Chris, there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed over here! This is precisely the purpose of a TEST run; to get a feel for the machine and work out any obvious kinks. In fact, I'd say this test run was a great success, as you were able to walk away with several changes in mind already. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into both fabricating and filming/editing!!!

@NightshiftCustom 3 года назад

street bike motors have very close sized gears to keep the bike in its power band area when you shift the more you gear it down like he has done the closer the shifts become my buggy does 100 in first but will only gain about 20kms each shift at redline was like 40ish kmh each shift when in the street bike stock

@calholli 3 года назад

Yeah-- at 16:00 you can see that where the cable hooks up to that little stubby arm-- the arm is far too short, and that is taking away all his leverage and mechanical advantage. You have to think of this pivits and arms as "gears-- except instead of counting teeth, you are just counting inches away form the center pivot. Its simply too short of an arm.. It will be easy to fix if he just reads this and sees exactly why its wrong... He'll get it.

@garagebuiltoffroad9432 3 года назад

You have Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about! It would been difficult to calculate the gearing without knowing the ratios in the 3 speed. It’s freaking sweet! Be proud!

@MrArcticPOWER 3 года назад

It's actually pretty easy to do, you just need to count how many revolutions the input shaft needs to turn before the output shaft completes one revolution. Repeat for every gear and it'll give you the ratio for each gear. The bikes output ratio is pretty easy to find, and from there, some basic calculation will give you the right gears you need if you want to go at a certain speed. It might sound complicated on paper, but look how much time you waste trying to figuring out the right gearing just by ''winging it'', on top of buying sprockets that you don't need. And after all that, he still has now clue what sprockets he needs to buy, and looking at how he designed his trailing arms, he might need to modified them if the sprocket's size needs to change a lot.

@rckeith 3 года назад

It looked to me like you didn't have enough clutch throw. When you were stopped and put it into 2nd it lurched a bit. So it looks to me like the clutch is dragging a bit. Fantastic build and the suspension looks awesome.

@dvdouden 3 года назад

Exactly. Also considering the clutch problems from the last video, this may be exactly what is causing the shift problems. My bikes with hydraulic clutch used to suffer from problematic shifting from time to time. Never had that problem with a cable operated clutch. Those just break and then you're stuck :P

@ActivityPhoto 3 года назад

Exactly clutch is not disengaging enough. Also you should be able to shift with clutch easily once in first gear.

@MrBooshScadoosh 3 года назад

To shift without clutch you have to rev match the engine to take the load off the gears, and hes not able to do that(its alot easier on a bike). Its always accell or decel on this buggy and u cant shift out of a gear like that. I think its his clutch. U dont need much leverage at all to change gears

@NOONE-hp8bw 3 года назад

Motorcycle gearboxes dont like changing gears when sitting still, that's just how they are. But if you're having issues when its moving along then theres probably something wrong with the shift forks and if its popping out of gears when going along then theres probably something wrong with the dogs in the gearbox or theres might be something wrong with the gear shifter mechanism that you made

I've been stoked for this build from the start. I haven't seen anyone do that rear suspension setup and I love it. Plus I have a sweet spot for street bike motors. for the gearing, just replace the sprocket on the input of the 3 speed trans with a front sprocket, like a 17-tooth. For the shifter, put a second cable on the other side. That way you're not pushing through a cable, you're pulling with it in either direction you move the shifter. That's just my two cents. Love the build though!

for sure the best build on you tube. 🤘🤘

@colerippeon3903 3 года назад

It seems to be geared perfect, you just barely revved it at all. If i recall the engine has a redline right around 10000 rpm. In the video it sounded like you were only around 3k to 4k rpm

Exactly

He was in sixth for god sake!

@MrArcticPOWER 3 года назад

6th gear in high range should be geared to go at least 120mph, not 30! Especially since he has 18 freaking gears.

@colerippeon3903 3 года назад

I know everyone, but lets say he never broke 4000 rpm in 6th. He still has another 6000 rpm to go. Im just saying id do the chain guards first, then open it up and see what it does. Its a dirt machine, it shouldnt be geared exactly like a streetbike.

@MrArcticPOWER 3 года назад

@@colerippeon3903 He said he didn't get past 8k rpm. Even if it's only 6k rpm in the video, he never went over 30mph. That translates to 50 mph at 10k. Do you really want a 1000cc buggy that needs to readline in 6th to go 50 mph? His ratio is at least 3 times to slow.

@bowtie0069 3 года назад

It didn't sound like it ever changed gears, and what about the 3 gears in the trans-did you ever try another? You are such a great fabricator, but you seem to have no idea what your engine or trans is doing while you stumble along.

I'm sure he knows if it shifted or not man, cmon, seriously?? Disrespectful.

@tyedredge743 3 года назад

You can hear him get to Atlanta 5th

@bowtie0069 3 года назад

@@M.TTT. He even said he didn't know what gear it was. "Disrespectful", No-Factual, yes. He just isn't that sharp with engines and transmissions, but I bet he could build one from scratch--he just couldn't tune it!

Congrats! Great fun seeing your videos and I really enjoy the simplicity of the solutions you use. Just a hint, when you take a curve, the front wheels seem misaligned.

You could go to electric solenoids for the shifter yet to him on there so you just hit the button and that goes one way and hit the other button it goes the other way

old GM door lock solenoids :) or new door popper ones lol

That sounds like you're running with dead cylinders...... Those engines wind out !! My neighbor in Phoenix builds sand rails out of Rocket engines all the time.... That thing should be screaming & shredding turf with front wheels off the ground !!!

@codysimpson4959 3 года назад

Sounded like he was low rpm the whole time. Something has to definitely be off.

@thistledewoutdoors3331 3 года назад

@@codysimpson4959 I'd def pull plugs and do a leak down test & go from there.... Every rocket I've ever has that high rpm Scream... I've had a half dozen bikes

@rprokopow 3 года назад

He never revved it out because of the lack of chain guards and shifting. He said he never went full throttle. That thing starts right up and sounds perfectly fine

@NOONE-hp8bw 3 года назад

It sounds different because of the exhaust

@vettepicking 3 года назад

I would get rid of the reverse transmission and add a starter motor reverse setup on the chain drive.

It was brilliant, of all the things that could have been an issue you only had the gear change, the gearing wasn't a problem it works perfectly just need different ratio.. Great job 👍👍

@davidschminke9036 3 года назад

I had quite a similar problem with a gear box I didn't know the ratio of on a 4 cylinder quad. But now with a similar middle axle to yours I'm just running a standard front sprocket at the motor and 2 identical on the middle axle and then just a like 40 teeth sprocket at the "output" axle, works great.

@JMJM75257 3 года назад

better gearing + gearshift mechanism + a somewhat light rear sway bar is all that you need to be great buggy!! well done so far you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

@Konigkev 3 года назад

Amazing man!

@johnnys1650 3 года назад

I figured it out. Steering wheel is off by about 8 degrees. That would accommodate for about 32% static drive train loss which compromises final gear ratio. Joking aside... Great build. Can't wait to see it fully dialed in, things gonna be scary fun
