ok got it back, was out riding, it seems ok, im still paranoid of it failing and me dieing, what doi you think? they look like good welds, it was done professionaly
nice! i just got my super industrial grease, its by lubemaster, it says its good for 20000rpms, 200 tons,400c and prohibits rust, it is grey and super sticky, wont come off hands! it says on the bottle do not get on skin(should have read that first) and causes blindnessShould be fine kid, send in some pic's. My Hoot is still kicking I have close to 500km on it now.
See ya
he is correct, just a tiny dab of grease is working for him, but i am an overkill artist, plus i think i have a grease fetish because i secretly wait for the time when i get to take it apart and grease it up again! but thats just me, you may be perfectly fine adding grease once and leaving it, but if i were you i would at least grease it once a month, or add grease nipples, thats a great idea! i added about 2 cups of grease into mine(that entire gearbox has no air just full of industrial grease) and the clutch doesnt slip at all,I am sure you could do that with maybe 2 grease nipples. I gotta tell ya Karma, I have applied grease once, I have now around 600kms on it I know it is not many but I have not had one come back, they are lubed with what I think is engine oil when you get them, I took that off and put some sticky grease on it I took it apart just to see a week later and all was well so I have not checked again in 2-3 weeks.
keep us posted on how it works out for ya! i think you will be pleasantly surprised, i have been putting mine through ****(i took it on the trails last night, i rode up a huge hill, i had my back tire spinning for a good 3 minutes as i climbed this muddy hill, i love the torque!)half the fun is experimentation. ill see when i get it. grease nipples is a good idea.
no gears, its just the same as an ht engine, but the 4 stroke has allot more low end torque, now i should state my back tire is bald, and the hill was pure mud, and i was leaning forward, but it can be done,linnix you got my attention with the spinning of the tire up a hill??? thats possible with you on the bike??? so i dont know much about these gearboxes except for what ive herd, this is what ive herd theyre CRAP and they work with 4 stroke engines if anyone could quickly brief me up on these and the kind of power they can produce id appriciate it, so do you change gears as you ride???
Hey, I did one like that a couple years ago. Actually worked well until the climate got to it. I used a modified Bob trailer with a Ryobi driving a PM motor to recharge it. I would be interested in seeing what you come up with.
i will be using it with a electric push trailer. that i started working on.
half gas half electric
