    I'm going to parrot everyone else here and say the same thing: I would first make suspension adjustments, and then get the engine to run on all cylinders. I love this project, though. With some refinement, this machine has the potential to be a beast! Keep up the good work!

    • @mdnovaman
      @mdnovaman 3 года назад +5

      100%. The rebound on the rear shocks is too fast so it’s kicking the back up too quickly. If it’s not adjustable you may be able to put heavier weight oil in there.
      Some sway bars. And get higher up in the Rev range so when you stomp on the throttle on the lip of the jump. It’s more in the power band of that engine. Brilliant little project though. It may suit some larger wheels better too.

    I'm telling you, just like I said last time that bike isn't running right. I don't know if the timing is off or the firing order is wrong. Something's not right. Been around bikes my whole life. Used to race them for a short while. That is not what an inline four it's supposed to sound like. Do yourself a favor and get an official repair manual. You can find copies on eBay for like five bucks. Check the easy stuff first like timing and firing order. Then check to see what else could be wrong with the ignition system.

Chris tends to make his frames way too big, and by big I don't mean thicker tubing, his frames are usually longer and taller then most other designs I have seen.

    With a buggy like that and a jump like that you need to go slower into the jump and hammer down as your about to hit it like your buddy said but keep it pinned till you touch back down. Preloading the shocks and using the enirsha from the tires spinning to pull the back end down. I used to race dirt bikes when I was a kid and you had to work breaks and gas when in the air from hitting a jump depending on the way you hit it. I would think the concept would be the same.

    Doesn't sound right tho. Do a compression test and a spark removal test to see of things are copacetic in that respect, finally, triple check the firing order. Something's wrong.
    Edit: because maybe i'm not clear in the explanation, the spark removal test is the usual stuff, you remove a coil at a time with the engine running, as you know, BUT, there's one other thing you need to do, which is swapping the bad coil around, because there's that issue too.
    One other thing i'd check, how much ohms you're getting on your coils. Most JP bikes should be around 0.31~-0.33, the owner's manual should have the specific coil ohm value.

    So first off, awesome job fixing the shifting and gearing. Seems to be perfect for its application. Never doubted you’d get it figured out.
    Second, as you and everyone else noticed, it was misfiring a lot (although it seemed a little better near the end of the video) . It seemed to be doing it under load. Start with the plugs. I’d clean and re-gap them or replace them, just to start. Then I’d check your resistance values of the coils to see if they are up to snuff. After that, I’d start with faults in the wiring. If it persists, there could potentially be a malfunctioning sensor. Once fixed, this thing will feel so much faster in the higher RPM range.
    Third, the jump. Personally I feel like that front suspension needs to stiffened up a bit. As it sits, it seems like the front just absorbs the jump, while the back (already preloaded from the weight transfer) is stiffer therefore less absorption and more launch. You’ll have way more confidence in jumping it once you can make it level out, trust me lol
    As always, love the content and admire your skill. 🤟🏻

    There’s something seriously amiss with the way that you’ve got that engine running Chris, it sounds more like a twin cylinder than the high performance 4 cylinder that it’s supposed to be.
    Edit: I also think that the suspension is set way too soft.

      Looks like the front is too soft but the back is ok. That's why it kicks the back way up when he jumps it but the front tries to soak up everything and doesn't jump. Or make the back softer if you want everything really soft.

    Okay love the channel, but A. never rev a cold engine it does all kinds of bad things to it! B. Get it running correctly before you tear it up. C. get lessons on how to drive a manual transmission! D. you need to tune the suspension not add a roll or sway bar, also limit straps would be a very good idea. E. Jumps should be hit at full throttle and held there until touch down or you will flip it over nose first

  • @THEjohnnywhopper
    @THEjohnnywhopper 3 года назад

    Chris, this buggy is absolutely amazing. The jumping attitude is easily fixed with 2 things. 1 - preload. Look at a side shot of the floor pan when you're sitting in it. It is still raked down in the front. Take a little bit of preload off the rear and add a bunch to the front. You want the buggy to at least sit flat, or even up a half inch to an inch when fully loaded with driver. The second thing is just throttle control. Roll up to the jump slow and then whack the throttle like you're trying to do a wheelie. You dont have to hit it with a ton of speed if you're not comfortable. Go slow and get used to driving the nose up with the throttle. Sway bars will make a huge difference on this buggy for cornering/handling. I really dont think stiffening the shocks will have the result you're looking for. It'll just be bouncy and harsh. That thing looks like it handles the terrain amazing with the spring rates you have. It just needs a little help to stay flat and sway bars make a world of difference while not giving up bump / jump capability. Sway bar thickness will be trial and error but I can tell you that you're going to want to be a little thicker in the rear than the front based on the weight bias of your chassis layout. This thing is so sick man. Awesome job!

    • @rakman88

      Exactly what I was gonna say. That front end compresses way too much. Adjust shock dampening and spring rate. It'll help on the roll as well, but will still need sway bars.

    • @calholli
      @calholli 3 года назад

      there's always a trade off... he has it soft right now for comfort........ but its not going to corner very well.. You can stiffen it up, and it will corner much better/ less body roll-------- but then its going to beat you to hell on the trails. Its not a track buggy. But lets be honest, Once he gets those gearing right (its way too low still, lol)-- and gets it running right--- he should really break down and buy some $2k fox shocks or something legit. He needs to take this ting to grind hard and let them fine tune it all... that would be epic.

    First off, this thing is sick. +1 on the sway bar. Thats just the nature of trailing arm suspension, very body rolly. In addition to just tuning compression and rebound, if you're able to put the front shocks at more of an angle, it'll help with body roll. (Look at can am x3s). It would change your travel and spring rate tho. Keep tweaking things and it'll be a monster.

    @DirtGearTv 3 года назад

    I think you nailed those gear ratios dude nice job! Just a few observations (mostly already mentioned in the video) a wider rear end would make it much more stable as well as that sway bar. I would also tighten up those shocks in the rear. Also watch the footage of yourself back hiting the jump, you can hear you’re chopping the throttle which is why it’s nosing over. You need to be steady on the throttle all the way through the jump and into the air and I promise that thing will fly straight 😆 Try going to a higher gear and keeping a steady acceleration through the jump (higher gears are less dramatic while learning). Thing looks fast though!

  • @fawkyooo7377
    @fawkyooo7377 3 года назад +1

    The rear valving in the shocks need to be stiffer. On the compression and rebound. Also needs a brake proportioning valve to add more pressure to the rear, or figure out why the rear isn't helping stop.

  • @rprokopow
    @rprokopow 3 года назад

    For the throttle. Move the throttle cable closer to the pivot point of the gas pedal and thatll make it less touchy. However youll also need to move the gas pedal more to reach full throttle
