I just finished building my 80cc Gary Fisher.
I have had the bike break on me 3 times now. Once I lost the tensioner pulley.
THEN I had a bike sop rig up a tensioner pulley....
Next my chain broke, while using the make shift pulley.
Then I got a better tensioner pulley and things seemed to work better.
The other night I was riding and suddenly the baffle shot out of the muffler... the engine started roaring like a monster. I screwed the baffle back in.
TODAY was the first time my bike has not broken on me... I am almost scared to push the thing hard because I am afraid I will hear a loud pop or something will break again. Hopefully I have everything installed better now and that won't happen.
I love riding the thing... I love the looks I get from people... several people have stopped to ask me about it too.
I will love it even more when the engine is fully broken in and I can really open it up AND I feel confident parts are not going to break.
(To the kit's defense.... I did not have the pulley on correctly when it flew off and I think the chain broke because of the bike shop's pulley. At first I was running it with the sprocket WAY off true and the clutch was slipping. Now it is all fixed. I CAN say that the muffler was nothing of my doing.)
