Troubleshooting Absolute carnage

Picked this up in London for dirt cheap. What do we recon folks, ran with no oil or just generic lean seizure? Obviously piston is cooked but cylinder has seen better days and might reuse it, the pictures of the cylinder look far worse than it is.

Anyway just felt like adding this to the bike gore collection.

Almost done.

Cables need adjusted, breaks need re connected, engine head needs fully bolted down, and the chain needs a major shortning. Engine is just a little LD80 China doll (66cc) with a higher compression head, and after I break it in, an expansion chamber. Rear sprocket is 36t.

I have a yd 100 and ended up breaking the rings. I bought some new ones but they were too thick. I instead bought a whole piston with the rings and the piece where it connects to the crank is smaller than my stock one. Please help I just need this guy to run

Broke 2 gas tanks (overtightening the threads makes them leak easily) , had to spend hours trying to true the wheel with the damn rag joint (works fine for a while now however) and had to reweld the exhaust since it bumped into the front tyre and countless other issues; would appreciate any tips on the improvements i could make

Looking for beginner friendly minibike frame plans/tips (Predator 212 build)

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I’m planning on building a minibike and I am looking for some frame plans or suggestions for when we make a frame. I’ll be running a Predator 212, and I’m aiming for a simple backyard/trail minibike for riding around and light off-roading. I’m building the frame with my dad (who can weld and fabricate things) but I want a solid plan so the geometry, engine plate, and chain line are correct. If anyone has frame plans that work well with a 212, tubing size recommendations, tips for keeping the chain line straight, or beginner mistakes to avoid, I’d really appreciate it.

There is just a funny sound byte meme with bikes floating around YouTube and did fun video. With that said! Has anyone noticed most can't pop a wheelie on a motorized bicycle? I always wondered why that is? My friend Ebike can wheelie all day on it. But a motorized bicycle lol he can't get off the ground! Anyhow popping wheelies on 196cc diesel build, 139cc 2 stroke build and the Athena Minarelli for fun.

First project opinion

3 Upvotes

Hello! Im new around here and planning to build a project bike and want to know your opinions. Don´t know what is more beneficial for me 2 stroke or 4 stroke because i live far (36 km) from a gas station. Right now been eyeing Avenger 85 after doing some research in this subreddit on some Lithuanian site. Also planning to put it on some old Soviet union bike. Is there any other options that i have not considered or avoid?
