I'm hoping I can convert my hubs from loose ball bearings to cartridge style bearings like what a motorcycle wheel uses....MTN bikers want the quick release wheels/axle but I think for a motorized bike, the beefier bolt on wheel axles are better. Pretty sure those quick release axles aren't nearly as strong and are for weight savings & making tire/wheel changes easier.

Not my first rodeo building a motorized bicycle, I got a BT80 powered hyper 7 speed cruiser on my porch, I've had a zeda triple 40, that one was a blast stock hitting 40+, a 49cc 4 stroke on a Kent Ridgeland, plus I have a Worksman trike that I'm put a 212 predator on.

I can hit 42 with the Don Butler motor (just ported with high compression head and fake MZ, 44t) I've had it for about 2 weeks now. I am very happy. I have it on my Trek. You would like it. I had to take off the air filter and set the needle all the way down lean, with the bofeng. I'm going to eventually dig out my 21mm PWK . Have fun and be safe!

I'm putting an engine on a Schwinn Stingray with a Headstrom trike rear end. Both rear axles have traction via freewheel sprockets. This makes it so I have to pedal start the engine. I think I'm running a 25 to 16 crank to center shaft. And boy it still takes a ton of leg to start it. Sometimes it kicks over on the second try. Other times it takes a block to start.

Somebody who knows way more than me said not to buy the mz65 clone and wait until I had the money to buy a real mz65 pipe. The real mz65 header part of the pipe gradually gets larger before it reaches the expansion chamber which makes a big difference VS the skinny header on the mz65 clone....He said the clone might give a slight power increase but is pretty much just a useless noise maker.

Your on the right track but I would try fixing carb, spark etc and do timing last. Biggest issue is exhaust at open throttle it doesn't creat back pressure as it should so will never be perfect. Check engine squish with some plasticine in between piston and head. Squish between .7 to .9 will work anything more and will need race fuel.

I can verify it will break Walmart bicycles, most of the damage to the back tire spokes hub and axel bolt. Two tips to slow or even stop that from happening is don't use hub breaks or just no breaks on the back tire, and look into the upgrade hub mounted sprocket for the motor side of the bike.

Hey bud I have a question for you if you don't mind answering. I bought a JRL half moon exhaust for my 100cc non branded motor, is it any good that you know of? The original exhaust that came with my engine got broken by me loosening the cap bolt to remove the cap and check the inside of it and to add loctite on the nut. So this is why I had to get a new exhaust and the JRL 40mm half moon exhaust was only 20 bucks so I went with it over the stock exhaust. Also I would like to add that I got a high performance 100cc motor kit that resembles the YD 100 and all the parts I have purchased and changed have been for the YD 100 and they fit to a T . I have a 50mm piston, 8mm studs, and a 1 piece top end with 40mm exhaust bolt on and intake. That's why I think it's a YD 100 unbranded, same specs. It also has a ton of torque and speed.

My experience with a bike kit like this is that there are scant quality parts that you can buy for them. I've yet to find a decent coil for mine that gives a strong spark and I've even tried switching the magneto too and I can't figure out which part is the problem if not both of them. The bike only worked for the first 2 months I used it. I just bought a new carb too as well as the coil and hopefully that will fix the problem of the bike not being able to run unless I'm going down hill or have built up lots of speed befire hitting a hill. You can't trust Amazon sellers or eBay either. There are so many garbage listing that it's near impossible to find anything decent. I've also learned that these bikes need constant maintenance in order to function. By constant I mean be prepared to clean and rebuild the carb every couple months and expect the coil to need replacing every couple months too. And expect to have to buy multiple substandard or non working replacement parts, also never expect that they will come with the correct sparkplug, ever as they won't. and dont think that buy8ng the more expensive ones will be better they aren't and will be the same as the cheap ones and same w8th the red so called Racing ones they are just red and not better at all. And because the wires all have spade terminals you will have to put new spade terminals back on the wires to get a refund. I've never seen wiring that uses them on the kits but the replacements all have them. And the laminations on the magneto are usually horrendous and are normally bent or loose. They are also made from the worst grade of steel ever and are thick. So don't expect a decent spark. It's a dice roll to get lucky and relieve good parts and are rare. Why this is the case is that there's obviously only one or two maker of these kits and the one that makes the crappy ones has 95% of the listings that exist. I'd be glad to pay 400 for a quality one but due to the 400 priced ones being the same ones as the 179 priced kits you are wasting your money spending the extra. If anyone knows of a quality source let me know.

@@Hunter1st ok, i have not experimented with stacking gaskets up, they way i see it, more gaskets means more potential for leaks. but anyway if you raise the whole cylinder 1 mm, it changes everything, so where is the benefit? more compression above means less in the crankcase, ports opening earlier mean ports closing earlier, its hardly beneficial. anyway my 66cc engine is not running i had to pedal it 11 miles!

Hey there fellow motorized bike enthusiasts. Just racking my brain over this little over half throttle the engine just almost completely falls on its face. And I had just installed a new mz65 expansion chamber exhaust pipe clone. And a CNC high compression head. Right off the bat starts right up idle's great. But While I'm riding and start to give some throttle the rpm's are pretty high. But like I was saying little past half throttle it just starts breaking up . does anyone know what the problem is?

So as soon as you added the pipe, and the head it started acting up? Make sure there is nothing you may have changed during installation like a bad electrical connection, or melted wires... After that I would go back to the stock head and see what she does. If nothing changes re install the stock pipe. We need to make sure we are not having an issue with the upgrades. Also make sure your head gasket is not leaking, your squish gap is not much bigger than 1mm, and for good measurer change your spark plug.

Sooo, going back to what you said about putting the magnet in -backwards- and still having spark.... Where would this spark be? Would it be the same distance from TDC, but opposite, or would it be 180 degrees out? Asking for 'Academic' reasons....
@LAHover

At TDC the keyway on the crank should be at 1 O-clock When set on a table the keyway for the mag should also be at 1 O-clock

@@LAHover Thank you. Thinking about it some more, I realize that reversing the magnet wouldn't change the timing at all, just the polarity of the voltage generated by the magneto. (edit: no, that's not even true. It depends on the alignment of the magnetic poles to the keyway) To do what I want, I'd need a new keyway cut on the magnet stack. Argh, but that still wouldn't work, because the drive sprocket would be out of position and the chain wouldn't feed. Sorry, new enough to this community to still wonder "Can I just turn the engine around to drive a main crank freewheel rather than getting a jackshaft setup?" But no, you'd need an engine crankcase that's made as a mirror image to a regular engine. Let me get the thing built first, before I start thinking about mods, eh? :) One more thing - I'm really envious of the trails you have available to ride on. I don't know of any similar trail systems around here (New Orleans area) that are available to motorized bikes. I've ridden my regular bike on the Mississippi River Trail atop the levee, but that doesn't allow powered vehicles.

The height thing I tried all kinds of stuff but in the end I chose to change my actual riding style on the faker, it's kinda like riding an 80's enduro almost, so leaning is more scary but I got used to the height pretty quick, and I noticed you run a MTB tread for most of your builds, try MAXXIS HOLY ROLLERS, great half-half tire with awesome performance on street and dirt, and they last too, I noticed with the knobbies I lost quite a bit of turn confidence, so I switched. anyways man, sorry for the book, I just get excited when someone mentions the Fakers, I friggin love em!

When I use that magnet with my jetted carbs the bikes really haul ass for me. I want to find them magnets I have 2 builds right now that are really disappointing to me. I have ZEDA80 that just does not build the power like it should. I am gonna blame it on a bad pickup magnet.

From Ken himself: The phantom 85 There is a lot to talk about. As many of you have already seen several failures already. In this post I'll show what I have found that is wrong with the engine that is on my work bench and in my opinion what is needed to fix some of the issues to hopefully make this engine usable. Squish 1.8mm :( Soft bushing in the rod :( Intake port to wide it will snag the ring :( Crank not balanced properly :( Port timing is fair but room for improvement :) With a simple piston and rod change these issues can be fixed. With a piston and rod change it has resolved , Ring snag. Squish . A port timing is nice. Also can be used as reed or nonreed setup.
