Thank you soo much. I was building my motorized bike for 2 days then I was trying to start my bike nothing was happen. Thanks God I Found your video before I got frustrated. And I was following your instruction and what was happened my bike started right away. You are a great guy and I'm so very happy and thankful❤
Did this and it fixed my issues. Good vid bud. I had to tighten my butterfly nut a little more than your example. Chalked it up to worn pads and high compression. Cheers
Thank you so much. I've been fighting with my clutch for a while now and this is all I needed to know!
You're welcome!
This was a godsend. Thank you so much, I had the first issue you mentioned and was getting baffled and frustrated. Extremely clear and informative, and got my machine running like a dream.
+Trev Wignall happy I could help! Share with others if you think it will help
lol this notification popped up while i was repairing my clutch
+Michigan Motors it was meant to be! Lol
@Matt Johnston lmao the same shit happend to me
Same dude
That's your phone ease dropping dude frfr
@@shawnpearl2846 eavesdropping is one word. And it ain’t easy. Lol. Have a rad day.
Awesome how do video! It helped me out big time, clutch now works perfect now! A very informative and straight to the point video! Thank you! Subscribed!
Dude you saved me! For over a week I couldnt figure out what the problem was. Thanks for your expertise!
This really helped thanks you hit the problem I'm having rt on the head it's my first build your videos have been awesome thanks
Thanks. My 66cc wouldn’t start until I ensured that the clutch pads were loosely fitted in the plate and I’d increased the tension on the main clutch spring. Then it started up easily.
Thank you very much. I have watched 5 or 6 videos on clutch adjustment and since I'm still watching more videos it's obvious non of them helped me. Until now. You fully explained how to adjust the clutch. It worked. Thank you. Every one else left out key information. I feel like they did it on purpose so I could not fix it myself and would give up and take it to a shop and pay to have it adjusted. Very dishonest as far as I'm concerned.
So thanks again for explaining "each & every" step to correctly adjust the clutch.
Happy to help out!
If you have a clutch that needs a pre-load adjustment, how do you do a pre-load adjustment with the drive shaft/ clutch shaft installed in the engine?
THANKS MAN! U SAVE MY LIFE! GREETINGS FROM CHILE!
Nice on the cluth adjustment💯 I use extra heavy duti grease for the clutch gear ⚙ but definitely will check out that spray you used 👍 nice on the video ma bother mat God bless you the family and the whole world stay safe ride safe 💯💪
i have 2 questions first one is i have jack shaft on my 80cc and when i release my clutch to take off the engine dies and 2nd question what is the red material around the tank
I'm glad I found your video again. My clutch will not adjust. When I loosen the chain the clutch assembly wobbles. It seems to be more extreme than the normal play I have seen in these motors. The drive gear on the other is tight but the assembly is loose. What do I do next?
Hey man I just got a motor bike kit recently. I’m having a problem with the clutch rn and although this video is helpful for the future of my bike I need help with another issue that arose while building please let me know if you could be of any help
your video did help me out i had unlock clutch this i have try feel flower nut when went tight i lose up you put between screw that how it holds flower nut.
Do you have a video showing clutch pressure plate adjustment after replacing worn out pads on a Grubbee 49cc 2 stroke? Thanx for any info-John in Texas
Thanks this is pretty helpful.
How could pedal through when the clutch lever is out and it becomes SO TUFF to pedal your wheels? Should I loosen it up to the point b4 the CLUTCH SLIPS?
a good reset is always a good start
heads up your Clubman bars are backwards or upside down or you like your throttle on the left side? Those are designed to be the other way and if you run them the direction that'll it will be uncomfortable angle on your wrist but I love this video probably one of the best I've seen
this is one of the best help videos I've seen - I have a new motor the clutch is so stiff the rear tire locks - you video is exactly what I needed - now I need help wit adjusting the throttle cable which doesn't seem to have play - cable is too long and throttle turns only an inch or less - when I assembled the carb the insert tube that holds the cable was very tight and I had to pull it out with tweezers - could this be the problem? thanks much
Jamie Sutliff make sure when you put it back into the carb you line the groove with the notch so it seats back all the way
Dude you just save me..my back tire was locked and i was working on it for hours , and all it was ...was the clutch wire not tight enough😂 thanx for the video ...i probably would of tore the bike apart if you wouldn't of uploaded this video👍
Hey man great channel i watch all your vids , i have another ques how much play should the needle bearing between the conecting rod and the piston have ? This is the second engine i had the same thing happen it looks like the wrist pin is pushing on either side of the clips and pushes them out into the engine , im at a loss these engines should last longer than 150 mile! Btw i bought one from gasbike a gt7 80cc and one from kingsmotors a yd100 i rebuilt the yd100 and its running but i hear a rattling noise which i think is the conecting rod moving around . if the gave me the wrong bearing they should replace the whole thing .
hey alex , what could you tell me about the pipe on this bike im considering the same one for a rebuild im doing thank you for any help and your vids have taught me alot :)
Just watching this now. I loosened my clutch plate abit awhile ago. And before that my bike used to crank up with about 1-2 released of the clutch. Now I find that it’s a matter of luck for the engine to crank up. Sometimes I’m peddling for 10 miniutes releasing the clutch and it won’t crank. But when it cranks the engine is smooth af. Very fast and nice to ride. Do I need to tighten my clutch plate ? Because my clutch cable is good
Thank you so much this video was exactly what I needed my clutch arm was a totally different now it’s all tight doesn’t even move when I had it before it was all the way in and that’s not how it’s suppose to be
how fast does your 66cc (im assuming) bike go? what sprocket tooth count, and whats the torque like uphill
Thanks for the info.I really needed that.I'm just through my first tank of gas and loving my ride.Know stuff will happen tho.Really like the pearled blue on your project bike too.Happy Trails.
awesome awesome !!! You literally answered all my questions!!
I assume it would be possible to put a centrifugal clutch on this bike motor.
On the clutch side how do you get the small gear back flush with the clutch gear
I followed your video and it helped but my motor is still revving with little power to the motor. Is it time for new pads!? Help!!
Hey thanks, I just fixed my bike thanks to you. 🏁
Thank you for this video. I had problems until this came across my path. Like the way you explained everything
stupid question but I am building my first bike and i do not know if you need to put oil in the motor and if so how much or if it comes with oil.
Can the chain be to tight to make it slip as well. It's my first time and it's been three freaking weeks literally rode it for 10 mins the chain got super loose so I tightened the chain by taking a link out and now my clutch is slipping
What kit would be best fo a mountain bike with a 1-3/4" inch diameter down tube ? Thanks
Should probably add that sometimes one of the engine block bolts behind the clutch plate itself can come loose and lock everything up, even with the clutch engaged. The bolt came loose and pushed out to lock the plate.
Brainerd Glarpinax I hope he do a video on that so I can see what you are talking about and learn something new! 🙂
Cool clutch adjusted. And bike runs good !👍🏽
Hey, I haven't found a video about bearing maintenance. How often would you recommend cleaning and greasing the wheel bearings. This is my first build, so I'm still learning. When I was a cross country road racer(many, many years ago) I did maintenance after every race over 50 miles. But again, that was a long time ago.
i do a full tune up every 2 months
Motored Life That sounds like a pretty good plan. I'm waiting for a new rear wheel because the bearing race on the drive sprocket side lost a big chunk.
I would blame myself for not aligning things properly. But all of that was triple checked. I was pedaling without the drive chain connected and it made a loud pop and locked up.
After opening the wheel up, I found the damage, but never found the missing piece from the race. Sucks and inconvenient, but the new wheel should hold up better since it's steel and not aluminum.
the way you use white lithium grease is exactly perfect you are one of the few people who has figured it out
So your suggesting to do this
Seedless Grapes. YUP
I'll give this a go tomorrow, outta my years working on the bikes, i haven't really encountered this to a extreme degree of slipping until today.
let us know how it worked
Worked well, had to install a new set of pads, but it was strong.
Thanks a million I actually just got my gt70 up and going I got like a 1000 bucks into it but it's really nice got lots of nice parts on it
Not gonna lie man, you just saved me from two weeks of frustration 😭😭 thank you so much.
Yup!
hi Alex I'm ordering one of those CNC sprocket adapters and my axle sizes 1 inch and 1/8 or 27mm so which size should I order thank you very much
John O'Meara go with the inch adaptor. Would rather be too small than too big.
When I first got my engine I found it impossible to get the clutch perfect. It appeared to be working fine but I noticed when I lifted the rear wheel with the clutch in, it would rotate. I realised the clutch pads were not being completely even. After a week or so it became perfect. The clutch arm on mine had a screw to hold the cable in place which was useless. I stripped an electrical plug and used the brass bit that holds the fuse(on a UK plug) to hold the cable. It looks and works perfectly.
Hey man I need to do this
I am actually having the same problem when the clutch is disengaged and I am idling the bike can move forward on it own but it’s very faint I suppose it’s just uneven clutch material
I followed your directions to a tee and it worked as far as resetting my clutch goes but after every long ride it seems that the clutch lever squeeze requires more and more squeeze until It needs to be squeezed all the way in and eventually it won't freewheel with the clutch lever squeezed all the way in. Any idea what this is guys? Sorry for the long ass paragraph. 😅
Thank you so much for this video man. Really appreciate when a person gives straight forward and step by step instructions that are easy to understand.
Thanks again I saved this video and use it when I forget. It really has helped!!
My clutch lever on the handlebars is hard to pull and takes a lot of strength. Is this normal or should I adjust something?
Do you guys know where i can get a new clutch plate? My little screw beside the star screw is stripped.
I think my bucking bar or cluch camshaft is going the cluch arm can't be tightened anymore one of these is bad can u help me
Best clutch video for the motorized bikes did this just as described and haven't had any trouble since
Should I do more 101 bike vids?
@@MotoredLife yeah man
Awesome vid man, appreciate you uploading it
The star nut on my 48cc engine (kit) is on SO tight I can't even get it off. Sucks b/c I really wanted to put my high temperature high performance clutch pads on. I held the clutch handle in (and locked it), pulled the clutch arm, even saw a noticeable gap between the star nut and the clutch plate (even pushing the clutch plate in against the spring), and I even tried gently "tapping" it loose with a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to try and get it spinning but it wouldn't even budge. (And yes, I removed the little locking screw!) Now I'm concerned that, if the threads got stripped when they put it on too tight in the factory, then I won't be able to get it back on if I DO manage to get it off. Ah well, it is what it is. This is my FIRST DAY getting my bike going.....spent HOURS the last 3 nights straight putting it together from the kit (I've NEVER done something "mechanical" on this scale by ANY means lol), so I'm just happy to be able to ride it! But I DO want the high performance clutch pads on, too...
what seat post do you have on that bike that goes so far back and whats the diam / MM of it ? , ive built a cruiser and im way too far forward ... gotta have that seatpost bruh !
bike wasen't running because clutch getting disconnected when you let out the clutch, did what the video said and started right up. thanks alot dude!
+Jacob Phanton happy I could help!
Hey man great video...😁👍 this helped tremendously
Another awesome video bro.
Thanks bro
Hey I'm looking to get my second engine kit now should I buy one with a high compression head from bike berry, zeda, or gasbike and why ?
+Devlin Melton zedamotorsports.com. their zeda80 stamped rod engine Can't be beat. Tripple 40
Thanks for the video, keep them coming!
Thx bro, for some reason I have to reset my clutch every other ride lol, but this video helps me fix it every time
Hello your probably not on this account anymore but I guess it’s worth a shot me asking. My clutch arm (where the clutch cable runs through and you have to screw it in with the little screw) is bent inwards and because I need my clutch cable so tight it’s rubbing on my carb and sticking I was just wondering if you had a video where it shows how to adjust the clutch arm
The arm should readjust when you disconnect both sides like in the video. If you run into more issues you can email me at MotoredLife@gmail.com :)
So if I lose torque on my bike then does that mean there is something wrong with the clutch I hit the throttle when I'm riding and it's lost lots of torque for some reason?
Hey how are you doing so I just got my first kit and the engine seems to turn over when I let go of the clutch but when I pull in the throttle the engine will rev just I don't get any power and move why is that I've checked throttle cable changed jet needle from middle down one
+Devlin Melton spuratic revs usually means air leak somewhere. Check the seal under the magneto magnet. Its the first one to come loose
Motored Life ok will do I'll check it when I get home now I did notice there was a little leak coming from the top end right above the muffler could this be why ?
Devlin Melton, it sounds to me like your engine isn't starting. What you're hearing is just the sound the air makes as it's entering the carb, and exiting the exhaust. It gets louder when you give it throttle because you're pumping more air. You need 5 things to run an engine: air, fuel, compression, spark, and timing. With a new engine you shouldn't have to worry about compression, timing, or air, but you should check to see if your cylinder head nuts are tight, just in case. Your problem most likely isn't fuel, so that leaves spark. Make sure your wires are connected properly, if they are, your magneto, CDI, or spark plug is probably defective. If the wires weren't crossed, and it still wont run after fixing them, then you probably fried your magneto by trying to run it with crossed wires. Don't worry, the magneto, CDI, and spark plug are all cheap and easy to replace.
Assuming your just needing to adjust the clutch and can still roll it etc. In stead of holding the clutch arm, just disengage the clutch by pushing your pin in or if you have the clutch with the grooves on the lever hold it on the last position. I have the red and black clutch lever with the grooves so I just pull it in and lock it in one of the grooves then I can undo the flower nut. If you are having a problem with the clutch lever and being able to hold it just pull it with a zip tie until you're finished
Got to ask . I see you always have beach cruisers. Is there a front fork that will interchange on a 26in. As a upgrade
Yeah most 1" suspension forks work
So, on my way to Advanced today to get a new plug it stalled on me. Well on the way back it stalled.
I took the spark plug out and then i put it back on, started her up and she revved realllllllly high so i shut it down. Then my clutch stopped engaging. My bike kept rolling even with the clutch not pulled out.. Just like in this video. Also, when coasting, if i pulled the clutch in, it would also rev really high. Is that caused my my clutch plates slipping? Is my idle too high??
Well the advanced autos around here do not carry a replacement plug that fits correctly. So for sure sounds like you blew a hole in your piston or broke your rings. High rev = air leak/hole somewhere. No compression/bike moves with clutch out = rings broken. Take the head off look for metal chunks
Did all that and back tire is still not moving and clutch arm gose back to lose after I put the flower nut and stuff back on.
I did exactly what you showed and my clutch still slips no matter what. When you pull in the clutch handle my star nut keeps going after 3 turns. And the more you tighten the star nut it pulls the clutch handle in. And it still slips no matter how tight I go. Why is my clutch arm pulling in when I tighten my star nut on the clutch plate? Why would it still slip?
Wicked vid dude keep them coming
When you lubed the little gear it had me thinking of my clipper oil which I believe is mineral oil! I wonder how that would do?
very informative and nice explaination bro.Thank you
Use the grease paste..... Is it okay 👌🏻 in the clutch pad
Are there videos on how to do what your talking about
Will this tune fix the slipping while riding?? Traveling at 5/10 mph then give more throttle to speed up n it's slipping.
Its should yes. May need to tighten the flower more.
Now that's awesome I learned a lot now I know how to reset my clutch now keep up the great work bro
+Alan McGrath thanks for the support!
Motored Life ur welcome buddy
Thanks so much for this video brother! I believe I have this issue. I'll give it a try tomorrow...👍🏾
My clutch doesn’t keep the tire from moving when disengaged. By when engaged everything moves fine. I completed the steps shown but nothing is changing. Plz help
Do you want to know how to install a stihl TS400 cylinder?
Hey motored life how much for a bike ready to shipped
ok so this first adjustment you did, was the engine engaged or disangaged? was the chain moving or not ? i need help so pls reply.
Take it all apart with clutch disengaged. Start from there
Good vid bro ty been going through hell 2 weeks metal gasket from zeda had to re do it head gasket back rim mag wheel hole bunch tlc people
I have a new motor and can't get the clutch to engage. I've have gone through the entire procedure as you've show in the video and the clutch still will not engage, even when I push it with my hand. Do I have to take out the clutch assembly and adjust the spring tension? Is this common to get a motor that is not adjusted properly from the factory. Do you have a video to show how to adjust the spring tension.
+Bernie Olivera have to do both in that order. Most clutches are not set correct
I found another video that shows after taking off the clutch plate you take off the nut and with a hammer tap on the 3 studs a few times each, in a clockwise sequence. Then with the clutch lever engaged you force the tire to turn. After doing this a couple of times the clutch started to disengage. I did it again this time I pushed the bike around. And it unstuck (yes that's a real word) completely. I replaced the spring and clutch plate and adjusted it the way you show in the video. It works and I'm so happy I don't have to pull the clutch assembly to adjust the spring tension inside. Thanks for you reply
i dialed my clutch in basically as you showed. seems like my tire wants to lock up after rides, then loosens up when shes all cooled off, ever heard of that?
Good stuff, Alex! Got anything on four stroking / carb adjustment?
I have a 79cc bikeberry 4 stroke been riding around all winter. This one shakes and chugs like non other. So I duno
Super clear instructions here mate a very useful video thankyou 👍
Good video. About to perform this check/reset on my bike now.
Where you shop I have a problem with my bike I can’t figure out
I need some help with my engine, after I rife my bike for a while and when it gets up to operating temperature my clutch starts to get out of adjustment when I pull in the lever the clutch is still grabbing
Dominator 235 I also have that problem
I’m Assuming since the clutch heats up and expands its too tight of an adjustment. So i’d back off the adjustment slightly to compensate with the temperature changes.
You should be able to find a sweet spot. I also use different color markers to mark the adjustments i’ve made.
👍
Absolutely love your handle bar. Is there anywhere you can get the handle bar alone?
These are actually regular stock Cranbrook bars that are flipped upside down
Ahhhh ok
crazy you bought back the Neal lusso. I've actually bought back a few of my old bikes that people bought and then broke
Hey it worked few times starting up then didn't I forgot to put washer back on that tiny screw put it on correctly it don't work tire spins when handle is out did I break something help
Nevermind that half moon key popped out put back it's fine great video man
+james clark the star nut backed out. That little bolt locks it in place. Take it and the plate all off try again.
Recently bought an 80cc bike engine, and clutch wasnt working out thw box. Fixed my problem, thanks a bunch!
Anytime!
Thanks for watching!
This helped me a lot. Many thanks.
hey my clutch slips a lot and when i open it there is a little oil on the clutch pads so it looks like oil is some how getting on the clutch pads and making it slip. also after wiping the clutch pads making it dry thinking it should work for a little before oil gets in it it still slips and even gets worse. can you help me out, or give me some advise of what it could be.
Check your seal the crank gear you should not have oil in there. Ive had pads ruined by oil. If you are getting enough grip from the clutch spring it should burn that off and stick.
@@MotoredLife ok thank you
castrol industrial wax on the drive gear i think works the best but i use a little bit of ep lube to to help with it becouse the wax is wax and it stays right where you want it only bad thing is that it cost but a tube will last you a life time but one other thing it is good for is frozen bolts just put heat on bolt and then put the wax on it that is an old timer mech showed me that shit years ago working on heavy equipment in a salt water emvirment it works that all i know so try it out
i have been doing this shit a long time
Its not the wax, its the heat. I call a torch a 'blue wrench'. When you heat it the metal expands and as it cools it shrinks back. During this process it has broken loose from the rust and is easy to remove.
Castrol industrial wax is really good shit!!! Works well!!!
Hey bro I was doing wheelies and when I Slamed down my bike just started to Rev super bad so I shut it off and now it won’t start
I have my cable adjusted so there's no slack and clutch works, but when I try to lock my clutch lever with the button, it lets out just enough to where the gears are engaged. Does this mean my flower nut needs adjustment?
The handle locks suck.
Quick question...when I go to bump start on my brand-new 80 cc the clutch barely grabs enough to turn the engine over. Is it possible to b too tight?
There should be no slipping at all. If ur clutch and gear doesn't turn smoothly thats a problem
Motored Life everything rolls smoothly, I've even had the motor running last night. But when I release the clutch it slips for a second and then starts to turn over. I thought maybe during assembly someone handled the internal clutch components with oily hands or maybe the flower nut is too tight? Any help is much appreciated!!
Motored Life u said before that the pipe that comes with the bbr stage 4 was junk, did you mean the banana expansion chamber?
I'm on my 3rd zeda motor and I've never achieved a spark on all motors. Could you make a video showing how to test for a spark?
good idea
ive seen the magnets reversed from the factory
the wooduff key needs to be a 2o'clock
Easiest way I've found is to adjust your cable to take out the slack depress the clutch handle to the lock if the clutch won't disengage spin the star nut out till it's free and then back in 1 or 2 notches should be set if it won't engage spin the star nut in until it touches the plate and then 1 or 2 notches and it's set in both cases you'll need to adjust the cable to remove any slack
