Hey all, my name is Chris and I’m from Bethany, Oklahoma. I want to start by saying Thank You to those that have contributed to this forum, I’ve already been able to find several answers to questions I’ve had.
Long story short, I bought a bike this weekend from a friend of my wife’s that someone else had already installed a chinese 2 stroke kit on. She said her husband rode it a few times before “it quit”.
I’m a handy guy and I enjoy a project, I’ve owned a couple of gy6 scooters and a few motorcycles over the years (Yamaha radian, Fz6, Honda vt750). I enjoy working on mechanical things and electronics are a bit of a hobby as well.
10 minutes after getting it home I had already determined that it was a wiring issue, everything was electrical taped together in a bundle and the magneto had come disconnected. A little bit of pre-mix in the tank and it fired right up.
Like the wiring a lot of things on the bike needed to be re-addressed. I took the opportunity of fixing the wire to run it all internally in the frame. I also shortened drive chain, re-centered the drive sprocket, sleeved the kill switch wires and touched up some scuffs on the engine case.
The bike needed a total detail so I went to work on that as well, also removing all the cheesy “Hawaiian” themed stickers.
After a new plug and some carb tuning she rips. Top speed (downhill) is 35mph by gps. Which honestly is WAY too fast for this platform. It’s a hoot to cruise around 20-25mph though.
Here are some pics of the finished product. I also designed and 3D printed a few items for the build including a 60mm filter adapter for the nt carb, a custom mount for the Cdi and a sprocket alignment tool.
