You almost got a dream bike in your hands, she looks great and seems hella fun. It looked like you were flying on there. What ever speed you were going actually looked like you were going it.😉😁
Thanks Johnnie! Now that the ported cylinder is on the bike I'll soon be sending you the stock cylinder, piston, and adapter plates. Still good life left in it (I think).
I’m a new guy n just subscribe, I got 1 coming in the mail anytime now, first build n can’t wait,,luv your channel n going back through watching all your videos,,Thanks man!!
Entertaining as always my friend. The progression of your builds and your Channel have come a long way. Keep up the great work and thank you. Have you ever weighed your builds just curious?
LA Hover always a good watch your videos , very entertaining !!! I'm looking forward to you leaning out the engine to its potential performance and hold the F .... on ! a comparison between my basic ported performance engine that i sell and the basic ported performance engine Smallik sells would be entertaining if anything
Thanks a lot for the videos! I watch your videos more than any of the others, just because I feel that you give an honest opinion on whatever it is you're testing, weather you liked it or not.. You have sold me on more products, your videos have, then anything else or anyone else.. Thanks again!
Yes the 1976 yamaha DT100 cylinder head is probably what Ethan and Ryan copied the design from but most definitely the chamber is a direct copy of a Stage 6 cylinder head
@@darcyhemeon4309 Oh yeah, it's not a direct copy at all. Call it "inspired by". The fin size and density is much higher on the Smolik head than the Yamaha design.
@@darcyhemeon4309 It's not a 100% copy though. There are elements Smolik added that the DT doesn't have, and there are things they omitted as well, such as the horizontal winglets between the fins that direct air down through holes in the head to create low and high pressure zones. Hence "inspired"
Switching to a B7HS plug should make the engine run cooler, especially thinking as you run a high performance cylinder. I even use B8HS for my 60cc moped as it runs very hot. It is safer running colder than hotter, but it might make it a little bit harder to start.
@@evenbuzzard4642 My motorized bike just has a cheap bicycle frame with stock tires and rims, i have only modified the engine so far, still not enough for the frame or wheels to be a problem.
Build number three under way. 26inch Hyper cruiser stock pk80 cylinder and bottom to start and it is damn clean ports all around. Head has 3cc added to it as I reshaped the dome then full polish and plane and mounted all up. Catalytic converter into 8 port copper glass pack. 32t sprocket coaster mount cnc (had to try one). Triple tree suspension front end heavy CNC riser. Wide set bars. Still waiting on disc brake set. Stock tank. This one will be shall we say somewhat refined compared to my past two grip it n rip it builds.
Love your videos man, you inspired me to do my first build ever the other weekend, I got the seeutek motor kit and the install was a learning experience but everything came together nice. Haven’t fired it up yet as I have a steady leak coming from the carb and ran out of spare time, hopefully will get her going this weekend and take my first ride!
Carb leaks are normally caused by a bit of junk in the carb that blocks the fuel valve from closing all the way. A quick cleaning usually does the trick. Sometimes a few taps on the bowl with a screwdriver will get you by. This is assuming the carb is not tilted at an extreme angle.
Hey LA.The best way to find an airleak is with carb cleaner.Just spray it on a suspected leak area and when you find the leak the rpm will rise noticeably.
Great video! I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on those wheels. But damn you've sold me! Have you seen DLH 127cc engine pre sale? I've never found forks for bicycles with mounts for dual brakes. Funny how a normal bike can do stoppies on rim brakes, but as soon as you add a motor they're basicly useless.
Amazing video. I love that you did coverage of the gemini wheels, i've had my eye on them for a while. Are you using the zeda 80 bottom end on that motor?
This video is literally coming out at a PERFECT time for me! As I’m currently just looking into different wheel sets for motorized bikes. This is mainly because my current rear wheel has a quick release skewer to mount/ dismount the wheel on the frame. It does have a disc break hub so I was able to make a SOLID sprocket mount with it so I do definitely want to use it on my bike for more reliability than a clamp on adapter or rag joint. However, my main concern is that I literally have just that thin little tiny rod that’s holding all that weight and vibration. This is probably why I haven’t yet seen a single one of your bikes with a quick release but I still would really appreciate your input here. Do you think a quick release is a cause of MAJOR! concern on a motorized bike? or can it be left alone until you figure something else out? I do know it’s definitely not something to use for the long term but for now I’m not too sure what else to do, as I don’t think I can use a thru axle on a quick release wheel nor can I thread a bolt on axle through it as a quick release skewer has a much smaller thickness than a bolt on axle. Other than buying a Gemini wheel I’m not sure what else I could do. Any and all input you have on this would be MUCH! appreciated. Thanks so much!
As far as I'm aware it's not the skewer actually holding the weight- it's just holding it in place and the hollow axle is supporting all the weight You can get a fully threaded solid axle from probably any bike shop, online or even just a different wheel that you don't care too much about(it just has to be completely straight (because bearing adjustment with a bent axle is literally impossible to get perfect) and have good threads, just that you'll need to adjust the cup and cone bearings yourself in each of these cases, which can be a pain
I mainly watched the video for the rims as I think I'd like a set, but you damn near have me sold on the minarelli "I spelled it wrong I know" I bought a 212cc Predator last year sometimes with plans to build a motorized tricycle, but I'm thinking about just slapping it on the phatmoto at this point 🤣
I have some fooker pedals on my normal bike and i love them. They look and feel nice, and they grip really well and are strong. The bearings are also incredibly smooth. They also clone raceface chester pedals
#1 An air scoop for your cylinder head, to help cool it would be pretty easy to build..... #2 The Gemini wheels look high quality (some oval spoke washers for the rear wheel would help make them even stronger) #3 I'd love a 26in steel, full suspension frame similar to a motoped with those Gemini wheels for a build . #4 After paying $75 for the larger "Nasty Jack" expansion pipe, I wish I would have bought the smaller $45 ex. pipe instead. One $45 pipe I seen did have a smaller header tube ID & belly but much better welds & no kinks or obstructions in the header tube bends for better flow & it's probably also lighter. The other $45 chrome pipes had kinks in header bends & worse welds. The $75 "Nasty Jack" pipe does have a larger header ID (& larger belly) but is all crooked, poor welds, with obstructions inside that won't help flow. Plus it's on the heavy side, I'm gonna have to bend the piss out of it to make it fit & hope it works. VS $45 pipe, that I might also have to bend but would have more clearance around the gas tank. In hindsight, not all the $45 expansion pipes are the same but I really wish I would have bought the black one with good welds & no kinks in the header.
Another thing if you are having issues with temp and tach you need a resistor plug or ngk resistor cap. You want a colder plug. We recommend an ngk br7hs or br8hs especially when temps get hot out
You haven't seen real power until youve tried a Piaggio!!! Jk great video! Thanks for the review, good or bad I always love the input. Looking forward to your future content!
Thanks! Bicycle Engines now sells the Phantom 85 top end that can drop onto a yd100 bottom end... But unless they corrected the intake port I don't know if I would trust it. Note: you would probably still need to open up the con-rod for the 12mm wrist pin.
@@LAHover thanks bro I went threw two phantoms but one they sent has a true yd stamped bottom case the other one seems to be the same thing but it's just missing the stamp but I was thinking more down the lines of putting like the MS 460 or 660 one of those on there because I was reading some posts on the phantoms and his dude said he's on his fifth one lol bro I just want to slap a quality piston and jug on it
Want one of these for my CDH Gasbike, which seems to be going through back wheels, damn thing ain't even broke in yet and I'm already on my 2nd wheel...only trouble is the Gasbike's set up for 24" wheels, and I can't seem to get an answer as to whether or not the maker does these in 24"...suppose I could just get the hub, and have a bike shop here lace it up for 24, but that's just added cost...or convert the bike to 26". You had said previously the wheel takes a 300 size tire I think? Pretty sure that's gonna rub the sidewall...maybe get the hub like I said, and have my guy lace up a 24" steel rim for a standard sized tire, and just eat the cost of that...hmm...
@@LAHover While I appreciate your time and energy, doing creative stuff also, (mostly let's plays atm. for lack of gear.) The reason I was asking for a total parts breakdown, is for new builders like me, when I go on amazon, or any other retailer, it's difficult to pour through all the crappy parts to find decent ones. But if I could just copy your build, I at least have a solid foundation. For me, having owned two bikes with the chinadoll motors that spent more time broken than running, I am about to throw in the towel and say all of these things are junk. You seem to have a knack for finding reliable parts. Anyways, just my thoughts, you do great content. Keep it up!
i got a light setup using a bundle of laptop batteries my nefew made a 12v basically smaller then a fist running 12v lights i havent had to charge them yet and i have had them 2 weeks
I have Gemini wheels that I am running with a set of Serfas Drifters 26"×2" and they work great and are just over half the price of the hookworms. Also running a 203mm caliper in rear with a QM9 adaptor and can't got much bigger on sprocket but atleast the Minarelli has enough power for the 36t.
Nice. I have both sets of tires, but I haven't run the Sarfas yet. My hookworms are just barely touching the frame on my Trek 820 Antelope (1992). I wish you could share pics in the comment section. I have it on my channel tho. It's a runner for a China D. I'm running a 36 also. I have a 32 on my Mina Chopper.
Yeehaw! She looks nice on those Gemini rims man. After she opens up I'm interested in whether 55 mph is possible here. Yd100 is running. Got a MZ65 clone on it now. Sounds good albeit a little loud for town riding. 110 revival, please? I saw a guy put a 090 Stihl on that bottom end. Might be an interesting vid idea.
Wow! Puts my bike in the shade. They havent caught on here in the UK. Mostly because we have a fasist government at present. E Bikes, nobody says a word. G Bikes, you have to run the gauntlet every time you ride. Its a great hobby, and as I like to say, 'If it aint bankrupting you, it aint a hobby its a pastime!'
Sounds like a 125cc and Sweet.Glad you found some awesome wheels for all that power.AFV is for the vids where you just rip the spokes out of a standard rim while punching the throttle,but we'd get a chuckle here too.Rather see you safe though.Thanks for the great info.Happy Trails.
I hope Darcy doesn't get "upset" over this. Good luck!! Great video! 👍Sometimes you have to see what's best for YOU. All of these set ups have their pros and cons. Also depends if your out for speed, or dependability.
What is thier to get upset about . Great video LA Hover did , did I miss something , it showed all my performances products... performing well. Don't you think , he's has my PowerStorm system , my SAF Super Clutch keeping the power to the wheel and my performances cylinder pulling hard , LA hasn't even fully tried it out . Not even opened up the throttle lol
If we are being honest, you don't take ideas and criticism very humbly. It does seem you are getting better talking about it so, that's good. Competition can and should be friendly. When there's drama in the group, it gets around quick in this small and growing community. You do great work, and know your sh@t, but you don't like to hear any other ways of doing things. Stick to what you do, and stand by it, and make your money. Just like autos, there's lots of options, but it doesn't always have to be a competition. Proof is in the 2-stroke pudding.
@@garylee7774 well when you get personal messages from these guys and thier groupies saying how thier going to run you out of business every chance they get , you kinda get defensive ! I can tell you a few things about DLH Performance is that I always give quick service for products, I'm always available to help you , I give instructional videos to help you achieve your goals, and I'm developing new products to help others . I also stand behind everything I sell making my door open for clients anytime
@@darcyhemeon4309 that's definitely not good. When I had my CB shops, the competition was TOUGH, but I had to realize, arguing with those people only drove customers away. Keep up the good work, keep it honest, ignore the idiots, and people will respect you a lot more. You're doing great stuff. Happiness is is the key to life. We only get one chance at it!
Although I may not be fully convinced that the g2 setup is optimized, I will not deny that Darcy's products (pay for from my own wallet) are strong performers. The work is clean and priced fairly IMO. He has provided helpful information, and been understanding when I make rookie mistakes. When I point out areas I feel could be improved he listens and/or provides feedback. A good example of this is that his clutches now have stronger bucking bars. :) Ride on Builders!
Check out surfas drifters. They are one of tge best tires you can use for tge street. They are made from kevlar and are very strong. No chain clearance issues.
To clarify… your 3rd person view is awesome. If you would let me know that be awesome. If it’s trade secret. That’s ok too. Very impressed with your films
Minareu makes an insulator thst goes in between the carb and intake if hest is an issue. I guarantee he is not an issue using an insulator and intake leaks are pretty much non existing. You are using a vm18 . What pilot jet are you using?
@@kjsmolik When cold it idles fine, when hot it just dies (I do adjust everything when the motor is hot). I have had good luck finding the right pilots and adjust the air screw on every other bike. but this one always dies. I'll have an update when I replace the bottom end, I honestly think this one is bunk. It's been rebuilt, re sealed, and had many different top end set ups. always the same. Just an unlucky bottom I think.
@@LAHover you are using a vm18. The stock pilot almost never works. We use a 22.5 pilot. Sometimes a 20. Sounds like you need to change the pilot. If it had an air leak when hot it would idle high. When cold it needs more fuel for start hence why it idles ok when cold. Then once it warms up its to rich. Put in a 22.5, af screw out 1.5 turns then go from there.
@@kjsmolik it's back to stock because smaller pilots made it worse. It's weird... Even the pz20 and pz19 that run and idle great on my Southern Custom hybrid do the same thing on this motor.
I'm thinking about getting or making a motorized bicycle. I would do more pedaling than motoring. Do your legs hit the motor or gas tank when you pedal?
Hey Quick thought! I'm wondering if you should pop that rear disk brake on the other side of the hub so that oil from the chain won't get on the rotor! That would make the brakes squeak pretty loud.
I live somewhat near you, I'd love to contact you in possibly buying or trading for some of your spare parts. I've followed you recently in the last year and have been binge watching your videos in the hopes to motorize my 60s model Schwinn I got from my in-laws.
Thanks to you mr la hover for your review on the Gemini rims I would be saving to buy a pair at 350.00 .right now I’m watching the economy of my island because I see a few price hike over the past weeks and maybe I would have to help those with less . No worries I specialise in survival 😎. The ported cylinder and head is impressive running that good during braking process you and I know that is twice the speed after braking in is over safe ride on which ever bike you’re riding .i just learn a lot thanks again
Just wondering why your running that scooter pipe and not the mz, after all you said the mz out performed the torpedo scooter pipe a video or two ago. Just curious.
The Jog seems to cruise allot smoother than the MZ. This pipe was also set up for this bike, and it's a bit cheaper. For my style of riding I'm happy with the Jog :)
I love those rims, reliability is priceless.
Those wheels look super beefy. At first glance, I thought they were old school motorcycle rims with drum brakes! Bike looks like a ton of fun to ride

Nice. I have both sets of tires, but I haven't run the Sarfas yet. My hookworms are just barely touching the frame on my Trek 820 Antelope (1992). I wish you could share pics in the comment section. I have it on my channel tho. It's a runner for a China D. I'm running a 36 also. I have a 32 on my Mina Chopper.
Cool thanks for the info!
I also run the serfas, great tire
And tight lock the clutches bolts them,ok?
Stock China doll sparkplug replacement is NGK h6 or what..... I know very little but pretty sure my original is comming to its end
Gemini Wheels 💯, can't beat them 💯the best
No chain tensioner right ? And total inve$ment thanks Ray from North Dallas Tx..
When you first reviewed the Phantom 85, you said that was the most powerful motor you had felt, stock or modified. How does this one compare?
Hi my friend. How much is this one gonna cost me? Bwwwahhhaa! That is a beautiful bike .Any chain stretch?
Yeehaw! She looks nice on those Gemini rims man. After she opens up I'm interested in whether 55 mph is possible here. Yd100 is running. Got a MZ65 clone on it now. Sounds good albeit a little loud for town riding. 110 revival, please? I saw a guy put a 090 Stihl on that bottom end. Might be an interesting vid idea.
He got 52 on a china doll, so it's probably possible for 55 haha
Definitely possible, I've hit 55 on my Minarelli and it's same thing but with a Cortez head.
I have the crank for it, just got to make the time. Might try to get it back on the road next month.
I like at 1:46 when the wheel goes from spinning backwards to forwards.
Lol, magic!
Wow! Puts my bike in the shade. They havent caught on here in the UK. Mostly because we have a fasist government at present. E Bikes, nobody says a word. G Bikes, you have to run the gauntlet every time you ride. Its a great hobby, and as I like to say, 'If it aint bankrupting you, it aint a hobby its a pastime!'
Sounds like a 125cc and Sweet.Glad you found some awesome wheels for all that power.AFV is for the vids where you just rip the spokes out of a standard rim while punching the throttle,but we'd get a chuckle here too.Rather see you safe though.Thanks for the great info.Happy Trails.
Lol thanks builder :)
Fooker pedals r nice for the price 14-25 can't beat it it grips
Do you have any bulids selling..ill check Smolik to see if he has. Looking for something similar to this maybe
I hope Darcy doesn't get "upset" over this. Good luck!! Great video! 👍Sometimes you have to see what's best for YOU. All of these set ups have their pros and cons. Also depends if your out for speed, or dependability.
What is thier to get upset about . Great video LA Hover did , did I miss something , it showed all my performances products... performing well. Don't you think , he's has my PowerStorm system , my SAF Super Clutch keeping the power to the wheel and my performances cylinder pulling hard , LA hasn't even fully tried it out . Not even opened up the throttle lol
If we are being honest, you don't take ideas and criticism very humbly. It does seem you are getting better talking about it so, that's good. Competition can and should be friendly. When there's drama in the group, it gets around quick in this small and growing community. You do great work, and know your sh@t, but you don't like to hear any other ways of doing things. Stick to what you do, and stand by it, and make your money. Just like autos, there's lots of options, but it doesn't always have to be a competition. Proof is in the 2-stroke pudding.
@@garylee7774 well when you get personal messages from these guys and thier groupies saying how thier going to run you out of business every chance they get , you kinda get defensive ! I can tell you a few things about DLH Performance is that I always give quick service for products, I'm always available to help you , I give instructional videos to help you achieve your goals, and I'm developing new products to help others . I also stand behind everything I sell making my door open for clients anytime
@@darcyhemeon4309 that's definitely not good. When I had my CB shops, the competition was TOUGH, but I had to realize, arguing with those people only drove customers away. Keep up the good work, keep it honest, ignore the idiots, and people will respect you a lot more. You're doing great stuff. Happiness is is the key to life. We only get one chance at it!
Although I may not be fully convinced that the g2 setup is optimized, I will not deny that Darcy's products (pay for from my own wallet) are strong performers.
The work is clean and priced fairly IMO.
He has provided helpful information, and been understanding when I make rookie mistakes.
When I point out areas I feel could be improved he listens and/or provides feedback. A good example of this is that his clutches now have stronger bucking bars. :)
Ride on Builders!
What tires did you end up going with for the Gemini wheels?
Check out surfas drifters. They are one of tge best tires you can use for tge street. They are made from kevlar and are very strong. No chain clearance issues.
Sweet! Thanks again for the recommendation.
Were you get the motor from I need one that’s fast
How did you capture that footage? First 5 mins in? A guy needs to know
To clarify… your 3rd person view is awesome. If you would let me know that be awesome. If it’s trade secret. That’s ok too. Very impressed with your films
You haven't had power, till you hop on a running motorized bicycle. 👍
can i ask what this entire setup has cost you
What is the link to this discord server? Is it still active? Even if its not I would love to be able to search through for answers.
How much was the entire build
That set up u have l.a is bad ass sounds amazing
No thoughts of ever messing with a trike?
Sadly no. If my city had bike lanes maybe.
Minareu makes an insulator thst goes in between the carb and intake if hest is an issue. I guarantee he is not an issue using an insulator and intake leaks are pretty much non existing. You are using a vm18 . What pilot jet are you using?
If my memory is right it's the stock pilot atm.
@@LAHover is it a high idle issue or it just dies
@@kjsmolik When cold it idles fine, when hot it just dies (I do adjust everything when the motor is hot). I have had good luck finding the right pilots and adjust the air screw on every other bike. but this one always dies. I'll have an update when I replace the bottom end, I honestly think this one is bunk. It's been rebuilt, re sealed, and had many different top end set ups. always the same. Just an unlucky bottom I think.
@@LAHover you are using a vm18. The stock pilot almost never works. We use a 22.5 pilot. Sometimes a 20. Sounds like you need to change the pilot. If it had an air leak when hot it would idle high. When cold it needs more fuel for start hence why it idles ok when cold. Then once it warms up its to rich. Put in a 22.5, af screw out 1.5 turns then go from there.
@@kjsmolik it's back to stock because smaller pilots made it worse. It's weird... Even the pz20 and pz19 that run and idle great on my Southern Custom hybrid do the same thing on this motor.
I love your bike but mine keeps overheating i have a stock 80/66 cc idk what head i can buy i cant find any in the nederlands
I'm thinking about getting or making a motorized bicycle. I would do more pedaling than motoring. Do your legs hit the motor or gas tank when you pedal?
No, they are well out of the way.
Unless you get a 4 stroke...
Maybe I missed it, but what was the top speed?
Can you put gein wheel on bike with more than one gear
Cool as shit 😎
Hey Quick thought! I'm wondering if you should pop that rear disk brake on the other side of the hub so that oil from the chain won't get on the rotor! That would make the brakes squeak pretty loud.
No set up for it with these wheels but it is a good idea. It's nearly impossible to prevent the pads from getting contaminated on the drive side.
@@LAHover gotcha! That makes sense!
What is the size of that wheel ? Very nice awesome!
26", rim is 1.75" wide
A hub on a wheel with speeds?
We need a copper head
I live somewhat near you, I'd love to contact you in possibly buying or trading for some of your spare parts. I've followed you recently in the last year and have been binge watching your videos in the hopes to motorize my 60s model Schwinn I got from my in-laws.
Where you get the handlebars for your bike I got the same fork from the zero gas tank frame and I'm looking for handlebars
These ones are a stock set of Huffy Cranbrook handlebars that I cut in half.
Thanks to you mr la hover for your review on the Gemini rims I would be saving to buy a pair at 350.00 .right now I’m watching the economy of my island because I see a few price hike over the past weeks and maybe I would have to help those with less . No worries I specialise in survival 😎. The ported cylinder and head is impressive running that good during braking process you and I know that is twice the speed after braking in is over safe ride on which ever bike you’re riding .i just learn a lot thanks again
Thanks for the feedback builder :)
We’re can I get the Gemini rims
Do you Maryland have a window piston in it
Piston is windowed.
Just wondering why your running that scooter pipe and not the mz, after all you said the mz out performed the torpedo scooter pipe a video or two ago. Just curious.
The Jog seems to cruise allot smoother than the MZ. This pipe was also set up for this bike, and it's a bit cheaper.
For my style of riding I'm happy with the Jog :)
@@LAHover ok... smooth is always king, power is not
As important as comfort, imagine that! Very cool thank you Hover.
can you ride the bikes in the rain/wet im sure you have been asked this before but all the forums are giving me mixed answers
I do it all the time.
I even made a video about it, where I all but drown a running motor, lol enjoy.

TOP SPEED RUN WHEN?!?
lol alot of drama in the comments lmao Stir up that POT love the build black and blue stay true
I wish the gmini rims had Greese ports for added life

What exhaust is that?
