A 3 into 1 exhaust would be really cool to see too! Be interesting to see if it effects the power band at all with the amount of exhaust scavenging it would produce
Considering the engines are not timed together the effects would likely be restrictive due to the large size of that exhaust, but if they all ran off of one 3 cylinder coil that could work well...
@@Grannybang35 You would literally have to sync all the cranks within a degree of each other which isn't possible, Thats true for the ignition and the exhaust.
You can really gear that thing high with all that torque! Get'em on the top end! What would happen if you ran 2 clutches and the rear motor and a torque converter?
@@williammckinney4971 the torque converter would have to go on the rear. You are modifying the output speed with the cvt, and the goal is to keep the engines spinning at the same speed while changing the output to the drive chain
Been going since I was a kid and at 47, I go every chance I get. As a kid, I remember seeing people watching the race for free from the top of those pine tree's across the street. Lol
Friends, What a sweet mini drag Bike! I feel that direct sprocket couple the three engines to a torque converter clutch jack shaft. Then to the wheel might be super fast! Thank you
I havent missed a video since your C6 Corvette review, which i believe was your first or second video. These years have gone by fast and to see what you guys have turned this into is beyond extraordinary!
Never heard a more true statement from John about tires. Spent multiple hours trying to change racing go kart tires with super thick sidewalls and was not the most fun thing ever.
Love your work and videos! Now, a larger tire adds more rotational mass, which means the initial launch is harder to get moving but helps with the top end. That's why they invented wrinkle walls. Small diameter to launch, but expands for top speed. In your case, I would stick with a smaller tire and just work with the gearing to get that bottom number quicker. Just a trial and error thing and what you desire. Getting off the line is only the first part but also one of the most important. Maybe find a tire in the middle of what you have and work with the gearing
when u was talking about building a garage, i specifically told u guys to go bigger. lol i built a 40x80. within 5 years i wish i went bigger. keep living the dream and bring us good content to watch. joking aside, i apricate u guy for taking the time making these videos for us.
@2:20 I use to always just run over kart, lawn mower, atv, & utv tires with my truck tire..usually popped the beads loose pretty easy lol. The harbor freight tire machines are ehh decent anyway. 🤣
Hey boys, your absolute legend's. Been so cool to go on this journey with you and see how much has changed over the years. It's funny to go back and watch 9 reasons again... Hope ya doing well Charles and the lil one is finally leting ya get sleep. I think a twin V-twin engine drag trike would be pretty cool to see. Stay well guys, keep up the awesome builds...... 🇦🇺🙃👎 Ad from Oz downUnder
Just want to say I love these videos and I’ve always wanted to know what some of these projects would do on the strip and it’s all around awesome thank you for the content!
I have a suggestion that will help you guys save time and frustration in the long run. Take some angle iron and pipe, and make a bead breaker. Then take about 3 feet of 1/4" x 1" steel bar, grind and polish it down into some real tire irons. It should only take a day, and you may get a video out of it.
I will tell you how I change small tires on lawnmowers etc. Let the air out obviously, then to break the bead I like to take a sturdy pry bar/crowbar put it as close to the rim and bead as possible preferably between the rim and bead if possible. Then drive a truck onto the bar. Sometimes it can take a couple times depending on how long the tire has been on the rim but it will break the bead seal. Then I basically do what Ike was doing with the screwdriver but I have a couple pry bars meant for changing tires. I like to put a bar in the axle hole to push the bars against. Also most importantly use plenty of soapy water or tire changing lube, it makes the process a lot easier.
Had a similar "fuel starvation" issue with a 212 predator motor after bypassing the governor, go down the road wide open and it cut out like it was out of fuel. I found when i cracked the lid on the fuel tank i didnt have that issue anymore, it would catch back up and run fine again. Torque converters on all 3 of those motors would be badass
I'm sure somebody already mentioned it but you can break beads pretty easy with a farm jack and a truck bumper. I've done it a bunch of times over the years.
Hint , Don't get in the water for burn out with a treaded tire . Water stays up in tread and drops to the track at starting line causing you to spin . Just an OLD drag racers advice . Love your video's , keep up the great work .
Perhaps some springs with a higher rpm engagement for the clutches would help you get off the line harder and faster. Great build guys. Looking forward to more of this bike.
So many combinations of possibilities to try and get that sucker to go faster quicker. So much more interesting than another video of a supra destroying the strip, can't wait to see.
If you have a single feed from the tank, that might be starving the other engines too. It could be affecting the volumetric efficiency which would exceed the demands of the 3 engines.
Just make a small tire bead breaker get some medium style tire irons for motorcycles! The bead breaker has saved me lots of time n’ less headaches! 👍✌️You all would be fun hangin out with ridin n’ building some badass rides!!! 👍✌️
There is a technique I used on my motorcycle tires using a c-clamp to break the bead loose. Still takes longer and more headache than taking them to a shop equipped with proper equipment, but does make it a lot easier than the technique that Ike used.
I'm glad to see you're doing another door on the back side. I mentioned in your first shop build video you may want to consider it since anything you put in that back corner or on the 4 post lift would be trapped. Looking good!
i've got a 41 chain on my 5hp briggs minicycle conversion. running all of that power through a 35 chain is crazy. it gonna break, it's only a question of when.
Three torque kits and taller gears next👍 Also just something I’ve done for years is when have carb issues I’ve added low grade race fuel to the gas not a lot but about half a cup per gallon and I’ve never burnt a valve and sometimes it helps if it’s just a little trash or weak gas Which I have bought weak gas straight from the pump before to find out later But anyway great episode thxs for what you guys do👍
Wondering if you've ever messed with Gopro telemetry overlays? Would be kinda sweet having a real time speedometer reading on video. You guys keep getting better and better, thank you!
You need to somehow run all 3 engines clutches to a single jackshaft. They can all be built, blueprinted, and synced, but you're still running 3 different power outputs against each other. You don't want 3 transmissions trying to run the same differential. You have to put all 3 independent power sources into into one intermediary "handler" before you try to send the power to the wheel. Look into one-way bearings. You would need to have each engine mated to its clutch with a one way bearing, then to a jackshaft, then final drive sprocket. Essentially, you'd need 3 short chains from 3 engines, tying into a really goofy looking jackshaft with 3 individual input sprockets and one output sprocket going to the wheel sprocket. The one way bearings mating each clutch to each engine would allow the engines to fluctuate and hit power as they're ready without dragging each other down.
I did this, but jetted the carb at the same time. No starvation probs, but no drag strip either. Love you guys. I have been watching Red Beard then you for a few tears now. Where can I bring my mini? I want to play. I’m in Va.
Dude, John. You lot have a c'n'c plasma table. It would be no trouble at all to cut a ring of thick plate steel to fit around the rim of any wheel. If you weld a lever and a hinge to it or perhaps a bolt together solution, you could make a tool to debead tires. Think of it like a nut cracker but for tires. I've appreciate a mention if you decide to use the idea. Cheers mates.
Guys I love all the track videos I hope you keep doing them and maybe do some more test and tune on the mini bike to get better times anyway thanks for the videos keep up the great work
Issac ... Got an Idea for You three. • 3 Bicycles. One for each of you guys. • Strap Stock 2-Stroke Engines to the bikes. • Race your own bikes around the Track. See who wins. Now after that, make mods to the engines. You guys can easily make 6+ video of this. 3 video each building your stock engine bicycles at least. 2-3 videos dialing in your stock performance before racing on the c&c track. 1-3 actually racing alone and all three bikes at once. Then the mid vids... Countless videos as you upgrade 49cc to 79cc to 100+cc 2stroke engines. Air filters, carbs, fuel tanks, handle bars, rims/wheels, tires, etc... Then eventually 2stroke Bicycles vs 4stroke bicycles... Etc...
Love it. You could run 3 hot 212s with 3 torque converters fairly easily, use one looooong 420 or 428 chain with some cleverly placed idler sprockets to get the wrap you need on the driven sprockets. Kind of like what you did on the reverse engine fat tyre bike. Hell, you could probably mount the idlers to the TAV backing plates. Then that thing would really haul.
Instead of taking $20 to a tire shop, take $50 (or whatever they're going for now) to Horrible Fright and buy yourself a manual tire changer..as many wheel/tire swaps as you guys do, I can't believe you haven't already got one. Just mount it on a pallet, no need to drill holes in your pretty new floor..
I usually lay a peace of 2by4 on the tire.. close to the rim & walk up it ya know.. works for real stubborn stuck beads.. THEN if i get one & im not heavy enough to walk the board I'll drive on it.. works every time👍🏾👍🏾😲😲
For like 60 to 80 bucks harbor freight sells a small tire changer that is super easy to use. I love having it around. Thinking about buying the big one too.
Just got my 81 Honda CB750 Custom Back with only 27,500 on it. Had a Full Service and Valve Adjust ( maxed out ). Chain is maxed out. Still leaks exhaust a bit at the head. Just put new mirrors on it. Had one just like it when I was 16, 6ft 4in, 250lbs... Fit just fine on it and was able to get on and off no problem... 48 now and still 6ft 4in but 300lbs now ( still physically look the same) and having a bitch of a time getting on/of, specially on. Not as flexible as I use to be... I tried selling it for a month or so but kept getting Low Ballers... This is in Cherry/Mint condition beside the few Minor things I already said... Decided to keep it, because of Gas Prices and Truck acts up ever now and then... Previous owner of the CB is a Dirt Biker and more than Likely treated/road the CB like one... and didn't service it regularly.
You'll burn the valves without the governor. Ask me how I know... from childhood. I got a valve lapping kit and was grinding the burns out of the valves at the start of every weekend. It was worth it! :)
The chain guard could keep fingers away from the "pinch point" where the bottom of the rear sprocket and chain meet. Stuff gets sucked in there. I'd weld on a bit to the chainguard to keep stray body parts away.
It seems reasonable that an airbox designed to operate @ 3500 rpm's is likely to be more restrictive when the engine is spinning 5500 rpms, which is where the ..slide carbs and stacks from Go Power Sports comes in..
Turning into one of those channels where you can automatically skip to the very middle of the video because that’s generally where the main advertised content actually starts. 😂
You ought to try a variable speed clutch system from a snowmobile, junkyard stuff is cheap, simply change the clutch springs to some much weaker since the engine at full speed is just above idle for a snowmobile engine. You will get about a 2.5:1 to a 0.75 output ratio, takes some thought to work out but it works like stink. We did it on a junked quad Yamaha, and it was interesting at the least. We used a HF 212 which we make some of our special modifications, larger carb and a custom exhaust. Variable speed clutch was one for a air cooled engine so it was a bolt on and tweak the springs. What you got the Snowmobile clutch would handle the power.
Easiest way to break down a small tire like that is put a 6' 2x6 on the tire right up to the bead then drive up the 2x6 with a car or truck. Works everytime
Love to see and hear how the three exhausts run into one straight pipe!
and with a big funnel exhaust lol
yes please do this

Lots of room for improvement, but it was still a great first test!
Such as boost ??
A steering stabilizer , might be a good thing
Hey guys I’m having a problem with my predator 212 as soon as I start it it’s want to just take off
Just a heads up....there is some video/audio issues around 8:45+ and 11:30. Like the video repeats, and the audio doesnt.
pls bring back the 40mph lawn mower
You can really gear that thing high with all that torque! Get'em on the top end! What would happen if you ran 2 clutches and the rear motor and a torque converter?
You’d probably stretch the chain up front
Would be interesting to see 3 completely built engines driving a series 40 torque converter and also a chained version for speed comparisons.
the torque converter would have to go on the front but that will work and be cool
@@williammckinney4971 the torque converter would have to go on the rear. You are modifying the output speed with the cvt, and the goal is to keep the engines spinning at the same speed while changing the output to the drive chain
@@kickboxs77 how would the chains from the other motors get to it and then the chain go from the torque converter to the rear tire
I see 3 stage 2 kits and 3 turbos and pushing it into the High 8’s. 🤟🏻🇺🇸

Yep.
It's about time you guys got a tire machine, it's like $50 at harbor freight so for a bit more in sure you could get something mint
Love the mini bike content! You guys got me into mini bikes!

That pickem up truck is looking good. I remember when it was just a the cab you were doing body work on. It’s come a long way
What a week for you guys. Incredible vids.
you should link the engines by one chain timing the firing order 120 degrees apart like a inline 3 cylinder and see if it improves the power
I have a suggestion that will help you guys save time and frustration in the long run. Take some angle iron and pipe, and make a bead breaker. Then take about 3 feet of 1/4" x 1" steel bar, grind and polish it down into some real tire irons. It should only take a day, and you may get a video out of it.
I used to break beads on car tires using a old bumper jack and let the weight of the car break the bead.
I'm really enjoying the field trip content recently. It's nice to see some of these machines get to stretch bout their legs.

Love this channel, you making so much good content with all the cool bikes and carts you've created from scratch.
The juxtaposition of that dragster rolling by and then John handing Ike three zip ties for some major power mods is just, the best.
Starting to love this bike. Lol still having heard no one mention the new 212 ghost.
I'm sure somebody already mentioned it but you can break beads pretty easy with a farm jack and a truck bumper. I've done it a bunch of times over the years.

Not running out of fuel. The stack carb is jetted to run roughly 3600 rpm and is lean at 5500 with bypassed governors.

Im with you Jon with the tire.
The chain guard could keep fingers away from the "pinch point" where the bottom of the rear sprocket and chain meet. Stuff gets sucked in there. I'd weld on a bit to the chainguard to keep stray body parts away.
You can actually use your lift arms to change tires if you wanted to. My dad and I did that a couple times on some big 22" live axle rims

Easiest way to break down a small tire like that is put a 6' 2x6 on the tire right up to the bead then drive up the 2x6 with a car or truck. Works everytime
Definitely my favourite build
You should try building 1 engine as a torque monster, 1 for high rpm hp and 1 stock so you have the rpm range covered.
Truly an art piece
Awsome episode! looks like yall had fun
