better fix the seat then, this way you will slide backwards, besides dangerous, it simply sucks if you have to keep doing your best to stay on the seat, with a torque machine like this it should at least be flat, or better a bit leaning forward, nice to see you got recognised by HTP, thumbs up
You're the type of guy I aspire to be: you have a vison? You do what needs to be done to make it a reality. Seeing you working on your projects and getting them done really inspires me to get out and stop slacking on my builds
You're killing it man!!! Best advise that I was given when I was younger and first learning to weld was to just play play play play and play some more with the settings on the welder and keep notes of what the settings feel like and what settings you like for whatever material you're working on. I used to keep the short notes of the settings written down on a small piece of paper taped inside my helmet and kept a more detailed notebook in my toolbox. I still have that notebook (along with a whole bunch more) in my toolbox. Man......... I'm just now realising how many damn notebooks I have that are completely full. And I actually refer back to them more often than you would think. At least twice a week I'm digging through those notes for something or other.
I have to say, from all the power machine building channels in UA-cam, your’s and GHPC are the ones I love the most. Man, your designs are awesome!!! Your content is getting better after every video. Congratulations to you. Your limits are far...
@@VasilyBuilds Gotcha. Regardless, do a leakdown test and plug chop before hooning on it. I've had multiple blasters in the shop from people who worked on them themselves and it's usually an air leak/poor jetting that cause the top end to go.
👍 Im glad you & family are safe. Congrats on new welders and welcome to TIG !!!! 🍻😁🍻😁. Good to see this engine going into a minibike vs scooter. Not hatin' on anything tho, I'm just amazed to watch your progress. Thank you and nice work Vasily !
I'm glad you and your's are safe."Professional Hobbiest" is a great way to earn,and let your mind run wild.Love your rolling works of art,Vasily.Stay safe,and Happy Trails.
Not to be critical, dragbikes have found that engine placement is important in getting the bikes hook up all the way down track. What they have found is placing the engines as far forward as possible makes a big difference in how they e.t. Looks great by the way. Excellent job!
Another nice build vasily! I've been fabricating for over 25 years and I have mad respect for you young man. Congrats on all the sponsors! KEEP BUILDING! Oh, and somebody get this man a lathe
Thats dope nasty!! We were hit by a tornado in sand springs oklahoma in 2015 and rebuilt and then our home was flooded in the big flood from keystone lake and our house backed up to the arkansas river so it was hit hard and we had 5' of water in it and my wife and i and our 2 boys bought it from my parents 12 years ago so it was my childhood home but after a tornado and a flood we decided to sell it as is and move on unfortunately. So sorry to hear about all who has lost their homes or worse. Thank god you and your family were safe. Crazy Crazy times brother.
Sorry to hear that things aren’t too great in your area at the moment but I wish you and everyone around you all the very best for the future. Things are looking great on the mini bike and you’re not doing bad with the new machines. I look forward to seeing more as soon as you’re ready to share with us. Take care and stay safe 🙏🏻

Firstly. I like your low tec notching. No need to get hitec if you dont have the inclination. The use of the pipe bender the way you did was great. Good job man.
Really looking good! And have to say it awesome watching you and your channel grow been watching since the Walmart bike build sub/ bell since the 2t scooter. Its really cool keep it up!
Very nice use of your skills and materials! That Yamaha Blaster engine looks eerily similar to the silver/aluminum Sacks engine that was in my 1973 Penton 125 ISDT! That was the quickest air cooled 125 ever! Matter of fact I used to out drag some 250’s on dirt!
Great build. Those TIG welds weren't bad. I think you just need to clean things up better. To get a nice TIG weld you want really clean metal. Flap disk then acetone. You could see a few sparks in the video which is a sign it's not quite clean enough. Looks like you nailed the heat and the speed and getting enough rod in there which are the main things.
Just a suggestion where your top tubes and bottom tubes meet on the down tube of the triple tree I would put a gusset there to help with keeping the front from flexing and possibly causing the frame to separate
@@DktheWelder gussets are always a good help. Just like building a roof you would want the support to keep things from flexing under any load and fall apart. Try to find all of the points that maybe a point of flex and put a gusset there
Once you go TIG you dont go back...TIG is so controlled and precise that you can beautifully weld even the softest materials. Keep practicing buddy Im sure you will master TIG welding soon.
Just one tip when you get a welding sponsor like HTP and your testing it in a video. DON'T put Vulcan or any other competitors logo dead center while using it. Just my two cents Other than that 👍👍from this guy
Nice, your welding with a CK...🙌 I cant afford getting them to here, the torchsetup then costs about 240 dollars but it would be really nice to have a CK cable! They are so nice.
Congratulations my friend, I loved your project, you are really a great designer this mini bike was very cool.(Parabéns meu amigo, adorei seu projeto, você é realmente é um grande projetista essa mini moto ficou muito bacana.🇧🇷
Hey vasily, it's funny that I got a minibike like 2 weeks ago, then you got one. Then a couple of days before I got my old go kart you got one too. I love the builds
Looks mean AF but I can't help but think the bottom of the bike with bottom out even on slight turns. Last thing you need is for the frame to scrape the floor and send you sliding
Hi Vasily I miss your videos on the motorized bicycle are you planning to make a video in the close future? Btw just as an idea maybe try putting a oversized engine on a bicycle just as you did on that mini bike
Yeah there quiet there inverter welders plug into a 120v and you get 400amps out of it but Esaab and Miller and Lincoln are the top machines for me yessireee
I’m new to the channel. I work at Volkswagen in Chattanooga. From Grundy county. Now subscribe brother. Looks like an awesome channel and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Hell yeah brother
Got a question for you. What would happen if someone welded a sprocket onto the crankshaft of a 212 instead of using a clutch for one of these? I have an older motor, one of the predators before they became a predator, greyhound or something like that, and was thinking about trying it to see what happens on the new mini bike I got. Gonna make a video on it here come Friday!
As soon as you go to start it, it's gonna fly off, and if you try to stop it it's going to stall. You need some sort of clutch. What you could do is weld a 1" collar on the sprocket and then the sprocket is removable
@@VasilyBuilds i wish, hey if you wanna see a crazy build check out my upside down KX125. Its gonna be different... Yours are pretty freaking awesome by the way.
The goal is not to look fast, but also to actually be fast. I believe this thing will be able to compete with some fast cars in the 1/8 mile
Could you please let me know the name of the Beat at 8:00, Thank you.

Vasily Builds if you put a kill switch on the gear lever you can bang through the gears fast without the clutch. Same as what a race bike uses
Ur a nice person

BRAVO! *GO POWER SPORTS! and *HTP! You put your money on the right MAN for the job! Peace.
This guy's got like 7 welders and I'm on hold until I can find one lol, keep it up that bike should be really fast
Only two. Got rid of the rest

Glad you were safe during the storm can't wait to see this thing fly!!
She’s gonna rip for sure! Awesome.
*Looking Good!!!*
But.. Going to be CRAZY When she is done!
Perfect engine for a mini bike swap! Can’t go wrong with a air cooled 200cc blaster engine 🤙🏼 keep up the great vids!
Congrats on the sponsor ship...its looking good 👍
Good video,, I cant wait to c that running.
Can't wait to see the finished project! Alas, I hope you, your family, and the rest of the folks in your area are doing ok. Take care man!
Sir, That is Clean!
Very Respectfully,
Glad your safe brother
Might as well call it the Pocket Drag Bike. That thing looks TINY, but looks like it'll pack a punch!
It's all epic...excellent thought process...I want to ride it....Very nice video....you are a natural...
Another great build. Cant wait to see more of the miata!!
Great video mate really enjoyed it stay safe stay strong
Here. I'm so excited for this build
Looking sweet as bud 🤟.
Things gonna fly 😄

I was not surprised when you decided to change the front braces. 😂
Man I can't wait until I get a Tig welder, Nice first time Tig welding! The minibike looks like it's gonna be fun.
I just knew you were going to go for a spin on it this video! Good stuff bro 😎👍
Cool build man!
Just one tip when you get a welding sponsor like HTP and your testing it in a video. DON'T put Vulcan or any other competitors logo dead center while using it. Just my two cents
Other than that 👍👍from this guy
They should have sent a helmet too...
Looks like that exhaust is going to be in the way
When learning tig, good joints, and no filler rod, unless you really need it.
Bob G you have to use filler wire on a structural joint
Man that think is coming out nice looks sick bro
WOO HOO!
Nice, your welding with a CK...🙌 I cant afford getting them to here, the torchsetup then costs about 240 dollars but it would be really nice to have a CK cable! They are so nice.

Chattanooga. Nice. I’m in Dunlap not too far from there.

nice job guy that thing should fly just got a blaster frame-up and next the crank and should be good as new
Mint dude
If you can keep the thing straight youd do good in the quarter too
Dope dope dope skills
Looking good man would love to check them out sometime. I live about 40 miles south of Chattanooga. Tornado came through as well.
