Testing the pre ported G4 motorized bike cylinder from California Motorbikes.
How does it stack up to my own port work?
Ported for a reed valve

8:30 in the video I hope no one ever goes through what I have been through the last 4 months. I finally crashed my bike after 5 years of riding a motorized bicycle. It was because of me losing sight of the fun of just riding and just chasing power. I got my first ride to the hospital in an ambulance and got my first surgery 2 months later. The most intense pain of my life period. 3 fractures and 3 torn tendons will do that. I will be in recovery for a while. It did a massive power wheelie 98.5cc shift kit bike and bucked me off landing on my left knee. Please be careful anyone reading this lol don't be like me😅

@joneserupinsmoke9161 Its a custom one off build i made. I started with a cdh 110cc case and Cylinder. (They suck right out of the box but have the most potential out of any cast china case) Put a 40mm crankshaft in it. Purchase a bigger 4 stroke sleeve that I modified to match the ports of the original Cylinder without the intake port and had it sent out to be machined bored and honed out to 56mm. Designed it to work with a 56mm chainsaw piston and used a custom smolik performance billet head and turned it into a true case reed intake engine. I did a custom intake 22mm carb and modified a mz65 pipe.

The bad thing about air cooled V-twins is the rear cylinder always wears out faster than the front. Which is why Ducati made a L- twin engine years ago so both cylinders get airflow.

@@marcusprince3999 That'd be cool & help with cooling. The Honda CX? CV? 500 is a V twin mounted like that. Although on these bikes, a parallel twin would be easier to mount the chain. A couple guys put 2 of these engines together & made parallel twin. But it's a lot of extra weight. Using a bigger single cylinder. Would probably be best to save weight. But the engine case can't fit like a large 60mm mm piston into it. A parallel twin go kart engine made out of 2 YD100 engines (50mm pistons ) would be pretty cool & fast. In a lightweight go kart

The pics of the BT100 V2 looked like an iron sleeve ? I dunno 🤔 $312 seems kinda steep for what you're getting. If you already have a bolt on expansion pipe & decent carb on a $130 properly ported 49mm. It'll be faster than stock $312 50mm BT100 V2. You'd have to weld up a custom pipe, port and add better carb for it to make more power than 49mm. More than double the price to get only 1mm more of displacement power.

What made you choose a Maxxis Hookworm on the front with a Serfas Drifter in the back? Was it tire clearance or grip vs durability? I can see the Maxxis Hookworm fills the front fork to the max, and no bigger tire can fit. Did you choose a Serfas Drifter out back because the Hookworm at 2.5" didn't fit the rear (my Hookworms are bigger than 26"x2.5" with a wide rim), or was it the tires you had available and chose the one with better grip up front? If the latter, good choice. I think the Maxxis Hookworm is the best track bicycle tire for a motorized bike. Just so you know, they make em skinnier and in smaller tire sizes. The 24" Hookworm is a lil over 25" inflated on a 50mm rim, nearly a normal 26"x2.125" inflated height.

The Drifter was recommended to me by a few builders. The hookworm tire was giving me some chain rub in the rear.

Im homeschooling my young kids ages 8 and 11 and was thinking of refurbishing a moto bike as a sort of small engine repair class this coming year. However looking at your viedos, maybe it might be more interesting and knowledgeable to build a bike like yours so we can all learn together how motors work. Do you have any suggestions on where to start looking for a project or any other you tube videos that might follow a build from start to finish?

I probably would have been better off just getting the CDH Power frame and building it from the ground up...

I have a 53cc overbored 49cc 4 stroke. The record for under 50cc overhead cam pushrod gas is around 47 mph. I think the Huasheng 144f is the only engine that is overhead cam pushrod gas between 50-100ccs that is in common use. My engine is only 53ccs. I have ran it to 53 MPH geared for 55 MPH, no fairing but with a good tailwind. I am proud of 53 MPH with a 53cc 4 stroke. It's geared for 47 MPH at 9300 RPM now, climbs hills and exits corners better. I am sure I can claim the Boniville Top Speed Record for 50-100cc Overhead Cam Pushrod Gas Record, even without a fairing. With a fairing, expect a 10 MPH addition to the previous record, minimum.
