Grendel's Garage

Приєднався 21 жов 2022
Welcome you Motorized Bicycle Junky, Family, Friend, and/or CO-Workers. Thank you for your support. I wanted to create these videos to showcase the capabilities of the mighty 2 stroke bicycle motor kits you can buy all over the place. They are not perfect, but with the all powerful UA-cam, you can really learn a lot on making them reliable while having a good time.
Grendel is the Nordic methodical monster in the Epic of Beowulf. After reading Grendel by John Gardener, a novel form Grendel's point of view. I fell in love with monsters and heroes of all mythology: Japanese, Celtic, Native American, ect...
I spend $150 a month on all my hobbies, which I have too many of. My point being that once you have the know-how, you really don’t need a lot of money to get into motorized bicycles. Most of my budget goes to saving for cameras and/or a computer that can handle video editing. The mighty 2 stroke is old tech that still has a lot to give in the way of power and reliability.

Victory or Failure
Hope you are all well. As you all know, I have been struggling with this bike. The found CNC mount keeps falling off, pipes have been braking, and overall it's just been a turd. But I’m hoping that this time we have it all sorted out. Thanks for watching
My future for UA-cam is unsure. I enjoy 3D printing, Gaming, Hiking, Crosstreking (I have a suby that stated the Grendel Monster Idea), and home projects. Who knows, I might make some videos on that kind of stuff as well.

Motorized Bicycles, Sealing your gas frame

Hope you all are well and ripping it up out there. In this episode, we are going to attempt to seal the F-Zero gas frame. I’m not going to lie, I did not enjoy this project at all, but the positives will outweigh negatives for the long term. I ended up using this kit from Amazon (POR-15 Motorcycle fuel tank repair kit). If I were to do this project again, I wouldn’t do the first two steps. I wo...

In last week's video, I was on my soapbox talking about how important a helmet is for your safety. As you guys can tell in the thumbnail, we put the helmet through a little test. This was the first ride after buying the helmet and boy I’m glad I had it. Again, If you're getting into this hobby or been riding for years, It’s very important you buy the right gear. Regardless, I still had a good t...
The first thing you should buy for Motorized Bicycles

Hope you are all well and ripping it up!!! When I first got into motorized bicycles, the first thing I did was buy all the upgraded heads, pipes, and carbs. Looking back on that, I wish the first thing I bought was a proper helmet. We only have one shot in this short life and after having my son, I know that time flies by. I want to be there for my son and the best way to do that is to invest i...

Hope you are all well. In this episode, my family and I traveled to Beacon Rock in the state of Washington. Not a lot to say, but I hope you all enjoy the journey. We sure did. If you are interested in the rooftop tent, we bought ours at 4wheelparts. They have a website but you can also find their stores all over. We bought ours from the store itself. Thank you everyone, be safe.

Piston Skirt and Piston Rings

Hope you are all well!! In this episode, we are going to cut a skirt into the piston so we can have a little more air/gas mixture enter into the crankcase. I’m hoping this will have a little more power overall. We will also pick out a good ring for our engine. We will be running just one ring so we have to make sure it is in the right specks. Lastly, we will get our final reading with the timin...

What’s going on everyone!! Hope you are all well. In this episode, we are putting in the 72 Jet into the Avenger 85. We had a good performance last time. I’m hoping to get just a little more out of this engine before we do anything else. We are at a point now where I do not think it is safe for this motor on this bike. Anyways, hope you like the ride.

no, you didn't damage that gasket
41? Phantom dies 50 my guy 🤣
@@EdKennedy-ws8wu yep phantom 👻 will hit 50 out of the box 📦. There is a lot of power 🔋 in the phantom.
@@grendelsgarage9723 dealing with a ys100 built from ground up can't get it running
@EdKennedy-ws8wu dang!! Keep it at, brother!! Love this hobby, but sometimes I want to hit my head off the wall 🧱🙃. What do you think the issue is?
32 tooth sprocket will get rid of vibration
Let's go good job brother she a keeper
If you stop these im unsubscribing
I would like to see you blow a diy copper exhaust gasket you got to hear the copper and apply for best seal
She looks and sounds awesome brother thanks for the ride along brother ride safe
Great video great job with bike runs purfict 👍
Nice ride! Everything in that area is so flat and open and the cheap PZ20 carb seemed like it was running good too! Just Balance the crank to get rid of some of that vibration and make a rear mount for that pipe! I think I'll take the YD100 out tomorrow 👍😁
Heck yeah Gendel, that pipe looks and sounds great! Filter might be leaking
I made a soft mount with rubber washers and a hose clamp all the way around the pipe on my CDH67. Can't wait to see her tuned up!
I still have the fastest LD 100 in the world at 46 miles an hour great video dude nice try🤣🤣
Victory or Valhalla, Grendel. Thanks for the ride.
Keep up all the good work your doing bikelife 😊
Thats a lot of weight on thoses 2 mounting bolts
3rd bike I built a rag flew up hit chain locked bike up quick .bro at 50\60 mph it's scary
Bro gloves and pads

@@joneserupinsmoke9161 I'm impressed with this motor for sure 👌. Good price too.
BRO gear up
@joneserupinsmoke9161 I hear that 🫡🫡. Just got a new helmet ⛑️ gloves and am saving up for some safety stuff. Ride safe 🙏 👌and thanks for the comment.
Very nice man great thinking bud keep up the great work
My man!!! Thanks. It wasn't the most fun project but I have no time in my life to have to go back and deal with a leak. 😅😅😅
Good idea to seal the tank before it starts to leak 👍😁
Seems to be a problem with these bikes so I just wanted to get it done wirh hahah. Thanks for tuning in my man!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I heard they crack on the cable brackets underneath the tank
Interesting 🤔 👀. I will keep my eye on that area. 🎉🎉🎉 thanks for thr info!
Awesome thanks for walking us thorough it bro
You bet!! Now the most fun project.... truly a pain is the butt, but it's done now 😂😂🎉🎉
Ant nothing to it but too do it i feel it brother
😂😂😂😂 thanks bro. I love say that. Runs true in this hobby 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very nice bike bro sucks it leaks bro thanks for sharing it
No leaks, but I just didn't want to build the bike and maybe down the road have to fix a leak. Being a dad has really eaten into my feet time but I'm loving spending time wirh my son🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah same here brother I love being a dad best thing ever and that’s cool I just got the same frame there very nice can’t wait to build mine
@Littleevil9975 can't what to see you build it, brother man! Yep, being a father takes the cake 🎂! Ride hard, my man!!
Does this engine come fully assembled ready to put on or do I have to put it together? Just curious
Yep, this is crucial in my opinion for these frames. Just be careful with the paint yall, absolutely eats it. I know from experience lol
Agreed about the paint 🎨. It's for sure at risk. I was struggling wirh the sealer drying on my paint. Makeup wipes work very well to get the excess sealer off the frame.And paint.
Sorry to see that if your tank had a hole I'm gonna tell you I got my screaming demon v2 bicycle and right off the get go I found out she had a hole called zada let them know the bike was on sale like 400 I paid 100 after arguing with them I didn't know how to fix it yet and neither did they so I Bought another a week after putting in fuel another leak another refund all of it and the front forks weren't adjustable like there sapossod to be so zada corporation sent me another bike and a set of forks by then it had contacted John force famous drag racer they told me red coat tank sealer so I rinced out the tank with acetone and cleaned it poured in red coat rocked it back and forth and drained bam sealed so I got 3 gas frame bikes for complaining lol my tank sealer was 30 bucks and 3 bikes 100 dollars so if your tank has a hole in it call who you Bought it from and tell them might get a little money back at least enough to pay for the sealer it's expensive ride safe brother
Holy cow brother. That is one heck of a deal. I'm gonna tell you this right now.I have not been a fan of bikeberry.. the rims that came wirh the bike were all jacked up!!! They told me to true them. And it would be fine... been to a few bike shops and all of them told me they were F@*#&$; up to bad to trued... Zada on the other hand has treated me very well. Sent me a new carb and a new CNC head right a way no question asked for my zada 100 max. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I don't think bikeberry will be getting another dime from me. 😂😂😂 Zada or CDH power is the way to go for frames.
@@grendelsgarage9723 grendel what seller did you buy your avenger from?
@mikemiller3303 I bought mine from Ken Hinson from Facebook. At the time, they didn't have a wed site. They are selling there Avenger 85 at now. They have a lot more goodies too!! hybridpowerbikes.com
@@grendelsgarage9723 when you took your head off did you notice any pitting where the head and cylinder make contact reason I'm asking I Bought a stage 2 and mine has little pit holes I sent the first one back to Kelly he did another cylinder looks a little better
@mikemiller3303 That is very interesting. I want to say that I did have one little casting divit on the top of the head. I also had a nick in the case where the cylinder and case meet up in the front. Neither have caused issues. With that said, if you're having issues with their motors, maybe try smolik performance 🤔. I believe they are selling Avenger 85s as well. I can't imagine that smolik performance would let a bad motor passed them. Hope that helps, brother.
Why are you pouring sealer in there does it leak
@KevinTodd A few reasons, I had a lot of recommendations to just do it before I got the motor mount up. Now that I'm a dad, time is so so short, and the thought of disturbing it if there was a leak 😳 haunted 👻 me. Lastly, I've had a lot of issues with bikeberry and the rims that came with the bike.... I didn't want to have to go throw that again, so I said the hell with it, I'm sealing it 😅😅🤣🤣. Go move bad move?? I'm not sure. I'm still working on the dam thing!
Had one out of four frames leak it leaked into the seat post tube. Have had issues with two motorcycle came to the shop with problems becuse tank sealer it was coated with some red color sealer
@@2strokecarbtuningportingin187what that's what I am using red coat tank sealer never any trouble In the last 5 years except for 1 I was using klots octane booster it was eating of the tank sealer quite using klots octane booster and everything fine again in 2019 I didn't know how to fix it I got the bike for free email john force race team asking what they do for leaking gas tank that's what was suggested that's why I used it
@2strokecarbtuningportingin187 I've seen people habe issues with the red sealer, so I went this route. Hope it doesn't mess with anything. We shall see. 😅😅
I see you like smolik performance huh hehehehe
Which option did you choose when you bought the head? Was it the minvert 66-80cc option?
Gotta get used to the roads a lil bud geeeesh good thing u had the helmet on 💪🏼💯
Yeah, you're right there. Have not spent up time on the grave roads 😅😅😅. Yep broke in the new helmet hahah 🤣🤣🤣🤑🤑
@@grendelsgarage9723 always do a quick once over the day before never know what can pop up in the path of a cruizer 🤙💨💨💨
What the fuck did I just tell everyone gravel is not your friend god damn everyone is get hurt today
Brother, you are 100 percent right at the gravel! I know right, everone is going down.
The top of beacon rock is pretty crazy when the wind gets blowing.
I can believe that! It was a heck of hike but worth it for sure 🎉🎉🎉
What style mz65 pipe is that? The side or the belly?
This is the side exhaust pipe from gomax industry. Just a heads up. I did have to use a floor jack to bend it to fit my ride.
@@grendelsgarage9723 thanks man. Imma try a torch.
@@grendelsgarage9723 did u get the whole set up from gomax
Beacon rock is 13 miles from my half home town. You were surrounded by bigfoot
😂😂😂 if Bigfoot is real, he lives in that area for sure. You have a heck of a back yard btw!
Hey not seeing the speed
Sorry I had the brightness 🌞 😅 turned down on my phone 📱. We hit 44 mph on that ride❤❤
Good thing ur ok keep in mind that was just 14mpr 45mpr really going be a lot worse if we go down be safe we have a family that needs us alive 🤟
This was a very humbling ride for sure, brother 🙏 🙌. Yep you nailed it. We have family's that need our support ❤️
A motorcycle motor should be the first thing you buy
Respectful 🙏 I disagree. I'm not saying you need to break the bank, but at least a bicycle helmet. Then an Average 85!!! Great work on your build btw! Very well done, boss 👏 👍 👌. Ride safe 🫶 and keep up the hard work 💪
@@grendelsgarage9723 Thank you. I definitely agree. A helmet-brain bucket is the first thing you should get. And the Avenger 85 is the best bang for your buck.
@@SuperTrikeBicycle. you rock brother 💪!!
what size jet do you have in the carb?
I'm running a 72 jet in the Bo Fang. Hoping to up my nibbi PE 19 on her soon. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 🙏
what kind of bike is that?
Good thing you have a new helmet glad your ok brother
Right beother 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ best thing I have bought for this hobby! Didn't want to test it out so fast, but it was humbling. Been loving your work! Keep it up. 💯
That avenger zooms fast 😎
For the price, nothing is better on the market 🎉🎉❤❤
Thanks for taking if on a ride brother I seen the tires got hot a when you where in the dirt you lost some grip , happen to me once too glad too see your good
And that guy that Drove by is a prick 😂 wish him the best
Thanks brother man!! 🙏 yep, the front tire lost grip and down I went 😅😅. I know right, that guy can kick rocks 🪨 🎸 😂😂. Thanks for the support 👍 ride safe!! 👍
Well, at least the new helmet came in handy lol Crashing at 13mph was a lot better than at 48mph. Bike was moving nice though. ice and pain meds and you'll be good as new 👍😁
I agreed on both, brother!!! I'm 100 percent now so all is well. Just trying to get the other 2 bikes on the road so I can upgrade the carb on this old girl. Ride safe 🙏 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's good that your okay. Thanks for the ride, good video be safe
Thank you very much. It was a humbling ride for sure. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 but we will keep ripping it 🤩🤩🫠🫠
lol that other biker, what a dick. always bring tools! my last ride i had to stop like 4 times over a 30 mile ride to fix random stuff. i even brought a giant wrench in my backpack so i could change a spoke if i had to. luckily i didn't!
Dude on the bike WTF. Glad it all worked out.
Right!!!! Who does that... but yep all is well brother Skip! 🙏 🎉🎉🎉🎉
100% that sucks but your obsessive need to ride and swerve. Was 100% the reason you washed out the front end. Bike runs great glad you didn't get hurt. But mostly hope you learned a lesson. Go back and watch every one of your vids you seem to enjoy riding and swerving. Ooo yea dude on motorcycle a peckerhead. 👍
She definitely rips, glad your ok. I've had a few close calls slowing down on gravel.
Thanks! I'm flat impressed with this motor ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉. Grave has gotten me 2 times now. Going to take it easy and petal on gravel next time 😅😅
where you get the fat pipe?
I got this pipe from gomax, but I had to bend the crap out of this pipe to make it fit. Also, it will not fit a felt faker frame unless you mount it with OUT a cnc mount. Check out the pipes for these guys hybridpowerbikes.com/collections/engine-kits They have better pipe from what I've seen for the Avenger 85. They are the designer of the Avenger 85. Kelly and Ken. Sold guys for sure.
@@grendelsgarage9723 how you bend it? a hotgun?
@JackCrossSama I used a heat gun and a floor jack 🤣🤣. Worked great 👍 just go slow 🐌
