YZ450 Powered Cross Kart First Ride
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Today we finish up the last things on the YZ450 cross kart and take it for a ride. I build a kick starter, make an upper engine mount, and build the rear brake line. We get everything ready to go then find out the engine is locked up from moisture. We use good ole PB Blaster overnight to free it up. After about 100 kicks she fires up for the first time. We take it out for a quick spin until the engine almost over heats. It needs a regearing to get the most out of this kart and the cooling system done.

I realized after filming this that I never bled the cooling system before riding. That's probably why it was overheating. We have a lot of parts coming for this build to make it as fast as possible. Then We race the supercharged buggy!!! STAY TUNED!
I think the smallest front sprocket is a 12 tooth.
Add a temperature gauge
what ever happened to that king quad?? haven't seen that mug in awhile
@Red Beard garage I need some help😢 I hit you up on Facebook
What year is the engine ?
Being a dirt bike guy and knowing a lot about engines, I was inspired by this channel and somehow convinced my teacher to let us build a 250 2 stroke shifter kart to do colorful burnouts at our football games, it’s gonna be sick 🔥💯
I wish my high school let us build stuff. We literately did nothing in shop class. No budget and no enthusiasm from the teacher.
That’s what’s up ⚡️⚡️
I absolutely love watching these videos,y’all know these engines inside and out,literally. You give people inspiration to get good at building these engines. Your process of building shows people how to build up their engines in a straight forward,highly technical tutorials basically.
@@RedBeardsGarage same
@@RedBeardsGaragesame I went to Cascade School in Wartrace Tennessee everyone when to our house and built stuff with Dad and I in our shop after school and summer
Speaking of PB Blaster, got their dry graphite spray for my toolbox bearing sliders and the drawers open a lot smoother now. Also their garage door spray is a must have for the torsion springs and hinges. Spray those once a year and you'll extend the life of the door and springs.
Kickstarting tip from 15yr experience as a Yamaha tech. Slowly cycle the kick lever until you roll up on the beginning of the compression stroke, reset the lever, then curb stomp that mufuggin’ kickstart American History X style!
If everyone was as creative as this guy, the amount of awesome projects would be endless, love watching him 🔥💯🇺🇸
Well thank you sir. Glad to have this one running. Sometimes I overwhelm myself with projects lol.
America would be a better place 😁
Awesome job !
The yz 450 is my favorite engine. I’ve built quite a few, my son turned me on to them. I had always run 2 stroke 250z till I drove my sons 4 stroke 450
5 valves in that head to get the gas needed to feed that beast! It turns like a 2 stroke !
It won’t let you down!!!
But do you think it’s underpowered I’m this heavy kart
Get that fan buzzing! As heavy as that is it will be maximum fun if you are shifting into 4th at 50mph (assuming you have 6 gears). The gearing will also help keep it cooler.
So I'm a die hard Yamaha guy. Not sure what year that engine is but it looks like an old 5 valve engine which is good because the valves are titanium. The 4 valve engines are great but they won't make as much power as these are capable of. My dune queen is a 2003 yz450. I put a 505 big bore kit in it, weisco forged piston, ported and polished the head myself, did a custom grind on the cams, I run it on c16. She makes 73 hp at the rear wheel. It's an absolute monster. I've gotten her to 240-250° and I've never had any issues. They're by far and away the most reliable liquid cooled 450cc engine there is end of story. I've owned them all, honduuuh, ktm, kawisucki, Suzuki, and Yamaha won my heart because of the reliability. If you wanna get rid of the popping lash the valves. And ur gonna want to change that oil and the filter every 8 hours. Also look into a power now valve and a billet lectron carb.
Boy I'll tell you what - putting that 12 tooth in will make it a ripper, but get that fan and thermostat in!!!. WOW!!!
Damn,son,she rips! Great build. I’m glad y’all add the scriptures in the videos too. It can’t hurt to give people a little taste of faith,when it’s so needed these days. Maybe it’ll help get people to be thankful for their blessings.
just want to say well done. I appreciate someone that can combined their natural gifts and spiritual gifts.
Burris racing products sent me to this channel, Holy Ship Anchors I didn't realize Blaster had that many products, time to order them all up. Great channel
And even better idea for the Kickstarter would be if it was removable. Make a place to store it built into the frame Until you need it. That way you don't have a chunky weird thing sticking off the side
It is removable. Just pull it out and put it on the frame.
Cool build,changing the front sprocket will transform it!
Can we just admire how strong this man is to be able to push down on the kick start with one hand
Can we laugh at you for thinking it is difficult instead ?
there's a decompression lobe on the exhaust cam of that engine
Ok now I realize why you was so wore out when you called 😂 I never enjoy kicking anything! Lol
A winner never quiters and a quiter never wins.👏👏👍👍 I have always wanted to do what you have achieved...
Let’s goooooo! That thing looks like a ripper! Love this build.
Great video, I love the scripture, I love the family participation, I love the clean comedy...awesome work!
By far my favorite build. And im saying this and haven't heard it fire up in this video yet
I love how rbg is telling use how he needs to add a battery and get he fan working before they ride it again, then immediately cut to Lonny ripping it. At least it’s been peer reviewed lol
Super cool buggy. Looks great. Looks like it all works great. That motor should be on gravy bones. That sweet buggy wants one of them single cylinder 600 units. Sure would look good with gold and purple. Nice job
OMG, now I’m excited! Time to get this thing ripping right!
Not the engine I would have gone with but the chassis is Sweet
Oh for frog snacks… I guess if you weren’t so fuggin’ we Todd did, you’d know it wasn’t his choice either. The donor bike was donated to him.
I have some YFZ Rads in the shop, and 2-3 fans we can send back with you, I’m so impressed it actually ran as good as it did considering your water issues! With the gearing and mods you’re about the throw at this, we should get close to RZR 800 power this is gonna be fun!
When we combine forces, she will get perfected! I also think I have air in the system. I never properly bled it.
@@RedBeardsGarage gon be slicker than owl snot!
A forward/reverse gear case would be next level
GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE TO GRAY BEARDS GARAGE😂😂😂😂😂
A rekluse manual TQ drive clutch wouldn't be a bad idea for this setup or the new CX 4.0 auto. Cool build!
When the 12 tooth sprocket gets put on then we'd like to see that video for sure.
That thing is way to heavy for that engine. That is why people put street bike engines in them. You have double the weight that engine was designed to move. So, while the cart is really cool, that engine will fail very soon. They dont even last that many hours in the 200 pound dirtbike. Get you a used 4 cylinder street bike engine and put that in there. Then you can pull wheelies with your cart and not have to worry about hurting the engine. You will be a lot happier with the performance! Great fab work BTW!!
Very cool! Great to see it moving forward and can't wait to see the next video!
Awesome Brother an thank you for the Bible verse!!! God Bless you and your family !!!
This dud is really cool great job on building it looked sounded great and like u said change the gears will be spot on !! I would love to ride it for sure looks like a blast !!
Just makes me want to see the Harley kart running can't wait for that
Congratulations Team RedBeard ! You worked on this hard when you had chances,and it's paid off with a real Ripper,that looks pretty smooth over the surfaces you were testing on.
Glad to see you getta ride that thing finally
"Im tired boss!" I lost it 😂😢
I loved the bible passage as much as the buggy build. I'd never heard or read that one before.
Sounds so sick! Nuthin better than a big ol single poppin and spittin 🙌💥
Once regeared it will be amazing.
The Yz450 crosskart reminds me of our Single seat mini rail buggies dad built us growing up they are all over your area in Tennessee dad built all 5 of us our own buggies and all the neighborhood kids he also built UTV trucks similar to Polaris Rangers and John deere gators out of Riding lawn movers and Garden Tractors we also built off-road mowers
It's alive!!😂 look like a hoot. Iron out the bugs and have a blast!
Alright that looked like so much fun. I have a 1980 something Chenoweth that was powered by a VW and the plan is to repower it with something like a J32. Would love to do a manual setup. Right now I've got a couple other projects ahead of this one, like rebuilding a IH TD-6 and refurbing a DoAll bandsaw. I'm contemplating moving the engine up front on the Chenoweth and making it AWD. Either way watching you drive that gets me excited about my project as well. Thinking about doing a turbocharged J32 and running E85 because it's cheap and easy to get by me. Either way rear engine and 2wd or front engine and AWD it should be a hoot to drive when it's done.
How soon before that becomes electric start lol man! You earned that one!
Dude nice, you should have a race between this and your supercharged v-twin buggy.
Trust me it’s coming in just a few weeks.
That thing definitely has enough power for a "Gravybone" size dude!
Great fun build! I love the scripture mid way. It through me off though. It say 1 Corinthians but it's in 2 Corinthians. Nice Work!
All you have to do to pop start it is hold up on the shifter so the clutch is engaged, and once it is rolling, let it down. It's just like dumping the clutch.
I don't get why Christians use fake cuss words when we all know that you mean the same thing.. just be truthful, it doesn't make you a bad person ..you guys build cool stuff. You're not going to hell for saying what you mean...Being a good person is all it takes as I'm sure you are.. I just moved back to Florida from Maryville TN due to work. I sure miss it there.. .. Great job guys..
Haha fast little bugger when you can't get past 2nd gear. For me I would of liked the shifter handle to be shorter and put a big Qball on it. Killer show as always RB 🎉 ✌️💛🙏 to you and the fam.
Maybe get a bigger radiator dual fan setup mounted high higher on the roll bar and just build a fan shroud with a roof air scoop and build the body and fairings off of tha andt built for functional airflow
Can you weld a bracket on the tubing? Close to the kick start and put a large return Spring on it. But connect to the Kickstarter to help Return to place. It's not that big of a deal lifting with your foot.
Make shifter about 10 12 inches will work way better and get motorcycle type brake cylinder should help
Bring that thing out to Cali and let's go to glamis!
We need to set up a trip down there once we get a few more done!
@@RedBeardsGarage let's gooo
This thing is legit! Love the setup.
Really needs that gearing redone. when that happens its gonna be a ripper for sure
Oh yeah I also listed you on my GPS purchase I just made for like $600. Hope it helps
Your beard is work of art 👍
Just imagine a 1000 or 1300 GSXR engine in that thing lol.
That's exactly where my brain went...a Busa engine would nearly smoke the tires on dirt!
@@LPSrcbiker oh yeah but wow would it be fun!
Most definitely would move the radiator or add a splash shield to your neck area. Just seems like a big risk if something were to happen and it boiled out the cap or blew a line. Would hate to see anyone get hurt. As for everything else it seems awesome! Hope your having fun with it!
Might need a larger radiator now that it's pushing a heavier machine. Or maybe the lower gearing will help alittle
The rad would be good in front, mounted with a little Slant with the fan only problem coolant hoses. You might have to some how engineer some cool air induction ports for radiator since it's in the rear. I just opened the video and the red was the first thing I noticed, in the fan are you pushing or pulling air and how does that work, maybe get a bigger radiator? I can see there's going to be overheating problems. The suspension looks really good
Thing is nasty! I need that engine on my go kart or any yamaha 450 or honda cr500..
Boa Noite tudo bem sou do Brasil parabéns pelos projetos de kart que você faz
I live in western North Carolina and I would love to come over and fly my paramotor from your field. It's a 2 stroke and off road lol so it kinda goes along with your channel! Lol
Cool build, motor sounds lean though
I wish the companies would make ATV's or carts like that again
God bless you guys. If this is your day job I'm jealous! LOL. Having way too much fun to call that work.
That thing is sick! If that motor ever lets go swap it for a kfx450 so you have reverse!
Looks fast! Looking forward to seeing some drifts and jumps once you get it sorted 👍
Hell yeah I'm looking forward to that, great job on the build
God bless RBG
Biger radiator it's geared for bush hills depends what you like. what type of area your in. Well done nice billed 👍
Man I first remember fist seeing a yz400f and I wanted one so bad
Nice build! A 700 Raptor engine would have been better suited! and the shifter handle, it's too long, get into some rough terrain and it will be shifting gears on it's own.
What great videos. Just started watching and the content is interesting, informative and nice to watch. Thanks
Might want to switch up that kick starting technique
Cool, very cool build, I like what you're doing. RUclips is great, I might be wrong but it seems like guys feed off of other guys ideas and the result is some really cool creations. The other thing I have to comment on and I can't be the only one but wow what a beard, that is some true man pretty right ther 🤜🤛
Red Beard I think you need to try to get POR to sponsor. Or at least a tarp sponsor.
red beard likes bass? i see them 2 12s or 10s back there
I have always loved bass. I don’t see how you can’t lol.
Great video red beard keep it up❤
Thanks again
Love the kicker lol 😂
Put a counter weight on your kickstart to help the recoil spring "get it up"
Hahaha it was zooming in and I was like what the hell is going on then that dumb and dumber scene took me out. Hahah
Dude it sounds and looks so awesome iv been following along I couldn't wait to see this thing rippin i agree it definitely needs to be geared shorter that puppy probably dose 45 mph in 1st gear 😂
"Lets just hope the thing isn't hard to start" Bro you cursed yourself. You have no one else to blame.
Red Beard I think you have been starting out in second gear. Cause isn't the shift pattern 1down Neutral 2345N6 cause depending on the year of that motor trans combo I think sum are
1downN5up for6speed
1downN4up for5speed
Any how luv your family friendly content look forward to the next video.😊😊
The build is nice, but that back drop is beautiful! Where are you located
Cool . I like it , maybe a bigger twin or inline 4 though.
Red …Duke 1290 Engine in a Cart would be a great buggy power plant
Very expensive motor unfortunately….
Awesome Build so far looking forward to new gearing
I know you were just testing it, but that engine should rev to like double what you guys were hitting, right? Much more power up top?
Agree. Sounds lazy. I’m guessing low compression. It also looks hard to start. Just like my Pitbike when it had zero comp.
Need to check valve adjustment and with the bigger than stock exhaust and no airbox like a bike would have the carb needs to be rejetted.
Move the radiator to the front or at least direct air to and change mounting angle of the radiator
Greg. This thing is awsome. Been thinking bout perfect engine. I think kfx700 b perfect
You need to make a scoop that pushes air threw and protects you from hot fluids
Time to put sport bike motors in these things!
So she's a "big end" rig. No biggie. Salt flats are calling you. 😂
Sweet build i have a yfz450r quad nd recently put some amazon/china tires they are wanda brand with a x pattern tread like the maxxis tires but the lugs are meaty like 3/4 inch or bigger nd they hook like you wouldnt believe if you feel your self fighting for traction on this build check them out they are cheap too
man that think looks sick
You know what would be a cool addition? A turbo.
IS THE COMPRESSION RELEASE SET UP?
THAT WOULD MAKE IT HARDER TO KICK TO.✌
