Hope yall enjoy! Bonus video this week. This was so fun, definitely settling for round 2!! I forgot to mention this was street gearing. I still like to ride it on the street
Hell yea that thing rips can wait to see what it dose next time
Id get a seat that curves up behind you and cradles you if you plan to keep drag racing it. Maybe find a way to move the food controls further back so you can get into a leaned forward position for aerodynamics. Also the water is for getting your tire wet for a burnout. You get it wet, then pull forward out of it for the burnout so it actually burns and gets sticky. A burnout in the water wont do must and your tire will still be wet causing slippage on takeoff. Good luck in your future races
You did great! Awesome to see your own creation holding its own against a Harley!
nice cutting of footage but add a bit more detaiil should be great , otherwise if anyonen needs more i would suggest they get out ther and try it on their own
Don't let the jr dragster fool you, thats a $4,000 + all billet alcohol engine based on a Briggs Stratton flat head. They also run an all billet polar clutch variable transmission (torque converter) .halfscale.com/product/nic-woods-8-90-top-shelf-engine/
Tips from a seasoned drag racers.
Your doing your burnout in the water, spin the tire a bit in the water pull forward out of the water and do the burn out.
You have a wheelie bar use it, rev it up and aggressively let the clutch out, increase rpms till the tire doesn't hold the power.
When you're looking down the drag strip you can see where everyone's wheels are, plant the bike in either tire path, thats where the traction is. There's no added traction in the center of a drag strip.
Badass bike it definitely had potential. I personally think your gearing is to high. Give it more gear for a faster top speed. P.s harleys aren't slow mines 7.5s in the 1/8 and 11.67 in 1/4 mile.
and drive around the water and back it in
Also tune your wheelie bar so it is closer to the ground. This will put more power to the ground and less power pulling the front wheel up. Good luck.
Or if you have street tires just drive around the water, try to spin them really quick and then run. The tread captures the water, sends it on the fender and then it rains back down during your run.
Dude you put your creation back on the trailer still running. That speaks volumes for your skill and craftsmanship! This is a huge win!!
Goes ok .lean it out raise the needle in carb .reduce the gearing and use 2nd gear and ride the clutch
👆👆👆 exactly!!!!
It takes practice you'll get the hang of It. I thought I was king of the streets on my ZX14 Then I hit a test and tune night at the local 1/8 Mile. I was getting smoked by 600s But I never gave up I run a Gen 2 V-Max now. 9.7 In the 1/4 at nearly 60 years old the need for speed will go with me to my grave. Keep at it kid. You got plenty of talent . I see you doing great things.
jimmyjackass Don’t see many gen 2s.
Yes, junior dragsters run in the high 7’s at my track. You did pretty well for your first attempt. When you do a burn out get the wheel spinning and let it come out of the water. The way you did your burn out you pulled water with you out of the box and your slick was still wet.
Robert Wood was gonna say the same thing
You got that rait
If you dont get off the water, you are not heating the tire, you are kooling it, "coldburnout 😂
More power.!!.lol..get those rev's up at the staging bro, an drop that clutch man..let those wheelie bars do their thing..friggin awesome job man!
Air shifter an ride the bar
Way more rpm’s man! Let it scream! I’m shure your way faster
Yeah he should be launching at least 10000 rpm. Probably more.
He's shifting halfway into the powerband. He's got easy another 3,000rpm before a shift is needed.
Randall Zrubek my 2-stroke quadbike did 16000 rpm. Made 16hp from a 70cc cilinder. Imagine that to this engine
@@mostlymotorized oh it definitely does, I have a blaster and it screams
Agree, sounds like you are upshifting way to early.
That motor is in no way at max potential, ask for some help from someone who knows well 2stroke engines because it's a completely different knowledge. Just by ear you can tell it's losing power at higher rpms. Get that engine sorted and you will easily smoke those other bikes. Great job, keep it going.
Its getting too lean at mid to high rpm .
Carberater way to small
Its just the gearing
Bad carb settings. You mast to adjust the carb. Oweral thumbs up
Blaster engines do not reach revs as high as a stock 2 stroke 250 dirtbikes. It was a budget-friendly engine, yes it's powerful but if you think you're going to get in the RPM range of a Yz 250 you're smoking the wrong 2 stroke oil and playing too much GTA. Carb is fine unless it's been ported even then that's questionable. If it's running lean the carb is obviously big enough to give enough air to the engine which jetting is your only option to richen it out and won't always = to higher revs. A different gearset in the tranny is the next option. He also says he has street gearing on the bike if comprehensive reading is your thing, lol.
Imagine a CR500 drag minibike
You can't properly ride a regular CR500 with regular knobbies, now imagine it 3' shorter and 150# lighter... Oh the horror.
t4thfavor1212 stretch it 8 inches or so throw a slightly bigger rear tire with the right gearing it would rip!!!!
Yes they're awesome, I'm following a serious lightweight dune buggy build with one 🤗
imagine a 700 2 stroke
SE Creator probably a little harder to find
great job young man... keep it up...practice makes perfect and you are doing things that other kids only dream about... keep the wind in your face and send it!
Awesome vid! Your definitely shifting too early,, just calm down and make sure you shift cleanly at the right time and you’ll go so much faster just from being smooth. Also think your righ about your gearing. Also sounds like your tune is off...when you do the burnout it sounds rough maybe rich? hope this helps
Maybe do some ‘plug chops’ on video so we can help with the tune...... personally I thought it sounded rich on the burnout as it was ‘burbbley’ But seen comments saying they think it’s lean..... show us the spark plug please? 🤙🏻💨
Definitely shifting too early
Awesome video! Glad you had fun! You and your homeaid bike did great! Couple tips: Roll through the water box and then do your burn out, study drag races on UA-cam, start to leave right before the light turns green not when you see it turn green because there is like a 12" distance rollout before the clock starts. As it was your "reaction time" is almost a full second (as printed on your time slip) you could have possibly beaten the Harley if you had a quicker reaction time. I'm not hating but offering advice cause I wanna see you beat the drunk guy on the Harley 🤣
You've come along way in less than a year...and havin fun the whole way...keep goin......faster n faster!✌
"It's an 88"
"88cc?!?!"
"88ci"
Lmmfao!!!!👍🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
1442.062 cc. 1ci = 16.387cc
Harley lists an 88 as 1450ccs. My Deuce is an 88.
@@matthewbanks9183 it's too late to math. Lol!
Harley still uses cubic inches, not metric... Only the XLH Sportsters refer to there motor size as cc
@@pyroteckustomcycles6667 I was aware they still use freedom units, but was unaware that they used metric for the XLH Sportster line. Thanks for the info.
Racing ain’t easy. It takes a lot of practice. Seems like you need to stop short shifting and tune the carb for higher rpm power. Lose the muffler too.
Matt Fields I feel these 2 strokes like having the muffler as added back pressure but I could be wrong
Or grow a pair of balls and get some skill/muscle and race mx or enduro
LØx Shansway correct, u need back pressure for a two stroke to run right, but its mainly in the Stinger/the last part of the expansion chamber before the muffler, that is the main thing that applies back pressure in the twostroke, if u look at other drag two stroke quads or any two stroke drag machine they rarely run a muffler and rather calculate it so the stinger is enough
2 strokes need their exhaust.... Otherwise yes, and it takes a lot of work to get consistent at drag racing
The expantion chamber is calculated to return exhaust pulse back to the motor. tuning the chamber to the higher rpm would work.
Without the expantion chamber the bike would run like shit.
the video was perfect!!! but please keep in mind with 2 strokes, always keep a box of spark plugs with you, a new plug before every race day
Maybe every other pass. There not to hard to replace. Big time racecars take apart there hole engine after every race to put a new plug would be easy
That was a lot of fun watching this. Thanks for the upload.
Nice job !!! Try to rev it a bit higher especially on high gears you’ll see the results!!
It took a while to feel the groove of that frame. Now, the more I look at it the more I like it. Very nice.
I've rode dirt bikes, quads, and 3whlrs all my life . Also raced pro mx in late 80s . 1 piece of advice when you start you should have throttle wide open and your rear wheel should spin . Master the start and dramatically improve your time .
Good luck and great video
Very courageous of you my friend, I would definitely drop down the gears and a little port matching a bit. Be sure you’re able to have good take off and good high speed it won’t be easy but it can happen, stay well and ride safe.
Awesome upload dude! Don’t sweat these pass times, every race build needs many engineering shake down laps. You definitely need a gas cap vent hose to keep the fuel from splashing you. Keep doing what you do!
Anyone else have a strong feeling of pride for our Man Vasily? Peace.
That thing is awesome, I really hope you make it better and get a 9.5 or maybe even 9 seconds on the drag strip!
Drop the gearing down a bit but more importantly rev it out more it think you're shifting 65% - 70% into the power band.
The look on those little kids faces "Priceless" The awe and curiosity of the big kids koool 😎
Dude all that matters is that you have fun and are hungry to grow and learn. You’ve got all the right stuff. Keep on doing what you’re doing!🙌🏻
One trick you can use, especially since your bike has a small diameter front wheel. When you're staging and have both white lights lit, back up until one white light goes out, then pull forward, just enough to make that light come back on. This gives you a little bit of room to move forward before you break the laser beam. You can now release the clutch, just before the green lights light up without "red lighting". Only use the tip of one finger to hold the clutch lever (the other fingers wrapped around the handle bar) and slide your fingertip off, letting the clutch lever spring outward on it's own, just a fraction of a second before the green lights light. Takes practice, but will give you an edge and show better reaction times. Good luck wild man!
Great job for Your first time! I'll offer You some advice:
1 stay calm. If You get frustrated or beat Yourself up, YOU aren't gonna ride to the best of Your ability.
2 Unless You have bad wheelspin without a burnout, I would skip the burnout completely.
You were pulling the wheel on the un prepped street in front of You house, and I'm assuming You didn't do a burnout. If it'll hook like that on the street, it'll dead hook on a prepped track.. But,
IF, You do spin with no burnout, ride AROUND the burnout box and just back Your rear tire in enough to get it wet, then walk the bike out, do a burnout. In the vid You're carrying water out of the box and that is a guaranteed way to be inconsistent.
3 practice practice practice. Work on leaving as consistently as You can.
4 Take notes. The mere fact You're videoing gives You valuable data You can go back and review and build upon. Learn from Your mistakes.
5 Finally, if You decide to make changes, make them one at a time..
It seemed like You were running out of fuel up top, a common thought would be to richen it up. You could raise the needle, or go up a main jet, but NEVER make both at the same time.. Otherwise, You won't learn what made the difference, and You'll be chasing Your tail before You know it.
Vas what a great video and fantastic job on this build!!! You did really well especially first time on the track- look forward to your rematch! Keep it up, your skills just get better and better!!!
You built the mini bike I dreamed of as a kid. Well done !
Drag racing is tricky. Stay out of the water you don't need it, practice starts, you're loosing a lot of time there, your 9.6 run was your cleanest, it was clear in the video. Good job keep it up!
I'm not sure how anyone can talk trash about this. You just pulled a 9.6s pass on a freaking. Mini bike! Awesome job.
Glad to see you out there. You can't get better if your not out there doing it. A 9.6 is respectable. Good job!
young man that was awesome one heck of a job love the build and loved the trip down the track
Great job dude! You are on the right track!! Learn it as you go,and lesson to elders, and you will go far!!! Good luck young man!!!!👍
Glad to see you out ripping.Nice to see you make some new friends,and Bryce was pretty kewl to help vid.too.Awesome first evening out.You'll get your tune,and drop the time quick.We believe in you!
Great video and great job on your first time out. Bike didn't sound like it was hitting the high rpms that 2 strokes love...
Loved it! Work on those reaction times and I think you will be more than surprised. Video made me smile. Love to see a young guy with this much enthusiasm!!
Don't worry about the trash talking, you got this men!! It looks so awesome and properly built.
Correct me if I'm wrong but on the first passes, the bike was acting like the tire are out of balance.
Men this is really cool, thank you for share this good content.
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t 2 stokes get most of their power when the rev out?
yessir powerband
Actually it really how they are built and tuned. The real truth is two strokes make power on every stroke, and with say an built 80 cc engine turning 15,000+ rpm they work really hard at it. Power is very convoluted in two strokes, compression, squish band, pipe tune, silencer, advance, even the fuel, and lube. Honestly if you want to brutally fast bike look at the old 750 triples, stock with a rider they were running sub 10 1/4 mile, do some building run alcohol possibly nitro and seven second passes happened. That’s fast in any world.
YOU'LL feel when the bike needs to change up
This is now my favorite channel. Cannot wait until more uploads on that new go-kart.
HELLYEAH bro that's what it's all about u Redeem yourself in the end and started to get the feel for her which is so sweet I think u would gave old boy on the Harley a run for his $$$ u got caught up it happen to the best of us bro but hell yeah finally Reaping the fruits of ur labor....🤘
Hey vasily, you should look into two stroke tuning, you have the skill all you need is the knowledge, your amazing at fabricating and i made my own custom exhaust without ever touching a welder or anything before that. You could make ur own tailored made exhaust for high rpm top end power, since that is where your gonna be at with the bike while drag racing, maybe also get a book called: Two stroke performance tuning by Graham Bell, some info in the book is outdated by now but its still a good read to get into the whole world of twostrokes and all the knowledge would allow you to make your mini bike perfect for the drag strip
I like how cool everyones attitudes are with you.
You could go higher octane gas with less oil in the premix to lean it out for speed
For you to keep up with some of the vehicles is impressive. I can't wait till you come back and smash that 8 sec
great, key point. dont worry bout the green light. time doesn't start till you break the beams, not when the light turns green. Race yourself for your time, not your opponent. Let the green happen, take a moment and make sure your launch is perfect. Time doesn't begin till you roll out.
That's a great point!
Dude that thing is awsome! But like anything......practice...practice...practice. Can't wait to see it on the track again!
Well done. Racing isn't like riding. If anyone thinks it's an easy thing to launch and hold it straight while switching gears hasn't done it. Take it from me, I've raced a lot of different types of machines and I can tell you this takes practice skill and guts.
That was awesome...I've logged several 100s of off road miles on a stroked/ported/fully modded Blaster, and that sound brought me right back. Hope to see you dip into the 8s!!@
Just wanted to add a little advice since I drag race a motorcycle When you line up in a burn out box Go around the water box back up into the water with just the rear tire get the tire a little bit wet poor forward into a dry spot then do the burn out so that your tire actually starts to smoke a little bit and then you can roll forward to a lineup at the tree awesome video keep up the great work with your mini drag bike glad to see someone having fun
Awesome video.. keep trying.. awesome build.. glad you recovered from your cart accident and gained your strength back
you did very well. you're learning just like everyone else. no problem.
Good for you Vasily!! So impressed with what you have done with that thing!!
Thanks again Cody!!!
Great Video, and you could see the folks at the drag strip appreciated something different. Hopefully a gearing change gets some quicker launches. Might also be worth dropping the rear tyre a few psi to improve grip if that's a problem
Pull all the way through the water box and do your burnout so afterward you don’t roll forward and get the slick wet again. Great job overall and an amazing thing to build your own 9 second drag bike. Not many people have done that.
The key is to just go and study the tree lights to get used to the reaction. The most important is to relax and have fun and stop putting so much pressure on yourself.
This
Old timer, been to at least 30 National events. You’re rig is as badass as it gets and I loved the video. Can’t wait to see some more runs. Bravo brother, bravo!!
Thank you!
Clutchless shifts might get you a tenth or two. 😊
dude!!!!! for your first runs out, that joint is badass! happy and proud for you
You're crushin it man! i love your enthusiasm and drive. Absolutely rocking it keep going dude 👍
Really cool to see you putting that build to work. Up your skills get the feel for it. You will get it. Hope you stick to it!
I think you did Damn good bro! Just be safe 👍
Great video, but when you do the water don't stop in the water, burn your way out so the tire stays dry...
Good job bud. That's pretty fast especially for a mini bike type frame. Can't wait to see after you get it dialed in. Great videos.
That minibike looks so fun! Off to a good start, just needs some fine tuning like you said. Just a tip on the burnout. Get the tire spinning in the water but roll out (while still spinning) onto dry ground so it drys the tire off.
Work on that bike. Upgrade everything! Lol. That little mini bike is awesome bro! Keep up the hard work and especially keep up that courage. Not many people would attempt taking something like that to the drag strip! You'll meet a lot of cool people and establish connections.
Also REV that engine way high drop that clutch and hold your gears longer between shifts and go get your 8 second pass slip! You amaze me everytime i watch your vids because of how much you know at your age! Amazing!
awesome content!! keep hitting the track and getting to know everyone. makes great content and helps the channel grow!
I really want to see that little bike beat some stuff at the track... can you tune it any more?
As soon as you feel the air resistance, lean down out of the head wind. My 50cc would do 140 ks doing this.
Thinner head gasket, I used to use valve grinding paste to seat the head onto the barrell without a gasket.
Tune the air box, I drilled a line of holes to do this, put some electrical tape over them and at top speed slowly uncover the holes one by one till it peaked out .
Tune the expantion chamber, longer center is low down torque and shorter chamber is for top end torque. Maybe the other way round though, I diddnt check before I wrote this.
Open the ports, not the bottom of the inlet port, do that one by shaving the top edge inlet side of the piston. This way if you go too far you just buy another piston.
Hope this helps, l love 2 strokes.
Everyone got to start somewhere my dude. Hell I remember when I was a little kid we use to watch drag racing on the tv and go race our bicycles and I had a rope with a trash bag tied to the end for a parachute. It was obviously super necessary. 🤣
thats awesome! Something I would have done as a kid
Last gears changing to son lol you dont let the bike hit the power band ... Cool minibike
Can't wait for more videos like this it was one of the best videos
Thank you for the support!!
I say for your first time kid you did dang good I'd like to see more kids like u get into the game of building things and showing them off or basicly just getting off the couch yah feel me.
You did good for first day at the track. Keep it up. You will only get better in time.
Just keep practicing your launches and let that little firecracker rev! I wouldn't mess around with it too much until you're more comfortable at the strip, it's got a lot more in it just like it is. Awesome video, awesome bike and all around awesome channel! Love it 🤘🤘🤘
Longer Vids! great content, just binged the whole bike build... you've earned a new subscriber. Keep up the good work !
Atta boy Son!! You'll get her dialed. Rome wasn't built in a day. The old boy with the mini-dragster was cool. Most of all have fun!
Great video. Go for small increases aid for 9.5 then 9.4 etc talk to the guys at the track they have years of experience in getting the best out of their machines.
Exhaust ,porting,gearing,flywheel, pistons , crank ,carburetor, plugs,jets,wheel size riding position gear changing clutch so much to learn.
Good on ya go for it.
Things sick, cant wait to see whats next for this little beast
That's what it's all about, Having Fun, learning, and making new friends.
👍😎🏁
That’s was awesome to see you ride that bike at the race track. I can’t wait to see how much you will improve after a couple more visits to race that!!! The video was perfect amount of behind the scenes and racing. I think you should have asked that mini dragster guy for tuning tips and trick!!! I was also thinking if your able to get a little taller rear tire would help!!
Thanks, man that was cool. I can't wait to see the next runs.
Great video mate! Need a kill switch on the gear lever for flat out shifts and run a link so the gears change upside down like race bikes do
I have been to the strip a few times back in the 90's with a 10 second 1/4 mile car and young man i was nervous then and would be now. You keep at it and have fun but also safe please.
Fantastic job I love it and that’s coming from a hard-core Harley rider
Great video and perfect length! I for one would love to see a progressive series of videos. Ones where you modify your bike and take it out to the strip, each time trying to better your time until you have reached your potential.
Really impressed with your build, awesome stuff man, cant wait to see the next one!
So im thinking you can mess around with the gearing or tire size a bit and i would recommend keeping your left foot in position right where it needs to be to shift and use your right foot to balance instead.
You did a great job ! I'd say lower the wheelie bar so when it rocks back on the back tire the wheelie bar is at bump stop BEFORE the front tire comes off the ground. That way you can rev it to the moon and dump the clutch. You also want to roll THROUGH the water box and do your burn out an inch ahead on the dry track while the back tire is still wet. That way you aren't flinging water on your machine to drip off down the track at high speeds. Now the pro tips. If you want a little bit faster of a time, back your clutch off just a tiny tiny bit so when you nail it you can drop the clutch and it will slip temporarily with the motor in Red line. You will feel the right amount and you will burn up clutch pads doing this but I bet if you do all these things together, run non ethanol fuel 91 with a cap full of octane booster you should be at 9.0 seconds
One other thing, try out a bump stop for your tailbone on the seat. That way when green hits and you dump you won't have to fight to stay on. Your butt will be against the stop on the seat behind you 👍
Bad Assss bud!!! You did great for you're first time. People don't understand how much there is to learn when you're dealing with 100ths of a second timing. Just work on you're starts. For a first time that thing is really Impressive. Good luck to you. And keep that helmit strap tight. Peace.
Good job man you did good for little experience and kept your nerves in check nicely. Track life is just a big ass family.. just gotta get your launch down leave a lot harder thats what the wheelie bar is for.. leave as hard as you can without smoking the tire.
Very cool!!
I cant wait to see ya smoken the Harleys !!!
Awesome. Youre doing big things out there. Congrats brother. Vids are great just how you make them. Wouldnt change a thing.
This kid does amazing work cars and cameras and red beard garage better watch out for this kid Vasily builds is smoking u guys hands down with his build keep wrenching my brother your putting those other guys that gps sponsors to shame
Once you nail down the take off you'll be killin it. Great build bro .
One of your better vids man. Love the track. Get that thing dialed in and learn your launch technique. Good luck. Keep knocking it out.
Sweet little machine bro! Props for building a little speed machine 😁! Gotta love going up against motorcycles. I hope you manage a seven next time 😉. Best of luck 👍 may it only get better. I love watching the smaller machines haul ass.
Have a most excellent day 😀!
You did just fine if you had fun stayed upright and got reactions from people like you did...no complaints here great video
Your bike is so sickkk!!! Very cool! You will get the hang of it.
Go around the wet box , then back into the water. Pull forward a little. Then do your burn out. Pick a line to that a car tire rides in . Then stage in deep . Now it’s time to let your clutch hand slip to your pull the bike . Keep testing. Great job buddy. The gearing is important too . You have a fast bike . You just need to get some set time .
