So, My Sky Hawk 80/66cc came in Friday that I order from BikeBerry, nice looking kit, fast delivery, no complaints. Instructions were so-so for someone with no experience, but I did plenty of reading here to get me through the tough areas. Got this Mongoose Revolution off craigslist for $100, seems to fit the bill just fine, my only complaint is that the seat height cannot be lowered any because of the built in seat post shock, no biggie.
The build started it out pretty easy, the rear drive sprocket was practically the same diameter of the rear hub, so truing that up was a cinch, mounting the enginewas a different story, I really scratched up my frame putting it in, and it took me awhile to figure out the best way to mount it, ended up going with the front extension metal plate that uses the U-bolts. seems to work OK.
After the engine was mounted it was smooth sailing. Well, til my first ride, it kept throwing the chain, After spending forever messing with the tensioner, it ended up being the rear sprocket just needed to be flipped to the dish out side. Works great now, I road it for about 2-3 hours today breaking it in. Good times!
Few questions for you pro's,
- Should I be able to get it to Idle with this rich oil mixture whilst breaking it in?
- I used a synthetic blend mix for my break in 1st tank, will this hurt it?
- How the heck do you guys conceal all the wires going all over heck? I zip tied them all the best I could but it still looks like a knotted up ball of yarn!
Thanks!!
