Anyone have motorcycles? Road or dirt, post em up! Ill start. I currently have a Kawasaki 1990 GPX250. My brother has a Kawasaki 1992 ZZR250. My dad has a 1995 1500cc Goldwing Aspencade Anniversary edition. Enjoy.

So i was bored and whipped this up. Still have to add a seat, make some pedals and connect the throttle and make some lil scrub brakes. Then give it a coat of flat black and thats all. I made this with stuff i had lying around so the total cost is $0.00. It has a 3hp with a 6:1 ratio (i think...

Alrighty so many of you would remember i put a victa on the kart a while back.(http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5189) I didnt really like the power so i put on a honda gx120. Now im getting the two stroke bug again and it needs to go back on :). I first gave it a rebuild just coz i...

Ive been thinking of this suspension idea for ages. It would only be for on road not off road as it would only allow about 1cm travel each way just enough for little rocks and such. Basically there would be an extremely heavy spring of about 2cm on either side of the steering pivot. The picture...

Alrighty so i picked up a 1990 gpx250 unlicensed on the weekend. It runs, has no mirrors, some fairings need plastic welding (hopefully getting them done next week, tabs have broken off on belly and the bottom fairing is cracked) and just a few little things. When i got the bike it had a chain...

Ok so im planning on putting this robin 7.5hp on my kart but then i thought, "hrmm a bike engine couldnt be too much more". Ive planned it out and i think my project will cost around 100 bucks for 4 pulleys and two belts, (i could be over estimating). Would a 250cc bike engine or even a 125cc be...

Ok so im currently getting a 7.5hp robin engine ready for kart use. I have to get a few things TIG welded but thats another story. Anyway it has a 25mm shaft and is fricken hard to turn over. It only has a pulley not a recoil so if this goes on a kart i have to do something about it. Heres where...

Hey guys im currently building a rc car powered by a 31cc ryobi engine. Check it out at my youtube page www.youtube.com/brendonv101 Cheers.

Hey i just fitted a gx120 on the kart (goes wicked btw) but the clutch keeps slowly coming off no matter how tight i tighten the grub screw so i need to put a bolt on the end. What size is the bolt that goes in the end of the crank? I thought it would be 8mm but the thread is different. Im...

Time Restriction: 3 days Objective: Make a ride able mini chopper with little or no money spent. The chopper frame was built out of exercise equipment that was collected from the rubbish collection. The forks, seat, wheel holders and a few other parts like cables and levers were taken from a...

Well i use to get many youtubers ask me how i make my gaskets so i thought i would make a video on how i do it. My dad showed me how to make them this way and it works perfectly. I also added a little bit at the end on how to tighten the bolts afterwards if anyone needs to no. well enjoy...

Well, as im in australia i thought i would make a victa engine for kart use. As no one really does it or documents it when they do i, found it pretty hard to get any info on the subject, so i had to work it all out as i went. Victas are everywhere in aus and there is always about 20 of them at...

My dad bought me this in a motorbike auction. The company went bust and was selling everything for what ever they could get for it. I got this for $600, it had a price tag on it for $3200. No wonder they went bust lol. I also got a helmet for $50, 3 pairs of no fear pants for $110 when there...

Im thinking of rebuilding my 2hp kart engine and mod it a lil. Im trying to find a cheap dremel (anyone no where to get a cheap on in aus or on the net?) the only ones i see are in the hardware store for about 120 bucks. I want to get a dremel so i can port and polish it and shave the eyebrows...

Well, my 2 horse has a tube from the valve breather tube to the carburetor to maximize air flow. I was also thinking of drilling a little hole in the engine cover and sticking a tube from there to the carburetor so the air given off by the flywheel would also maximize are flow to the carby. Its...

Im in need of a 5hp-6hp engine, preferably briggs. Im in Perth, Australia, if anyone has one laying around that can give me, ill pay for shipping, that will be awesome.

Project Budget Kart Here it is guys, ive been working on this for about 3 months mostly everyday after school. I welded it all myself and designed it myself. Yes it is 2hp but i think it goes pretty fast, since ur low to the ground in a go kart and have no suspension, 50km/h feels extremely...

My 2.5hp crank snapped and i got a spare 3hp that doesnt work, will a 3hp crank fit in the 2.5hp? There ends are the same size i no that its just the weights that im worried about, they may be to big and hit the crank when u turn it. Anyone know if it will fit?

Heres the pics of the transformation of the kart atm. It isnt done yet but will be soon. The back axle isnt on yet i just put the wheels on a piece of tubing and put it under the back so it looks better for the photos XD. Enjoy build so far. NOTE: Dont talk about, "a 2.5hp wont get u very fast"...

Check this out: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=uyiTL2aoqvM&feature=related It looks as if they got like pvc pipe over the wheels or some other thin plastic. Its like on rc cars, u put pvc or abs pipe on the rims and it will drift as it has like 0 traction. This would be wicked! It doesnt require...
