Great video!!! One thing to mention unless someone else already commented on it. When you use thread tape always wrap it the opposite way you are threading the fitting. If not, it may try to bunch up on you and you won't get as good a seal.
Very good video. Very well done. Your instructions were very concise and straight to the point. Your workmanship is very good. Don't pay any attention to the people who is telling you you're breaking your chain wrong, there's more than one way to do a job. A lot of people seem to think their way is the only way. Thanks and have fun
thanks a million for posting this video! I'm installing my own kit on a bike ( I was just going to buy a full bike pre-built ) but I love the challenge of building things on my own, so I purchased my own kit ( a different brand ) but this video definitely helped me figure out some things I found confusing without instructions. 5/5 for the video!
i like to use inner tube rubber for the wraping of the frame before motor mount goes on it will scratch the heck out of the paint if u dont use rubber to insulate
heres a tip you should add in an annonation: make sure to use some medium strength thread locker to make sure the bolts dont come loose from those vibrations (this will save your life)
I bought a bike with an 80cc on it with a bad QDI. I plan on installing the engine on a much better bike and replacing the QDI when it is delivered. I will be using this video for a guide. Thanks for the clear and concise instructions !
glad i found this video i just bought two 66/80 cc engines for me and my g/f. this shoudl help with the basics. thanks RCexperimental. going to gewt the bikes today and use this to help with the basic stuff.
Should definitely come up with a pipe bracket with rubber grommets to help support the exhaust port and reduce vibrations in that area.. End up snapping it off one day.
Word of advice for keeping the engine mount nuts tight. Go to any auto parts store and pick up some blue thread locking compound. This is the same compound used on many vehicles to prevent nuts and bolts loosening from vibration. Also, to help with removing the exhaust later, and reducing the chance of breaking an exhaust stud off in the engine, while you are at the parts store get some anti-seize compound and apply it to the threads of the studs. Good job with the video though, very well laid out.
great vid man pretty cut and dry. I like how everything is broke down simply.And you can tell that one guy a real man isn't as good as a real ganster cause a real gangsta dont gotta flex nuts ,cause a real gangsta knows he's gott'em keep up the good work man peace
Great vid . The only thing you did wrong was you wrapped the thread tape the wrong direction . It would be a problem on a pressurized water or gas line but no big. Deal here.
For the clamps, instead of checking periodically, you can use a thread locker (e.g. blue loctite) or you can buy those fancy nuts with the rubber o-ring attached that absorbs shock and prevents loosening.
This is THE best video on the subject by far. Straightforward and easy to follow. I'm curious how loud it is and whether it's possible to improve on the muffler.
@KingBlooh kits are around $160 i think, and stock you'll max out at about 55 kmh. There are a number of ways to make it go faster, get an expansion chamber, an upgraded carb, and get a gear shifting kit. You could go 70 or faster with some simple upgrades.
don't forget to put a muffler strap around the lower half of the muffler and wrap the strap around the bike's frame and bolt it tight. the engine vibration will wiggle your muffler loose and break the muffler stud bolts if you dont do this.
mounting an engine on my red cranbrook here in a few weeks, so excited, was going to go with an electric one but you can only get 10 miles on a single charge, and its more expensive, decided to go with the gasoline one because you cant beat 125 to the gallon.
excellent video, easily the best and most detailed guide iv'e found so far and can generally be applied as a great guide for these types of motors in general.
Thanks for the info, I would like to say after taking the back wheel off, use the metal half circle on the cut half circle rubber's cut line... took me an hour to figure that one out.
@wesleyjudd The chain tools you get for 5 bucks at walmart (or wherever else) are made for bicycle chains which are smaller, these chains are larger like something you would use on a motorbike. Unless you go to a motorsports store I doubt you could even find a chainbreak large enough, and if you did it would be much more than $5.
That chain tensioner may need to be modified to fit some bikes. It has the tendency to wiggle around, using a cut piece of car tire as a spacer works well.
Awesome vid. I wish you did not rush the end. The carb and throttle cable are the harder videos to find. As well, did you fit your chain intentionally before putting on the bracket?
I have a problem, after putting the cable in the carburetor and start the engine, it increase to full rotation speed, and I can't control them. I installed everything as in the video, when I go to give gas, I see that it moves the plastic sheath. how can I do for resolve? Thank you!!
Nice vid just installed everything on my bike. But I think I got a problem is your motor running in the begining of video. When I slow down or let go of throttle and stop so does my engine my engine doesn't stay on while I'm at stop sign or whatever unless I hold the clutch an a little gas at same time if just holding clutch still shuts off. Do you know how to keep motor running like yours before you walked up to it in the beginning I cant just put on kickstand an walk away with it still running
thanks you are very precise and descriptive i love how you explain things i dont have all those tools but darnit i understood what you said now the hard part going out and buying all those tools lol thanks alot seriously i think this company i got my engine from got a little jealous of you and finally put out there own dvd i'm waiting on it now.. i'm almost home still tweaking... i'll let you know been on it all day today
The inside of my bikes frame is a bit too small (Its some cheap-ish 26" Next Powerx from walmart, but its been very reliable and sturdy) and I was wondering if I could mount the motor off to the side by an inch or two or possibly some other location due to some suspension that goes through the frame. I'm willing to get creative, but will not buy a name frame (those things cost more then a new bike!).
hey im going to get one of these kits next week,u make the assembly look so easy! i will be using this video and the manuel to build my baby,plus how far is the max i should be riding at one time,im thinking of riding from my house to work and work is downtown is about 10 kilometers is this a good idea? thx great vid buddy appreciated
great vid would one of these fit on a bmx i want to put treaded tires on and make a compact motorbike but would i still be able to pedal it around without the police pulling me for it
The 80cc engine is actually a 66cc engine. The "80cc" engine is the largest you will find due to the fact that anything 100cc's or higher is considered a motorcycle. Any engine under 100cc's is considered a moped and has fewer restrictions on it. If you are wanting to make the 80cc bigger/faster, it can be modified, or you can even bore out the piston cylinder (professionally) for a larger piston. It will not last as long, but it can be done. With mods done, the 80cc/66cc can go up to 50 MPH.
man you need to go to like a tractor supply store or even cyclegears website and buy a universal chain breaker/riveting kit....they save you time and the use of masterlinks!
@eduardosantacruz How many tanks have you put in it and how fast did you ride during break in? Also, if you feel like there isn't enough power, make sure the choke is all the way down. The next step would be to ride at full throttle and turn the gas off. If the bike speeds up before it means too much gas and too little air are going into the chamber. If this is the issue, reply and I can tell you how to fix it.
How do you wire the kill switch? My kit has a blue wire,a black wire and a white one coming from the engine and a black one and a red one on the kill switch I would figure black to black but I don't know abourt red to blue. Thanks for this video b/c the instructions that come with it lack half the steps, well done!.
@RCexperimental the muffler mod boosts more torque and top end since theres more flow also the ports etc, i didnt do much to them since i just cleaned them up thats all but mostly did porting on the muffler
Use blue 641 Hankel Loctite on the engine mount bolts for safety. That is what we use on real motorbikes, i would have thought it would be paramount to pass over this technology for use on these too.
@eduardosantacruz You could do that, however, fresh air leeks are bad for the engine. I would suggest getting an upgraded carb. I am currently woking on solving this problem and I will post a video showing how to fix it as soon as I figure it out.
I agree with 'EnhancedNightmare' I don't like the positioning of the muffler, either. It kind of scared me away from motorizing my bike, seeing as how all the systems I've seen, use this kind of setup. I think I might try electric, instead. At least I won't have to worry about mufflers, then.
@RCexperimental if you made a mistake on the voice over maybe you could use the annotation function on youtube to give people a heads up on the simple mistake? just a suggestion :) not that i think the washer order will make a huge difference in all seriousness.
@CixDeuce Sorry for the late reply, try tightening the bolts on the sprocket in a star formation like how you would tighten the lugnuts on a car, also make sure the bolts are VERRRRY tight.
i had to clean up the ports in mine and etc since its very bad quality castings also ported my muffler after taking the guts out and drilling bigger holes then welding the innards back in
The right way to install the nuts is the regular washer, then the split ring, then the nut. The split ring hast be between the regular washer and the nut to be effective, otherwise its doing nothing. other then that its good
I noticed you had you sprocket pointing in I did that at first and the chain rubbed the tire so I faced it out and it still looks as if it two close to the tire anyideas maby a nother rubber ring to get it to go futher out from the tire I have a drub brake on the bike I have to figure how to get that out fare enough but I just dont want the chain to rub the tire causeing a big problem latter but it might be my fram hard to tell anyides of how to get it to clear the tire
Hey.. how much would a motor like this set me back?.. and how fast can and 8occ take you?... and would there be something that strong to fit into a Schwinn Stingray?.. lol, lots of questions, but would love it if you could answer all my questions... A motored bike has always been my dream, and as I'm getting older, I've had three cars, and no bike :( lol
@30GB What kind of HP boost did that give you? If you would be able to send me some pics and a description of how you did it, I will try it as well and make a video showing how to do that.
Did Daemon Bikes go out of business? I can't find their website. I'd like to buy the rear sprocket and mounting hardware for a 4 wheel drive/four wheel steer pedal powered machine I'm making.

Smart dude, your parents must be proud of you. Thanks for your help on how to put the motorized bicycle together.

Dorit, we need to thank this guy for putting this video on you tube. It has been very useful.
heres a tip you should add in an annonation: make sure to use some medium strength thread locker to make sure the bolts dont come loose from those vibrations (this will save your life)
I recommend using a threadlocker like loctite to keep the nuts from loosening from vibration.
Now i can run away from home.
lol i was thinking the same thing

Bloody knuckles at 4:17....

One of the most helpful tutorials ever. Thank you very much for creating this, bud!
Periodically check the bolts to make sure they have not loosened.
Or, just use threadlock.
That's what a clutch is used for (Free wheel) some people and their comments, first time biker! Thumps up.
This is THE best video on the subject by far. Straightforward and easy to follow. I'm curious how loud it is and whether it's possible to improve on the muffler.

i had my bike done before watching this... wish i had seen it before
hey mate, could you tell me more specifically how to wire up the coil to the kill switch. so what colour wires go to witch?
cheers mate
mounting an engine on my red cranbrook here in a few weeks, so excited, was going to go with an electric one but you can only get 10 miles on a single charge, and its more expensive, decided to go with the gasoline one because you cant beat 125 to the gallon.
Nice instructional video. I knew you are in Canada as soon as I saw the Canadian Tire tools.
Can you do I video on wiring?
thanx so much, you are very helpful and have stopped me from some doing some very wrong things with my project. You are a smart young man god bless
best motor installation guide on youtube helped me a lot thank you!
excellent video, easily the best and most detailed guide iv'e found so far and can generally be applied as a great guide for these types of motors in general.
Thanks for the info, I would like to say after taking the back wheel off, use the metal half circle on the cut half circle rubber's cut line... took me an hour to figure that one out.
you can dremel the chain tool to fit the chain instead, the tool will still be usable for normal bike chain afterwards
Hi timmy , Nice vid, best i have seen so far most excenllent as we say old school
nice instructions. thank you.doesnt seem too bad to install.
@wesleyjudd The chain tools you get for 5 bucks at walmart (or wherever else) are made for bicycle chains which are smaller, these chains are larger like something you would use on a motorbike.

Congratulations on the awesome vidio. I had one question can I put this on a 29 inch rimed bike
This video was extremely helpful in many ways. Thanks!

how can I do for resolve?
Thank you!!
Looks good. Great video.
What did you do with th front brake lever? I saw it was removed for the clutch lever. Is the front brake functional?
Thank you so much for this video. Just installed mine and you were a huge help. I'll post some video and some tips of my own soon. Again, thanks!
wow thank you for the video you did a " Excelent video " keep up the good work ,
you have been a BIG help to our family
@senses71 No problem! Glad I helped and thanks for the positive comment!!
Nice vid just installed everything on my bike. But I think I got a problem is your motor running in the begining of video.

where can I buy the Engine? and how much is the engine in deamons?
tnx your reply is highly appreciated.
Best regards from the Philippines ;)
great job on the vid im looking into getting a kit for my son you made it look easy.
thanks you are very precise and descriptive i love how you explain things i dont have all those tools but darnit i understood what you said now the hard part going out and buying all those tools lol
thanks alot seriously i think this company i got my engine from got a little jealous of you and finally put out there own dvd i'm waiting on it now.. i'm almost home still tweaking... i'll let you know been on it all day today

thanks for the video it's been helpful so far. But cutting the chain proved to be much simpler by using a punch, a hammer, and a nut.
man you need to go to like a tractor supply store or even cyclegears website and buy a universal chain breaker/riveting kit....they save you time and the use of masterlinks!
Thanks I will use your installing guide.
Nice job. 80 ccs seem kinda much for a bike, but I'm sure it's fun!
Good for the money. Replaced a few things here and there
@eduardosantacruz How many tanks have you put in it and how fast did you ride during break in? Also, if you feel like there isn't enough power, make sure the choke is all the way down.

great video... How fast can you go?
thanks a heap, i have to buy new bolts 6 of the 9 broke thats not good but im glad i havent driven it yet lol still working on it...
How do you wire the kill switch? My kit has a blue wire,a black wire and a white one coming from the engine and a black one and a red one on the kill switch I would figure black to black but I don't know abourt red to blue.

good job man iwill do this work in summer iam from Egypt
Very helpful video!! Now i'm thinking about buying a engine kit!
How much it cost ?
Use blue 641 Hankel Loctite on the engine mount bolts for safety. That is what we use on real motorbikes, i would have thought it would be paramount to pass over this technology for use on these too.

Loctite Blue threadlocker stops the nuts from vibrating loose. Nail polish or paint does in a pinch.
really good job how is the bike
nice video, did you have any trouble aligning the rear sprocket? is it fairly easy to tune the carb?
I agree with 'EnhancedNightmare' I don't like the positioning of the muffler, either. It kind of scared me away from motorizing my bike, seeing as how all the systems I've seen, use this kind of setup. I think I might try electric, instead. At least I won't have to worry about mufflers, then.
Good job champ. Ha fass it go? Fuel consumption?
There is a three wires from the engine... Black, blue and white.. Where to connect the white wire? What is use for the white?
I used an old garden hose.It if perfectly around the small part of the frame.
this is a valuable piece of knowledge; thanks bud
@RCexperimental if you made a mistake on the voice over maybe you could use the annotation function on youtube to give people a heads up on the simple mistake? just a suggestion :)
not that i think the washer order will make a huge difference in all seriousness.
@CixDeuce Sorry for the late reply, try tightening the bolts on the sprocket in a star formation like how you would tighten the lugnuts on a car, also make sure the bolts are VERRRRY tight.
good for you though i hope your experience with them is better than mine was....they are pretty awesome when they do work though :D
i had to clean up the ports in mine and etc since its very bad quality castings also ported my muffler after taking the guts out and drilling bigger holes then welding the innards back in
i would like to use my gears on my bike , what alternatives throttle options do i have to allow me to do so?
im thinking about buying a kit like this for my mountain bike
+Bryan Reyes If it's a full suspension, you may need a rear friction drive kit instead.
The right way to install the nuts is the regular washer, then the split ring, then the nut. The split ring hast be between the regular washer and the nut to be effective, otherwise its doing nothing. other then that its good
id suggest star pattern tightening at 3:46
The best video guide ive seen so far
>Has audio all the way up
Please stop whispering into the mic, you're turning me on.
Might be a dumb question but what if the chain pops whilst riding?
I noticed you had you sprocket pointing in I did that at first and the chain rubbed the tire so I faced it out and it still looks as if it two close to the tire anyideas maby a nother rubber ring to get it to go futher out from the tire I have a drub brake on the bike I have to figure how to get that out fare enough but I just dont want the chain to rub the tire causeing a big problem latter but it might be my fram hard to tell anyides of how to get it to clear the tire

Did Daemon Bikes go out of business? I can't find their website. I'd like to buy the rear sprocket and mounting hardware for a 4 wheel drive/four wheel steer pedal powered machine I'm making.
I have seen a few of these videos......
but I never hear What engine kit is used and or recommended.
This is better then MotorVelo site cool vid dude should it watch this before lol.
Are you still using this engine kit? How did it hold up?
You don't show which wire you plug into which wires.
Bikeberry doesn't show it either.
No video shows which wires go into which wires from the cdi.
That Guy doesnt it say in the instructions it possibly came with
@techstuff76 50 stock, up to 80 if you upgraded parts and got a shift kit
a good ol flathead screwdriver and a hammer does just fine
Very good video.
Very well done.
