Hey guys,
About to begin the first build, which will be a 2 stroke 66cc 'Santa Fe Cycles' motor, with a blygo expansion chamber exhaust. Gonna mount all this onto a Malvern star vandetta frame ( so it is a mountain bike frame) with a dual brake lever so that I'll have both v brakes going, eventually hoping to get disks.
I've ripped some handlebars off an old bmx, which when turned around and upside down give the bike a cafe look.
Anyway, my main questions are, that when I get the engine kit and start building it, because although it's designed in the USA, I'm pretty sure it'll come from China, what areas of the engine could do with greasing, replacing, sanding, porting? Or anyone know some comprehensive threads about these topics.
Other than that, make suggestions, post pics, share advice, because it is my first build, so any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Below is a link to the enging kit I purchased, and I'll post pics of the bike so far later.
