To fine tune this even better I found if you clamp the fuel line with a vise grips and by slowly loosening the grip you can get the precise fuel to air ratio, also saving fuel too while still giving more bhp because of the weight gained with the visegrips
@@IchibanMoto loving your ingenuity what about a roller squeeze type clamp such as you see in the hospitals coming from IV bags and or it's just a roller that pinches the hose and you can have that to where it's easy access just a thought I never thought about pinching the fuels
Man I genuinely am afraid for someone who will take this literally. So well delivered you are a legend and there are just enough valid principles here I’m sure somewhat has legit tried this
Ichiban Moto To be honest, and from my experience on youtube, the quality production of videos is not so important as many people would think. As a viewer, i like seeing different contents with interesting things/ interesting perspectives/ and amazing sence of humor like yours. :) Cheers my friend
out of 1527 views so far, I'll be willing to bet everything on that over 1000 of them have been factory motorcycle manufacturers, they're probably watching it over an over, to dial that in for not production models yet, their factory racing teams. So the mechanics can be on call instead of at the tracks, the riders can make those tuning adjustments as long as they too put the reference marks on the modifications. Good work Ichiban Moto!
Loved your sparkling solder system... I thought that was the most Bad Ass thing I seen in a while. Can't wait to try this out on my Suzuki ninja. It sure will run well with this bit of kit. Thank you once again Ichiban.... I don't know what I'd do without your amazing step by step videos. One big thumbs up to you once again sir...
I shall remember that technique for silver soldering with sparklers. I've seen a video about welding with sparklers, now this! Who knew they were so versatile?
I just used a Coke can, and squeeze the sides more to restrict airflow. If I need more air, I just squeeze the other way to open it up more. Mountain Dew works if you have a yellow bike; it's important to look cool.
Like the scissors, hand drill, razor blade 😂 but seriously the cutting away the rubber inside the filter mount from blocking the intakes on carburetor is a great tip.
Bad ass video. Very important information, especially for guys that live in Alaska. Good air flow is a must because as you all know, Alaska is moose country and moose dandruff tends to block air flow on all kinds of filters and radiators.
A motorcycle buddy of mine had his Yamaha modified and he said to head to a specialist to have the head ported. They are located in Florida. When he got the head back, they had suggestions. One of the suggestions was, to use the standard airbox and standard air filter. Because, the science that goes into designing airflow through a motorcycle airbox, is the same as science that goes into designing airplane wings…The factories have worked it out so that their motorcycles with their airbox will out perform a competition.. Air boxes are designed to have a velocity stack effect. Back in the pre-1980s, there was a free launch to be had by changing the exhaust / intake.. those easy performance gains are not easy today. The factory knows more than you do, and more than a lot of aftermarket accessory makers know.. I remember one month motorcyclist magazine tested 13 different aftermarket exhaust systems, for each of the top four 600 Japanese sport bikes. that is a hell of a lot of exhaust systems. Each company had to submit 4 exhaust systems, one each for the Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha sport bike. The results were surprising only two of the exhaust systems made more power than the standard exhaust, and that was only in the 200 to 400 RPM past redline range. The average horsepower loss with each exhaust system was 6 hp. One of the exhaust systems caused one of the bikes to lose 13 hp.. all of the aftermarket exhaust systems were lighter than the factory exhaust systems, and they were less expensive than a factory replacement. but the quality was not as good as the factory exhaust system, and some of them were actually poorly made, didn’t fit correctly, had less ground clearance, some of them made the motorcycles have hesitation just off idle.. some of the bikes good night maintain a steady cruising speed, and they developed surging and steady speeds on the interstates… each of the aftermarket exhaust systems was much louder than the standard exhaust system, giving the illusion of more power.. two of the machines were actually slow down in high speed tests with certain exhaust systems on them, when shifted from 50 into sixth gear. The motorcycles would actually go faster in fifth gear than in sixth gear because of the exhaust system change… The bottom line is, the factory knows more than you do. Leave your machine alone especially if it’s brand new, because you don’t want to void the warranty. Even if it’s out of warranty and you have problems, when you take it into the shop to have it corrected, they can’t find a baseline for all of the readings they should get, because the exhaust system has been changed, or the airbox, or the air filter, or the computer has been flashed. And if you have drivability issues, starting issues, surging, hesitation, how is a dealer mechanic supposed to correct things, when everything’s been changed. Where does he start? if you are a road racing, don’t start out with a bike that has been modified to death, don’t buy a used road racing machine that is a Frankenstein, the jumps out of gear, burns oil, and has been tossed down the track. You’ll never learn how to ride if you have to keep wrenching on some clapped out dinosaur. it’s going to take you a year at least to learn how to ride on a race track. If you survive the first couple years, and you find that you are always at 100% on the gas, and the bike just is too slow, don’t modify your bike, buy a faster bike.. races are one by the person who is best on the brakes, who set up the corner for the highest exit speed, the guy who makes the least mistakes, the guy here that has the correct suspension settings. Those are the modifications you concentrate on, leave the engine alone. The factory knows more than you do
love the edits i used a ball valve when i snorkeled my lt230e 1 1/2 pvc and a 3in hot rod filter but had to much air flow so i added a costly pvc valve but with a bit of a turn it runs perfect and if the filter is wet or dirty open it more
Really ))), the point of installing pod filters is to increase the air-flow=performance, in order to do that you have to adjust fuel...what you r doing is something I did when I was 12 years old with my scooter :).
This is the bestest tunerage mod ever, well besides the custome tuner mod where you drill air holes right in your intake manifold between your engine and carb. I like to run the pod mod on full "close" and run as many air tuner holes in my intake manifold as possible. Must be 3.5mm holes in order for it to work. OH, these work really good in your exhuast so you can fully tune it too. Key "tuner" secret tricks of the trade.
total bullshit comment, air holes on the runners to the engine will cause no vaccuum to suck on the carby to then suck in petrol, you need a headcheck posting dogcrap advice mate~~~
Hey I just want to say this is an awesome video, you did a great job keep up the good work. The look of the carburetor afterwards is amazing. I would love to see a video of a custom air intake manifold.
Wasn’t sure at first if I was getting punkd with the tool cuts at first but when I saw the sparkler I lost it😂😂😂 this variator for on tie go air fuel mix change could MAYBE work for someone who changes fuel ethanol for different tunes to race vs daily or I guess if someone was switching the same carb between two bikes just to pinpoint air fuel mix lol that all I could come up with love the video tho😂😂😂👍👍👍
I made my bike work perfect with pod filter by mounting the carb angled. my optimal setup was 82.667 degrees clockwise. I just needed longer fuel line to reach the valve on the tank after this adjustment.
I cried laughing. Great welding technique and those little snippers are the best I have seen, must buy some. Great stuff, now I am off to re-jet my 1981 Katana 1100 using blue tac to stop the floats from moving once I have set them, otherwise they just leak. I tried putting the overflow tube back into the fuel cap but it kept falling out.
Would be extra badass if you could attack a cable or string to the adjustment pivot control. You could attach that cable to some kind of control on the handle bar, a knob or dial, something to twist when you need more power and turn back when you need less power. Just a thought. Keep up the helpful videos!
Hi, brilliant video, just the help I was looking for. Although the pods I have on mine are the angled type so they have a small elbow, Upon checking, due to the curve of the elbow it looks like the rubber doesn’t cover the apertures like in your video. Or would I still benefit from marking and removing those pieces? Many thanks
Hey, so you said in the video is we build this stack we wont have to touch the internals of the carbs.... do you have any videos of this working? If I am mistaken, what modifications would need to be done (relatively, understanding there are other factors involved)
OMG I had to go back and look at that one...!!! I zoomed in and thats what it looked like to me too, what I noticed 1st was that all of his tools look like they have handles made from tree branches or a wooden broom handle...I wonder where I can buy a pair of those little sizzors he cut that bolt with ?
Nice! Maybe you could do a video on how to build a Cafe Racer from any 250 Shadow or 500 Virago or 440 LTD just by cutting the back fender off and removing the front fender entirely. So Badazz!!!
HAHAHAHA ! You done good. Very good post. I have been trying to tell would be tuners this for years. Actually I never knew they were available over the counter, I just used to make them up on my own.
That's the first thing I thought, when I looked at the pod filter, the tiny hole ain't good for the carb, I modified a filter to be like a velocity stack with a filter on it. I haven't used it yet, because it doesn't fit the 20mm carb I am running now. But fits the 24mm im going to run after the engine mods. I'm swapping to a ported large valve head, with cam, and a 52.4mm jug, with pop-up piston, with the exhaust and carburator I'm hoping to get somewhere in the 9-12 HP ball park, I'm debating on whether to do this or just swap to a larger engine! Then modify it! Maybe do a stroker crank, so for about the same price I'd have the choice of 95cc or 149/171cc I could go bigger with the bore, 180-190cc, but 95/96cc is about the sain be limit for the smaller engine, but I been having carb issues, it seems to be running out of fuel at full throttle, I don't think it's a supply issue, I'm running a foam pod filter now, but switching to a pod on a pipe, hoping to get better performance, it also stumbles off idle, sometimes even killing it, but I think 81cc should perform better, it started at 49.5çc, then went to 81.3cc, I ported the head and added a performance cam, and went up to a 20mm carburator, from 18-18.5mm, with free flowing exhaust.. it may just be the CVT, instead of a transmission, eating the power.. but it dies have the carb issues, and looses when hot, or up to operating temperature, I do have a oil cooler that may help, but I haven't decided what to do yet, I can add a turbo with the larger engine, but nos kit is about my only option now, that will likely only convert my crappy ride into a pile of crap! Either way I still need to get the issues ironed out! Because it's going on another bike, I went up about 6 sizes on the jet, that's about it, I did lift the needle one slot, it still needs a bit of tuning, ( being the bogging issues) but the 24mm carb will need everything to tune it, being it's setup for a 125-150cc but are also used on 80-175cc, being I operate in the 6000-9000+rpm range, it should be fine, especially on the 88-95cc engine, being 95cc with the stroker crank! I just need more power, and speed!
Hi there Ichiban Motorcycle,thank you so much for your instructions on how to fit pod air filters, with a fab adjustable airflow valve (Coòl) Thank you friend😊😊😊
After a lot of searching I managed to find one of those drills but I can't seem to find where the batteries go. Do the American ones have different batteries from the UK ones?
Couldnt you fine tune a pod filter by gaffer taping sections of it up to reduce airflow to get the air to fuel ratio. EG if you need less air tape top cm of the pod, if you still need more tape up the top 2 cm of the pod
Yes that will work , but if your bike has the carby visible from the road, it looks queer as all get-out bro :) and you will need to tape up like 8/10ths of the pod at least - depending on how good it breathes , and chinese pods offer no protection at all LOL.
I'm trying to install ram air on a CB500T, will you please make a video showing how to? I would like the intakes to curl out of the sides like horns if possible. Thanks
I will make that video for you the next time a CB500T comes into the shop. ps. I don't like ram air because the faster you go, the leaner the A/F ratio.
@@yamahale I actually had horn looking setup on a gpx 250 - 2cyl 4stroke, with pod filters comin out the side of the bike, with the bloody CV carbs it ran too rich, and died up the ass , will need a non CV carb and should work great i reckon
my dad and I did something similar on a DOHC cb750 but we didn't cut any rubber or put any lolipops in it just used a piece of pipe that fit the outside of the carb body on it and set the filter pods out a couple inches and rejetted the carbs and they worked great, the only problem we had was it would cut out at cruising speed but it liked when you gave it some throttle other than that
Idk how i got here but this video from 3 years ago just made my day.
There are a lot of café racer dudes with badly tuned engines who have been crying out for this video ! You did it again.
The troll level of this video is phenomenal
"That's bad-ass"
To fine tune this even better I found if you clamp the fuel line with a vise grips and by slowly loosening the grip you can get the precise fuel to air ratio, also saving fuel too while still giving more bhp because of the weight gained with the visegrips
now that's something i have to try !
@@IchibanMoto loving your ingenuity what about a roller squeeze type clamp such as you see in the hospitals coming from IV bags and or it's just a roller that pinches the hose and you can have that to where it's easy access just a thought I never thought about pinching the fuels
what about partially opening petcocks that replace the old vacuum type?
instead of vicegrips
@@chazmology Think about that. Open flow to the carbs? Long as ya have no leaks works great until ya end up with vapor Lock.
Besides being a great mechanic, this dude is subtly hilarious.
the rubber coupler trick completely fixed a bogging trouble I was having with a bike i purchased recently. huge thanks for showing this!
Man I genuinely am afraid for someone who will take this literally. So well delivered you are a legend and there are just enough valid principles here I’m sure somewhat has legit tried this
I have tried it. Not the giant washer trick, but restricting air flow in the pod. 😅. I think it works.
Hey man…..😅😅. Where do I get these lollipops? Hey that washer is blocking the passages you just cut away with your scalpel.
I love your sense of humor. :) Very good. Cheers.
I don't have quality production talent like you ... so I might as well be silly :)

You are a genius ! I just now understand that those cheap pod filters are blocking the vents that lift the diaphragms on my Seven fifty... Stupid me.
Love the way you cut the bolt with a swiss scissor. LOL!
you need to watch more this old tony
The 1st time i see the video of this guy im amaze with the tools his using
I really have to find this Nickel Town Customs place... sounds bad-ass.
They have fantastic parts and customer service I shop there all the time. They have a lifetime warranty on everything in stock.
love the edits i used a ball valve when i snorkeled my lt230e 1 1/2 pvc and a 3in hot rod filter but had to much air flow so i added a costly pvc valve but with a bit of a turn it runs perfect and if the filter is wet or dirty open it more

sure saves time
Oh my...that's just like a damper on a stove pipe! Great idea! Of course, I got a big laugh out of cutting off the bolt with those little scissors...
Now to make attachment cable to the handle bars, so you can adjust on the run.
maybe an old choke lever

Hey I just want to say this is an awesome video, you did a great job keep up the good work. The look of the carburetor afterwards is amazing. I would love to see a video of a custom air intake manifold.
or you could just re-jet the carbs properly
noooooo buy a high flow airfilter and then restrict it with some washers *g*
Yup Why teach the wrong way....
maybe he jokes because he does not know the proper way to set up a carb.
ah, yea ....
Fabulous....I really must try the soldering technique used in this video
I stuck a pod on an FT 500 and it ran great !
Cool! “snuff-or-nots” on both ends!

Hack saw most of the way through, scissors to shear the tiny slither of metal connecting it
I’m completely new here, could you just fatten the fuel mixture to compensate for the added flow?
Can you please tell me the names of all the parts you used I'd love to do this !!

Can i replace my bike with a pod filter without any complicated tuning? I get a slide carb.
where do you get the "lollipop kits" this would be very helpful as i cannot find them on the web
Wonder if you could actually use something like this to instantly adjust your air fuel mix while riding up and down steep mountains.
Is it possible to fit little bit smaller carb like 250cc honda rebel to 450cc suzuki gs450? Should i tune the jets or the air filter?

i also used a 3d printed adapter to make a 70mm filter work on a 350 moto4 70-32mmm with 5mm holes drilled till it ran good
Another great video, that setup will actually work very well
Couldnt you fine tune a pod filter by gaffer taping sections of it up to reduce airflow to get the air to fuel ratio. EG if you need less air tape top cm of the pod, if you still need more tape up the top 2 cm of the pod
Yes that will work , but if your bike has the carby visible from the road, it looks queer as all get-out bro :) and you will need to tape up like 8/10ths of the pod at least - depending on how good it breathes , and chinese pods offer no protection at all LOL.
Nickle Town Custons has Lolly Pop kits also for your exhaust.
I'm trying to install ram air on a CB500T, will you please make a video showing how to? I would like the intakes to curl out of the sides like horns if possible. Thanks
I will make that video for you the next time a CB500T comes into the shop. ps. I don't like ram air because the faster you go, the leaner the A/F ratio.
well you have to run the bowl vents into the snout(s) to compensate...Kaw has been doing that for a long time
@@yamahale I actually had horn looking setup on a gpx 250 - 2cyl 4stroke, with pod filters comin out the side of the bike, with the bloody CV carbs it ran too rich, and died up the ass , will need a non CV carb and should work great i reckon
i thought you might have run out of ideas and then you go out and do somthing like this.
and totally redeem yourself!
If I added a small 12v motor to the lollipop shaft, would it act as a turbocharger?
please test that for us !
love your tool kit bruv... subscribing. Cheers
where do you find the aluminum tubing? thanks!
Shot some soda through my nose watching this vid. You Sir, are hilarious! Plus, a very informational vid as well.
Saweet! With this setup there's no need to adjust the choke to get my bike to run correctly!
6sigma sells jet kits that might even fit that badass screwdriver
Love your tools. Very informative
I’m trying to run velocity stacks on 76 750 super sport should I do the same thing
thank you YT algorithm for this dope random video
the joke is on you man,,I did that and it worked!!
OMG - I can't unsee this hackery... go away!
No joke I feel like the lollipop air flow tuner is actually kind of smart. Low key
my dad and I did something similar on a DOHC cb750 but we didn't cut any rubber or put any lolipops in it just used a piece of pipe that fit the outside of the carb body on it and set the filter pods out a couple inches and rejetted the carbs and they worked great, the only problem we had was it would cut out at cruising speed but it liked when you gave it some throttle other than that
I laff out loud at the tools alone ..... bad ass!
dude i really love your tools.....
jerex uaxis why thank you!
