awesome video Brian, this is a GREAT chain tensioner. Highly recommended upgrade. Really has improved reliability of my bike.
always trying to help us all Justin") thanks for watching
Ain't nothing like an OG video.
Thanks bro for the props,")
I have built several of these. So far. I'm working on my 8th one right now. I would recommend putting the aftermarket sprocket on. And the aftermarket chain tensioner. It is always been my two name problems.
Good choice for the added performance and extended life of the machine. The bigger gas tank Isa good investment also it will increase your distance between fill ups and surprisingly increase the fuel mileage")
i was stranded tried a nickle n needle noses lol I was close thank u I orderded a spring tensioner will that stop my slack problem
You think the higher compression piston will work in the 2 stroke motor pretty good?
+bicycless211 That depends on various factors that include whether you have installed better cylinder bolts and nuts that are torqued? Have a better head gasket than the stock piece of something and the porting on the cylinder head is capable of passing the increased amount of spent gas out through the pipe. Otherwise just changing the piston and the ring will in the short term give you a small thrill but over time unless you add the expansion pipe and copper head gasket the gains you made will put more wear on the stock motor and then failure will be sooner than later.
The masterlink keeps coming loose on my 415 chain and I put it together right with the lock clip going in the right direction too.
+bicycless211 are you getting it seated all the way down into the groove on the pins? If so then use your pliers and squeeze the open end of the clip a little bit and try again.
Does yours have a wobble at the joint of the where the two main parts connect on the tensioner?
try using a lock washer on the inside between the plate and the tensioner is this where you are missing a spacer?
Thanks for the upload Brian, but where can I get the rear axle adapter instead of the rubber and three pieced one? Great videos by the way, much appreciated !
MMbikeparts.com make sure you have the right size for your hub when you order. thanks for watching
my tensioner slid up n down yesterday n I was wondering what tools I need tighten one side the other side spins my flat head could fit groove please help
ty adams then use a penny on the slot screw hold it with the vice grips use the wrench on the nut
Thanks Brian great video very informative.
Hey brian noel! Great video i have a motorized bike my chain is very loes and always falls of. No tensiom what so every what should i do and how do i do itt
ebay as a chain tentsioner that works bro Michaiganmotorbikes on ebay che ck it out
Hi I subscribed to your channel and seen your bike work I've had one stolen from me here in casa grande I'm stuck with out my bike I've tried to find a beach bike on Craigslist but people over price them any idea on how to keep it from getting stolen when I get a new one
I use onguard u bolt lock 2 reasons 1 bad guys need 6 ft bolt cutters or gas torch cut it
2 if they do and you filed the paperwork that comes with it your bike just got upgraded to any one u want up to $1500. Walmart in casa grande sells them
what is smaller sprocket on the back wheel you lose torque butt you gain speed
yes Toby but if you go to small on the back wheel then you won't get going very well at all because the little engine will only be able to pull at high revs and that is not good!!! stay between 36 and 40 teeth on the rear wheel if you want speed and still have enough torque to pull the bike from take off")thanks for commenting
@@Brian136 thanks
Hey Brian what kind of bike do to have? Where'd you get the tensioner and hub adapter for it?
+Moto 99 Michigan motorbikes on eBay for the chain tensioner and MMBIKEPARTS.Com hub adaptor
Thanks man appreciate it
Thanks for sharing and best to you.
I've been contemplating this. You might consider extending the pedal chain. There needs to be a balance.
They seldom mention this. The back tires need to be was far back as possible. As chains stretch I gives wiggle room. Too often they suggest the opposite. Remove a link as it stretches.
Thanks for uploading
What about your chain tensioner rubbing on your tire
nice you got the harbor freight seat i got it too
Rolling tool bench TT a it's a cool thing*)
Thanks for the video on this product, I'm really thinkin about getting one. The stock tensioner just adds a level of nervousness for me when I ride. One thing i wanted to share was about a rear hub sprocket adapter that I got that is similar to yours but with one advantage. The one I got off Ebay from GasBike.net has recessed screws that mount the sprocket to the adapter. This was really helpful in the fact that I did not have to bend my brake arm at all due to clearance issues caused by the protruding mounting screws. So this could be one thing to look for when buying a rear hub sprocket adapter. Thanks again for the video.
+RimShot Recluse this was the option with the mmbikeparts adapter. A set of reset screws that I didn't notice until I had already ordered the gear"( but things worked out and I am very happy with the performance of these parts. I recommend installing a hub adapter it will give way better performance over the stock chinese set up and is way less dangerous over all") thanks for watching RimShot Check out this video I made a few months ago... ua-cam.com/video/5LFlLm0K29o/v-deo.html
The smaller sprocket actually lowers bottom end tourqe and raises top end speed but a big sprocket would add more low end tourqe and lower top end speed
ua-cam.com/video/s8-L_8znucs/v-deo.html
This should explain how gearing works bro") thanks for watching
@@Brian136 you sound stupid. A larger rear sprocket increases torque and lowers top speed. A smaller sprocket is the opposite. Speed and acceleration are different. Trying to make someone else sound stupid makes it even worse.
@@dustinh4175 really!? I got it backwards but yet everyone who made a comment but u says I got it right"/ I love being stupid thanks for watching
YES SIR, A MUST HAVE
Thank goodness for this video.. I probably got it if wasn't for it
Exploring With Jared maybe not because it’s not it if you don’t get it first”)
will the chain ever slip off the chain tensioner wheel
+Nicolette Whitlow hopefully not") but the wheel is about 4-5mm wider than the chain on both sides and has some ridges that keep the chain centred on the wheel. In my experience so far the chain has stayed on at both low and high speeds without any problems. Thanks for the visit Nicolette")
Thanks for the info and the link for the part Im definitely going to buy that chain tensioner
Nicolette Whitlow
It's well worth the money I really like the performance of this part and will be adding it to all the builds I do in the future.
They left the little silver ball spacer out on my kit and they won't answer the phone at kings motor bikes. Awful service
+bicycless211 ya there is a place here over in Tempe Iron Horse bikes that does stuff like that. Seems to me that if you look like you know what you are doing then they just want your money otherwise charging $1000 to install the motor kit is about right in their eyes. Yes sucky business practices seem to be the norm when it comes to bike shops that sell the motor kits!!!!
Hey Brian, do the cops bother you riding these around michigan?
I live in Arizona so I couldn't tell you call the cops in michigan?
You should route your ignition wires away from resting on the exhaust pipe. Keep it as far away from the motor as possible!
Yea those wires are gonna fry.
Did you guys see the video I made about how to make a wireloom? Check it out I think the guy shows how to route the loom away from the hot exhaust pipe...
Nice vid by the way
Great video
4:42 is the beat advice ever🤘🤘
Wow, that easy. Guess the Amazon reviewers don't know what a wrench is. Also heard that you need to find a stiffer spring for it.... I just got a new stock tensioner for $15 cuz I'm frugal.
Dude I bought several of these and I have yet to have any problem.
I'm with you bro, I prefer the stock 4 bolt 🔩 tentioner
I use the stock tensioner with the spring tensioner.
I JUST ORDERED MINE FROM YOU..... :0)
what's the different from the one that comes with the kit? btw nice vid
+Gamer Boy the difference is many fold watch my video on rear wheel wobble and you will see the biggest difference. The hub adapter drives the hub the rag joint set up drives the spokes leading to wobble that will in the end destroy your wheel and almost getting you hurt.
+brian noel oh OK I may need to do the same thing idk thank you!
+Gamer Boy it was around $35 check the link on the Michigan motor bikes video I made")
+brian noel yeah I saw! but it say may not work on mountain bike😢
+Gamer Boy will work on any style bike that has at least a 1.250 diameter hub just measure your hub and see. use a price of string then a ruler the measure you are looking for is 1 1/4 inches if you are there or just a little bigger then it will fit
Did this work
Yes
On the sprocket bolt id use a unlock nut.
My chain has broken twice and currently is still broken, the drive chain, I've come to the conclusion the chain tensioner isn't true with the frame, would this solve my problem??, I don't have a hub a adapter either
Eric Brogdon yes the stock tensioner is never in line get the hub adapter solves the problem bro")
That sprocket adapter will slip after awhile, You need a Dremel and shave a bit off of the sprocket hub and wheel hub and insert a key way so that the Sprocket adapter won’t move.
Maintenance is the secret to sustaining the life of any moving parts besides dude most guys don't have a full sgipi in the kitchen. Keep it in context so others can use your experience and learn ")
for those who are unaware buy a #41 chain don't use the 415 junk the 415 is really hard on the drive train due to the rollers on the chain being too narrow and the chain WILL bind up in the case and cause alot of damage....thought the tensioner caused issues?.....speaking of wich replace both the chain AND the tensioner for your life and safety sake...real talk
these are true words here! the weakest part in the whole thing are the chain and the stock tensioner set up using the rag joint. seriously consider upgrading to the better chain tensioner and the hub adapter using the #41 motorcycle chain the kid is right")
+brian noel thanks :), I will take your advice and get rid of the rag joint and install the hub adapter
bike will run better and be way more dependable in the long run")
The tensioner NEVER goes on top portion of the chain since that part is under load when driving and slack is taken up. Tensioner ALWAYS goes UNDER the bottom part of chain!
I need help with my bike plz
ok
For some reason my bike is so hard to I adjusted the motor and I still have problems
@@justingrabowski1984 sounds like problems bro
@@Brian136 yes it is I use it up like to get work
@@justingrabowski1984 new motor time")
WONDERING IF THIS WOULD WORK FAT TIRE BIKE MOTORIZED . . .
Prometheus Titan yes I have seen a couple so far it looks great"?
I'LL TRY IT . I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A MONGOOSE DOLAMITE FAT TIRE NOW . THANKS FOR THE HELP . . . DOUG IN PORT ST. LUCIE
Nice mod on the sprocket but it's gonna give you higher speed, not torque. I think you got your left-rights backward..
Well since I left handed I guess it's the right way around") thanks for watching
Put it on my pedals don't clear the bolts it came with
I am confused could u give a little bit more information"/
I need a wider crank or something. my pedals are literally a 16th from the sprocket casing without adding anything
@@jjmintona single piece crank or is it a bottom bracket style?
Does the crank throw hit the screw heads or the mounting plate?
Make.sure the engine is centered in the frame. Line up spark plug with the front down tube.
@@Brian136 hits the screw heads
You can get chinese ones that work great for £8 on the net
Oh it bolts on over the top... I'm a dumbass... 😂
as long as you remember this day and carry forward the simple lesson you my young jedi friend will be strong in the force")
Bro I had the same problem I thought it was way more complicated lol thanks Brian Noel for showing me I’m a dum ass lol
could not fit n the groove
ty adams clip should fit into the groove if not then use the bench grinder and a pair of vice grips touch the clip to the grinder wheel maybe count to 2 try agIn
You will have less bottom end torque but a faster top speed.
That's what I thought 🤔🤔 I heard him say too... The funny thing is, people are actually asking for advice from this dude..smh
You guys are funny but not very smart. The point of the video was more top end speed.
The point of the machine is to power your bicycle. It had its own propulsion system but the idea of putting an engine on your bicycle is to assist the main drive system to achieve a better cruzing speed than 3-5mph average.
I guess my intelligence level isn't up there in the ozone like you guys since you know more than me...
Thanks for watching ")
Make more videos brooo
