RM85 Derbi Dirt Ped Start 5

I got a Suzuki RM85 rolling chassis and a Derbi Start 5 engine.
I wasn't originally going to motor swap it, but then I had a spare Derbi engine that looked like it would fit in well. 



I cut some custom engine mount plates and got to work. originally I was going to use a flat reed, but then a start 5 fell into my lap. I made the mount go thru the swingarm mount so that way it would stay aligned. Aligning everything was difficult, but I got it pretty straight. After removing all the material of the frame I needed to add some new down tube supports. 





I used tubing in my vice and a big tube over it and bent it slowly one cm at a time. 






 After I got everything welded up, I sanded it, primed it, and painted it with a 2 part urethane paint. After paint, I then started cleaning up all the parts and putting it back together. 


 I got this awesome pipe... But it doesn't fit so I guess I gotta hack it up.
I also picked up new plastics and took a test photo before I got eh frame painted.

I found a whole bunch of beans on the side of the road

 I am trading beans for custom intake welding

XR200Rs have intake boots that are no longer made and often tear so I am forced to make something custom. I make a plate and adaptor that I will connect with a hose. Tyler tig welded them together for me.

Spark Plug Side Gapping

 

 Is this video I am side gapping some plugs. This does A LOT for the performance of the engine.
The increased electrode exposure guides the angle of the flame front down towards the center of the combustion chamber promoting a faster, more complete and even burn thus increase power, performance and fuel mileage as well as reducing plug fouling.

Lateral gas porting

I learned this technique from Matt Kneen. He was building racing snowmobiles and we used it on mopeds and saw noticeable gains with a high comp head, and high timing.

Sorting Wheels and making a new rack

 I am going thru my garage and trying to insulate it before it gets too cold. I have been pulling things off the walls, insulating, and putting them back. 


My wheel are was a total disaster. I pulled the wheels down, lowered the shelf so I could put more on the shelf, and then put the wheels back at a higher height. 






The new rack holds 10 rims. . . but I currently have 17. So I am going to go thru them and and choose the ones I want to keep and sell the rest. 

I also made a little video about the rack.

KTM Freeride Electric!

 I picked up an electric KTM Freeride E-XC. I have wanted something electric for a long time and this one kind of fell into my lap. It is such a comfortable ride with all the dirt bike features and a electric powertrain. 

I have been riding it everywhere and making lots of little videos about it!

How to time an HPI CDI ignition

 I made this video about HPIs. I hope it can help someone. People seem to have an issue with the fact that the flywheel doesn't have a woodruff key. Its a really simple system once you understand it.
