Tap the holes in the fork neck so you can put zerk fittings and install a rubber skirt on the ends of the neck and you'll keep 99.99% of the dirt out, and 99.98% of the water and humidity. You can also install something on the bolt to take up some of the void and then when you hit it with a grease gun, a few pumps will push old grease out of the rubber skirts, and a quick wipe and you're ready to ride. Should never have to take them apart or do anything to them unless you choose to. Just a thought.
I was thinking the same thing. I would put riv-nuts in with some water jacket thread sealer around the insert before crimping instead of tapping the tubing it's self. Threads like to blow out on threaded tubing. I use riv-nuts on all accessory mount points on my bike and they have stood the test of abuse.
I have literally just started writing almost identical what you said I know you can we did it when we were kids but we made ours are selves back in the late 70s or early 80s
I am 68 but 2 years ago I had a Monster Moto mini bike 212. I had to sell it because I could not handle the jar to my stomach even on a gravel road with no potholes. I have had 2 hernias so I am too sensitive to it. Not knocking the bike at all in that respect. Just too old to be screwing around on one. 🤥 I do not know about other people's experience with one of these stock but the first time out of the crate the headlight burned for all of 5 minutes. Was no biggie to me but then a few days later while riding down an asphalt road, both jackshaft bearings went out and I was towed back home. Put 2 $30 each bearings into the jackshaft and was good for the rest of the year before selling it. I still think it is a very solid minibike and if young again , I would have wanted this kind of power. Cool bike. Cool video. Now, I need to find a cushy golf cart I guess.... Have fun while you are young people ! 😁
Because of y’all’s channel, I bought my oldest boy a mega Moto 212 and my twins a pair of easy 80s from GPS. These things have been rock solid and my kids love them. Thanks for the content guys!
I got one of these for my daughters Christmas last year. I added a touring box on the back for her to put her helmet or drinks in, I used a duromax 212 electric start engine and put the battery in the rear touring box So that it’s hidden and up high enough to be clear of any water. Loved the mega Moto 212 frame came together without any issues except the chain guard being bent during shipping, gopowersports took care of that and I had a new one within the week….
3:45 Go ahead and put two grease fittings in the two holes. Use non water soluble high quality grease and fill it until it reaches the top and bottom bearings. Push the grease until it starts to show up on the outside of the bearings. Water and or dirt will not get into the bearings. Every time you put grease in it, you will push out the old grease through the bearings. That’s what I would do.
You guys are great! I've been watching your show for a long time. Has it been 10 years yet? If not, then it is close! It would be super cool if you guys would bring out a few more of your old projects. I seem to remember a 670 wheelie machine that was really cool. Anyway, great video. You guys have come a long way!
Install grease zerks in your Center Triple Tree tube and grease them periodically to push the dirt out I think that's better than tearing it apart every time to clean it out.
that engine looks sick AF..! I'm an advocate for a vehicle to at least have 10Hp per 100 pounds as starting point. that bike is going to be fun to ride with 30ish HP. 20HP per 100 pounds i call crazy fun.
@@koopsta69 that’s basically what I paid for my R1 but it isn’t about the money. I personally feel that a mini bike should have the small block foundation. So I wanted to push the small block to the limit. Then I found out c&c built one too lol
She's a ripper. Nice to see them put an hour meter on like I suggested on last video. Be interesting to see what kind of reliability a person actually gets out of one of these hot rodded rototiller engines compared to the cost of the build.
Those two holes located on the headstock that could let dust in and ruin the bearings, tap them and install grease zersts so you can add grease occasionally
You guys should build another one of these motors and slap it on a yard kart for your next "Backyard 500"! As long as you tune the chassis so it'll hook up and turn, it should be a real beast!
I think a good "Mythbusters" would be a study of this super duper extra crankcase venting done by most all mini mod folks. IMHO we are adding needless venting. Interestingly, as engine rpm goes up there is less and less gases and air flowing in and out of the vents not the other way around! At higher RPM the flow through these vents is managed more by acoustical function then simple under piston crankcase volume. Think of it this way, the venting is doing very little due to short phase pulse times and when not at high rpm the venting requirements are like a stock motor. These vents have a fair bit in common with how a Helmholtz resonator works in loud speakers moving sound but not pumping air. If the speaker port is too big it will huff and puff air when it should not. Case vents intended function is to relieve pressure changes caused when starting and low RPM, as well as relieving air volume caused by thermal changes. If we needed to keep pressure changes out of the crankcase with every stroke of the piston at 6000 plus RPM we would need to vent with a very short 4 inch pipe. Hate to suggest that removing the opportunity for some brightly colored lines and fancy catch cans and filters might improve things. However I do believe it wont change anything with the integrity of the performance engine beyond keeping oil in it. Increasing the diameter and number of crank case vents will mostly just increase the amount of oil slurped up and allow it to do so at a higher RPM then if the crank vents were smaller. Love your contributions keep them coming and would love to see if this subject interests anyone.
That side cover is a beautiful piece and reminds me of the rear bearing plate for my 8-71 blower when had my blown flat bottom drag boat back in the day named the Prophet. Must be fun working in your shop every day if you do.
Know the feeling… Went from 9 Hp on my Ezgo workhorse, now it makes 72 with a Yamaha Phazer II 480cc lol. First full throttle hit and the wheels are 3 feet in the air… Dotted cotton on that one…
@@AfriqueNY lmao. Means slang for like “scared the crap out of you.” But you didn’t actually crap yourself… Just dotted the cotton lol. Cotton being your underwear lol
Be careful. Riding as fast as that bike can go, without rear suspension, can break your back if you ride over a good sized bump. You can compress your vertebrae into wedge shapes and rupture your discs.
WOW WOW WOW. Great awesome build 👍. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee 2am. Really looking forward to the next video were you can open it up 👏. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
Seeing as that stem nut isn't the locking type,a few drops of blue loctite around the stems threads followed by torquing the nut down would be the proper way to install that nut unless one wanted to make the nut a locking nut using a dull chisel and hammer in 2 or 3 locations around the upper end...
Hello to the cars and cameras team. I really do enjoy your videos. I am someone who stuggles with learning but by watching you I understand it...

Could you just tap those holes on the steering holder tube and put grease fittings so you can load it with grease. Would be funny to be like hey my name is Charles and i have a mini bike addiction. That would be hilarious.

that was the intension of those holes. Thanks to Chinese productions cost cuts never finished the holes with zerks.

That’s a DUSTER!! It leaves everything else in the dust! Nice build guys! One of your best!
Absolutely love the build fellas God bless cars and cameras
It was fun hanging out with you at Busko beach. See you this Saturday for a pull start picnic
I’m running the same gold chain and absolutely love it! No issues with stretching or breaking! I definitely recommend that chain!
Also they do sell a purple chain if you do some digging.

I thought someone died.
Then I realized you meant rip as in a "ride".
what happened to the dirt hog?

ABSOLUTELY-----> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I like ole Charles, he was a great addition to the cars and camera family.
Charles needs the swing arm mod on that bad boy! Hard tails are rough!
That thing is nasty! Great build!
What oil did yall use and did you use zinc additives....how many hours before changing break in oil etc?
Charles deserves a bike of his own and it’s an epic one. Next are the other two builds ;)

a Marine grease will work perfect.

So I’m looking at Jon at 25:50, and I could totally see him with a handle bar mustache 😂
