If you have a friction centrifugal clutch you have to shorten the spring by a link or 2 to get it to idle in place without clutch engagement and then try oiling it before you ride, it will take off a little slower but run smoother.. the shaking you describe for me is usually the clutch biting and most videos say don’t put oil in the clutch but they don’t have this setup and I’ve been doing it for years on the same clutch that was brand new when first installed. My chain purposely has a good amount of play in it as well not enough to come off the sprocket tho.

​@@letsdoitourselves5322 It has a friction clutch, my chain has a bit of slack in it, but I have a spring tensioned roller that takes out the slack, that is the configuration that I changed to today. Before I had the chain tensioner mounted in a position whereas the roller was pushing the chain outward clamp to the fender support, it had a vibration in the geared wheel also. The clutch works well, I have no problem with it disengaging

@@wireeye2003 it’s not that it’s not disengaging it’s that it’s slam engaging if that makes sense.. only thing I can say is give the oil a shot worst that can happen is you gotta get another clutch.. I went through 3 clutches the first year before I realized a little oil was the trick and I keep some in a small bottle with me if I go on dirt roads and bike trails cause long distance and dirt make the oil wear off

Na just 1.. if you’re referring to the comment where the guy said he forgot a second o ring he just had the wrong size 1 o ring. You gotta verify where your leak is this is a specific gasket that is common to leak and other than this video isn’t supposed to be serviceable most people with no budget spend the $250 for the new pump and housing vs this gasket that comes out of a $10 kit and takes an extra 15-30 minutes of ingenuity.

@@garbo3682 with the handling it kind of depends on what your expecting out of a trike being that the turning is the hardest part cause you have to slow down a good bit and lean towards the turn without leaning the bike.. try leaning the bike while turning to fast and it can snap the frame or flip. I welded the rear end to the front with a couple pieces of rebar to help with shaking at higher speed. The shaking in my previous video was caused by a bad centrifugal clutch. The shakes start to come back if I don’t oil the new clutch every other ride. A torque converter would probably be a smoother ride if you can make that fit. This takes off smoothly it’s not a race bike but will still do 50 mph but it’s scary and hard to explain why. Basically the only drive wheel is the rear left which makes it want to make a right turn at 50 mph while your keeping the wheel straight. There’s more to it but hard to explain. If you just want to cruise with the kids to the park or to the store or I even cruise a few miles down the bike trail, then this is the trike for you. Only thing is you gotta figure out brakes for yourself cause what I mention in this video about the rear brakes is still relevant and happened recently where I used the rear brake while going too fast and it started to twist the axle and dismounted the sprocket so it was free spinning. For parts I think rear sprocket is 60T and clutch is 11T The chain is #420 Predator 212 engine 70” throttle cable and twist throttle Nuts bolts metal and a welder would be the rest I think. The only things I purchased were the cable and throttle and the chain everything else I had laying around so prices very

@@letsdoitourselves5322 thank you for the info....thanks for responding

You never put a question idk what u mean

You are welcome!

Depends on tools available and time. It’s usually max 12 hours with 4 hours a day non stop work for 3 days but can be done quicker I think I put this engine in the next day but I didn’t have to pull a donor engine which is part of the 12 hours

@@letsdoitourselves5322 Oh ok. We have one XF with too many broken things. We got scammed unfortunately by a seller who promised it's all clean and for whatever reason we didn't do a proper check because of "reasons" It has a lot of faults like BCM doesn't work and much more

?

I know this is a late reply but I hope you got it sorted 😊

Thanks for watching glad it helped.. it’s a hobby bike that started with things I had laying around mostly so I don’t invest too much into it unless I feel it’s worth it and I’ve already had all the same ideas you’ve mentioned.. starting with the springer fork they’re kinda pricey but I do plan on doing that one day if I find one at a flea market or cheap and it would be more for ride quality than breaking the frame that’s was driver error from me leaning to hard an going to fast on turns.. for fat tires on the stock axle you can either find some already made super expensive custom 24” rims and tires made for trikes or get some fat tire bike wheels and use the outer rim then get some aftermarket spokes and use your wheel hub from the trike rims. Go kart axle requires a lot more fabrication and is better if you wanna make a drift trike but not for a cruiser unless you fab a way to use bigger wheels like welding the stock axle ends on the go kart axle. My bike still pedals and has 3 pedal speeds the other video you commented on I was explaining the chain was off for repair.

Having a motor only puts a lot of stress on the clutch if you plan on cruising around at slower speeds and it’ll smoke after going to slow for too long.. I usually pedal to help me take off but it’s not 100% necessary as you see in this video

Probably force if I didn’t record it it wasn’t a step so it might’ve just came off

16 fl oz In video at 10:30

@@letsdoitourselves5322 what does it mean 16 lf oz ?

@drseba7573 16 fluid ounces

Sounds like that’s the problem..

No problem nice channel.. I subscribed

Thanks one day I plan to add one

Depends on what size sprocket ⚙️ and clutch you have. mine is size 420 chain but there are multiple sizes.

I just ordered new tires for it they’ll be here Friday.. I usually respond to questions if you have any.. upgrading the axle is a good idea and something I’ll probably do one day.

Yeah he just used a tool for that 😂

The reverse thread sockets suck 😊 I have some but like the welder.

12 years of experience I think I’ll be fine

Opposite mine only leaked slowly when turned off but I could ride for over an hour and won’t smell anything

@@letsdoitourselves5322 cause i just notice it this morning i suppose to ride my r6 to work then i notice when i warmed it up it was leaking smells gas.. you think the oring can buy on autozone?

If it’s leaking while running I’d check the hoses

This is the set I used www.harborfreight.com/382-piece-o-ring-assortment-67554.html I used gasket 110 in this set. Using the caliper I took a measurement of the inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD) and thickness of the old gasket. Because the gasket is worn it’s not exact but I rounded to nearest mm and converted into fraction of an inch on Google because I couldn’t find a gasket that would fit with mm dimensions. Then I looked everywhere online for either the right size or and assortment and above 👆 is what I found.

Sounds perfect.. When I originally made this I got a mini bike with a trashed frame for $10 and used the engine from it.. I originally had a motor scooter with 49cc 4 stroke I was gonna use but sold it. I don’t use this for transportation just to take my kid to the park near my house but I’ve taken it a few miles at a time no problem.

Can be done in a day with pro experience 3 days with common sense and a week if your waiting on parts or lazy

Sacramento ca

I’m on the other side of the country gulf coast of Florida happy building brother

@@erikadkins225 I ride regardless but it definitely would be nice to fix. I’m going to get the same kit and use the same o-ring the guy did. If not I might buy an eBay one and try to reuse the nipple since none of them come with it.

@@letsdoitourselves5322 I said the same thing but my friend said that it was probably just being pushed to a different spot from the force. Just replaced the gasket and still notice leaking but some of it came from the overflow valve so I’ll see in the morning
