Racing Dirt Bike Engine In A Home Made Mini Street Quad Build - Part 2

Күн бұрын

Today we are building a mini street racer quad with a CR 125 two stroke dirt bike engine. the dirt bike engine makes around 36HP so this thing is going to be FAST! its definitely going to need a wheelie bar and some good brakes. I'm taking inspiration from an old project called the mini green atv that I built years ago. I want this mini street quad to be similar to it but much faster!

I got a universal steering dampner, was cheapish like 20 bucks, and fitted it to my mini quad that also has motor swap and no suspension. mine is a predator motor lol... but it still is VERY sketchy without front* suspension and the short wheel base and distance we have. so be VERY cautious when u bring it to the street, I would wear full leathers, even if you are going like 30mph cause its easy to swerve, and get thrown off ballance cause the center of gravity is so high

@friendlyoldbum9182 2 жыл бұрын

Having the correct caster angle and toe with a rather wide steering lever (wide handle bars) it should be pretty "stable" handling wise, the lever arm lengths on the steer tube and knuckles come into play aswell. Edit... But yes, definitely leather up testing homemade toys.

OK...2 things...6:24 when you drill through the tubing to mount something in this way, you should weld some thin wall tubing into the holes to stop the bolts from constantly trying to crush the tube and vibrating loose all of the time. And second...this thing is prime for a suicide shifter setup!

after you weld everything you should throw a quick coat of primer on to stop rust. plus you have the thing disassembled anyways. so when you go to finish the project someday you won't have to deal with tons of sanding rust. could be a time saver

6:27 Probably better to weld some bushes into the frame where the bolts go through, these bolts will always come loose and everytime they do they flatten and damage the square tube frame a bit more. Nyloc nuts will work to prevent the nut to fall off but you still end up with the parts being loose as the tubing will get oval shaped over time. Drill out the holes and weld some bushes on both ends into the frame, that way you can tighten the bolts and they will stay tight.

Need to get some expanded metal in place of that mesh. It will give your feet some grip and let more trail fall back thru. And move the rear tires out so it's not so tippy. Just one adjustable wheelie bar. All it needs is to slide inside and have a pin to lock the length.

Suggestion for your foot pads: when you go to paint it, just add some sand on top of the mesh and let the paint 'glue' it to the mesh. A strong epoxy would be even better of course... I have seen people bond heavy wet-dry sandpaper to steps, but since yours is a mesh and not a solid plate, that might not work out the way you would want it to.

Also the holes in the mesh would allow grip spikes (like the ones that are used on the nicer mx foot pegs) to be mounted as well.

You could do that, but I'd rather just see some standard dirt bike or quad foot pegs mounted just above the mesh. You still get the same cool look, but with something that's useful for control.

Make your shifter at a 90 degree axis! Set up a pivot point about near your ankle or the arch of your foot so you can tap your toe or heel sideways to shift and that will take up less space while making it less of a hassle to reach it. From there, just put like a couple of hime joints on the linkage to the transmission so that the linkage does not bind, and you should be good to go.
