- Hope you all are well and ripping it up out there. In this episode, we are going to attempt to seal the F-Zero gas frame. I’m not going to lie, I did not enjoy this project at all, but the positives will outweigh negatives for the long term. I ended up using this kit from Amazon (POR-15 Motorcycle fuel tank repair kit). If I were to do this project again, I wouldn’t do the first two steps. I would clear the tank with gas, warm water, then just use the tank sealer. This might not be the best info, but the other two processes seemed like a waste of time. Anyways, It’s a long video but the project itself was indeed long…. Enjoy!!!!
Awesome thanks for walking us thorough it bro
You bet!! Now the most fun project.... truly a pain is the butt, but it's done now 😂😂🎉🎉
Good idea to seal the tank before it starts to leak 👍😁
Seems to be a problem with these bikes so I just wanted to get it done wirh hahah. Thanks for tuning in my man!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very nice man great thinking bud keep up the great work
My man!!! Thanks. It wasn't the most fun project but I have no time in my life to have to go back and deal with a leak. 😅😅😅
Yep, this is crucial in my opinion for these frames. Just be careful with the paint yall, absolutely eats it. I know from experience lol
Agreed about the paint 🎨. It's for sure at risk. I was struggling wirh the sealer drying on my paint. Makeup wipes work very well to get the excess sealer off the frame.And paint.
Very nice bike bro sucks it leaks bro thanks for sharing it
No leaks, but I just didn't want to build the bike and maybe down the road have to fix a leak. Being a dad has really eaten into my feet time but I'm loving spending time wirh my son🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah same here brother I love being a dad best thing ever and that’s cool I just got the same frame there very nice can’t wait to build mine
@Littleevil9975 can't what to see you build it, brother man! Yep, being a father takes the cake 🎂! Ride hard, my man!!
Ant nothing to it but too do it i feel it brother
😂😂😂😂 thanks bro. I love say that. Runs true in this hobby 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why are you pouring sealer in there does it leak
@KevinTodd A few reasons, I had a lot of recommendations to just do it before I got the motor mount up. Now that I'm a dad, time is so so short, and the thought of disturbing it if there was a leak 😳 haunted 👻 me. Lastly, I've had a lot of issues with bikeberry and the rims that came with the bike.... I didn't want to have to go throw that again, so I said the hell with it, I'm sealing it 😅😅🤣🤣. Go move bad move?? I'm not sure. I'm still working on the dam thing!
Had one out of four frames leak it leaked into the seat post tube. Have had issues with two motorcycle came to the shop with problems becuse tank sealer it was coated with some red color sealer
@@2strokecarbtuningportingin187what that's what I am using red coat tank sealer never any trouble In the last 5 years except for 1 I was using klots octane booster it was eating of the tank sealer quite using klots octane booster and everything fine again in 2019 I didn't know how to fix it I got the bike for free email john force race team asking what they do for leaking gas tank that's what was suggested that's why I used it
@2strokecarbtuningportingin187 I've seen people habe issues with the red sealer, so I went this route. Hope it doesn't mess with anything. We shall see. 😅😅
I heard they crack on the cable brackets underneath the tank
Interesting 🤔 👀. I will keep my eye on that area. 🎉🎉🎉 thanks for thr info!
Sorry to see that if your tank had a hole I'm gonna tell you I got my screaming demon v2 bicycle and right off the get go I found out she had a hole called zada let them know the bike was on sale like 400 I paid 100 after arguing with them I didn't know how to fix it yet and neither did they so I Bought another a week after putting in fuel another leak another refund all of it and the front forks weren't adjustable like there sapossod to be so zada corporation sent me another bike and a set of forks by then it had contacted John force famous drag racer they told me red coat tank sealer so I rinced out the tank with acetone and cleaned it poured in red coat rocked it back and forth and drained bam sealed so I got 3 gas frame bikes for complaining lol my tank sealer was 30 bucks and 3 bikes 100 dollars so if your tank has a hole in it call who you Bought it from and tell them might get a little money back at least enough to pay for the sealer it's expensive ride safe brother
Holy cow brother. That is one heck of a deal. I'm gonna tell you this right now.I have not been a fan of bikeberry.. the rims that came wirh the bike were all jacked up!!! They told me to true them. And it would be fine... been to a few bike shops and all of them told me they were F@*#&$; up to bad to trued... Zada on the other hand has treated me very well. Sent me a new carb and a new CNC head right a way no question asked for my zada 100 max. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I don't think bikeberry will be getting another dime from me. 😂😂😂 Zada or CDH power is the way to go for frames.
@@grendelsgarage9723 grendel what seller did you buy your avenger from?
@mikemiller3303 I bought mine from Ken Hinson from Facebook. At the time, they didn't have a wed site. They are selling there Avenger 85 at now. They have a lot more goodies too!!
hybridpowerbikes.com
@@grendelsgarage9723 when you took your head off did you notice any pitting where the head and cylinder make contact reason I'm asking I Bought a stage 2 and mine has little pit holes I sent the first one back to Kelly he did another cylinder looks a little better
@mikemiller3303 That is very interesting. I want to say that I did have one little casting divit on the top of the head. I also had a nick in the case where the cylinder and case meet up in the front. Neither have caused issues. With that said, if you're having issues with their motors, maybe try smolik performance 🤔. I believe they are selling Avenger 85s as well. I can't imagine that smolik performance would let a bad motor passed them. Hope that helps, brother.
