SOHC Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I could go up a few more teeth on the rear sprocket and call it finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yup only limited by the chain hitting the ground with small wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ratio do you have on your scooter? and what do the wheels measure from the ground to the top of the tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 At the moment its bad it tops out at 65 would only do 45 if it still had a governor. Its 16t to 17t thru a jackshaft to 13t with 42t on the rear 6.5 rim. Its made from leftovers of other projects its scary fast wheelstands when the clutch bites which also makes it shit to ride so is important to get it right.

SOHC Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 I was going to gear mine to do around 28MPH, I just came up with a plan to make a jackshaft on an outrigger off the PTO side on the engine New clutch came today but I have sent it back as the bearing was rough as shit.

Seedy Al Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 You may get bored at that sorta speed. But then its all good fun so I would just recommend having the ability to swap out sprockets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Have you seen these guys "Detroit hood tv"...it' ghetto as fuck...but once you get past the gangsta bullshit it' got some mad mini bikes racing. Shows the potential of these Honda clone engines. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a crash from that, wouldn't recommend it. Avoid chain/sprocket hitting ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 It hard to get anything I need in nz, I got a 11t and 17t sprockets to make the jackshaft, they are 420# I need to fit keyed bosses to them as they are front sprokets for a motorcycle, I could only find 3/8 tapperlock bosses, started to machine them down but found they are some kind of cast iron, I am unsure if I can weld them to the sprocket now, if its malleable iron I could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You may get away with welding? I've locked spider gears in differentials and welded the steel pins to the cast iron heads before. Ideally you preheat...weld...then bring temperature down again slowly to prevent cracking. Other way about it could be to grind a keyway in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I just sprung for this in end dead easy bolt on and forget. I did swap one sprocket for a 17 tooth motorcycle one to slow it down and help the clutch live. https://www.trademe.co.nz/1667334685 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 This is what I am doing, Just need a short bit of keyed shaft, there is two of those flange mount pillow blocks mounted back to back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Pretty sure i have just over 100mm of 5/8 keyed shaft somewhere. Would that work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have decided to just use a plane 5/8" shaft witch is just a sanded down 16mm bar and I will get some 25mm bar and make some plane bosses and weld the sprockets to them, I will drill and tap some 6mm bolts in a couple places and drill into the shaft to lock them to the shaft. I found a company in auckland witch sold the sprockets I need ready to fit but after I saw the price they can shove them up there arse, I could seriously travel to another country on the money they wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
