Muncie Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm tempted but I'll end up been that guy always needing gas needs a decent size tank 1 litre doesn't go far.... gone from 100watt electric to 14.5 kw petrol %14400 power increase has its disadvantages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Might be for sale my tenant has given notice and I'll be on ACC in bloody February after surgery. Shit timing!

flyingbrick Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 God damn.. wish i had $$. And also so funny that you mention acc and surgery (after your crash ths other day) Could be taken soooo wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 True that.. I built this thing out of sheer boredom and literally stuff laying around my garage while Sitting on an office chair or laying on the floor when i was off on ACC recovering from a blown disc in my back hence it kind of evolved over time with no firm end product in mind. Skid on treadplate getting out of a van = 6 months off and surgery fall off the Death Ped few grazes and not even a day off work. It's practically safe.

Muncie Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Proof it actually hit the road this weekend. Clutch slips and it eats wheel bearings will worry about that soon guess second hand parts will be in various states of disrepair will try the wheel kimjon gave me seems a bit tidier. Still fun all the nasty handling has gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 So despite having a sprocket on rear wheel bigger then the rim it's geared to the moon due to the engine having such a huge output shaft my clutch has 16 teeth. I knew this but have been trying to recycle parts I already had looks like I'll be remaking the Jack shaft. Had er up to 80 kph today without getting anywhere near the governer way to fast really even though it's stable now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Trying a beefier set of bearings in the rear wheel today...... FFS the wheel is a bit of cunt to get off and on hopefully cures the problem or I'm into saeco for a headscratch session or some other conversion. Hopefully last one died due to lack of lubrication when it dropped it's balls out they seemed a bit dry so plenty of grease packed in new bearings.

Muncie Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Bugger me bearing took all of 15 minutes start to finish mint! Giving the clutch a tickle up as it's a roller bearing unit it has grease in it which has got into the friction drum ruffled up the surface a bit so it bites better too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Took it off road today on a school field it does it but gets it's bounce on. Took my 6 year old nephew for several laps of his school on it then his mum jumped on and went for a hoon. It Didnt break ran perfect then i found an ideal muffler in the gutter on a 5k hoon around karaka. Then rememered this old thing 17 tooth will be perfect! Should get it up on the governer.

Muncie Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Naturally when your clutch needs gearing up you get straight in to........ look at the I exhaust made much quieter yet sounds even more like a Harley way deeper yet still pops and spits flames. Had plans for swoopy equal length pipe arrangement run out of bends so 2-1-2 it is. I did start it up with twin pipes sounded like shit this is much nicer sounding then twin and also than the old straight pipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Finally got around to pulling the Jack shaft out and putting on the 17 tooth sprocket went on piss easy really. Video because new exhaust sounds nice. Can now spin the back wheel pretty bloody effortlessly unfortunately it comes on the governer at about 60ks only way to fix that will be to put the flatslide mikuni's on, even bypassing the governer it just can't pull any more air in thru the tiny carb. Regardless i chucked a helmet on and did some laps of Huntly, also did my first little wheelie and a stationery cooling system test and put a big groove in the back tyre. Needs a tow bar for tip runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Quick Google maps fuel calculations I'm getting 4ks per litre I'm guessing 75% of that will be splashing all over the back of my shoes as my fuel tank (old 1l oil pack) has a cracked lid. No way will I be attending a scooter run anytime soon it does mean grass donuts though! Burnt through a tank of petrol just doing those today managed to do a full lawn length tip in without coming off or ripping my shorts.

Muncie Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Since I did the exhaust the front pipe has burnt all it's paint off the back has not so I yanked a lead today..... fuck me it's been running one cylinder this whole time ! The boot had been arcing out so wee dodgy plug lead mod and holy shit it's unrideable it just wheel stands or wheel spins and sounds insane. Can do proper stand up donuts now. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I need a more progressive throttle it's still clearing it's throat a bit so was taking it gingerly sputtering along it cleared and the front wheel came right off the ground about a foot I near shit myself. Took it out on wet tarseal after letting it idle till it was definitely running on 2 if you lean over the bars and get on the front brakes figure 8s are hilarious. So bloody loud! I've torn up the front lawn as well in case I fell off I'd rather land on grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
