Thanks for the sub bro. The Athena's are a great way to go for a starter scooter hybrid build. Paired with a vm20 and a balanced crank they can become a very well rounded and powerful machine!
Seen your old video cam long way from China motor to minarelli conversion real enthusiasts that are into them will eventually get their hands on one right 👍👍
I think you need to adjust your carburetor tuning a little bit I see that it stalls out plus I believe it's called four stroking it could be that pipe you have on there but if you think it's running good it probably is hard to tell on video most of the times overall good build Gemini rims and everything wow .? By a chance did you upgrade the engine bearings I know the old bearings go out pretty quick definitely on a minarelli
U come a long way since u started channel... I just saw your MJ 65 clone video today to this I ran that pipe on the last three box I built I'm real happy with it but hey I was wondering where did you get that headlight that's on the bike in this video right here cuz I've been using like a construction headlight but it is real bright but it doesn't shine very far the one you have on your back looks great I was wondering where did you get it how do you power it and how much about how much ?... Thanks and congrats on your channel and your success with building quality bikes
Hey man thanks for commenting, I've got a lot more coming soon. I got the headlight off amazon with some brackets for about $55, and then I got a big battery for it for also about $55. I then did some wiring and I can now plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off. I might even make a video about it since I've gotten so many questions about it. Thanks for the interest!
It all looks awesome, except for that muffler/expansion-chamber, it may run a bit better because of it, but it sure adds nothing to the looks, lol, super awesome motorized-bike brother, thanks for sharing.
Nice video is that the athina aluminum minaralli cylinder on Amazon if so is that the piston that came with it or did you put a window piston in it reason I'm asking I have both versions of the minaralli hybrid engine the cast iron cylinder what I'm running now and the athina aluminum minaralli cylinder still in the box was have problems with the cast iron cylinder getting hot I've heard from other people to leave the athina engine as is with no window piston but I know with a window piston it gives you a lot of low end torque like the seat to goes good with the bike where did you get it I have a zada screaming demon v2 bicycle has basically same frame set up as the felt faker and the f zero anyway ride safe nice build
@@TanBoiIndustries cool thanks for the info your probably better off using the athina aluminum minaralli cylinder it can expand as the piston expands so you don't get a cold seize because the aluminum piston is expanding faster than the cast iron mine hasn't done it yet but I haven't taken it out on any long trips and only run it either in the morning or evening we're have a heat wave down here in Texas for the Last few weeks thanks again for the info ride safe
Could you make a video on how you mounted your seat and what those brackets are? I have a seat like that and I'm trying to think of ways to install it.
You have got to be running a 22t sprocket, are close to it,,is your running the cylinder your saying you have,,you should having alot more bottom end,,,it's sounds like you have no bottom end
Your running it so rich that it’s flooding out. It won’t even hit the pipe. I’ve got several vids on my channel of the Athena cylinder at max potential. Dial that main back some
Yea i ran out of room with my adjustable main, i thought that since it was bogging at some points at wot i needed to go richer because that usually means its lean (right?)
@@TanBoiIndustries I don’t like the adjustable main for that reason. Too much guess work. I’d try dialing it back a bit to see if it gains rpm. If so, ur headed the right direction. Plug will tell u a story too
@@TanBoiIndustries that would be my advice. Start no lower then 260 and go from there. Once u know how it performs with the right tune, u can go back to the adjustable and dial it in.
I have the Athena cylinder and it does not like water as soon as the carburetor sucks in a little bit of water if she stalls down and turns off a puddle a few times just to take the water out and she turns right back on that’s the reason why I don’t drive in the rain and I checked for air leaks. I sprayed down the whole motor she never stalled out. It’s just rain that she does not like. But yet my 80 cc, that stock can drive in the rain with no problem the carburetor sucks in water, and she still stays on. So weird.
Yea I put a tilly carb on it and I'm gonna tune it on that instead of the vm20 since with the VM it doesn't seem to want to free rev past 8.5k but with the tilly I can get it to free rev to 13k.
I'll admit it was far from fast, but that was mostly due to a couple small issues which I eventually got fixed. Watch the last most recent video I did with the athena, it did 53 and I wasnt even really trying.
At the beginning when he's putting his gloves on that feeling and Rush of ready to ride is a great feeling
Beautiful build bud!
Nice ride, Bro.
Thought i was subbed. WTH YT, Just subbed again.
I'm planning on building an Athena top-end for my felt faker gas frame.

@@mozezcen-valley7555 gonna put a tillotson carb, a 40t sprocket, and a powerstorm ignition system on it so i hopefully wont have anymore issues.
@@mozezcen-valley7555 i used whatever bearings that came with the balanced bottom end that you get from smolik
Great job man! I've been working 60+ hours, so haven't been messing around. But we should get some employees soon, lol!
Haha yeah we need 2, one for working on my bike all day and the other for paying my bills!
Very good looking. About your headlight, what is it and where to get one? Thanks for the ride.
Got my headlight off amazon. Heres the link www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8YCLX2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How many tooth what newfangled open primary is that
Its a stage 3 RDM clutch with 10t 36t gearing

Thank you!
Very cool build man right on
I have a stock China with expansion chamber and small muffler that would eat that thing?
I didnt have it tuned right, check my latest vid to see how it runs better
@@TanBoiIndustries will do so now thanks bro
How does that sprocket attach to rear wheel?
Cnc hub from Gemini Bicycle Products. Amazing wheels.
Love the headlight. How'd you get it?
Bought it off amazon. You gotta wire it up yourself to power and ground and a switch
It all looks awesome, except for that muffler/expansion-chamber, it may run a bit better because of it, but it sure adds nothing to the looks, lol, super awesome motorized-bike brother, thanks for sharing.
Lol i feel what you mean man. Im gonna sell this motor and build a better motor with a modified jog pipe so i dont have the tumor thats on it now
the expansion chamber works like a supercharger sort of, its not just a bit of a power increase

Yes its the athena cyl off amazon, no windowed piston and I dont really plan on it. Seat is from amazon too, paid about $50 for that.

What headlight is that???
6.5inch motorcycle headlight, this one has a halo ring on it. You can find them all over amazon for around $50
Could you make a video on how you mounted your seat and what those brackets are? I have a seat like that and I'm trying to think of ways to install it.
I gotchu. I'll make sure to cover that in the next video i do on the bike
it clamps like a normal bike seat and has the 2 supports at the back u tighten to the frame
@@bobjeffrey8320 no it doesnt clamp to the frame like a normal seat
What seat is that? Been looking for a motorcyle style seat for a bike.
its a banana seat off of amazon for just any bike. it was like $60~
Cool bike man 🎊 🎉
Nice bike, ride safe 👍!
Thanks!
what's your jetting?
I think I was running about 110 for a main and stock pilot. Keep in mind its for a vm20 in NW Oregon so dont take my tuning directly
What seat is that?!
Lowrider banana seat
Nice bike
Thank you!
What size main jet you running?
I think when i got it tuned right for my area that I live in, it was like a 95 or 100
What carb?
@@OliviaLam-fh7me Real Mikuni VM20

Thumbs up -👍on video coming from James, Michael Daniels
Thank you brother!
waww very nice guys 👏👏👏👍👍
Thank you thank you!
@@TanBoiIndustries ok bro
You have got to be running a 22t sprocket, are close to it,,is your running the cylinder your saying you have,,you should having alot more bottom end,,,it's sounds like you have no bottom end
It needs a different carb, different cdi and to be tuned. Its got bottom end and i'm on a 36t
Your running it so rich that it’s flooding out. It won’t even hit the pipe. I’ve got several vids on my channel of the Athena cylinder at max potential. Dial that main back some

@@jamiebouchard9862 im going to try using just normal jets since they're easier to get to
@@TanBoiIndustries that would be my advice. Start no lower then 260 and go from there. Once u know how it performs with the right tune, u can go back to the adjustable and dial it in.
@@jamiebouchard9862 do you know what size the stock one is?
Air leak she got water. I recognize that anywhere on a two stroke, bicycle engine.
Wasnt an air leak, just an issue with the tuning
I have the Athena cylinder and it does not like water as soon as the carburetor sucks in a little bit of water if she stalls down and turns off a puddle a few times just to take the water out and she turns right back on that’s the reason why I don’t drive in the rain and I checked for air leaks.

@@cesarpagan4640 yeah i fixed that issue a while back but the motor is for sale now
That thing is running rough 😢
i know, i fixed it and now the engine is up for sale
Tune is way off. No bottom end and it doesn't rev out. Athena cylinder will pull 12k easy. It struggles to go up hill.
Yea I put a tilly carb on it and I'm gonna tune it on that instead of the vm20 since with the VM it doesn't seem to want to free rev past 8.5k but with the tilly I can get it to free rev to 13k.
I want an engine like that
Im selling the motor+pipe+carb combo
@@TanBoiIndustries whats the top speed?
@@bolt3729 65 or so on a 36 tooth sprocket and when tuned properly
@@TanBoiIndustries oh wow thats nice
@@TanBoiIndustries how much you selling it for?
Why u pretending its a manual transmission haha
lmao its got a clutch(?) wdym its not like ive got a cvt on it
@@TanBoiIndustries oh true enough
@@hihikiki88 bruh lmao
@@TanBoiIndustries but why even have a clutch tho???
@@hihikiki88 🗿the motors come with a clutch
yah dewd, that bogs pretty hard broski shewld probably tune it so it dont brrrr
The way you type💀
That's not that fast, I bet mine would smoke that 4 stroking 2 stroke
I'll admit it was far from fast, but that was mostly due to a couple small issues which I eventually got fixed. Watch the last most recent video I did with the athena, it did 53 and I wasnt even really trying.
Nice bike, way outta tune
Check my more recent vid, its running good now
That bike runs horrible
Yea i fixed it. It was horribly rich
they need a lil 4 stroke kit that gan make abike go 60
Get a 212 and put it on a bike
Looks sick!!!!!! The only thing I don't like is the muffler,,
Yea i totally agree with you and think it looks like a kidney. Totally regret buying it.
