    Easiest way to hit 50 is to fix the motorcycle shown in the first few clips.
    The next is a transmission. A 30 or 40 series torque converter from a go-kart is probably the easiest. You'll also need proper speed rated tires and thicker than bicycle chain.

    @custombikesandtrikes4374 24 дні тому +51

    I build streetlegal motorcycles with that Predator 420cc and get 60 mph out of them. Proper gearing is key, It should have a 6 to 1 gearing. For example, I run a 10-tooth on the clutch, and a 60-tooth rear sprocket on a 24-in rear tire and about 4600 rpm will get 55mph+. Correct gearing and that motor will make your bicycle a lethal threat! Stock rpm on an equipment motor is usually 3600, if you bypass the governor you will get more rpms.

      How does a 420cc engine only get it up to 60 mph? My old 250 Ninja got me up to around 110 one time. Wouldn't it be better to use a much smaller and lighter 2 stroke engine in that case?

    • @custombikesandtrikes4374
      @custombikesandtrikes4374 21 день тому +2

      RPMs is the issue. Stock rpm on an equipment motor is 3600 and with some aftermarket parts, you can bump it up around a couple thousand more rpms. Most modern motorcycles can run north of 6000+ rpms and have the torque and gearing to get there. Small engines lack all of that, especially in stock form. That's why a 420cc ain't going 80mph.

    1. make sure the front main sprocket and rear drive gear are exactly in line with each other vertically (same vertical plane).
    2. add a small gear to the chain tensioner to prevent horizontal sliding of the chain.
    3. don't try to mix bicycle parts and motorcycle parts (namely gears and chains on the same path)
    4. make sure your high mounted axle is 90 degrees to the direction of the frame and is level with the ground
    5. just saw the worst problem seems to be the chain on the cassette drive (5 gears on right rear) is sliding on your makeshift cyclindrical chain tensioner and is throwing the chain, if not attempting to jump to another gear. I can see it in a single-frame screenshot. If you have and address, I can send you the screenshot with an arrow.

    I built a motorized bike this way with a luggage rack and an 80cc predator back in college. Watching this gave me all the flashbacks... I learned so much about how not to do it, but the main thing to fix it was getting the clutch springs right and a chain tensioner. The high center of balance was horrible to keep the bike upright when stopped, but I couldn't really fix that. The chain coming off and locking the back tire going about 25 mph was brown pants worthy.

    A pulley on your chain tension rod would allow for smoother movement/less problems. Having a small sprocket on the engine and a larger sprocket on the bike is going to result in slower speeds. Basic ratio dynamics. You need to have this reversed so that the larger sprocket feeds to a smaller sprocket. Example for every time a large sprocket turns 1 time it should spin smaller sprocket 4 times, this would be a 1 to 4 ratio and faster rotation to the tires.

Plus, the Go-kart engine has a clutch mounted to the side of the engine to where u give it throttle, you GO. I am sorry I cannot spell the word. "T-force clutch". Good Luck! Steve

    For any project like this: Use a Predator 212. The output shaft size gets bigger as the engine size goes up. The predator 212 is everywhere and you can buy all manner of pulleys, sprockets, centrifugal clutches, and even complete CVT transmissions for very reasonable prices. The 420 engine was a bad call. None of the stuff made for the 212 engine will fit the output shaft of the 420. 212cc/6.5 hp is more than enough if you have the ability to shift gears.
    Trust me on this. If you want to try to make your own go kart, motorcycle, etc., use a predator 212 for the power source. Once you have become an expert Franken-builder, you can get more creative with your power source. The predator 212 is also pretty much the cheapest new engine you can buy.
