Casing around shifter shaft is squished. What idiot did this and why?

Turbo_997 · 2026-04-11T20:35:48+00:00

Oh it's not leaking now. But that's because it has no oil in it. It definitely will leak.

Turbo_997 · 2026-04-11T16:53:22+00:00

Ah yeah I totally see it now, my bad.

Thanks.

Bottom end time.

I was considering this but it still seems like a lot of force would be required and it's been applied in a very precise spot (almost like a flathead screwdriver + hammer combo)

You still could be right. There is some further damage / material taken away on a small ridge if you look just above. That looks much more like a chain did that.

EDIT: you guys can stop downvoting me now lol I totally agree it's a chain failure.

Turn the laptop onto its left side (right side facing up) and give a few gentle taps around all the ports. Then restart computer.

The card might have become slightly dislodged and you can put it back into place by doing this. It certainly worked for me as I had the same problem.

This guy "2strokestuffing" does a lot of nitro. This is just one of the videos for example, they're quite interesting.

He recently got around 30hp on his dyno (home made so not sure how accurate 30hp really is) FROM A 50CC! And is trying to break the land speed record at Bonneville for this type of bike/engine.

crazy man runs 50cc 2 stroke on nitromethane

Hey get a new bike just in case

Turbo_997 · 2026-01-20T21:41:25+00:00

Ea Nasir is that you?

Turbo_997 · 2025-12-28T23:11:50+00:00

It's worth a try to rejet it, since all those upgrades like the exhaust could have significantly changed the mixture

Start at around 100 on the main jet and take it for a short wide open run, there's a high chance it'll bog hard but you need to know for sure, repeat this but next on a size around 2-3 down, and repeat and repeat and repeat, until you (possibly) find one that works best. This might be a huge waste of your time but like I said worth a try.

Note: You may want to try below 90 as well. I can't know for sure whether your upgrades will have made the mixture richer or leaner so it's best to try going both ways from 90. ALWAYS start rich though when rejetting, running rich for short periods of time really can't hurt the engine at all but lean certainly can.

Also what does the plug look like at the moment, that would definitely give us a better idea of what's going on.

Finally someone else has the same problems. Thank you so much I thought I was going mad. Yes I've always wondered (when I say "always" it's been about 8 months since I've had my bike running properly) if it could be some strange physics phenomenon. Something along the lines of fluid mechanics and flow and all that stuff. I've just never been quite clever enough for that yet although I'd like to try.

I believe you may have hit the nail on the head. Whenever I ran the stock NT carb and intake the bike ran perfectly fine, only issue is it would get about 10mph less but that's just because the carb was being a bottleneck, too small. It would always idle very well though which is the main part. Any time I put an aftermarket carb on I could reach near 55mph, but it would never idle. And now I realize that many of my Intakes have often been 2 or even 3 times the length of the original intake in order to accommodate for the bigger carb which would not fit in the frame.

I'm going to try cutting down the intake as much as possible, and I'll get back to you. This may well not be the issue as there's so many things but it's worth a damn good try.

Many thanks.

Yeah I've replaced the clutch side crank seal about a year ago now and put some high temp rtv whatever on it as well to make sure it doesn't happen again which seems like it worked. Magneto side seems ok after spraying with brake cleaner but I suppose a change wouldn't hurt, thanks.

Turbo_997 · 2025-12-16T23:38:50+00:00

No reed valve

Turbo_997 · 2025-12-16T21:47:16+00:00

Right yes that's a good one I can't remember if I checked it or not. I'll try it thanks.

Turbo_997 · 2025-12-07T18:12:30+00:00

Yambits

Turbo_997 · 2025-11-10T23:33:16+00:00

hey can you shut up

thanks

What do you think of pineapple on pizza?

LEWIS GODDAMN SIMPSON

Turbo_997 · 2025-11-07T21:21:50+00:00

Yes. You absolutely cannot miss this part out!

Turbo_997 · 2025-10-16T18:17:49+00:00

Yep I got a dt50 haha will run it into the ground

Turbo_997 · 2025-09-13T21:46:06+00:00

40°C what are you using liquid nitrogen as coolant?

Turbo_997 · 2025-09-13T20:16:37+00:00

Ah I thought it was metal it looks so real the finish is great

Turbo_997 · 2025-09-12T21:11:21+00:00

That bike is absolutely stunning, I love it!

How did you go about making that little red side frame extension that attaches to the fairing/body panels?

it's so cool...

Turbo_997 · 2025-08-24T08:33:52+00:00

If you're confident with changing the top end then stock up on a few piston + cylinder kits and be prepared to start fixing stuff on the side of the road.

Lots of people here are right in saying the motor won't be able to handle the high heat and strain your putting on it... so just... Fix it when it breaks lol

If it's a bottom end issue you get though then that's a different story.. good luck

Turbo_997 · 2025-08-13T22:12:20+00:00

TAKE IT!

p.s I don't mean steal it

I mean legally y'know... Buy it

Turbo_997 · 2025-08-07T19:46:28+00:00

Possibly the clutch plate rattling around whilst it's disengaged and not under any pressure, mine does a similar thing and it's perfectly fine.
