**** this ****ing dumb ****ing motored ****ing bike ****.

[Hajuu]

After.. about 3 months of doing my build, i've had so many ****ing issues, spent so much money aside from just my time.. And I still dont even have a bike thats even moderately close to being ridable for any period other than a few minutes here and there..

Current issues that are STILL THERE are:
1. The master link clip issue. So far im on my second chain after about 4 rides.. And once again trying to install the master link after taking the chain off to replace the tube, the clips just wont go on.. Tried reversing the chain, squeezing the links hard, filing down the chain on all 4 sides where the link connects... Nothing will get the pins sticking far enough out to use the clip, the exact same issue I had with my first chain. Everything is lined up perfectly, the chain looks as new and clearly lines up as perfectly as possible (the two end links)... No ****ing idea but its so infuriating.

2. Once again for some unknown reason I have absolutely zero acceleration response. I posted this question before but didn't really receive any constructive advice except to check the throttle cable, which is exactly how it has always been.

I at this point have zero doubt in my mind that this will be far from the last thing to go wrong with this kit.

But im far from being a quitter...........

Hajuu.

Dont give up,you'll get it sooner or later.

You received useful advice, then said it was running OK and stopped responding to the thread.
My advice - get someone who knows what they're doing to look at it.

Update - the original thread on the throttle/carb problem is continuing here.

Regarding the master link, have you tried a different one and if so, have you tried putting it on when the chain is not on the bike?
A photo would help.

Hajuu, please take this as constructive criticism, but also as a method for newcomers to get rolling. (We had the same thing in rackmounts early on, and now it has really settled down.)

But you started 9 threads in this 2 cycle category, and it is hard/impossible to follow along, it jumps all over the place...photos and such.

One bike is best addressed by one looooong thread, especially when the type of engine is highlighted in the title.

Then you get a few mentors with the identical setup to guide you along the way. The forum operates 24/7, so you would get advise from every time zone.

Some bike builds are 50 replies deep with hundreds of views, new attachments continuously added.

And it makes for smoother MB.assisting.

if i was still admin'ing, i'd quote bama's post and close this down...

that's not personal Hajuu but it would appear that way i know, everyone always took it personal. forums are great tools but must be properly used, multiple posts about the same bike and subject lines like this one are counterproductive to your goal of getting that thing running right...man, settle down, and give folks time to respond, and carefully gauge those responses before you make a move. this isn't a service site but peeps sharing of their own free will, learn a bit about how to use a forum & let the place do it's job

3 months of advice on probably 15 different things in 1 thread?

Sounds like a terrible way to get anything done...

Anyway, it's nothing to do with you guys, wouldn't have even gotten this far without any of you, just very annoyed at the ongoing progress..

@ Give me vtec: I don't see why there would be anything with the carb though hey, like it starts and clearly draws fuel and burns it, its just the throttle that is having no response. Unless its an adjustment or blockage of some kind.. My local parts dealer didnt have any new carbs for my model engine (im in australia).

As for the chain issue I really really like having a master link because its so unreliable.. if it breaks down all I need is my sprocket spanner tool thing to take the chain off and im cruising bike style rather than having a possibly locked bike wheel and somehow having to get it home with no car. Besides that it really seems like an impossible problem to me, as everything looks kosher with both ends of the chain, which is very clean and brand new practically on both counts..

@ Aussie Steve: It seems entirely likely to me to be something to do with the clutch since, as I said before, I handmade my new bucking bar, so it might be too long? I did notice that as before with the stock bar it worked perfectly with the handle-clip for the clutch (for take offs), but now the clutch is only functioning fully pulled in. I figured it was just a minor adjustment problem. It may well have felt a bit stiffer than usual even with the clutch pulled entirely in, but its hard to say for sure.

Sorry, I do not see vtec's post. That is a reason why it is best to keep things to one thread.
Pics of the chain problem would be a great help in soving your problem. A chain break tool might be better for you if you continue to have prolems. they are small enough to carry with you nect to your sprocket spanner tool thing. A little more time consuming but it might be less irritating.
As well as pics of the carb (Where the needle and clip is on the throttle cable.) You might also want to check fuel flow....if you have an inline filter, throw away the intank filter.
Last piece of advise...Patience, this is a hobby to most and working on it to get it running is half the fun.

it isn't. once you get the single "project" topic rolling, people come back in (or subscribe) to see how you're doing or what you're up to...and everyone new who comes along can watch and maybe learn and maybe ask you questions someday...give them a link to your bike-thread and now you're pitching in too. or, you can just come in stomp around yell for help fix your bike move on cya later...you wouldn't be the first...either way it's still faster for you to use one specific topic with your whole project. we wouldn't be sayin' so just to be sayin' it yaknow

Thanks for clearing that up.
