Hi I noticed on a post of yours from a while back you were running the f2 thrust exhaust. I was hoping to run a similar setup to yours with the silencer on the end. Whats the easiest and cheapest way to do this, and does it negatively effect performance. Please let me know. Ive seen you all over these forums and respect your opinion.

Yes the muffler does restrict power a bit, but was worth it to tame the roar! I used a kit muffler, cutoff the pipe on the muffler and the "stinger" pipe on the x-pipe but left a 1.5" stub on each to connect them, insert one stub inside the other and then welded. You need a support bracket mounted to the frame or you will break the cylinder at the exhaust port. This setup has worked well for me.

take off magneto and sand the engine block where it comes in contact also sand the magneto itself then just redo all the connections twist the ignition coil making sure sparkplug boot and cdi are secure

Hello,

I've watched your videos on YouTube and your use of an engine with the Land Rider shifting system is intriguing.

I found a ladies version on Facebook Marketplace for cheap and was wondering if you feel it's robust enough for a 3 horsepower 4-stroke engine. I really want to use a Lifan 79cc like the Phatmoto bikes.

The men's frame is pretty solid. Though I did have to weld a reinforcement in on the right side chain stay because it broke lose from the frame. The rear axle is very low grade. So I'd suggest replacing the freewheel hub at least with a cassette hub. Are you planning to do a rear mount or a mid mount?

1stly, thank you for your reply. It'll be mid mount. I just watched the videos again and was wondering, is the zinging sound from the Staton gear drive? Also, I watched a bike mechanic guy talking it down because of the pedal cadence required for shifting. That shouldn't be a problem with engine power.

Yes the gear box does have a bit of a whine. I'm a large man 250 lbs the bike weighs 100 lbs. With the system I'm using there's no slippage at all. The shifting cadence is adjustable on the derailleur. I prefer it to be set high since this way the gearing is more in sequence with the gearing.
