Baja Warrior Mini Bike

[Bluethunder3320]

Yeah, when I get the buttons this thing is taking a swim in the parts cleaner.

{EDIT}
Heres my bike from today.

dang that thing is in rough shape. lol. well there supposed to be driven hard so its a good thing

Used and abused!

Slowly, I will make it look nicer.

Actually, I think it looks worse in the picture than it really is.
So it needs a good cleaning!

im using your thread for this, even tho it shall kill mine, so everyone look at mine ! lol, but according to an ebay chart i was looking at, the xr100 uses the same brakes as the baja

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yeah i think they do use the same brakes. i have changed xr100 brakes and they look exactly the same

 

[B.M.800]

Hey Blue, can you give me the specifics of you TCs driven axle shaft thingy?

Im trying to figure out what I need to do for mine.

 

[kendelrk]

are you talking about what you need to do to mod it to fit the baja? if so, just watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82AirkKFyo0

 

[B.M.800]

Only problem with videos is I use a school computer... and ofcourse they block just about everything that is actually usefull... fortunately not DIYgokart!(that would suck!)

Now, I have found a way to go to whatever I want, but it only last a few seconds.

Ill have to go to a different computer to watch it.

Spaeakin of TCs, my sister got me some of those cam button things, MADE IN USA TOO! However, she only got 1 pack, came with 3, I need 6.

I wonder if theyr plotting something cruel...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i thought theres only 3 buttons? lol

and what do you need specifics on about the TC? sorry if i dont remember

 

[B.M.800]

No, the driven requires 6 of them. they come in packs of 3(why?)

The TCs driven clutch axle shaft. Do you have it in the stock JS mount?
Do you have any pictures of it?

I just need...
2nd pack of cam button thingys.
a new brake lever.
axle shaft for the driven.
new tire.

I think thats about it.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

the shaft is metric so you cant use the stock backplate.

i am using a jackshaft plate off a manco go kart.

 

[B.M.800]

I think I can get new bearings to fit the stock JS mount, with a 5/8id. Ikk get this ting together somehow...

superglue!

 

[Bluethunder3320]

well the dimension from the shaft to the JS is metric on the baja and standard on the comet so the stock plate will not work with the TC... youre better off getting a backplate for comet.

 

[B.M.800]

I will just need to get a 5/8 round stock, I can get a bearing to fit the id of the stock mount. I would just need to get my brother to cut a keyway and put some threads on it.

Where could i get a backplate from anyways? I did look around a lil bit but couldnt find any.

[Bluethunder3320]

[B.M.800]

Didnt have one on the kart.

You really only need 3.

 

[B.M.800]

You really only need 3.

Really? What exactly do they do anyways? I dont quite understand how they work.

6 would be better though?

The buttons reduce friction between the two cams, and prevent the cams themselves from wearing out. The buttons also act as a spacer, moving the driven sheaves closer together (that is why your belt gets sucked down into the driven, although the spring could be bad too).

Yeas only 3 are required, the other three would be there if you made the cam face towards the engine, but the 30 series is asymmetrical so it only works with the cam outboard. The other three might also be used if you ran the system in reverse.

In short, you only need to use 3 buttons at any given point in time.
