Stop/Start button

Hey guys,

is it possible to install a stop/start switch onto a motorised bike, i mean i dont even care if its just a start butoon, i just want to be a ble to turn it on easily,

any help appreciated,

thanks guys
How old are you?
Do you drive a car?
When you say motorised bike do you mean a 66cc / 80 Chinese 2 stroke?

Do you ride one of these motorised bikes?
What is your problem with pedaling then dropping the clutch to start?

A pull start is available but adds a lot to the width of the motor.

They have stop buttons, that would be the kill switch.

hi bro,

lol if you really want to know, im 15, and yes i have a chonese 80cc, why does everyone call them 66/80????

anyway, how would i go about installing the pull cord, ive seen them on ebay, but what exactly do i do???

as for the button i was thinking more along the lines of a motorbike where you hold down a button and it starts turning the engine


Also on another note, whats the correct way to install the chinese kits, some have a chain attached to back wheel, others have a chain attached to pedals, what is best ???????

anyway thanks for your help,

Will
 
They call them 66/80 because they are really 66cc (some are 68). The Chinese call them 80cc because they measure the combustion chamber, but that is not the correct way to measure displacement. Displacement is what you call the size of the cylinder, normally measured in cubic centimeters for small engines and liters for bigger engines like cars and trucks. So the actual displacement of your engine is 66cc, or cubic centimeters. Now as far as starting with the push of a button, that would be what's known as electric start. At least one person claims to have built an electric start for the Chinese two strokes, but he never shared how he did it and he hasn't been around the forums for a long time. Honestly though, if you're 15 and already too lazy to pedal a bike to start the engine, you're going to have problems in life. The pull starts they sell for these engines are junk and break very easily. If you really want to install one, you will need a wider pedal crank. A lot of vendors sell them and they're not hard to find. But the 4 stroke kits come with a pullstart that isn't junk like the 2 stroke ones are. You will still need a wider pedal crank to use a 4 stroke. Now as far as the bikes with the chain going to the pedals, they have something called a shift kit installed. The shift kit adds a jackshaft to the bike, which allows the engine to use the bikes gears as a transmission, thus giving the rider more than one speed for motoring. As far as which is better, everyone has their own opinions. Some love the shift kits, others feel they require too much maintenance.

thanks bro, thats really hellpful,

its not that im too lazy to pedal, its that i like having it as close to a motorbike as possible seeing as im not allowed one.

i cant afford a 4 stroke, and anyway, i only just bought my 2 stroke haha
 
Actually the old style motorbikes were just like that, pedal and dump the clutch. It is a "real" motorbike.

If you can't afford stuff then an electric start would be in that list of unaffordable and very expensive wants. ;)

It's possible but would require a lot of mechanical ability or the money to pay a machinist to build for you.

yeah, ive been looking it up, im just gonna wait till im older and got a job, then ill get me a nice bike like a kawasaki ninja or something similar ;)
 
actually unrelated but i got a couple more questions, what oil should i use, stuff for 2 stroke scooters or just motoculture oil (dont know name in english, just general things like hedge trimmers, chainsaws, strimmers, etc) and is it possible to get a analog speedometer and counter, and what amount of tme should i use the 16:1 burn in ratio beofre going to 25:1?

thanks guys, youre so hepful, i really appreciate you taking time to answer my questions!!!
