I'm an old machinist 34 years in the trade and I have enjoyed your projects for a long time now...and I have been impressed with your engineering skills as well as welding ability but I have watched you wrestle with machining things ...I'm happy to say you have made great strides in that area as well now ...Nice work !

I'm a gear technician, and I've been machining gears for 36 years, mostly spiral bevel hypoid gearing, but also some parallel axis gears like you're making. You typically want .005-.006" backlash between your gears, and the idler gear is usually adjustable between the fixed axis gears. A sliding arbor on a T slot would work. Good video, and keep challenging yourself!
Also, I just wanted to say that you have come a long way from small jacked up carts super slow to being able to build anything you set your mind to. From fluxcore wire to mig and tig. Also your projects are freaking awesome now. Your ability to work from a shed blows my mind. I can't wait to see you get your shop. I believe you will be limitless. Hat's off to ya buddy.
@eriklarson9137 where i live, they aren't that common. From time to time, a clapped out will appear for a premium. But still i still like it just hurts a little
Hurts me too man. I am not a fan of this whole electric motor thing and I'll never own or operate anything EV. If it's not running on dino juice I don't want any part of it. But I guess it's pretty cool what he's doing just not my thing.
Hate to say it but with the speed battery tech is advancing now because of the war between EV car manufacturers for your $ these types of bikes are the way of the future and i can see most gas bikes gone in another 20yrs or so.

This was my favorite video you have done. I can see your confidence growing, i see you not worrying as much about what your viewers are going to say. Your tools are getting better, your knowledge and experience is growing. All is all you are killing it. Keep it up. May god bless your future.
I love the idea of using the gears and clutch. Having a clutch is such a huge part of getting a bike through corners fast. I'm definitely looking forward to this project!
I remember about 10 years ago I used to watch a kid on TH-cam who made all kinds of sketchy motorized things from whatever junk he could find lying around. I wonder what that guy's doing now. 😉 (Be proud, you've come a long way!)
It's amazing the vast amount of tool types you have, I've been putting my shop together little by little for years now and I clearly have a loooooooong way to go. you have everything a guy could want in your shop. I don't really think people know or appreciate the amount of time, effort, and MONEY it takes to set up a good shop like you have, not to mention the brains to even put it all together and know what you need. You sir have earned yourself a new fan!
I'm properly impressed with this challenge! I'm a toolmaker with 25 years of time behind me and the effort you just put into something in order to just teach yourself something is worthy of massive respect. 👏👏👏
Electric is here to stay, once I see you are tackling more electric projects. Definitely watching this one closely with lots of interest (and enjoyment)
An easier way I would have made this if you have to have the trans is to put a bevel gear on the crankshaft and mount the motor where the head goes? With the motor facing into the crankcase with some adapter? Final result might look similar to stock engine if the heatsink doesn't look too weird.
I have followed you for a few years, and I find it impressive that you started out with a lady that you built yourself, and it progressed all the way into a competent machinist
Brilliant attitude and effort. Lets hope this build is reliable and goes amazing. Thankyou for all your time and work and keeping the fans entertained ❤
30:23 *Once it's ready, it's best to immediately burn it until it's hot and then soak it in salt water before using it so that the quality of the gear is as strong as steel 👌* 31:26 *Not only is it easy to order and buy the gear we want, but here you give an example of learning how to make gear to educate the audience who want to learn to use a lathe, good job Chris..*
This is the first time I've ever seen your videos and I got to say you're doing exactly what I wish to be doing I'm sitting here at work in front of my machine finish grinding a huge Arbor and as I make passes back and forth it's been a lot of fun and a learning experience watching you make your gears and what not.
I still don’t understand how you don’t have Millions of subscribers!!! You are literally a genius at figuring things out! Thanks for the videos they make my week easier knowing your next video is on Sunday night! Thanks!
Really great eatch, every time I see that lathe on action and your ability to yse it improve I thank the generous donation. Another cool approach to maybe consider machining side plates,as crankases to take the original bearings, gear shafts clutch basket, crankshaft output gear, mount electric motor etc.
You never cease to impress with your ability to research, design, and create. You sure have come a long way in the last few years. I very seldom miss a video. Great job on the gears so far. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍
This was really entertaining ! Electric conversions are awesome and you doing great job, I hope those new gears won't brake apart at high rpm...execellent idea !
Ive been watching your videos since you first had the series on your homemade lathe. It inspired to try and make one of my own. You have serious skills in the world of machining and I respect your humble approach towards learning. Keep it up!
Slt mon frère comment vous allez j'ai beaucoup apprécié toutes les vidéos que tu à partager félicitations et courage je te suis depuis Togo one love man
I can not envision how you are going to lubricate your new gears without also lubricating your entire electric motor's exterior. And wondering about motor cooling in that thick aluminum tube. Enjoying the adventure though! Thanks for taking on new challenges!
38:08 I had that squeaking noise on smaller mill and it was an easy fix, it was caused by the lead screw rubbing against the (in your case) green block that holds the bearings for the lead screw, it turned out there was no bearing between the lead screw shoulder and the green bearing block so it squeaked when turned in one direction and not the other. I put a hardened thin washer between the green block and the lead screw shoulder.
Great job so far. The only thing that I see that you haven't mentioned yet is air flow around the elec. motor. The 3/8 plate will give maximum strength but will in turn that wide of plate around the motor will hold heat and eventually cook your motor. Maybe cut out windows in the plate for flow thru cooling. Excellent work so far.
O HELL YES.... He's revisiting the electric dirt bike. 😃👏👏👏 Thank you RBW... 😊👍❤ Edit: A little surprised he hasn't found the Electro and Co 72v YZ85 and YZ250 conversion kits yet... It's the same motor and stuff but they have the mounts and stuff too so it would be easier to convert. Edit 2: This Old Tony did a great video on gear cutting and heat treating... He gives a lot of good information on how to cut gears, the correct cutters and how to harden and heat treat them, I suggest if you're interested in making gears at home that you check it out. 😁👍
Such a great video!! I luv that you push yourself… I like learning and seeing new things. I see some channel’s in this space and they just booger weld junk together and sad enough they have more subs, perplexing. 🤷♂️ I am happy for them but it amazes me you don’t have more!!! Good job brother!!
very cool ... next one build a ring&pinion system to replace the cylinder and keep the case as stock as possible THAT would be a work of art!! not that what your doing now is any less very clever..
Great content Chris! The new project looks like one you will get a lot of usage out of. Lots of folks can throw money at a project, not many have the skills and mindset to DIY from from to back.
Yesssssssss, not sure if the gears are needed but a freakin clutch is what's missing in all commercial electric offerings. Nobody seems to understand the control a clutch is giving to the rider. Awesome build project, really skillfull and impressive. And finally a Suzuki without kickstarter 😂
I wish i could build stuff like you do, I have quite a few projects that i have built myself using simple tools but I'd like to get more advanced. I have been watching you for quite a long time. You have been a major inspiration for me. Edit: Im loving the electric vehicles you build as well.
I’m sad to see a good running dirtbike get taken apart when there’s so many non running donors to choose from. But in the name of science I’m here to learn. Love these videos.
Amazing, you really blow my mind with what you can do. Truly inspiring content. Been watching your channel for a long time now, keep it up! Amazing work.
I love this idea because this removes the problems that e dirtbikes have with destroying themselves with low speed riding. with even a little transmission like a 3 speed gearbox you can pop it into whatever gear you need so that you can have the motor run at a medium rpm instead of drawing 10x the current draw limit of the batteries, esc, and motor in an attempt to make any good power at extremely low motor rpm's.
Tip for the broken carbide. It helps to drill or turn a shallow pocket into the business end of the set screw and inlay a piece of soft metal like brass or aluminum.
This is a great project, I love That your not afraid to try idears out your skills are never ending and your willing to put the work in so that your projects are a success I love your videos keep them coming man
one thing I notice is the metal shroud around the motor. you may face some problems with it due to Lenz's law if its aluminum. even though aluminum is not magnetic a passing magnet can induce eddy currents which can cause the aluminum to generate a magnetic field which can cause a loss of performance and may cause the motor to cog/act odd. one thing you can do to prevent eddy currents is to cut slots in the aluminum. I don't know much about Lenz's law but I know how big of a pain in the butt it was for me.
@mondude9754 thanks I'll look him up. it sounds intriguing. I've not heard a lot of people talking about it even though it can cause such an impact. Something so consequential should not be esoteric
@@zsds8455 yeah it was a real problem on his bike, and if I remember correctly, the aluminum around his motor was only around each end of the motor and the middle was clear yet it still had the issue
I tuoi lavori sono spettacolari, hai grandi capacità tecniche e manuali...mi piacciono tutti i tuoi progetti anche quelli elettrici ma sono un grande tifoso dei motori termici specie quelli dei fuoristrada comunque tanti complimenti.
Love the electric conversion content, you got me into wanting to try a swap for myself. I’m currently working on converting my 1990 Yamaha YSR50 to electric. I ordered a QS138 70A motor, Votol EM260 controller and a 76v 48ah battery from Electro and Co and should hopefully see a peak of 28KW. It’s going to be street legal so I’m upgrading all the lights and horn to a 12v system (previously 6 volt) using a DC-DC converter and an Ultima Plus wiring harness. Keep up the great work!
Brought a tear to my eye seeing a RM125 being pulled apart for a project, so,hard to find any 125 2T bikes now days. After seeing the booger welds on the frame and mounts. Not so hard. (would love the engine for a kart)
Not a fan of electric vehicles, I can't see this as the future. However I love engineering, man you are pushing yourself cutting your own gears! Great work.
I love it when people say they can't see electric vehicles as the future. Electric vehicles were around BEFORE the internal combustion engine. The only reason we went with gasoline instead was because they were cheaper.
Well done ! you made a fantastic gear there ! my first attempt of gear making was much less sophisticated.... a fly cutter on a 3 in one lathe /mill from HF.... it took days !!!! but the gear is in my logan lathe even now 7 years later ! i made the cutter out of a flat file...believe it or not and it worked great.... the gear is aluminum but as I guessed it would last me ages and it has !
new intro is great. that demo gear is out of a lawnmower transmission. a peerless 820 or 700. they are fully hardened and will shatter, causing your racing mower to hit the wall at great speed.
I've machined a LOT of involute gears and splines. You need a broach, gear hob, or milling cutter. For a single gear, wire edm is a good method. Cut straight to the end, call Boston Gear and order the gear you need.
Absolutely amazing I been wanting to do this for a while now I own the QS165 built a KTM converted to electric with FarDriver ND72680 I built my own battery as well I’m absolutely stunned how well everything turned out wish I had a lathe man I could do so much I absolutely love all of your content I have seriously watched every single episode way more than once keep up the amazing work man. I’m 41 I been doing this same stuff almost since I could walk my brain don’t work any different lmao can’t wait for next clip thanks Man
Rotating the transmission about the countershaft might make room for the motor down low. I have 2 of the 93 to 95 RM125 engines with one disassembled for rebuild to stare at for a while to see if there's harder hard way. Well done on your clutch and trans retention project selection.
Bro this is such a radd project. Love that you’re doing this way. This is going to pave the road for the e-bike future. Simply just recycling blown engines and making a beastly e-bike with gears lol. Hell yeah bro. Your a absolute legend 🤘🏽✊🏽🤙🏽
You should make a video where you talk all your machines, why, where did you buy them and what do you think of them and what would you get to possible to replace them.
Probably to late to help with this but watch Clickspring if you don't already. Best I've seen at explaining how to make gears, his are usually smaller but still and how to harden parts etc. Brilliant so glad you decided the hard way to push yourself to learn.
Love your channel and your projects. You should check the tourqe specks on the gear box and what tourqe the electric motor puts out and adjust accordingly so you don't ruin all your hard work. Food for thought. Good luck and keep on keepin on
I'm an old machinist 34 years in the trade and I have enjoyed your projects for a long time now...and I have been impressed with your engineering skills as well as welding ability but I have watched you wrestle with machining things ...I'm happy to say you have made great strides in that area as well now ...Nice work !
Yes Sir,..absolutly. He is the perfect son in low for a old machinist like me to.
I'm a former tool maker and mechanical engineer who worked as a steel machining engineer. He's not doing any engineering.

That dude Tom Stanton on TH-cam had a problem with the lenz law on his homemade e bike I completely forgot about that
@mondude9754 thanks I'll look him up. it sounds intriguing. I've not heard a lot of people talking about it even though it can cause such an impact. Something so consequential should not be esoteric
@@zsds8455 yeah it was a real problem on his bike, and if I remember correctly, the aluminum around his motor was only around each end of the motor and the middle was clear yet it still had the issue
Nice to see u challenging yourself, to me thats what life is all about!
The gear machining was pretty impressive my dude!
I tuoi lavori sono spettacolari, hai grandi capacità tecniche e manuali...mi piacciono tutti i tuoi progetti anche quelli elettrici ma sono un grande tifoso dei motori termici specie quelli dei fuoristrada comunque tanti complimenti.
Love the electric conversion content, you got me into wanting to try a swap for myself. I’m currently working on converting my 1990 Yamaha YSR50 to electric. I ordered a QS138 70A motor, Votol EM260 controller and a 76v 48ah battery from Electro and Co and should hopefully see a peak of 28KW. It’s going to be street legal so I’m upgrading all the lights and horn to a 12v system (previously 6 volt) using a DC-DC converter and an Ultima Plus wiring harness. Keep up the great work!
You’re videos are doing really well congrats
Very nice machine work my friend.
I'm part appalled al what you've done to such a beutiful 2 stroke engine but very excited tk see how this turns out! Great work!!
Brought a tear to my eye seeing a RM125 being pulled apart for a project, so,hard to find any 125 2T bikes now days. After seeing the booger welds on the frame and mounts. Not so hard.
(would love the engine for a kart)
Not a fan of electric vehicles, I can't see this as the future. However I love engineering, man you are pushing yourself cutting your own gears! Great work.
I love it when people say they can't see electric vehicles as the future. Electric vehicles were around BEFORE the internal combustion engine. The only reason we went with gasoline instead was because they were cheaper.
That’s gonna be a crazy build !!!
I'm intrigued. Looking forward to part 2.
Well done ! you made a fantastic gear there ! my first attempt of gear making was much less sophisticated.... a fly cutter on a 3 in one lathe /mill from HF.... it took days !!!! but the gear is in my logan lathe even now 7 years later ! i made the cutter out of a flat file...believe it or not and it worked great.... the gear is aluminum but as I guessed it would last me ages and it has !
I have built custom electric e-bike and I like more the electric one over combustion engines. Eagerly waiting for the next episode of your build.
Man I love your content Chris but when you are machining and creating are by far my favourite videos love it 🥰🥰
new intro is great. that demo gear is out of a lawnmower transmission. a peerless 820 or 700. they are fully hardened and will shatter, causing your racing mower to hit the wall at great speed.
Love the build! Hopefully not necessary, if any issues with the gear set, look into getting a gear drive timing set. GL
I have dreamed of doing this exact same thing! Awesome video!
your work is always fun to watch i admire it !
I've machined a LOT of involute gears and splines. You need a broach, gear hob, or milling cutter. For a single gear, wire edm is a good method. Cut straight to the end, call Boston Gear and order the gear you need.
Great job on cutting that gear
very interesting, maybe you will try in the future build some kind of electric reverse tilting trike
Absolutely amazing I been wanting to do this for a while now I own the QS165 built a KTM converted to electric with FarDriver ND72680 I built my own battery as well I’m absolutely stunned how well everything turned out wish I had a lathe man I could do so much I absolutely love all of your content I have seriously watched every single episode way more than once keep up the amazing work man. I’m 41 I been doing this same stuff almost since I could walk my brain don’t work any different lmao can’t wait for next clip thanks Man
Rotating the transmission about the countershaft might make room for the motor down low. I have 2 of the 93 to 95 RM125 engines with one disassembled for rebuild to stare at for a while to see if there's harder hard way.
Well done on your clutch and trans retention project selection.
NEW RATHER B WELDING UPLOAD LETS GOOOOO
Bro this is such a radd project. Love that you’re doing this way. This is going to pave the road for the e-bike future. Simply just recycling blown engines and making a beastly e-bike with gears lol. Hell yeah bro. Your a absolute legend 🤘🏽✊🏽🤙🏽
Let’s Goooooo!!!!! Next time a Cvo motorcycle!!!!!!!!!!!
You should make a video where you talk all your machines, why, where did you buy them and what do you think of them and what would you get to possible to replace them.
Nice job on the gear!
Estas muy loco!! Cosa que me encanta!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Probably to late to help with this but watch Clickspring if you don't already. Best I've seen at explaining how to make gears, his are usually smaller but still and how to harden parts etc. Brilliant so glad you decided the hard way to push yourself to learn.
Love your channel and your projects. You should check the tourqe specks on the gear box and what tourqe the electric motor puts out and adjust accordingly so you don't ruin all your hard work. Food for thought. Good luck and keep on keepin on
This is a cool project!
that motor/trans layout is soooo similar to a radio control car transmission. so cool
