I have built several of these. So far. I'm working on my 8th one right now. I would recommend putting the aftermarket sprocket on. And the aftermarket chain tensioner. It is always been my two name problems.

Good choice for the added performance and extended life of the machine. The bigger gas tank Isa good investment also it will increase your distance between fill ups and surprisingly increase the fuel mileage")

Does yours have a wobble at the joint of the where the two main parts connect on the tensioner?

try using a lock washer on the inside between the plate and the tensioner is this where you are missing a spacer?

You think the higher compression piston will work in the 2 stroke motor pretty good?

@Brian136 8 жыл бұрын

+bicycless211 That depends on various factors that include whether you have installed better cylinder bolts and nuts that are torqued? Have a better head gasket than the stock piece of something and the porting on the cylinder head is capable of passing the increased amount of spent gas out through the pipe. Otherwise just changing the piston and the ring will in the short term give you a small thrill but over time unless you add the expansion pipe and copper head gasket the gains you made will put more wear on the stock motor and then failure will be sooner than later.

what is smaller sprocket on the back wheel you lose torque butt you gain speed

@Brian136 8 жыл бұрын

yes Toby but if you go to small on the back wheel then you won't get going very well at all because the little engine will only be able to pull at high revs and that is not good!!! stay between 36 and 40 teeth on the rear wheel if you want speed and still have enough torque to pull the bike from take off")thanks for commenting

Thanks for the video on this product, I'm really thinkin about getting one. The stock tensioner just adds a level of nervousness for me when I ride. One thing i wanted to share was about a rear hub sprocket adapter that I got that is similar to yours but with one advantage. The one I got off Ebay from GasBike.net has recessed screws that mount the sprocket to the adapter. This was really helpful in the fact that I did not have to bend my brake arm at all due to clearance issues caused by the protruding mounting screws. So this could be one thing to look for when buying a rear hub sprocket adapter. Thanks again for the video.

@Brian136 8 жыл бұрын

+RimShot Recluse this was the option with the mmbikeparts adapter. A set of reset screws that I didn't notice until I had already ordered the gear"( but things worked out and I am very happy with the performance of these parts. I recommend installing a hub adapter it will give way better performance over the stock chinese set up and is way less dangerous over all") thanks for watching RimShot Check out this video I made a few months ago... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7J2n6-elbGWaaM.html
