to get it cut down to fit my Cranbrook the header was too long and it hit the front tire.. can't wait to see how it does... thanks for your video brother I look forward to seeing the next one
AWESOME INFO 💯
what up LA nice job on the build! i just now got around to watching the full video,cant tell you how much i enjoyed watching you open your presents me and the guys sent.when you get older it is indeed the little things in life that matter and watching how happy you where that someone thought of you for all you do for us is the best Christmas present i got this year.keep up the great videos and thanks for all your hard work.
=|Machine|=
You guys are Awesome! Thank you so much!
Hit 51 on the nt
Congrats!
That is cool! Nice video. I think it is the real MZ65 pipe. It helps increase power.
Great video!
Thanks!
adjust the accelerator cable well, it loosens at the end that influences the results 👍🚴
Here's my theory: 2 strokes, by Nature is fickle critters, especially these cheap, Chinese items that have room for improvements in just about every aspect, and to nail every one would be a remarkable achievement indeed. Me personally, I'm of the school of thought that I should just leave well enough alone...I put an 'HP' Carb on one bike, and can't for the life of me get that thing to idle, although it pulls like a tractor, gobs of low end torque...but she just. won't. IDLE! Then I have another bike, another Zeda80, stone stock with the 'NT' Carb, that actually ran great with the stock #70 jet, and I took the needle and bottomed it out, and oh-my-GOD what a difference! No more '4-stroking', although it is still in break-in, but just resetting the needle cured a common issue with these at break-in. I DO have a spare YD100 motor I want to try to mess with Porting, etc., we shall see...
What's up my brother from LA we watch you all the time this is where I learned my dues and don'ts I balanced my crank the same way you did and it is smoother don't know the total outcome yet haven't broken in how come you don't use a high compression head
Dude I love your videos can you do a video on dioreeds or the zeda 80 dio redd kit or something but like do what ever you want! Have a super Day and remeber that you always make my day!
I have some decent experience and knowledge with the china doll motors for the past month and bit of owning a motorized bike but yesterday my motorized bike was stolen sadly I do have another build which is almost done but I want to build something like this one of those fast bikes seem Amazing
Hi ive got a question...well below your knowledge im sure...1st let me say i used to race/modify early stand up jet ski's pre reed valve...i used to take a kawasaki 440cc, have the crank trued and balanced...use a lightendaluminum flywheel, drive shaft and ss lightened prop with aftermarket ocean pro jet pump and dual nozzle..BUT I used a 550cc top end...dual ring pistons..decked 550 head...OP,westcoast, and others. I liked piston port as it was moreforgiving as long as I left enuff to hold the rings in on exhaust side porting...I also liked a kein 42mm or mekuni 44 mm carb with idle plate removed and pivot holes plugged.. I blocked off my fuel return line so all gas was available and helped idle...i forget the jetsbut is N/A for bike motors...lost the 2 stroke reservoir and only did premix...Now as far as porting a piston port motor, you need to have some to play with or a stencil kit to port it right...WHEN I went to 550 cc reed engines the pedals mist the 02 and fuel and u get a better burn, idle, and throttle response...this was the same for my 650's and 750's...they ran much better with reeds. Anyways I bought a Genesis ONYX or OneX as name changed..its 1 speed beach cruiser, aluminum frame, 29" wheels... I know there are vids on you tube showing it converted to 2 stroke, and 4 stroke motors. But the only brake is a rear coaster brake...dont want that..i want the rear freewheel and not where you just take out the centrifugal pads.. I want like bmx freewheel...and since mine didnt come with any front brakes, I want to add either rim brakes like 10 speeds and mountain bikes (problem is no hole in fork and 26" brakes are common and 29" fat tire are not as easy or cheap to find..Also want brakes in rear after going freewheel..also no mounting point btw...so was wondering IF i can set up freewheel and disk brakes front and rear AND still be able to add engine kit and drive sprocket. or where to get a freewheel hub and if i have to add rim brakes to the 29" fat tire/rim Do you have any suggestions? not looking to spend a ton of money
im not an expert but from what ive heard crankcase stuffing increases the pressure and therefore speeding up the fuel/air mixtures velocity inside the transfer ports resulting in more power in the higher rpm ranges.
9:20 those roads are absolutely gorgeous. Is there any better feeling than ripping along on a high power to weight ratio 2 wheeler on blacktop that smooth? Absolute bliss.
У меня тоже карбюратор pz19, 75 jet из стандартной комплектации карбюратора. Иглу опустил на самый низкий уровень, и закрутил обогатитель смеси до конца. И стало работать идеально в любых диапазонах оборотов, и на холостом ходу тоже. Так же стоит лепестковый клапан
Would like to see an experiment video with this pipe in particular. Would like to know if you could find a smaller id tube to step down the stinger's Inner Diameter. I've ran this pipe and from what I learned stinger length does practically nothing. I've noticed mopeds have a smaller I.D. before the silencer and their pipe's work really well with a ported motor. Changing the runner length on this pipe WILL effect performance from my findings though.
There are pipe calculator apps and you can punch in your timing numbers, displacement, rpm and HP goals and hit enter and watch the pipe dimensions change. I punched in 5hp and 6000 rpm and then 10hp and 9000rpm and the stinger changed quite a bit, along with belly diameter, cone diameter and header length. The other crazy thing is the exhaust gas temp went through the roof to get more ho at a lower rpm.
I wonder if road bike wheels and tires would make it faster it probably would but would it be worth the cost?
14:47 I love how you went from being super conservative on the throttle to feeling the need to see how fast and hard she could pull the moment that trucker obnoxiously flexed on you. It's weird that your freeway limit is 55mph but people in large vehicles blast along like this on pretty narrow, curvy roads. Glad you're such a safety conscious rider, tbh.
Come to the UK our small narrow country roads outside of towns are 60mph makes things fun let me tell you
Lol I love seeing how others record the different clearances, squish got me I Always called it "crush", for pretty much everything I used plastigage to measure. I was also wondering if thrust is an issue on that small a crank?
These motors seem rather forgiving for lazy guys like me. I can only imagine what you can get out of them with higher standards.
They are fun though, if you have the knowledge to work on motors in the $1,000+ range, you would probably have a blast squeezing lemonade out of these little toy motors :)
Hey can you please tell me where you got that piece of CNC machined motorized chain lock is it says on the package but if I'm not mistaken that's what goes under the clutch case bucking bar cover I would rather use that than the epoxy JB weld that I'm fixing to use on my Firestorm zeta just wanted to say I have been subscribed to you for quite a while now this is something I've been into for a long time but never got around until doing it here recently and have watched months and months almost six or eight months now because I want to do everything right the first time and try to get it as close as possible I really appreciate your channel I've learned so much from watching you
Awesome
I could not find the final port timings and carb video. Could you please tell me which episode they were in? Thanks
Hi, do you think the trench and booster port is more effective than a windowed piston, seems like you are getting good speeds, I wonder if the velocity is stronger…asking for a friend…Amos wants to know
Thank u
The reed keeps any unwanted blowback through the intake. I also believe it creates a little bit more atomization
You're spot on, restricts blowback to keep more pressure in the crankcase housing and makes the intake air turbulent to keep the air/gas mix blended
Na it's just more suck, and more bang
Alex you are about to get the hammer. Justice and Jayjay are correct.
I have a zeda 80 i bought in Feb, and its all good, but here lately i been second guessing to if this kit was suppose to have 2 base gaskets instead of 1, mine just came with 1(i thought maybe 1 got lost) so thats what i went with. i have no means to checking squish or none of that. One other thing i have to run with the plug in the head pointing rearward or it sounds like breakin rings and contact of something when i have the plug facing forward.but there is no signs of damage of any kind. the engine still runs like a normal stock 80 and have topped out at 40mph with no mods. any input would be appreciated, and when i get proper tools ill try some mods i have seen on your awesome channel
you should try out the kent seachange its like 90 bucks and its a kent bayside mixed with a cranbrook
So I have a 29 inch huffy millennial , with a ridgeyard 49-50cc motor on it , stock everything as it is I can probably get it up to 32 mph before its a little sketchy, I don't really feel safe without taking the wheels in to have all the spokes tightened and that kinda stuff, the way I run it it does a better job then my friends80cc he got at a garage sale which honestly needed proper assembly to begin with and it would've been better, but the question is should I be worried about anything other than the wheels I probably only need to go between 8-18 mph on the roads but if there's a way to increase efficiency, cooling , I could use some tips or upgrade suggestions for that I've been stopping every 30 minutes for 20-30 minutes because I'm afraid to run it to long , I've had no issues except the hole in the sprocket for mounting was never centered when made which caused me to compensate with spring tensioners, is this time limit fear needless now the engine is run in as long as I attend to the spokes and keep everything else in check I basically use it as an assisted pedal drive, and I'm in Daytona so everything's flat
Crazy how much the cops hate those things around here
I have a theory that the reed intakes work much like a single or duel plain intake like on a 6 or 8 cylinder auto engine for carbs that are set up for more air/fuel ratio high performance. Also is it possible to set up these 2 strokes with a venting device from the crank case?
Any advice, so anyone rear wheel get super wobbly, and the peddle chain sprocket like becoming loose? I tried tightening it back but it got loose again even tried switching to a diff wheel
i will be building my 1st gas bike. over thanksgiving. just want to mention that those spoke rims could really let go at 50 mph. i am going to be happy going 25 mph. but thinking of getting mag rims if they exist and can be included in the build. speed is fun, but please be carefull you guys. yes i am old and whiped out on a harley going only 20 mph and i was a skilled rider. still have scar on my thumb, it hurt at 20 mph.
i know this is an old video but, i looking to get into the hobby myself. will these "upgrades" work on any 80cc kit?
Nice disclaimer
Is there any reason to use the case stuffers without port work? Also, what reed valve works best? What Dremel bits do you use for port work? Thanks
I think case stuffing a piston port will give a snappy throttle response, and boost your top end speed as well. But I have not tried it yet.
here are the bits I use with my Dremel Stylo+, They work great www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YBQCWBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I love my motorized bicycle it amazes me every time I ride it it is so awesome it is dependable it starts every single time no issues gets me where I'm going never any real major problems the only problems I do have are with the bicycle itself never any motor or engine problems it's crazy I wish I would have discovered these engines years ago I wouldn't have wasted so much money on gas putting in these trucks and cars I go everywhere on my bicycle now my explorer sitting in the under a tree collecting acorns and getting squirrels nest built in it I don't even drive it anymore but I'm not selling it so don't ask
how come my zeda 100 dio goes only 30 with a 36 tooh and 40with a 28 tooth no mater how i tune it ? should i just get a phantom 85. its lie the gears in the motor itsdelf are just geared to go slow
very durability from this process
Can you Show me a seller thats Sells for 100cc Chinese A100 engine a carb Flange thats bigger than 18mm is ? The screw size Distance is 40mm
Hey man what are your thoughts on the Zeda 100cc motor as a beginner builder?
I'm still trying to figure out if that's what I really want, or just insane acceleration..
Any recommendations for a 4 stroke kit?
I def will
I have a bike with what I thought was 49cc 2-stroke engine on it but after listening to you and your videos and watching you're saying that 20-25 miles an hour is the most get out of one of those well I'm getting almost 50 miles an hour out of mine without all the upgrades like you have on yours I do have a racing carburetor and I do have an exhaust with an expansion chamber but that's it so my question is were they wrong when they sold it to me and telling me it was a 49cc because it goes way faster then 25 miles an hour
Too much fuel intake as you thought. I put the small reed for a regular 40mm intake jug. Use a double window piston, and then try tuning that carb. I don’t port my intake. I only port my exhaust 1mm top and sides. I get a little bit better bottom end and it idles better. But the more you go for top speed over mid and low end, that’s exactly what you get.
Oh and all the reed does is prevent blowback into the carb on the compression stroke. Helps with compression and gives better air fuel mix.
The idle issue you're having is something I've also experienced. In my case it was an air leak where the carb attaches to the reed valve. I couldn't get the rubber hose and hose clamps to stop leaking. As an experiment I used hot glue and tape to seal it up and had no problems idling. I also have to use a 40 pilot with a 16mm carb and the spark plug is very black and wet, but if I leaned it out any it doesn't idle. That's why I ordered a reed valve that I can simply clamp an nt carb to without the hose clamp nonsense.
Thank you for your feedback. I'll double check the fittings just in case :)
@@LAHover Even if I tightened them to the point of the clamps stripping, it didn't stop the leak. Not sure what else you can come up with to secure it. The only thing I thought of was JB weld. Good luck though.
what kind of bicycle or is it custom?
Is zeda80 better than zeda100? And phantom 85 better than zeda80?
does ebay have a zeda80 kit for a reasonable price
80kmh, thats just mad!!
You want to stuff every chance you get it increases the charge speed and volume think of it like putting a larger turbo or supercharger on a V8
You have a very informative channel. Any thoughts on the seeutech, as far as reliability and maybe the best easiest performance upgrade?
His seeutek is his longest running motor from what I remember, it's a great motor for a beginner but with any motor you want to pull the cylinder off and check for casting defects. I got one of the newer cdhpower super pk80's and not only were there no real defects, I didn't have to do much port work besides widening the ports 2mm each side and I had to raise the roof on my exhaust by .4mm and it was almost spot on with the port timing LAhover had on his motor
Thanks JayJay. Yes Jackob, my Seeutek has been and still is a solid little motor with decent power :)
Good to hear. I've had mine about 6 months now it's going strong!
I had the same problem with one of my engines not idling and I changed everything trying to fix it and it turned out to be my base gasket was leaking just a little I resealed it with some ultra grey and that was it
Thanks for the tip, with as many times as this jug has been on and off the motor this is defiantly a possibility.
@@LAHover yep that's the same thing as mine...I had taken it apart several times and needed to replace the gasket but I didn't have another one...I've got to order some...
Link to handlebars?
Shiiiiiiit dude. If this thing goes 50 plus.
I can only imagine what the 100cc version could do.
It definitely helps when people throw free parts at you. And the phantom 85 man went awal or blocked me For some dumbass reason whatever I also asked you several questions and you answered questions before an after mine but not mine I could use some help
We have a discord server linked in the description of almost every video. It's where my self and other builders find allot of help... and yes, when others help me with information and parts, it helps everyone interested in said information and parts.
I Have a Genesis OneX/Onyx with 29" rims and single gear, Ive seen a quite few converted over to 2 strokes. Before I even start, I want to convert my coaster break to free spin. In my old bmx bikes we could swap other kids over by just removing the hub brake interior metal 2 pieces and a few washers. But our bmx bikes would click when pedaling backwards and those others woulds not(maybe someone has a part.that will do it now) Next I want some of those that clamp the rim with pads for both front/rear or a disk kit. Anyone have any advice? and or has a QneX or Onyx?
I have an Onex that's been evolving into a motorized beast for a few months now. Stock wheels won't handle caliper brakes and probably not the motor either, I went with a set of Crew mag-6 wheels because I couldn't afford the ones from r4products. Those are both good strong mags that people put on adult BMX rides such as the SK big ripper, and are designed for use with caliper brakes. Those wheels are much stronger than the China junk mags sold for motorized bikes and shouldn't break. I screwed a 24t BMX freewheel on to it, but probably should have gotten a 20 or 22 tooth. For stopping I used a pair of Tektro c326 dual pivot front calipers with KoolStop mountain pads, I think they work as good as any disc or v-brake. I drilled upwards through the rear fender mounting boss to be able to put the rear brake on. Disc brake conversions on a frame not designed for them are not safe.
No chain tensioner on there at all? Is it proving to be more reliable than the spring tensioner bolted on the side of the motor?
At these speeds a tensioner is a major liability IMO
I bought the bbr 80/100 and finally got to give her full throttle and its a little faster than i thought. Think im gonna take the baffle out of the pipe and see how she pulls
One year later. Don't buy it, can't get any parts and overheats. Crank bearings are different size. Head gasket is 20 bucks, can't get a good pipe.
La hover bikes were did you get the exhaust im looking to get the same motor and would love to have one of them expansion chambers
mz65 Might be cheaper on ebay, www.amazon.com/Generic-Real-MZ65-Pipe/dp/B09M7TR63Z/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1RHOKOT2JL2TC&keywords=mz65&qid=1664134253&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjQ0IiwicXNhIjoiMi4wNCIsInFzcCI6IjEuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=mz65%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0
i soon will be producing a video here on you tube that will rock the gasbike world. YOU READ IT HERE FIRST. no kidding, It was a random choice, chosing this spot, but mark my words. it will add a totally new excitement to this hobby. I have a working prototype and it is like notrhing here on youtube or anywhere else, Sorry L A Hoverbikes for stealing some of your fire. sincerly "ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD"
Did you see my portwork video on the LD90 on Facebook? The idle issue is the boost port*
I did not sorry, I'm never on there anymore. If you upload it to your channel let me know I'll check it out :)
Thanks for the info.
LA hover what motor would you recommend that can reach 40-45mph that won’t need much work done with the setup?
Some things to consider first.
Safety: Few bicycles (if any) can safely push past 30mph without upgrades.
Yes they will do it, but you are dancing with the devil...
Weight: A 160lb rider can reach 40-45mph on a cheap motor with a few mods, but It took allot of work for this bike to push my 210lbs past 50mph.
If you are a light weight rider, most 66/80cc motors will hit 40+mph with 36t sprocket. If you are heavy, look at the yd-100 kits...
Right now the Wildcat pk80 from California Motorworks is a great value.
Maybe try a jack shaft kit more torque and higher rpms?
Good buy poor bike chain... R.I.P. lol
My primary question is are you compelled to fit a front disc brake when hitting 50mph on your mini crotch rocket? I bet the answer is yes. As far as low rpm torque and drivability are concerned, since two stroke engines operate on the principle of resonant frequency, the solution to your problem may be to make an intake tract with a three inch long neck to create more of a swirl and vacuum effect similar to the human windpipe. When used in conjunction with your carburetor and reed valve, you'll be stunned how much smoother and accelerative your two wheeled contraption will become. It should restore drivability and prove to be more street able and user friendly. Don't be surprised if you make an extra horse in the process either. Please wear a motorcycle grade helmet and a jacket just in case you become unseated. Anything over 25 mph can kill you if you collide with an immovable object. 🤓 Happy motoring.
Hey man ive been watching your whole series, i wanna port my yd100 but i dont wanna ruin it and it would be my first time, any tips?
Like with most G4 cylinders I know you can safely lift the exhaust port by 1mm and widen it by 2mm on each side.
You can also lower the intake by 1mm.
With the stock exhaust and carb this hit 42mph on my YD-100 using a 36tooth sprocket, and still had strong bottom end.
I think I also drilled 1 or 2 1/4" holes in the exhaust cap.
@@LAHover okay we will be sure to give it a shot, what is that website that you get all the information about retarding and advancing timing and tuning and such
