Yes it's funny but looks can be deceiving I went through a year getting this thing sorted out where it broke almost every time I wrote it and I tried to do fancy repairs at first but they didn't work so I just made it use school and practical and now I never have to repair the thing
Yes Frankenstein bike... It's becoming more Frankenstein as we speak now the head is JB welded on and the spark plug is JB welded into the head and also the spark plug boot is JB Weld into the spark plug haven't had a chance to even start it yet probably going to do that this weekend and make a video I'm sure it will work but you never know
LA Hover thank you for subscribing I also have a really nice bike as well but this bike is pretty awesome and it proves its reliability it's kind of like a Mad Max bike I love it too
this guy is the best Hover Lmao hes right tho im hitting 40 something on my 44t sprocket i think its cuz my bike is so light and i have a speed front tire lol this guy omg yo
Hey man just wana say u were on of first bike guys I subscribed to when I decided to build my own, now a few months later I love my bike and ur quick simple videos deff gave a starter some general and needed knowledge, ur black cruiser was actually a big inspiration, ignore the haters dont fix what ain't broken and still a reliable ride that u clearly have appreciation for and are proud of glad to see u back man hope to see more videos soon brotha!
metalko koma at least 6500 miles... but extremely hard ridden miles.... I ride this bike very hard in a hilly area and usually wide open plus I use the clutch like it's a race bike Feathering it all the time just to get it going cuz I weigh over 200 lb if you haven't already subscribed Please Subscribe and click the Bell it will help me a lot thanks
Sounds good and a lot of the stuff I say is just bullshit but most of it is spot-on fact and when you're going to ride your bike a lot you can't worry about how it looks especially after a few thousand miles these bikes just turn into grease pits or they just blow up at this don't take it too seriously and enjoy it that's the point right but the funny thing is I am an amazing mechanic and everything else I have is pretty much perfect this is the only thing I rig up like this
I love it dude excellent...! I purchased my first one around seven years ago...! since then I’ve put together ( nine of them four different people who liked mine and wanted to buy one....😃 I enjoy riding them and I enjoy building them .... I only have one left right now because I have a 61 Cushman eagle with a 670 predator engine in it and a Harley , but I still hop on my little gas bike and run around town on it .....! It’s just too easy to get on it , and take off.......❤️❤️❤️🎓🎓🎓
Yep so fun to jump on the motorized bike and just rip around a little bit both Cushman bikes are awesome I know exactly what you're talkin about his the 670 The V-Twin so you basically made it a mini Harley?
How do you like the 49cc I've never had it but I have had three of the 66 Skyhawks and I think they're amazing engine

Yea you can run the bike whitout airfilter and sand can get into there and get throve :D, but that unlucky time when a big enought rock comes in and goes somewhere bad, but cheap engines 👌
Yes I totally understand what you're saying I also see your Enduro or your trail bike I've been riding dirt bikes my whole life and street bikes so yes it makes no sense about the dirt getting in there but my biking Canada I ran off road for for 5 years never had that problem I was running a rear fender but still it's just weird they don't suck hard enough or I've been getting really lucky like you said the motors are really cheap anyways but they get so much better power without an air filter it's weird. I'm sure I could add an aftermarket air filter or a bigger car but I'm one of those people I've never modified not even a boost bottle not even an exhaust I like that they're super cheap and I don't expect much out of it and just ride the hell out of it
@@seedlessgrapes2605 When you run without an air filter I'm pretty sure it makes it run more lean. You also have more air flow so it's not choking as much
@@pedroferreia974 naaah it would be boring and most work is already done, in fact i could even ride it even with the shitfork wich is currently on there
Izumi Konata ouuuuuu fork swap big plays big plays lmao but na I totally understand why you wouldn’t wanna. And btw If need any help troubleshooting feel free to ask I’ve built 3 bikes now
@@pedroferreia974 its just the current fork is just garbage, the brakes aswell. but hey bought that bike for 40€ and shoved the engine in there lel media.discordapp.net/attachments/160027539471990784/609156972675334163/IMG-20190808-WA0014.jpeg?width=203&height=361 planning on putting a big downhill fork in there for the giggles but thats too expensiv rn, all money gone for tools n stuff this month
I find this video to be quite intriguing. im about to take mine 2700 miles to Arizona from NY in a month,....and im SUPER NERVOUS about not making it/something breaking. but you----and this video-----are calming me WAYYY down. thank you. the one and only thing I find disturbing about your bike is the no air filter. shit IS going in there. I hate to tell you. your rear wheel picks up dirt and crap,...and THROWS it right at that opening. (the same way you get the mud stripe on your back with no fenders) I would put the stock air cleaner back on there before its too late. the stock air cleaner offers VERY little restriction, and WILL protect your motor. you happened to receive a good motor from china. you are VERY lucky. don't RUIN it!! getting a real solid motor out of the box from china is rare,..REALLY rare,.... and you're about to score the paper-thin,...super-delicate chrome plated cylinder wall. and then,....your beautiful and RARE perfect motor will be just another pile of scrap. makes me want to cry.
It's weird I never saw your comment I just was going through my video and saw your comment I wish I could have talked to you before you took your trip that is very crazy to take such a long trip on a Chinese motorized bicycle I would understand how it's possible because you can't go on the freeway I would love to know how it's going or if you have left yet
I left ny and headed south thru penn. BIG mistake. penn is NOTHING BUT ENORMOUS HILLS. got thru penn,..virginia doesn't believe in shoulders on roads. not even a white line. just a jagged drop off the pavement into the ditch/gutter. scary. engine quit near Richmond. chain was worn out before then. bike was too heavy. pawned everything in Richmond, bike, tent, everything. greyhounded it to az. was not happy with what I saw in kingman, az. returned home in less than 40 days from my departure. HUGE mistake going so heavy. the whole idea was a enormous mistake
99% of getting a motorize bike to work correctly is setting up properly at the start. Make sure the wheels are true and the spokes are tights, check the bearing pre-loads, make sure everything is aligned properly and all adjustments are correct. I have a suspicion that the people that have poor performance from these bikes don't know anything about proper assembly and adjustments.
@@seedlessgrapes2605 Just subbed! Thanks for the content- I like the way you present the information. I run a kit rag joint sprocket and I've had zero problems with it. But it did take me about 5 or 6 hours over two days to get it set up exactly correct- no side to side or up or down wobble greater than 1mm. I think that is where most people fail in building the bike- they don't know how to get a gear set to zero. Also, I've found some of the main crank to clutch sprockets to be out of round. This will cause premature failure of the bearing and a noisy gear set. The only way to check it is with a dial indicator. Replace it if it's bad and make sure the backlash is less than .030" It really helps to go over the motors before firing it up for the first time. I've found casting slag, dust, grit, and other contaminates inside the motors. Giving them a good clean and fresh oil coating before the first firing up will go a long way to thousands of trouble free miles.
@@tjsogmc you are very smart I also love the rag joint it works really well for me and the sprocket is probably the most important like you're saying for me especially when turning I go pretty far cuz I'm on a motorcycle rider so I have to have it lined up otherwise the chain will come off
Got mine ordered (zeda 80 triple 40) i got the spring loaded chain tensioner clutch cover because u figured the stock tensioner would end up in the spokes it shiped today, im puting holes in the bottom of the magneto cover because i agree its the heat
And it took me so many years to figure out why I was burning out the Magneto and I couldn't figure it out and I think it was the heat also I think condensation but those little holes relieve the condensation and allowed to dry out
Yeah I agree with that other comment ignore the haters cuz honestly that bike seems to be doing really well it's expected to change a spark plug or a CDI or a Magneto every year or so if you're riding a lot so that's pretty good and yeah sometimes you got to do what you got to do to make your transportation reliable
Oh yeah by the way 6 9 200 lb and my 29er gets me to work and back everyday uphill downhill easy and yes hitting 40 + with 44 tooth sprocket just got to learn how to tune everything and Port match knowledge is power I really like your bike man that's what I would call true
Yep. I totally agree with you if sitting outside in a rainstorm 2 days ago and last night. A huge wind storm and I'm sure it's going to start right up. The only issue it's had its whole life is a big intake leak that I can never fix. No matter what I did so it just idles high but I controlled out with the kill switch and it goes down after about 2 seconds. Throttle broke about a week ago and I did a rigged repair and it just broke again. So I need to get a new one.
Please Subscribe if you have not already at helps me out. Do you have a motorized bicycle? I'm guessing you do but some people don't. That See these videos.
@@tomthefox3365 Look up Phantom bikes where I live. You can buy one brand new for 499 completely turn key built-in gas tank into the frame. They look awesome front suspension good tires and a 4-stroke motor. They're nice.
Dude loved ur vid ride on brother Just built my first one finished tonight gonna fire it tomorrow oh by the way I bought this engine 15years ago lol still in box never used
I put over 10k miles on my cheap Chinese motor years ago when it was my only transportation. Took it to work, class, shopping. Rain snow, put a 36t socket on it. 45mph easy and I'm 250lbs.
VERY GOOD.... I'm glad to see somebody else out there can understand how these bikes run because people don't even believe that my bike goes 40 miles per hour it's kind of funny to me
I filed down my throttle cable nubs and stick it into the break lever. I took my air filter off and just put a baby sock over the hole with a zip tie to keep big shit out. The spark plug that came with my kit was bad so I replaced it and it was set. 29in mtn bike from Walmart I replaced the shitty front shock fork with a rigid steel fork. I loved building my bike.
i recommend removing the exhaust cap from the bottom it makes it a little bit louder but it gives it more power and more torque from bottom end as well
I built mine never really rode it more then around the neighborhood. Took it downtown 15 miles there and 15 back. Last 4 miles rear rim exploded. I fixed it sorta. I’m hopin it’ll work
Ive riden mine for over 300 miles mostly on trails like a dirtbike and the only problem I ever had was a gas leak every now and again. I recently hit a tree bent the forks. But i have new forks one thd way cant wait to get back out on it.
Dude riding these on dirt is the most fun especially if you have dirt bike experience there's nothing like these because it's a lot of effort and super Sketchy
It's good to see the same forks that I have holding up because people say not to run them! I have an old late 77 or so AMf and a free spirit but basically theyre the same frame as what you have! Same rims and tires too 26×1 3/8
That is a good idea now recently well three or four months ago I wrapped it with chrome duct tape and it looks funny and works good I'm just going to leave it like that for now
Lol damn. That thing is rigged up to work like a farm tractor. Bailing wire holding everything together lol. Not like I ain't guilty lol. I make my own intake and exhaust gaskets with aluminum from soda cans and RTV silicone lol.
idk whats up with my bike and its pretty much brand new only 6 months old and my carb whent bad so i got another and now it wont give spark so i got a used spark plug from my friend and im going to put it on today. idk how i just loose spark 10 minuets after riding all i did was change brake pads that day
Integgy if your kill switch is still hooked up cut one of the kill switch wires and that will tell you if the kill switch is grounding out and of course make sure your spark plug is good but I'm one of the people that doesn't obsess over spark plugs I've had the same spark plug for 10,000 miles they last a long time but most likely it's your Magneto but try cutting the wire for the kill switch if that doesn't work you can also check the connections where you plug the wires from the Magneto to the coil I always solder those myself just to make sure there's no problems
Seedless Grapes My apologies! It’s a Huffy from 2000! It even has the original Training Wheels and Bulb Horn! Very cool! EDIT: Father put the banana seat on it.
Are you telling me that? Or were you trying to answer someone's question because I would hope everyone knows that I knew that when I was probably four or five years old. I also knew how to patch my own Tire when I was three or four.
Seedless Grape f****** sweet awesome videos man keep them coming from the future I'm pretty new into this motorized bike stuff but do you have a good recommendation for a motor kit that is reliable yes I know you got to do daily maintenance and checking for just a good motor what kind and where at please help
i spend half a day messing with the carb and did something and it magically worked perfect after that, i was able to ride trails up north for the whole week
Yeah those studs being welded straight into the bottom of the gas tank are scary- when I tighten them my ass tightens up too and that's how I adjust the torque- lol
I just lost the gas tank permanently because the weld finally gave out and it was the day I was going on my trip literally 10 minutes before I was leaving so I threw on the xr50 tank that was on my Honda mini trail bike
This will happen a lot if you install the sprocket incorrectly when you're tightening the spokes they are reverse thread and the spoke that goes to the right side of the wheel will pull it to the left when you tighten it. So if you want to straighten your wheel ask me another question, I'll try to make it more clear, but it has to do with your sprocket. You have to make those bolts really tight. Otherwise, it will shift and hurt your spokes eventually breaking them.
I have put several of these together. I have one that has several thousand miles on it, but the motor has become very weak. I plan to rebuild that one, making three I have that run. I have put together and rebuilt a number of them. I'm the real deal, I ride these bikes all over the back roads of Montana, which I plan to youtube next year. There are not very many of us that are dedicated to building and riding motorized bikes.
THE THING IS MATE,ITS YOUR BIKE,I REMEMBER MY FIRST CAR,,THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS ORIGINAL,AND THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR,IT WAS A FIESTA GHIA 1.4 with a cavalier door on it,,,YES I HAD THE PISS TAKEN OUT OF ME,BUT I DIDNT HAVE TO WALK
I can believe the the long life on his bike but the MPH stated with that motor ,back sprocket and his weight is complete BS . Dream on buddy.... NO FREAKING WAY !!!!!!
Riding without an air cleaner is awful. Even though it looks like there isn’t any dirt in the carb, pieces of sand, dirt, and dust will get sucked in, and there are all kinds of metal to metal surfaces in an engine. When sand and dirt get into these surfaces over time, they’ll destroy them. It can cause bearing failure, scoring, etc. ask me how I know, I’ve seen two stroke dirt bikes that have been run without any air cleaner, and eventually they’ll wear their crank bearings, big end and small end bearing, and bore out faster than they would with a air cleaner
Yes I'm actually a professional mechanic and an engineer I totally understand the concept but would this Chinese Indian made motor bicycle it doesn't matter it seems like nothing matters I can run 50 to 1 oil 61 oil or 10 to 1 oil motor oil two-stroke oil gear oil it doesn't matter and I use the same spark plug for 10,000 miles now with my new spark plug that doesn't even fit in this cross threaded into the head I have 500 miles on it it's running perfectly
Seedless Grapes Yeah. I usually don’t run an air filter on cheap engines unless it’s something I’ve missed out to keep internals clean. Depending on where you live etc, the dirt can be harsh.
Love the video! This is so relatable because I do stuff like this all the time lol 😂 also just wondering is this the 49cc motor or the 66cc motor or something else? I want to get one but where I live only the 49cc is street legal :( I’m just wondering if the smaller one is worth it
Most of the kids that's a 80cc are actually 66cc or somewhere in the 70cc range if you can order self the Skyhawk 66cc motor it is by far the best and most reliable
Totally I think the thing one dude said when I made one, "this is supposed to be fun, u take it to serious it will stress u out, it's a 100 dollar engine, don't stress but stress the f out of the engine"
It’s funny you should say that back when the eagle first came out people would put saddlebags on them which I had on mine years ago and they would call them mini Harleys ...! My original motor sounded incredible , but it just didn’t have enough power or speed or not for me here in The hills and mountains of sweet home Alabama...! So eventually I decided to do a conversion....! It took a few thousand dollars to do it correctly but it was worth it....! By the way I do have a Harley....😹😹😹 if you subscribe or go to my page you’ll see all kinds of cool videos ...❤️❤️❤️ , a little different than other peoples pages...🎶🎵❤️🙏🎶🎵❤️🙏
You seem to have gotten a good old kit! It has me wondering if you were to get a new kit would it last as long?either way good to see ya bud! Stay safe out there!
I just rode it yesterday. Now I only take it for trips like one mile or two miles at the most a couple weeks ago. I took it to pick up weed from the clinic because we have legal marijuana here.
And my other black bike that's also on my channel a couple of times goes 40 miles per hour and it's completely stock as well just the exhaust cap is removed
What's the longest you can rum the bike in a 24hrs Can you run the bike 4hrs or 3hrs start before it's get hot and let it rest .I want to know so I will not tear up my motor ? Can you drive it all day like a car ?
You definitely can't drive it all day like a car in fact I'm not even sure if you can drive it for more than an hour especially if your bike doesn't run that good because he seemed to have problems all the time
I guess you haven't taken your trip yet if you really are planning on it I would get a bike with a more reliable engine but you can use the same sprocket setup
I LOVE RAT BIKES OF ALL KINDS. Your a Real Man with no concern of my or anyones opinion. Your my new Hero. Thanks for making this Great video. Im making my first bike as Im watching this video, wish me luck.
