The Engine is Finally Running!! on the Mini Rock Crawler Project - Part 13
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Today we finally get the SV650 engine running on this mini rock crawler project. For this project I'm using the Fox 2.0 Air shocks. These are air only shocks and can be made hard or soft just by adding more nitrogen pressure. The fox air shocks are super easy to adjust and really light weight, perfect for these smaller projects but they can also work well in jeeps and other light rock crawlers. King air shocks are also a great option if your build is like mine, but I feel like the Fox airs have a better factory valving setup. The Fox air shocks should go together really well with the mini rock bouncer as that's really what they were designed for.
Let me know what you guys think about the switch over to Fox Air Shocks instead of Coil overs Like I've been using?

That thing is going to be a blast to drive. You should invite your neighbor to go riding with you and a few of your toys. Maybe when he hears all the noise, in the future, it will remind him of fun instead of anger.
The look on your face when it finally fired, was priceless! Way to not give up! Sometimes you just have to walk away from a project, I've found. Things usually come to me when I'm lying in bed. That engine sounds angry by the way, absolute music to my ears. Keep up the great work. Love your builds!
Definitely love this guy. He is what every fabricobbler dreams to be and build working in his (or her) she'd building cool shit. I love his "I'll make it work" attitude and out of the box problem solving the most. I am a little upset he didn't just rev the crap out of it when the muffler fell off. Felt a little teased right there but the man is a legend
You are without a doubt the best small engine/go kart/weird things fabricator that is on UA-cam with the exception of grindhard
I'd say his fabrication skills are right on par with gh plumbing
@@davidhamilton7628 I would say better.
How much persons does grind hard have to help get things done?
👍🏻
word man, definitely on par if not better, tough call, all round really great work thats for sure👍👍👍👍
My two favorite fabrication channels no doubt!
That's one hell of a machine Chris! The projects keep getting better all the time. I can't wait to see what you are brewing up for us next!
You need a few more teeth on the sprocket on the motor itself. That'll take up the slack in the chain & It'll spin the tranfer case a lil bit faster with less effort from the motor. Keep up the good work
Glad to see it coming together! In the future don't worry about buying a factory key module. All you need is a 150ohm resistor from a 12v source (acc) to the ignition wire on the ecm. I've built two crosskarts with suzuki motors an 06 and 15, both work with the resistor trick.
15:22 It's pretty cool watching the carb linkage operating. Nicely done, Sir
The sense of happiness and success in you face wen something works out is addictive man keep up the grind
every time I open you tube I always check if there is an up date of the MR CRAWLER, I love this project
Wow! I remember back in the day watching you when you had a few thousand subs.....But now 540K!...I feel like a proud dad
A bit of aesthetic advice. On that pedal you made, rather than have the spring on the topside, which kinda makes it a bit ugly, extend the arm of the pedal, make a hole through the plate for it to go on the other side and mount it below. Cleans things up a bit and makes them more pro looking. Just a little bit of advice. :)
This build is one of your best so far (can't say your best, because that pocket bike is impressive, and basically "chef's kiss").
You oughta look into high-speed capable hydraulic transmissions. Little pump/motor combos, can get up to 30mph but what really matters is they can crawl and pull like crazy!
Sweet! She sounds like a beast! I can hardly wait to see it on the trail climbing some obstacles! 👍👍
Hell yeah man, been ready to see this ripping everywhere!!!
I have been extremely impressed by you amazing creativity and skill. I have wanted to build something like this for many years. Thank you for posting your progress. Really looking forward to seeing what she can do.
I'm doing the same thing with an Odyssey build. It's like putting 10lbs of shite in a 5 lb bag. Like a puzzle you don't have the box to go off of.
I love this channel, so much is actually made from scratch and every other word isn’t go powersports 😂 lookin at you C&C 😂😂😂
And no go powersports HP claims with out dyno proof AKA RBG
Go powersports .
Yoooo I like how you started off the video this time.
love the positivity in this comment section, keep up the amazing work chris and god bless.
So rad. One of the awesome things of the gears and cvt is instead of changing clutch springs for different engagement rpms you can simply just switch gears for wat ever engagement rpm you want so that is kinda cool.
Looking good Chris be careful what transmission gear oil/ fluid type you put in a trans if it has any brass components . Some types of doping will destroy brass .Also make sure you have good brakes with the cvt style trans. Doesn't hold back like a standard transmission.
My sxs has engine braking with its CVT. In low gear it brakes really aggressively.
@@Shredxcam22 I'm sure some do , different design, don't think Chris design will ?
@@larryalexander4833 you can hear it engine braking the wheels when he lifts off the throttle and the CVT had cycled
@@Shredxcam22 it is stationary. No vehicle momentum felt with .
Pretty awesome! Can't wait to get it tested!
Very impressive, been watching the hole build. Looking foward to the finished product. Good luck
Can't wait to see what this machine will go like on the rough stuff,
14:50 It's alive! It's A-L-I-V-E !!!!!!
Excellent! You are really dialing your craft Chris!
I am so happy.. I was right there with you dewd... can't wait to see it crawl
Congratulations well done
Nice work Chris for me it's actually more fun to make and figure mechanical things out then driving it.
Well done Chris. 👍😁
The primary clutch can be tuned for lower engagement as well as side force and peak rpm although not sure how the last part would fit into the equation here. Someone else has already mentioned here that the belt is too loose so it will start in a higher gear ratio.
That primary seems to be a snowmobile unit so it will be tuned for a low torque high revving engine which is why it engages at or above 3000 rpm. Get your hands on a clutch tuning handbook and learn to tune both clutches and you will be happy with that set up. Got to keep the belt dry but well ventilated at the same time. Good luck and happy tuning!
Done it again eh Chris? Yet another fine machine you've built 😁
I wouldn't forget a chain and belt guard or you could attract some interesting scars on your left leg!
This should be fun watching you go rock crawling in it.

I really love the transmission on this thing it might be the best thing for off-roading! Great job as usual 👍
Awesome project,the CVT its defenitly working, that will make the driving more easy and fun. You could put advertisements, it would give you a good help, because this isnt cheap, for me its reasonable for the effort you make
ah the joy of IT'S ALIVE ! Dr. Frankenstein
Dude i cant wait for the first test drive that thing looks and sounds AWESOME!!! 🛠️🔧🔨
I’m constantly amazed by how you figure out how to work with the tools at your disposal, you are ingenious, love your projects! Ever thought about becoming an engineer?
This is a great build Chris. I love how have designed the 4 wheel drive system. You really should check with Harbor Freight about the recall on your stool!!
I really like the separate L/R lock in the front. That could be done for the rear brakes too L/R control.....
8:32 -Looks like he's got the force or something, barely moves his hand and the paper goes flying...
Am I the only one who was impressed by this? XD
they normally have a resister in the ignition barrel that lowers the voltage to a set wire on the ecu
You could run a hood scoop for the air intake for this. You have the room and opportunity for it.
Looks so good! RFID is pita in most late model cars you cannot even mix and match
That thing looks awesome. Can’t wait to see you write it. 👍🏽😎🤙🏽
Man I can’t wait till you get that thing out for it’s first rip. Sounds like a beast. Like most things you build I think we’ll all be surprised how she does! 👍
A polaris transmission is basically a transfer case. I always use a synthetic transfer case fluid.
I can't wait to see how well it works
Good to see somebody actually putting coolant in before the first start
Adjust the sprockets so it engages in 2nd or 3rd. That will give you more top and better torque on bottom.
Just gotta make sure CVT max speed is not exceeded. I would maybe yes play with motorbike sprocket sizes and with CVT springs to get to use lower gears of the bike as well for mentioned better torque.
@@Hellsong89 that’s a good point. At some rpm, the CVT could explode.
You should set up the sprockets where the CVT engages in the middle gears (2&3). The gears in the transmission are closer in size in that range and therefore stronger.... Plus, it'll give you more ranges to use because 1-4 are useless right now.
When In doubt, Go to a larger master cylinder and your weak or even soft brakes should be a thing of the past. Otherwise brother awesome awesome build especially with the whole engine transmission and clutch system combined with the old Iron transmission and CVT which makes your gear ratios infinite! Have always wanted to try and getting a CVT on a multi speed gear box just for S&Gs, But you answered my questions and curiosities on this topic. Great job man! 👏 👍 👌
I am sure the sound just doesn't carry over 100% on youtube, that being that
.. it souds freaking awesome 👍🏼👍🏼.. As soon as it started, I was like "Damn"
Keep up the great work..
I love seeing the excitement on your face. Same look i get . Nice job dude
Brakes will get better after you give them a good bedding-in. If you still need more stopping force, change the lever ratio on the brake pedal.
Brutal!! Much encouragement in future projects
Yowww it's 1:47am here in Philippines and watching your previous build and uploaded new one and watching it...😎😎😎
That's absolutely sick 🔥 Motor sounds like it should pull pretty dang good.
Can't wait to see it rip. 🔥👍✌️
Awesome Chris great to see those wheels turn and that engine running, seeing the sense of achievement on your face man awesome 👍 nice job man😃
cant wait to see this thing rock bouncing !!! nice work
Get rid of the play in the throttle pedal and add the air filters. Then it would be a beast
Awesome Job. Coming together. Can't wait to see you drive it down the road.
love the videos.
Great job. Things really coming together
the starting issue is resistance related, the SV650 key switch has a 100ohm resistor in it that the ecu senses and lets the bike start, thats how it was on my 01 atleast, the cluster looks like a newer FI model though so idk if its as similar as yours, a pack of 50 on ebay is like 12 dollah
Cool dude. Problem solver. Creative. And chill manner👍
Your almost ready to send it.keep up the great work.
"Chris...I think you are one of, if not...'the best' fabricator on the Tube. Hands down, considering the limited tools you have, you put most of the 'outfitted shops' to shame.
I can only imagine how your life would change for the better if you had a plasma table! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PLASMA MFGR's? WHY DOESN'T JUST ONE OF THEM STEP UP AND HELP YOU OUT? How I wish I had the extra money to send you for that! I'm 72 & retired so my funds are limited...sorry!" ...charlie...😎
That’s a hell of a unit. Awesome job
If it’s going rock crawling I definitely put a roll over kill switch.
Last year I bought 2 "Sv650"s from a police auction locally, got home and found out there weren't in fact svs but XF.
They are still 650cc but single cylinder one of which the engine has been taken out and out in a gokart. Disappointed they aren't twins because that sounds so damn good.
Heck yeah man just about to finish up my 670 build
Great video Chris! Love to see er running
Wow. Anyone else notice how slow the vacuum operated throttle bodies reacted? I really had no clue just how slow. But .5 sec or more slower. Holy cow.
VERY NICE !!!! but keep an eye out for you exhaust tho.. at 15:22 you give some gas and you can see the slip-on trying to get away. it would suck if you lose it !
You should be proud as hell
Awesome! Such a change from the beginning, awesome! Stunning, really kool. Phone needs a serious wash so gonna stop here so I can clean phone after video.
Lookin great Mr Chris 👍🏻
If you wanted to build an automatic... You need to get a whole snowmobile... With a big engine and use the engine and clutch and then use the chain case and when you build it the clutches need to be exactly the same distance as they where on the sled..... When your done, you will have a buggy that is fully automatic and that flys. You can even get a sled with reverse..
Be careful with that motor going up really steep stuff. The oil pickup is near the front and it will starve it of oil if you go past a certain angle. And also I think maybe something with the oiling for the front cylinder.
sssssssh
Chris this is Brent in AZ. A good trans. would be the 3 speed from a car they have shift levers on side of rhe case I think that would make it easer to hook up linkage just a fyi. keep up the good work.
Love the sound of that motor. Excellent job on this build so far Chris. Can't wait until you put it to the test as I know it will be a beast.
we can't wait for the next video you are an inspiration for many of us greetings from Mexico
Its alive..hell yea dude..fantastic job
bloody awesome work, i been watching from the start, Well done! hope seat isn't too low down, maybe could put a cheap reverse camera on front so you can see where front wheels are easier
You might need a brake on your transmission so you can switch into reverse if it doesn't have the electric
Far as i understand this setup, issue arises only when CVT transmission is on neutral and you give it revs. That could be bit of a issue if you give the revs while its on neutral moving to forwards to reverse, but if you use bikes clutch and then chance to reverse this should not be a issue, though it could come handly to have in sense a parking brake option in cvt second pulley that could be used to stop it, or since its pretty rare occurrence just wait it to stop spinning. We see it on the test drive how it behaves, not familiar with this these parts to give any proper insight.
@@Hellsong89 I have the older version of his transmission single shift arm with my buggy I need to hold the trans brake or it grind and won't go into gear
You should turbocharge it!!
The wrong lube is better than no lube 👌 keep up the great work dude this machine is turning out to be killer!!
So slick! Great work
This channel is really underrated , wish I could be hanging out with you just to be there to help and learn
gotta love a first start 😁👍👍
death trap, i love it
Great video, fantastic,👍👍👍👍👍👍
A buddy of mine was building a 8 second mustang. He had stuff newspaper in the intake and forgot about it. When a bolted the dominator carb on and fired it up it literally shot newspaper out the exhaust 🤣🤣
I've been here since the dual engine long travel buggie, I always wait excited to see the new video great job!
Looking good. A recluse would definitely be cool. But I feel like the cvt is gonna work fine a well
I would go up a size on width for the cvt belt you'll still use the motorcycle clutch to stop since the cvt is always engaged but the cvt can still do its job so you dont always have to shift
Looking good bother!
You’re just awesome my guy..
Sometime in the future you should try to make a machine with a option to use a CVT clutch system but also have a way to be able to switch it in manual and use the manual clutch and shift the gears like the the cbr 1000 project
This is the coolest thing ever!
