Felt Cruiser Build......not for cruising
- Thread starter scotto-
- Start date
Yeah there's a bit of difference between hard nylon with or w/o a bearing and softer urathane with two high-end skate bearings. I'm quite sure you won't find a single kit part on this bike.......positive in fact 
Ya prolly won't see the idlers after I make a guard for it anyhow

scotto. i see no need for the top idler, to me it's just another bearing to go bad with all that torque on it. if your using it as a guide i'd line it up so the chain does not power against it. just my 2 cents bro. dennis
before you installed the top idler pulley, would the bike would shake during fast acceleration? and now that you installed it, it shakes less?
I don't ever recall the bike shaking at all, with or w/o the top pulley. The only time it has ever shaken is when the driver pulley on the CVT would get out of whack. Or when we have earthquakes
These are some pics of a guard I made for the drivetrain.......simple, cheap and effective. This is prototype #2......#1 isn't finished yet.....
This set-up is one inch narrower than with the CVT. I think you know what the purpose of the guard is. Joker Machine will prolly get a good laugh outta this one

The one thing I never wanna see is some guy riding an MB while wearing a thong.
Good Lord almighty I hope you are referring to wearing flip flops here!

Yeah the seat isn't real thong friendly......don't ask me how I know
And then there's this guy wearing no thong or flipflops before the guard was installed. Did I mention he'd been drinking?

that bike is mean i might try one of them engines in the future on the next build or the one after im happy with my 66cc flying horse for tooling around but that thing sounds like its insane would love to see it in real life just to look it over but am on the wrong side of the country from what it looks lone in your video
Scott, thought that you would be interested to see that you
aren't the only one going away from using a CVT on a race bike.

A little update........had a great day at the race in Riverside yesterday, the bike ran better than ever and was surprisingly fast with the new mods and some race fuel I blended up. I didn't mess with checking the plug to see how it was running at the track.....really didn't need to.
So I pulled the sparkplug today to see how it faired after a hard day at the track, and this is how it looks:
This is the original sparkplug with less than 40 hours on it in the one year of racing it.....not bad.
With the new jetting and higher compression, I think it looks about right with the new fuel blend. The bike was geared right and the acceleration was impressive.
The only probs I had at the track was about 130 thorns in my tires (from over-shooting a turn) and the bike stalled on the take-off of the finals which killed my chance for the win, but I still placed very well considering.

and I thank you for giving us that well needed head start!the bike stalled on the take-off of the finals which killed my chance for the win, but I still placed very well considering.
Maby she was protesting the thorn treatment?
I am glad to hear that the new engine/ trans worked excellent.
The spark plug looks perfect as well.
Sorry to hear of the freebie give away on the win. There's always next time right?
