Minibike build

[karte_m0lim]

so, as there was lots of parts from past or broken projects , decided to build mini bike ..
plan was to post it in build off thread but as ther is no 2021 , I will psot it here..

as I said , some parts I already have, somo of them are ordered , mostly from China..

 

[karte_m0lim]

so first started with sprockets for TC... since last time I use it I had few kilos less ...

also had to make hub for rear sprocket..

 

[karte_m0lim]

frame... didn't like first version ..

so changed a bit... and then , wheel was hitting a frame (03)...

so changed again .. still going to be tight ..

 

[karte_m0lim]

I do not like original fuel tank so maybe to use this one (at least to fill the gap between engine and seat)..

 

[karte_m0lim]

front.. its hard to find "normal" tyre for minibike here so going to use go-kart narrow tyre.. initial paln was to use rear tyre and hydraulic brake but that would be too much wide ..

also , I wanted to have fron susspension, tryed few types, but it's just ugly... so its going to be as on pict 10 ...

P.S. can admin please edit my thread name

Can you drive something like this on the street over there?

not legally, but police never came here so I am counting on that and good neighbours

 

[karte_m0lim]

nothing new, but for those whom do not like to read :

fully welded, grinded...
remains to bleed the brakes, put the chain and still waiting for kill switch ...

And we’ve been waiting for you to update us. So now you know how it feels to wait. Now when is the turbo engine going to be done for the kart?

Seriously man it’s looking good!

 

[karte_m0lim]

thanks m8 ... turbo is not option, I barely put Karb not hitting frame

That funky wide-asked rear tire looks really cool, unique, haven't ever seen that on a minibike before.

 

[Kartin’ kid]

Yeah, love the slick

 

[karte_m0lim]

Thanks guys, regarding slicks, it's really hard to find any kind of small tyre here that can fit for minibike.
Usually, there are scooter tyres, but they're 10" or bigger. and I had some parts from gokart..

Anyway, after the first test ride, engine (tc) alignment wasn't perfect so I redo engine mount and also switched to smaller chain and sprocket keeping same gear ratio. At least, I can lean on left side now (sound so American), leaning on right side is bit sketchy as brake disk hitting ground.
Still have to clean the carburetor and adjust it a bit, as it works on choke only.

Cool, now all we need is a picture of your wife doing a face palm while looking at you and mini.
