X18 Drag Bike

[stuntnx7]

would be, i think its going to look like ass until i paint this whole bike


god dam why does it get more and more $$$




im gonna use half fairings on the x18 if i ever get one....on that note i found one for kinda cheap with a asking price of $250...no fairings tho

[Supercharged]

nah i dont think its needed really....i just hold onto mine if i ever loop it but im not really goin fast either when i loop...ive let the side case tap the ground 1 time but only put scratches on it....but yea if you could fabricate one that wouldnt break the motor mounts off or bend them then yea it would be cool


ps...a lil thing that helped me learn rear brake.... i would have the brake rubbing a little bit while moving really slow so i could bring it up to balance point quick and just put more pressure on the brake if i went behind BP....if you go slow its easier to jump off or catch the bike and less risks of gettn hurt....

another thing you can try is lowering the air pressure alot til you can squish the tire with you fingers a little

see why my videos sucked was because i wasnt going fast enough, my buddy said i was going way faster when we went riding with his z50

so i cant go slow, its balls the wall you knocrazy_smilie

you dont need to go fast to ride blox......im not sayin dont ever go fast but learn rear brake so you can ride at BP and do blox

i wish i had another bike i didnt give a shit about, not saying i dont care about mine but you know what i mean

dude just ride it....dont go over ur head and you'll be fine...i havnt wrecked mine and i wasnt no pro when i started....

[Supercharged]

you do 1st gear or 2nd, im geared out to pop the clutch for wheelies, those wheelies are in 2nd with the clutch

going to buy a clutch tool today, hopefully this oil pump doesnt take forever

something new bro?

[X7rocks]

yeah man just ride it.never once crashed one of my mids after owning it
...blitz..idk looks like he had bad luck =[

[Supercharged]

today is the exhaust mount ending, rene was right about the mount.

so heres the scoop, we took flat stock and lined it up with the swingarm bolt, drilled two holes. 1 for the swingarm bolt and 1 other for some rigidity. it will weld to the exhaust along with another mount.

pictures soon of how it functions, before my fairing mount was hard as hell to get the exhuast on functionally and off without scratching it

[Supercharged]

oh also i should add my head where bolts screw broke off completely. think about taking a screw and getting one sid tight and the other side you can stick your middle finger in the hole.

it broke on both sides, good thing we picked up some aluminum rods, ill do a sticky and how to on redoing head bolts

we goona have to melt the hole back up, tap it, thread it and shes good to go

wait maybe this gives me an excuse to buy a BVH

well since ive been around and seen how bad these bike can look, uhh yeah i disapoint myselfbanghead

[Supercharged]

how much exhaust to run the engine around the block without burning the valves...the x18 stock exhaust is 2 peices, a header then pipe to flange and muffler...i just have the header and no muffler.

i want to ride so bad, i just started up my bike.

i also had to check and see if it has gotten stolen yet:DI:

[Supercharged]

i just went for the first ride in forever, the spring holding the exhuast up did its job...i did a ghetto rig and now its pippity poppity, i started running out of gas near my house

i have to go to the gas station and get some gas to ride alittle

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

its not good, but if you have to ride it :dunno:
a drag pipe would only be slightly longer, if at all
bet it was loud

went riding and layed down the bike in the first corner i took, the rodes are wet but i choose the icee road and scraped my shifter pretty good, got some road rash but got back up and rode around for 5 minutes

adding on once again, another crash under my belt

[swheels]

She sounds mean and ran good too.thumbsup2

[Supercharged]

She sounds mean and ran good too.thumbsup2

she sounds like shit with the bootleg exhaust i have on now, its being held up by a spring and on top of that no muffler...oh well i guess its winter and i should wait for spring to have a ridable bike

[swheels]

Yeah why take the risk anyway.

heres the port matching work my buddy did, we are going to smooth it out tonightrock2

[X7rocks]

i can port it more for you send me a pm i have a few pics of a valve head head i ported up.

its already 27mm wide, it rediculous as it is....i really do appreciate you offering to help considering not alotta people can port and polish...hence me!

but i just wanna smooth it out and throw it on my x18:phat:

also i need to get a welder and weld me up an exhaust mount....i know rene has some good ideas for a mount so i still need to brainstorm that ideathinking_smilie

[X7rocks]

check out my valve head youll see how keeping some things at a large size but with a design can keep the velocity and still improve power thumbsup2

also you diggin my new avatar :D

haha yea nice pic, it was going to be ported bigger but he thought we should keep the cone effect to condense the air and fuel

heres a video, there will be another one but its been uploaded onto youtube

[Supercharged]

heres another video

YouTube - x18 porting matching

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

in the first vid, the 'ticking' is the valve lash
take off those two chrome caps and loosen the nut there
you need a feeler gauge, .005 intake, .007 exhaust

so there loose, thats a problem?

would that tick when its running, and is it a big deal

[Supercharged]

here in a minute my buddy is coming over to smooth this port job out.....imma take pictures after its done and post it

[rene13]

You were asking about mount ideas for the exhaust, right. I didn't do anything fancy. I just had a tab welded to the frame, used a flat piece of aluminum (came with my exhaust), and a metal band the is wrap around the exhaust with a hole in it.

Here you go, if you look when I get to the brake side you can see what I did.

and a few more

any suggestions on making a mirror finish or get it as smooth as possible?

this is perfect, that is a really good idea what you did...im going to have to followthumbsup2

feast your eyesstirthepot

my exhaust can is going to have those clamps on it, with 2 piece of flat stock

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

if the lash gap is too much it will tick, its not good but better than no gap at all
the gap allows for heat expansion of the valves, thats why the exhaust is more, it get hotter and expands more

thats crazy, i never thought about it like that...thinking_smilie

so how do i adjust it, im looking at my head right now

[The Nutty Professor]

Here's my almost finally step for a mirror finish. It close enough you can stop with this or go on and get it near perfect. I buy mine at Wal-Mart and they're not expensive at all. There are two grits get the one that fine. The other one takes out long scratches and the other polishes it right up.

sounds like a plan, i guess my intake is supposed to be really rough for atomization....the exhaust is the one that has to have a mirror finish.

imma have my buddy bring his dremel here and head up to wally world i hope, thanks for the heads up

[Supercharged]

i guess imma port and polish the exhaust also...20mm exhaust to a 27mm intake, i was hoping my drag exhaust would eliminate the need for porting

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

sup, to set valve lash, roll motor to TDC
take off those two caps on the head
loosen the nut you see, there is a threaded rod that goes through the middle
with a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the rocker and valve top
adjust the rod so the feeler goes in and out easy, lock it down with the nut
.005 intake
.007 exhaust

[Supercharged]

where do i buy a feeler gauge

would a true 26 be the way to go, or get a true 22 or 24

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

personally if i had your setup i would put my 26 taper bore on it
i like to try and keep the carb size close to the intake valve size, which for you, is 23mm
so id get a good 22 or 24
here is good and cheap

lol, not anymore...it got ported to 27mm

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well you can try a 26mm then, no larger and not the vm series tho
your valve is still only 23mm, so its gonna be like trying to get 50 people through a small door at once
unless you had some sort of forced induction......
so why dont you have a supercharger on your bike yet?
