What is the #1 killer of these HT engines at high RPMs? No not lack of oil. The answer is heat.
Now since our motors are mounted close to the center of the frame the arrow dynamics of the front forks and front down tube hinders air flow. The tubes split the air mainly only cooling the outside left and right portions of the motor. This is the exact problem I'm gonna attempt to improve by capturing air outside of the arrow dynamics of the bike and then directing to the head of the motor. This will allow constant cool air to be concentrated over a small area. That air flow will be continuous as the bike moves. So I'm going to use the gas tank I originally bout for board tracker 2. I'm gonna cut off the left and right side of the tank to create 2 air scoops that will join together at the head. Those scoops will Chanel the air then disperse it right over the head. If I'm correct on my logic this should cool the motor 10 times as good as a regular air cooled motor. This is what I got so far.
