YOU NEED A CHAIN GUARD!!!!! If you dont wanna make the stock one qoek gwt a different one. I knew someone who died because his chain snapped and cut his leg, he bled out before paramedics could get to him. Use a chain guard or dont do this at all your life is more important than this.
Sorry to hear that, that’s terrible. Proper chain / sprocket alignment, lubrication, and assembly would prevent a chain from snapping, along with preventative maintenance checks on chain stretch. I’ve had chains snap on motorized bikes and I’ve never felt like it would rip my leg off. The metal guard itself is dangerous in that there’s no proper safe way to mount it, risking it disassembling itself.
Chain guard is very important, its not to protect your feet when your chain breaks, but prevents your pant leg from getting caught inside the engine spinning a few thousands RPM, and preventing it from pulling your leg into the spinning gear which would shred your flesh like blender. The chain tensioner is the killer. Run without one before it gets caught inside your spoke while riding 30 mph, stopping you like a giant branch got stuck between your spokes.
I like this video. These tips are almost priceless. I made many of these mistakes back in '07 on my first kit. This is my second build now it's 2023 and I want it done correctly and well. Last time my older brother (mechanic type guy) did most of it. I'm doing it all by myself this time. This is the second time I'm watching this video and saved it to a favorite folder.
@@kadenbef3871 because of the law in my state and my particular unique situation I had to put mine aside and go with an electric bike. I'm happy and sad about that at the same.
@@TheWannabeOutdoorsman dang that sucks. Here in iowa they don’t care. I do have an electric scooter tho and it will always be wayyyyy faster then the gas bicycle but the motorized bike are fun to build and ride
Agreed. What I find most astonishing is I can have a bicycle that's powered by gasoline that goes only 3mph but I need a license and registration on it. But I can have one that's more powerful and goes 20mph as long as it's powered by electricity no license or registration is required...🤔🤔🤔
Had bolts come out of the exhaust twice. Installed two studs with 680 green locktite .. Used Three jam nuts . Locktite with red on the last jam nut. No more problems.

This is incredible ! I already have experience with these engines, but there are some tips that i didn't even think about in the first place ! continue what you're doing !
your idea of making sure the tools are together is excellent, i took it a step further and started getting the parts together the same way, this can apply to any job
16:23 lever seems to be meant for dual brakes. I bought dual brakes lever, which highly recommend, it looks like that. One lever pulls front and rear brakes
@@Everatti Nice little bike! But You forgot the most important Tip! Number #1 Take the Jug off and split the case apart and clean all the trash, metal and shit out of the case before You do anything else. And don't forget to balance and true the crank! Then You won't have to have so many issues with it vibrating apart before its broke in. Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe out there!👍
Great video with lots of useful info. I would add to check the spark plug gap. I've encountered more that one kit with the gap way off. My first build had this issue and after 1 hour plus of troubleshooting I had an "Aha" moment and checked the plug gap. Once properly gapped I was off and riding with no other issues. Also, after 5/10/15 hours of operation check all bolts again as the heating and cooling cycle and vibration tends to loosen some of these.
I just got my Engine. Couldn't help but throw the whole thing on in one day. Anyway, I've used some of your tips. But I'm not quite sure of the fuel ratio. I found on some websites and google. Those say 16:1 for the first three gas tanks. And then 20:1 after its broken in. Does that sound about right?
Most people run 40:1 I believe because it's the best ratio for performance from what I've heard. The sites say to run 16:1 for break in and 20:1 after just to be safe. A lot of people don't even run a different ratio after broken in and run 40:1 right from the start. My first kit is arriving soon and I'm going to be a little safer and run something like 25:1 or 30:1 or 40:1 like everyone else.
@@1ilrx I've been riding mine a lot now lately and I started with 16:1 and its been going great. I'm on my 2nd tank and plan to go up to 20:1 after my third. Though I can't say I'm getting the "100-150" mg everyone keeps saying it will do. Probably my carburetor needing adjustments.
@@juicyjams8522 Yeah, I mean running a ratio like 20:1 will at least make sure your engine is healthier and lasts longer. I haven't heard anyone saying they get 150 mpg, mostly 90 mpg or 100.
For the exhaust, Mount the exhaust pipe with the black Allen screws that you can get at home Depot. May even be able to get away without using loctite, with loctite definitely not coming out.
Thanks man i appreciate it. It was pretty organized, but theres still a few things i wish builders would do on cam... like break the chain and line the sprocket... but ty, this is the most detailed one i can find. I wish someone would make a clear step by step tutorial though.
I don't understand why some of you guys or really alot of you have problems with the exhaust bolts working loose and or falling out....IV been building these little bikes since 2019 but IV been building and racing cars trucks,, motorcycle,, 4wheelers and I ride my motorized bicycle every day back and forth to work and I never have or have had problems with my exhaust bolts working loose and or blowing exhaust gaskets....but I do make sure to get them tigh and I retighten them after they get hot and cool down and I also use ultra gtey silicone instead of a gasket and I don't have any leaks at all ...I don't use any lock tite at all but it does work very well and I do mean very well if it's been cleaned properly....if you use red lock-tite and it works back loose it's because you did not clean and prepare your surfaces properly....
Nice video. Q: what metal is stronger for this type of bike ? Chinesium or unobtainiam ? Q: what weight magneto oil should I use for this engine? Should this oil be measured in metrics cc , or USA standard ounces? Im a newbie so any info will help. Thanks
What do I do if my front tube is too big for the mounting kit. I have a schwinn side winder and the front tube's diameter is pretty big and I'd really hate to have to get a different bike
Do you know the size of the bolts that hold the engine to the frame. My brother took his apart so I got to put it together again. I have to fix everything he screwed up😂
An easy way to keep the engine from turning over is a few feet of small rope in the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Remember to leave a little hanging out. Old mechanics trick
Excellent information with one exception. Do not use WD40 for lubrication. As it ages , it turns into a sticky resin which no longer provides lubrication. WD40 is excIellent for holding on the rubber grips, but instead, use TriFlow for throttle and cable lubricant.
With the 1 I got through the winter last yr it's missing some parts it took forever it seems to find the Dunlop 1989 the intake bolts ones stripped our mechanic he could retred it I gotta get a link for the chain my frame is gas built into the mountain bike I wanna attach an electric parts so it'll be electric gas
This bike frame I've got, well I'm going to have to mod the engine mount on the exhaust side. The crap they included won't work in my case. But I think I've got it figured out. Just waiting for the parts store to open. That grease... yeah I'm picking that up! This is the a great video. Thank you 😊.
Tires only get worn more if you put more miles on the bike than normal. Otherwise I’ve found it’s the same. Brake pads on the other hand.. they go way faster than a normal bike because of the added weight.
Love your video man but what do I do for the throttle? My bike has a twist grip shifter on both sides and I’m not sure if I should just cut it off or what.
I need help asap. I don't know what kind of grease to use. I have permatex ultra slick oil assembly lube, but I don't know if I can use that instead. Please inform me of what to use, it's my first time building one of these.
yes, use lithium grease on your throttle cable, I use it in my home's door locks because it has less tendency to bind up but will not thin out too easily. I also use lanolin in similar situations. ps. WD40 is great for cleaning grease and even 420 resin off your hands.
ive got a onex/onyx 26" was thinking of motorizing it but want rear wheel free wheeled not just when you take off the mechanical lock but adding the rim and rear brakes either pads or rotors what say you

@@imjustbeingreal100 No. WD40 is a penetrating fluid that doubles as a temporary lubricant. It’s not viscous enough and wouldn’t provide lasting lubrication. It’s important to use a thicker grease in this application

Steel is better for motorized bikes. The frame bends without cracking. All frames bend, but at the speeds a motor makes a bike go (a bike that wasn't designed for speed), a lot more bending and flexing occurs. Aluminum is lighter and weaker, and is more succeptible to frame failure.
Soapy water in spray bottle works great on hand grip oil will stay slippery all bolts best with flat then lock washer grease for clutch / gear box ok lithium white grease best on cables chain tensioner most suck n give problems if can remove 1-2 chain links and reconnect with back plate n clip
You didn't talk about any mounting tricks even though you did something less than standard. Maybe it's a good thing for a part 2. Mounting shenanegans.
You’re right - I didn’t. Check out the comments. I’m sure someone’s added some input! I always add a piece of inner tube between the engine and the frame to protect it from vibrations. Other than that it’s up to you how you mount it - there’s really only two ways to do it. With or without the U bolt adapter.
I found the sprocket pretty much impossible to get aligned in the center in the chain no matter how much I fiddled with the bolts. I'm resigned to simply hope it doesn't fall off.

Can WD 40 be used instead of grease?
@@imjustbeingreal100 No. WD40 is a penetrating fluid that doubles as a temporary lubricant. It’s not viscous enough and wouldn’t provide lasting lubrication. It’s important to use a thicker grease in this application
Always go in a star pattern tightening down your sprocket no matter tight you think they are never never never never never go in a circle at any time
i notice the bottom leg of the magneto is touching the rotor magnets, i recommend sliding a piece of paper in there and re-tighten the screws
i have two running motorized bikes and they use bmx chains.
thinking about it, i just put a new chain on, and the old one was very stretched, so maybe im wrong to use bmx chains because stretch.
If you can, I’d upgrade to a heavier duty chain. A bike chain will definitely stretch or snap with that much load over time.
yeah you need a 415h for sure, even a 410H will probably snap, I wouldn't dare try a 410, unless I felt like losing my balls through my asshole
I counted how many you cut with the chain breaker it was 6 pins up is that how far I should break the chain
Depends on the length of your rear frame and sprocket. It’s different on every bike

How to stop gas tank studs from cracking tank causing leak?
don't tighten it down so hard. the studs are just welded to the tank sheet metal, it's not very strong. it's ok if the tank can move a little bit

You’re right - I didn’t. Check out the comments. I’m sure someone’s added some input!
I always add a piece of inner tube between the engine and the frame to protect it from vibrations. Other than that it’s up to you how you mount it - there’s really only two ways to do it. With or without the U bolt adapter.
Seals-all is gas and oil resistant and the fuel valve should never have to be removed anyway
i have a vintage gt agressor bike it needs no chain tentener
Nice! I had a black Nishiki with an engine kit, and it didn’t need a tensioner either
