Very much so...... As a guy who can blow the whole budget, it nice having a project that is affordable. And replacement parts are everywhere.

Couldn't agree more!

This guy likes his 2 strokes but the little gem I found is the 4 stroke kits that are much quieter but since they are Honda clones, the reliability is great and having a centrifugal clutch is much easier for new riders

My goes 63 on a good day, daily driver!

Andy S definitely the better choice

If you don't expect wonders from your machines they actually bring you wonders.

A proper dirt bike - hell, an old on/off road bike like the TS125 or xl125 is so much more capable that the places it would get stuck you'd never have to worry about pushing his bike through because you'd never get there to be stuck. You could ride it t the trailhead, get to the trees - turn around to get a chainsaw, come back and clear the trail, and ride to the end and take a nap while waiting for the YD to show up. I'm not saying its not worth building and riding - just that it has to be done for fun = because you like wrenching and screwing around. It's never going to be better than the vehicles it long ago evolved into.

For real!

@@LAHoverkeep up the videos! im thinking about doing my own videos too.

Eh, don't they know he has fire crackers lol 😉

ice yaj, yeah, I hate it just as much as people on bikes who think they own the roads!

@@Nevertrustalawyer We are talking about a dirt trail here not road bikers, completely different than Karens that think they own the world dude.

Wow, thanks!

I broke my bike today pulling my friend do u think I can get the bike fixed

@@evetighe it dependes on what happened did it lock up?

@@evetighe kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e992gK-Clsecm6s.html

I’m breaking my 50cc in currently, or at least trying to lol. I have a 1:20 oil to gas ratio. This thing is so fun and I got one because my friend had one. I’m not at all near being mechanically inclined but I put it together with ease, and am having fun learning about the motor. Do you guys have any suggestions about a good carb to put on it I’m going to get and expansion chamber as well

@@harrisong5232 depends you have to check if you got space for a bigger carb. Whats the size of the one you got?

Thank you! I keep them a bit longer than most so people will have something to watch/listen to while working on their bike. lol you will be doing allot of work on these things :P Stay safe, and welcome to the hobby.

Your pretty good I love all your videos keep it coming please! I am a motorized bike anthusist I actually watch and listen to your videos while working on my bikes as well so more power to you and thank you for the great content honestly happy new year to you as well

Thanks 👍

Looks like we are all half way there lol

Thanks 👍

Right on

It is the black 26 mountain bike from WM and after a year it just needed new rings@@theLyzhendricks

I use a 100cc 2 stroke on a bicycle daily and go to work with it . I have for almost 2 years and over 20.000 km. Still running great only problem is the clutch that starts to slip every 3000 km but it is an easy job.

I wonder why if your igniting your exhaust

@@dab-pre-ss-ionaustin1986 You don't know jack about what I did I take it? It blew up from a circlip failure. I just got done rebuilding the engine a few minutes ago and I'm heading to the hardware store to buy hardware to mount it back on the bike. I'm buying the G style clip circlips but have the 2 pronged ones in right now. They are very sketchy. Buy G clip and you're fine.

Best Dad EVER!

Where do you live? Back in the day i rode on one to school till they stopped me because its an illegal moped where I live. Then switched to ebike

@@jekafilatov the beautiful state of oklahoma

It hasn't been stolen yet.? Where I'm from a bike like these would be stolen by lunch time

I appreciate that!

Thanks for watching!

Glad i saw your post , i keep thinking same thing , do you remember walbro # or which saw it was on ? I would like to use the walbro hd12b as used on the husqvarna 372xp , 71cc chainsaw . Also how did you couple the carb to motor and where did you drill pulse port ? Wish i could see pictures ! The beauty of this carb is the metering screws for low and hi speed rpm's that precisely tunes fuel an air mix and easily adjusted for days of hi humidity or low humidity as humidity conditions change the tune , as well as temp . Also the diaphram carbs very sensitive to motor heat and on the saws have rubber or plastic intake manifolds . So glad to hear this !

@@sundial6919 Sorry for the late reply. I'm using a Husqvarna 372XP carb mounted on an OZ reed valve (vertical threaded holes on the intake plate have a 31mm spread, which matches the carb perfectly. This mounts the carb right up to the intake tube). I just drilled a 1/8" hole into the crankcase, and pressed a small section of 1/8" OD aluminum tubing as a hose barb. There was some minor fabrication involved in getting a cable throttle connected, but it's been a great setup so far - especially once I converted the bottom end to case reed!

@@dmoore0079 glad to hear it my friend

Thanks for watching!

So nice of you, ride safe :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

They are frigin tough forsure! However its doesnt hurt to use a fair amount though,I Like it when it smokes going down the road.Ive put well over a 1000 k on my 80cc using a good bit of oil. Had to change the spark plug(Cheap one it came with) is all. So much fun!! Im planning a big trip next summer! Cant wait..

@@natesmith8713 oh yea now on my ported motor that’s piped, bored out carb I keep it wide open 24/7 like seriously I run it 20:1 or 24:1 because it’s getting strung out so much and I want this cylinder and piston to last if not I am working on a ktm 85 c piston in a china doll that will be my backup/test motor

@@natesmith8713 it leaves a haze down the rode once I’m wide open

Appreciate that, Ride On Brother!

Im building a 212 bike, is there any issues with the motor on reliability?

@@geshscale6068 hey how's it going most of the issues are going to have is with your transmission it will be either your alignment or chain rubbing on your metal frame to deal with it you have to add an extra washer or at the back of your tire both sides to keep it looking even or just on the side with the chain and you'll be all good I use a torque converter if the belt burnout is all good chain drive too slow for me Shane two back tires straight drive is not going to happen unless you got a welder and you can slide your engine all the way to the right but that's not necessary because of torque converter give you decent speed I've gone 54 MPH before I took my governor off it depends on what bike frame you use and the weight of the Rider I'm using a firmstrong chief cruiser it's a little extra wide but it's steel frame don't use aluminum framing I don't care do not use aluminum you steel frame bike only you're going to need help with the engine because it's heavy to get the alignment properly set and you want to move the gas tank off the engine so you can perform maintenance on the engine properly but once you get it down packed and you put it down right you ain't got nothing to worry about that engine is strong as hell going uphill downhill straight it doesn't matter

@@geshscale6068 I know my KZfaq channel is not perfect but if you need me to put a video up on there just let me know and I'll go over to bike show you directly or if you wanted to contact me directly however you can on your we can do so and I'll tell you about the bike more the problems I went through

@@terryjoe323la That's good. I'm putting it on a custom recumbent, so speed I'm not so worried about. Its good to know that it climbs hills good. Im looking for a nice slow cruise up and down large hills.

@@geshscale6068 I never heard of that bike but I hope it's a steel frame bike at the same time long as you build it right you're all good any predator engines don't slow down you know they all speed in power going uphill is nothing be safe in your build always be safe use red loctite make sure you use red loctite and only use it after you got everything set in place

Glad you enjoyed Man!

I normally don't fill up at a pump, I just did for my return trip. but good idea about using the back up tank to mix the gas.

That cracked me up! Top comment!

Thanks! I'm going to try to scout the rest of the trail after they clear the tornado damage to see if the rest of it is passable. Out of the bikes I have now I would choose the Path Dragon... I keep calling it retired, but it just keeps working lol

My bike should be just about the same speed as others with a YD100 and a 26" frame (30~mph). Here are three things that make it look faster. The gopro is recording in super view (extra wide angle lens), the camera is mounted to my chest (lower cameras look faster), and the angle is slightly down (seeing more moving ground and less sky). ;)

Racing carb and small sproket for speed

I'm on a 60cc with the same exhaust and stock nt carb pulling 35-40 and 40-45 on a slight down hill

It's GlockOclock baby! 20 pass the hours to be exact. I buy what I like, and what I like is 180 grains of custom 10mm being pushed out of 4.6" Lone Wolf Barrel ;)

@@LAHover actually, I'm more of a .45 acp guy myself. doesn't matter what brand of barrel it's going down!

Matters if you make your own bullets :D

@@LAHover No pistols allowed for general bombing around, but Ruger 9mm PCC is legal in Canada !

Well I don't know about a fresh motor, but I have an all day ride planed for early/mid spring :) It will probably be with this same YD100

I have eight. From a 43cc Weedwakker ( weedeater) in a 20'' folding frame; 39cc OHV in a 26'' Cruizer Frame; 2x 49cc in Old stye Steel frames ( Humber); 3x 66cc in different frames and a 49cc OHV in an Aluminium frame.

lol I'm more likely to build a new one rather than fix and old one :P Edit: The dual sport in not a bike, it's random bits of "metal" and plastic in the shape of a bike...
