Does this motor from California motorbike look worthy?

Thank you Norm, I am willing to buy it so I have a prototype to give me a model to work from but my next purchase after this one I will cut my own. I'm pretty jiggy with that shtuff I got plenty of carbides so I'm pretty sure I can probably do it.

I appreciate your wisdom sir.

That ebay engine is a 49mm bore iron sleeve. I've heard good and bad about it. The bad stuff I've heard is soft seize issues mostly. Everything else I've heard it's a great engine after matching the sleeve to the ports in the aluminum.

Well I pulled the trigger on the deal, I got the race motor And a REAL mz 65 pipe in the box.... for $220 bucks.

I got an extended warranty accident " no questions asked" insurance on both for 3 yrs for$30.

Now I just have to wait for it to arrive...

* Looks out the window like it's going to make it arrive sooner.*

Is it here yet?

I think it will look awesome on my bike, not so much because my bike is so great the fact that makes it awesome is that it's MY bike that it's going on.

Hold on

Ok this is an honest unbiased fact report on this motor only, as I didn't buy the whole kit. But I'm sure that the throttle and the gas tank and all that kind of stuff is standard issue.

Though the ported cylinder , windowed piston and the balanced crank are good, every other component on it is "factory second" quality.

The bolts are decent, but the nuts and washers are garbage.

The gaskets are ok.

The oz mag and magnet clone seem fit. Time will tell..

The clutch pads are GARBAGE. When I went to remove them, they just fell apart and had no compaction to them at all.

The reed box is crap as is it's hardware, reeds seem ok.

The carburetor is crappy poorly made clone mz style.

The oil seals were lower quality than what I'm used to seeing even on a budget motor and he has the cheaper bearings open on both sides, when what he should have is a sealed bearing on one side next to the oil seal.

If you have the mechanical inclination and money to dump into it to replace all the cheap ass cheesy parts then I say give it a try.

But don't buy this motor and think you're just going to slap it on the bike and head to the races because the way that the bike is modified it will very quickly overpower all of the cheap and cheesy components around it causing it to have catastrophic breakdown before 500 Miles.

I'm changing out the oil seals the bearings the clutch pads the carburetor and Reed box and cylinder head, the only thing that's going to stay the same is the case, cylinder, rings and piston.

My mz65 pipe is coming tomorrow so I will be able to give a review on how well it runs after it gets here.

I think if I were to buy this again I would just buy the ported cylinder and and bottom end and buy all of the rest of the parts elsewhere.

Though I do have to give Zane his props for his friendly prompt answers..

The rest of the review will come when I have the bike assembled.

To be continued...

My pedal arms won't clear the mz65 pipe... I'm gonna run it without pedals... I finally got it all put together and put on the bike today and it doesn't fit...man...

Oh well time start looking for another bike to put it on!.

Post pictures of the problem... I'm sure it can be fixed

This is a side by side of the geometry of a stock pexmor"100cc" kit Crank ( standard issue) and a trued crank out of a wildcat pk80.

First off is the noticable diff in size. The pk80 looks twice the size and weight. It's thicker and the hole orientation is much broader.

Notice that I said that this was a trued crank and not a balanced crank... apparently there is a difference. Stupid me thought truing and balancing were the same.

You know what a balanced crank is. À trued crank is one that is more precisely built and has stricter tolerances. It's like putting horseshoes on à colt that hasn't been born yet.

Instead of balancing it after it's been made they try to balance it before it is made so apparently a trued crank can also be balanced, which should make it ultra smooth... Right?

A trued crank is a quarter inch thicker the lobes are bigger and you can tell by looking at the pictures it's just bigger all the way around it takes up more space in the case so it stuffs the case.

Just thought I might point that little tidbit of information out so everybody's aware cuz I wasn't.

Thank you Norm, I will do that as soon as I get it back together.

I decided to change the weak oil seals and the no seal bearings to upgraded ones with the inside seal pulled out because the ones he uses didn't have a shield or a seal on the outside by the oil seal and the oil seals he put in it were cheap and flimsy..... and everybody says they leak because of the back pressure from the reeds so I just went in and changed it before the gaskets had burned on.

Clutch broke. California motorbikes sells nothing but garbage and I would avoid them at all costs.

The only thing I can do is to get extended crank and broad pedal arms. The way I welded the frame up it's not welded up for an mz65 pipe. I think I'm going to shelf this motor and start running my LD again.

 

[Wevil Kenevil]

Well, after changing the cylinder head, the clutch pads, the clutch, the bearings, the seals, AND the carburetor... AND ADDING A REAL MZ65 PIPE... THIS BIKE HAULS ASS!

I took off the p.o.s. vm22 carb knock off and replaced it with a standard HP carb with a 75 fuel jet and made my own reed manifold intake cover...

Actually this motor is too fast for this frame length. My friend gave me a $600 1997 Schwinn homegrown mountain bike made by yeti that I think this would go better on.

What do you guys think of the custom handlebar I made?
