Well guys i have almost finish my build and thought i should tell everyone about it. First of all my bottom bar was to big (5cm) so i had to use the large frame adaptor included in the kit. I drilled a hole through the frame well my dad did and we were away. Then i had to grind the threads on that mount so i didn't have to use any washers in between as if i didn't i couldn't put my spark plug cap on as the top of the spark plug pretty much hit the tip of the frame. So i did that and fit the motor on the frame. I also had to cut those threads so the carb would fit in as well.
The next step ( didn't follow the steps in the instructions )
was fitting the clutch handle then the throttle, my dad drilled a 5mm hole 125mm in from the handlebars and the throttle fit right on. I zip tied the cable down the frame and made it look all pretty. Then i zip tied the black box to the frame and left the cables there until i figure out how to wire it.
Next i fitted the clutch cable to the clutch arm but before i did that the inner cable wouldn't fit and the outer cable was way to long so i cut basically half the outside shielding off and then i had 60cm of free cable, i had to drill a small hole in the clutch arm as the gap was to small for the cable to fit through. Then i cut the excess off and voila, the clutch cable really needs to be tight as atm its engaging wen i pull the handle right in, it should engage wen i slightly pull it in as the clutch hold button holds it on only a little bit and atm it doesn't work but ill fix that tomorrow.
Next i fitted the fuel tank, that was pretty easy, just do up the screws. I heard peoples peacocks leaked so to make sure mine didn't i put plumbers tape around the thread and a bit of sealant and screwed it in. The fuel wont leak out and the peacock wont come out either lol. Next i hooked up the fuel line, i got a fuel line filter as well so i cut up the fuel line and fit that in as well. I think the fuel tank really finishes the look to the bike and really makes it look nice.
Next i trued the back wheel and heated the muffler with the oxy torch and bent it a bit. Back to the wheel, it was buckled in two spots, once i did that i put the back sprocket on which was a nightmare. I may of done it wrong but i put it like this, Sprocket, rubber, rubber, 2 half moon bits of metal. The three 1/3 bits of metal were not used. It doesn't say to use them in the instructions and theirs no real need for them anywhere. Next was getting the screws through the rubber holes, the holes were to small and a nightmare to get the rubber on em so i drilled the holes and made them slightly bigger so the rubber slipped on pretty easily. I did up all the screws up a little bit first then tightened in a criss cross fashion so the sprocket was true.
Next i took off the plate which covers the sprocket which entitled taking the clutch cable out anyway so that whole process was really pointless. When i took that off i took the clutch arm out and greased it with molly grease as per instructions and put a little grease on the tip of the sprocket. Then i opened the link on the chain, put it on to find i needed to take about 10 links off so out came the grinder and took a few links off. My dad new what to do so he did that and next step was putting on the tensioner and getting that working. I undid the tensioner and put it back together properly as it was rubbing right against the metal and was hard to turn, so i got it working correctly and put grease between the wheel and the metal so it spins better. I pushed the bike and made sure the chain ran well and it went perfect.
After that i put the cover back on, and i still have to hook up the clutch cable well. I have to install the chain guard as well which looks pretty easy and then get some synthetic two stroke motorcycle oil and add it too the fuel. I also gotta locktite all the nuts and make sure everything is tight before the first run. Ill first get it going and idle it for 3 mins or so to see if anything happens.Ill be riding by tomorrow and take a few pics for u guys.
Well that's a bit of a read and no im not editing it! Well that's my whole build so far. Hope she runs well tomorrow, i haven't rushed anything, its taken 2 days so far so ive done everything properly. No ghetto things on this bike guys!
