I bought one of these kits back in 2009, was a great way of learning how to work on an engine and how to debug carbs haha well worth it and loads of fun for a 15 year old
@@richardscott982 Right. Everyone wants people to ride green and electric but nobody thinks about our wallets. I drive a moped from 1969 and it does 60km on 1 liter. Try that.
So a battery is good for 1000+ charges. At $.05/charge that's $50 for 1000 charges. I get an easy 30 kilometers on my small pack. That's 30,000 kilometers for $50.

Capitão Explosão Nigeria is in Africa. It is hot there most of the time. Nunavut is above the Arctic circle and is always cold. If a Nigerian went to Nunavut, chances are he/she would shiver a lot.
I got the cheapest kit I could at just 80 dollars and I've owned it for over a year, have to say, pretty impressed that the cylinder still seems to be in good shape and everything is somewhat working as it should.
I got die grinders, milling machines, angle grinders, metal lathe, 3d printer all for hobby DIY projects. Oh yea and i have a decent mountain bike i haven't been using and since resale value is 1/5th or less than what i payed for it, it kinda makes it a perfect project for me. That or i would have chopped it up and used most of it on other hobby projects. Thanks for the inspiration.
This seems like a great and a relatively cheap winter project :D And for younger people this would be a great way to learn some basic stuff from motorcycles. But personally I would still prefer an electric kit for the easy instalation and more everyday useability. But that bike would be for another purpouse than this one so I guess you can't really compare :D Great video as always ❤️

Too much fun. These little engines are a blast! I leave my Sportster in the garage and ride my "bicycle" to work. Rain or shine, mud and snow, I love it. Thanks for sharing, J.

"Like Suarez they manage to bite consistently" LOL . This is seriously the best channel of any. I have watched all but about 10 videos I will have them all watched in the next week or so. I am not sure how many videos that is for just this channel but it is a lot.
I used screw lock for the gear in the back wheel because the screws got loose over time. I built this engine kit on a 50 year old bike found on the street. Completely grey frame. Motor looks like it was there the whole time. Great Video!
This video got me curious as to how much experience is needed to assemble one of these kits. I'd like to give it a try but might end up getting discouraged.
Its not that hard. Most problems regard legalities (dont care, small town) and making the "universal" parts fit your bike. Nothing some cutting and bending cant fix. Make sure to give the engine a break in period (only use full throttle on your 3rd tank) and have a correct fuel/air and oil/fuel mixture. Loud, slow, dangerous, but loads of fun and 180MPG easily
@@dysentinel2894 you make sure that the exhaust gasket is well sealed...if your kit includes bolts on the exhaust side ditch them and use some threaded rod instead so that you can tighten the muffler well onto the cylinder...if your kit has threaded rods on the exhaust side then there is so much you can do about it (do be cautious not to strip things)
Fun! I'm pushing 70 and more of a scooter guy now. They have a place to stuff my jacket, book, lunch, etc. I've had many motorcycles and I had a Honda MB5 back in the 80's, which I should have kept. I have always liked small motorcycles. These build it yourself ones are really appealing.
Hey man i just wanted to say that without your video i wouldve never figured out how to put the throttle cable up so heres a like and a follow for you great work
Built a few of these a couple years ago, got tired of fixing them, moved on to building electric bikes and had heaps more fun and is so much easier to put together. As cool as it seems to have a gas motor on a bike, electric power is just so much better.
Yeah...except it isn't...it's expensive, and nothing can beat the mileage on these engines whenever you run out of fuel U just pour in some more and go on for another 70 kms.
Hello ryan I would like to have your opinion with this thing in dual sport motorcycle. 1. Is it ok to use chain guide and chain tensioner at the same time? 2. If yes, is there any difference if we will use O-Ring, X-Ring, Or Standard? I know that theres a lot of comments here but im hoping that you might notice my question. Sincerely, - Honda XR 150
Bought this for $150 AU$ when I was at Uni to avoid paying the $400 year parking permit. This is what got me into bikes, riding to uni with my brother then taking it off road after the lecture to clear my mind.
Really beautiful video, I just bought the engine and I had a doubt: what type of fuel is the engine powered? simple petrol or 2/3% mixture? Thank you very much indeed!
All 2 strokes use oil mixture with their petrol. Otherwise you run without oil and destroy the engine. Check what oil ratio you should use for your particular engine, or engine size. (And oil type) goes in the same tank as fuel does.
The manual that comes with these engines requests 16:1 (fuel:oil) for break in and 20:1 after that...it is very oil rich so most of the motorized bike riders use 32:1 and some are very offended when they see a statement like this...they ride 40:1.
I put an old Homelite 4.1 cubic inch (67cc) chainsaw engine with 4.5 horsepower on a Huffy mountain bike, using a direct drive foot peg mounted to the engine's crankshaft by removing the centrifugal clutch and using the clutch bolt inside the foot peg to hold it onto the engine. I rode that bike for 5 years, and must have put hundreds of miles it. It would go 51 mph. The chainsaw engines put out tremendous power, about double what the gas scooters and Chinese bike engines have. My friend had a Stihl engine on his BMX bike, and his bike had closer to 6.0 hp, and that thing was seriously fast around town and very smooth (still direct drive though). If you want a really fun experience, try mounting a chainsaw engine to your bike. To start it, you just run and jump on it. Medium size commercial chainsaw engines are extremely light (10 to 15 pounds). You get serious power to weight ratio.
Love the build. I have to customize all my parts since I am trying to put it on a cannandale 8 bike. I find myself struggling since I have disc brakes on front and back. Do you have any tips on installing sprocket to rear tire while still using the disc brakes?
Must say it´s interesting to see these "how to" videos on the tube. This guy does not only put the chainlock on in the correct direction, he puts the tensioner to the chain on the right side too.. You Sir, are a god among insects.. ;)
Probably not. It will be maintenance and tuning hell to get it to run consistently. If you're in an urban area, the entire block and a half will easily hear you since the 2-stroke engine will be louder than a chain saw at full RPM. Also the emissions would be foul with carcinogenic vaporized hydrocarbons spewing out like Benzene, Formaldehyde, and Acrolein. Don't forget these lovely compounds NOx and CO too. These compounds just love to get in to you and party with your cells. You'd be a walking/riding environment mini-disaster to those around you. An assault on ears and noses especially those in your carcinogenic wake.
I am working on one of these built as a board track racer. Dumpster 26" paperboy frame. I built the wheels with Rynolite rims and Sturmey drum hubs 90mm/front-70mm rear. rear sets from Amazon(no pedals), springer fork, I tabbed the frame the fit the motor rather than use the El-Cheapo clamps. Should be fun if every finished.
As a keen motorcyclist this baffles me. As a part-time mountain bikerist this intrigues me. Extremely low weight motorcycle, who doesn't want one of those? But you can't beat the thumping power of a large V-twin engine between your legs. Nice.
We were one of the first importers of the pocket bikes in Australia, running marvellous Chinese engines. Assembling them, and repairing them over and over and over was some of my darkest days.

An assault on ears and noses especially those in your carcinogenic wake.
Dimitri TheWhale they’re kind of a fun way to get around your neighborhood 🤷♂️
@@beyondfossil its alright where i live 2 stroke is pretty popularand i live on the country side
@@beyondfossil boo hoo. Tree hugger lmao
F9 does a Motorized Bike Video?!?! SWEET!!! Thanks guys, I love your work :D
Wrong title...it should be: "How to compress a 30 hour build down to a 6 minute video".
All these videos are so entertaining. I dont even ride yet I learn and laugh often.
I noticed that you didn't upgrade the brakes 🙈
Safety 3nd
Sounds logical!
Brakes? What are those? Just plant yo feet 4head
Best 2 stroke bike build upload on Yt.
Instructions unclear, accidentally built a Busa.
brilliant, lol
Such wonderful cinematography & such eonderful proses. What a pleasure! Thank you F9 and team!
You've already had a great mountain bike to begin with..
Still has it, can still use pedal power
''like Suarez they somehow manage to bite consistently'' very funny, any British people with me?
That was way too short! The credits ran, the house lights came up and my popcorn was only half eaten.
I am working on one of these built as a board track racer. Dumpster 26" paperboy frame. I built the wheels with Rynolite rims and Sturmey drum hubs 90mm/front-70mm rear. rear sets from Amazon(no pedals), springer fork, I tabbed the frame the fit the motor rather than use the El-Cheapo clamps. Should be fun if every finished.
_Me watching in 2x speed:_
*"make it 3"*
This was an amazingly shot/edited video….and I came for the engine
2 stroke💥💥
As a keen motorcyclist this baffles me. As a part-time mountain bikerist this intrigues me.
Extremely low weight motorcycle, who doesn't want one of those? But you can't beat the thumping power of a large V-twin engine between your legs. Nice.
4:58 *Everyone is thinking* , is this the SAIL - AWOLNATION (Unofficial) video?!
Most likely even better. 😉
Your commentary is pure gold!
Hilarious! Ride safe my friend....
We were one of the first importers of the pocket bikes in Australia, running marvellous Chinese engines. Assembling them, and repairing them over and over and over was some of my darkest days.
Disclaimer: the video is 6 mins , it takes much longer to install the kit
The clutch bites as consistently a Suarez 😂😂😂😂😂😂....one of your best!
