DUDE.... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I found you because of Deegans Bike Claim. And I am so into building and wanting to make my own custom parts. Love you stuff and I thank you for sharing some of your knowledge. I just do it for myself but sharing knowledge is the most selfless thing one can do. Thanks a ton and I am hooked and watching every video. You rock bud.
Absolutely love the in depth tech talk and explanation of engine theory and application, I can geek out on this stuff all day long and I learn so much from your videos.
You're a handful of information man. I'm still a high school student that loves to work and tinker on my bikes just as much as I love to race them. I would love to learn how to port a cylinder, I only go as far to clean up the ports and polish them so there smooth after my rebuilds in fear if I try to port the cylinder I will end up with a ticking time bomb. Any way enough of my rant, you make great work and I enjoy the content. P.S. If I don't learn to port a cylinder expect to get a call from me.
We may offer an engine building/performance course soon. A 2 stroke one and a 4 stroke one. Shy of getting a dyno of your own and doing a lot of trial and error - you will struggle to make much progress on modern engines. They are just already darn good. Thx for the feedback - always keep learning we need new young faces to pick up and innovate beyond what we think o
That is great to know, well done & for a young man considering a 125 instead of going into supermini, These 85 to 112 are the stepping stone for youngsters to begin the enjoyment of bikes. Somewhat rules out going to the 125 for weight ? These big wheels are also great for someone to just have fun on, with these kind of power numbers are unreal
Am I out of my mind for thinking an adult could use this for a rocketship trail bike that’s easy to throw around? I’m only 5’7 and always had a fascination with 80s
I'm 5'11" 200lbs and just got a kx112. I fly through the trails, pull wheelies through 3rd and still jump it. Idk why so many people are against adults riding superminis but are all about pitbikes. This 112 is great for trails and much more fun than a pitbike, and still much more agile than a full size bike

Nice to know, im running 31 horsepower straight on mine 112 supermini in Denmark, ported, fmf big bore, vhm head and 28 mm smartcarb. It is running slightly rich, i was running 25 horsepower on the same dyno as maxed 85cc with stock 28 mm carb 😎👍
@@HPRaceDevelopment alright, im riding the bike as a supermoto, and i can just tell, that after installing the carb the bike runs so much better on the throttle. No bug or lag, just smooth on the gas. Thats more important for me than top end power, so im a fan 🤷
In Europe, many builders can’t run good fuel. From what we’ve had on the dyno from various top notch builders in Europe, on our dyno many of the bikes are about 36-37 on the ktms, and most yz’s are 35-36 An all out effort for us has tickled 40 but most of them do 39 In other publication dynos such as MXA, 40 on our dyno is over 44 on theirs.
@@HPRaceDevelopment Funny how competitors dynos are "loose". I'm into drag racing as well and have learned that the good ones use tight dynos. Their engines don't seem to make as much power but run better numbers at the track. ;-)
If you had roughly 1k to spend on a 85 that already has a pipe while keeping it 85cc, where would the money best be spent? Head, lectron/mod carb, porting? 2019 KTM 85sx
It would be sweet to see Yamaha YZ85/Suzuki RM85 with similar work and porting etc and see what power it makes on the dyno to the KTM!!! Take an older one and make it max power hahaha
@@ericschumacher5189 i'm curious too. My daughter has 4 more years on a supermini and sometime she'll need a new bike - not having to drop 2k just to get from 85cc to 112cc would be nice.
Here is a question for you since you were talking about carb sizing. I always hear people making the claim that airboxes are restrictive and if you open them up, ie put more holes in them/ whatever you will make more power. This always has seemed like a false claim to me as I assume that it doesn't matter because of the relatively small cross sectional area of the carb itself. And that allowing more open air before the filter wouldn't matter as long as the cross section area of all the openings before the filter matches that of the carb's cross sectional area. I'd be curious to know what conclusion you have come to?
What do you do when you ported the cylinder your got any pictures or videos explaining what to do I got a 105 kit coming what are the exact gains of the porting you did thanks.
@@HPRaceDevelopment reason I asked is I have an opportunity to buy a built lynx 112 with 3 hours on it that was never raced. We only ride single track.
@@jackieonassis7438 As i stated - the rpm window of an engine is determined by the pipe length. if you wish to lug - the 112 will be more of a lightswitch than an 85 If a proper longer pipe was made it would be what u wanted
What was the mods on the 85? Head only? My 12yo is aging out of his 9-12 class & needs to step up to a supermini, but idk about a full blown 112 stroker yet..... Maybe a 105 bolt on....
We have 2 bikes with HP's 105 build as our practice bikes and they absolutely rip with the added benefit of being extremely reliable. We've put around 60 hours on each as 105s and the only issue we've ever had was with VForce 3 reeds chipping early. Went to VForce 4 and bikes are incredible for 105s (we did run the KTM bolt-on 105 kit for a bit and the HP build is much faster and just as reliable). We didn't feel the need or a 112 until we started trying to push into national level competition and then the 105 got out-motored by top riders on 112s on hills. 112 takes a good bit more maintenance (currently at 5 hours replace rings, 10 hours piston + rings, crank at around 40 hours, reeds at 15 hours) and we only run it in races never training/practice except one short practice session before a race so he can feel out the jumps with the added power.
How did you set deck height with the longer stroke? The deck height tools don't seem to work. Did you just go by squish? If so, what did you set squish gap to?
That's the purpose of performane engine building - finding what works. Then replicating it, then understanding why it works so the concepts can be applied to future builds. We most certainly don'ty run the piston "height" relative to the deck anywhere near the same as a stocker
Yes we sell a complete custom programmed CDI box for all our modified packages. Without one, no engine builder is doing much, as the ignition curve matches ports and engine size
@@HPRaceDevelopment yes I saw that. What I meant is what did you do to it to make that much power while still being 85cc as you have 3 lines, stock, stock bore 85 but with big power and then modded. I m curios about stock 85 with more power, that I couldn't find
Yep. But it’s fairly useless. Long story why but ultimately power is what matters. This is true of a 4 stroke too, they like what they like, and once you find the max power setting, your goal is to replicate the indicated afr on the dyno to the afr you see on track. This requires a data system (we own and use) and lot’s of hard work and testing. The afr is a tool, not an answer
@@HPRaceDevelopment ah. Got it. Makes perfect sense! Optimum fuel to air ratio coincides with optimum power. What's your take on Smart Carb for performance? I've read that it utilizes positive air pressure to deliver fuel and also enhances fuel atomization but requires quite different order of operations for tuning AFR.
