Finally got my 100cc (79cc) Predator clone kit done! Put on 35 miles over the last few weeks. Got it to 45mph (still has governor). Rides smooth, reliable, sounds good! Sounds like a little 4-stroke pit bike. Had to buy a replacement carb and install new clutch, and adjust valve lash. Pretty happy with it now. Gets lots of attention, especially pulling up to the gas station and pumping gas right into it! Appreciate everyone who helped with good advice.
Finally got it dialed-in
- Thread starter 100cc Chinese
- Start date
Looking good but...
I think it needs a 1 gal tank to make that bike look right , and It'll go farther
And fill up a 5 gal gas jug and keep it at your house so ya only gotta go to the gas station about every 300 miles or so
5 gal gas jug only holds 4 1/2 gal but it's easier to pour with 4 gal, so 4 gal = 300 miles, but probably more

Yeah, good call on the 1 gallon tank. That would look better. Any suggestions on best place for one? Got lots of non-eth gas at home for the motorcycles. Kinda like pulling up to the gas station though.

Motor vibration will crack the fenders. I'm speaking from experience. Thankfully it was just the rear fender.
Ill admit I was warned...
Just to start off with, fenders look sick, but they come at a price. I love the look of fenders on a bike, and I would love to keep them, but I should have taken the 5 or 10 minutes to reinforce mine. My bike is an older Huffy Newport. It's an amazing frame, and it has fenders. I was headed...

You have to upload it to a different sight (for example youtube or Rumble) and post a link. This is to help prevent spam.
And lets not forget what happened to this guys poor son in law when his fenders cracked and fell into the wheel.
Safety - Beware the fenders!!!
Don't take the warning lightly!!!!!! My son in law is in the hospital in critical condition cause of the fender getting into the tire and rolling around till it locked the front wheel and threw him over the bars. Of course he wasn't wearing a helmet:helmet: This just happened Wednesday. Here's...
