Another one bites the dust! lol RIP, thanks for taking the time to give it some good Brrraps.

Hey this is Jay I'm biking enthusiast have been for many years and I want to say big huge thank you and thanks to la hover I did not blow a bunch of money on the phantom 85 not the first one not the second not any thank you thank you thank you you guys saved me big cuz my old lady is already on me about spending this money for what she considers silly nothing that would have really been a big silly nothing so thanks a lot you saved me

I have had so many problems with 2 strokes that I migrated over to the 4 strokes. Once properly installed I’ve had almost no problems with them. Good gas good oil maintain the bike and have fun.

How awesome is to have to push a heavy bike on the middle of nowhere?! Glad you safe and sound. Thanks for the ride.

In the name of, science! Glad to see it’s outcome. Thank you for that.

Bro,it was a bad move to put smaller wheel,sure more torque and lower speed,but then there would be less airflow,high rpm’s are a no go,and never go above 32/1.The phantoms are best when on a small sprocket and pulling on medium speeds.This was still a good test to see how much the phantom could put up,best luck to you,and hope to see another 80 cc video

Also, in all respects to what it is, you can kill any two stroke bicycle on land like you have. That bikes meant to do 25 mph comfortably. And im 230 lbs. Wide open land with wide open throttle is a two stroke death sentence.

I ran my Phantom 85 v2 today for the First time on a 30 minute there and 30 minutes Home. I was Very Impressed 😊 Love The Torque & the Smoothness of it 🎉... my ratio is 25to1First tank 32 to 1 for Life! Is recommended..44 sprocket Awesome 👍 phantom Fanatic!"❤😊

I know the phantoms have some design flaws but they are air cooled engines. Running that small rear wheel reduced the amount of cooling it would have had with a 26" wheel. I would like to know what fuel ratio you were running and how the carburetor was tuned.

You can see at 29:47 where the fins are bent down on the left side... possibly due to it being to hot 🔥

And thanks for the heads up before I went and spent $300 on garbage thanks merry Christmas

Any idea why it overheated? Is it just a defective engine/head design? Running to lean? Maybe it sprung an air leak on the intake causing it to lean way out? I'm glad I never bought a Phantom.... I seen a Runleader digital temp./tach gauge with adjustable temp alarm setting for $25.......That $25 gauge could have saved this engine. After watching this video, a temp gauge would be the 1st thing I'd buy if I had a Phantom85. I'm tired of wearing out back bike tires so fast, so I'm gonna try something that'll either be stupid or brilliant. I found some discarded Micky Thomson dirt track car racing tires with no steel belts inside the tread. I'm gonna cut some narrow strips out of them & glue the rubber on a bald bike tire. Clean each with solvent real good & use rubber tire glue. If it doesn't work, I'll only be out some time & $3 in glue. If the glue holds, I'll have some bike tires that, #1 last way longer #2 more flat resistant #3 can handle the hot summer blacktop road temps without getting soft & melting.

what mix where you running it on i run stihl fully synthetic 25/1 mix i have 3 bikes and all of them are ported/tuned 2 x 100cc and a 110cc all where stripped and checked and cleaned!!

Same thing happened to mine. I wonder if a two piece jug with a large finned head would help.

Good stuff. Wish they lived longer haha. Should I go wild cat pk 80 or zeda pk 80? Let me know what you all think?

How do you only make it a couple miles out? I get around pretty far and fast but I do run a 36T and stick to pavement

Port the YD100 please. 2,5 mm higher exhaust, 2 mm lower intake. You'll feel the difference. And replace that whiney clutch. That's subtracting horsepowers surely

hey when u st test the phntom from hover you ssid u hit 40 to 4 five is thst s guess ? cus mine with 44 toooyh only tops out 33 mph

Hey why are the cooing fins all bent on the jug

Definitely ride safe, that thing is sketchy. It's really made for a bigger steel framed bike. I've had mine on a huffy lockland and it runs great. As to the people calling them junk, they're probably just repeating someone else's review. Mines been great. I've got hundreds of miles on mine.

To me it sounds like that idle is too high, or you had an air leak

What speeds were you riding at?

If it vibrates that bad consider balancing the crank if you decide to rebuild it

Have to be one of the most temperamental engines out there I’ve never had a problem as long as it was Super lubricated like 16:1 all the time

My v3 did the same thing yesterday... 🙁🐿

Extra Excellent

I have a 80cc kit with a 100cc big bore on it no front forks or anything and it's perfect it overheats a lot like on my 5 mile commute I need to stop once and then take it easy the rest and when it does brake i.e chain or something I pedal it home like you should have done in this video

It's Kaput! Yep ya screwed up! Either the carb was running too lean, or not enough synthetic 2-stroke oil in the gas!

Well, perhaps you could have run at 25/1 to 32/1 on the oil. 40:1 is too dilute for this engine.

phantoms are junk right from the start . but i feel that most of the little bike motors are pretty junky . they last for years if you dont ride them lol . i guess its all in how you ride them some last alot longer then others . i think the key to even the ones that last is not to let them get to hot . there just not built to last . four stroke engines are really the way to go if you want something that will last and be dependable . but there are cons and pros for both .

That thang will go farther than 8miles

That's why I wouldn't have a 2 stroke they heat up I have a 100 cc 4 stroke and run it wide open I also don't have to peddle it pulls it's self perfect.

Def should have ran a smaller sprocket

damn bro sry bout thats, i got 70 mile on 50cc. just goin normal speed. i see that black oil came out your engine is probably too much oil mixing that why it over heat maybe.

Sorry about your arse bud! Been there.....I giggle when ya mentioned the skin sanded right off you ass...😄

The FIRST thing I always buy for any bike is a comfortable seat! Why would you put a smaller tire so the rpms are always high? I have a temperature gauge on my phantom and it never comes close to over heating

YD100 Win xD.

Have you ever heard of lock type
