It runs. After a year building the machine it fired up today.
Never had something like a 500 motor.
And d**n,it's realy a beast.. :-o
Few things to take care of. The plating makes so much noise do to the vibrations i can't hear the engine.
The stroke of the trotle (pedal) is to small. Makes it very nerves to ride with..

That would be nice indeed.
But iam from Holland. The only thing i have is wet mud and gras,,

Nice beadlock rims!

Mowerman,
Glad to see it coming together for you finally! I am very curious on your pipe, it looks like you had to take out a good amount of the lead in pipe/header length & also on the outlet pipe length to make it fit. Do you know how much you had to take out? I will also assume this will rev unlike most big 500's.

I had to shorten the tailpipe.
And i did cut the exhaust in sections. On the welds..
Shifted/turned them aroud a bit to get i right. Not much,but just a bit.
I think it didn't efect the performance much.
It's a Pro Circuit platinum btw.

This is a prototype.
Just to get the hang of it.
Me and my "two stroke mentor" are working on a complete homebuild engine.
Wil be a 6 cylinder boxer two stroke.
Using 6 KX85 cylinders. Wil be 100cc each.
Hope to get 180 to 200hp. And than a snowmobile vario drive.
Got 4 cyliners and 5 cranks at the time. So 2 cylinders and 1 crank to go.
Than we wil start casting the engine cases..
I wil make a topic when there is something to show with pictures..
-
Wow what type of grass do you cut over there in Holland, No pun intended :-D
look forward to seeing the new project
-
:-D It's green grass..
-
Give me your adres en i wil ensure you there wil not be any gras left .. 8-)
Better yet, I'll give you my neighbors address :evil:

You Sir, are my new Hero!
-
By the way you need to post a vid off that thing running around a garden or field or somewhere that must be a lot of fun to drive
-
Fun to drive?
To be honest,it scares me a little haha.
But i wil make a video. Not spectacular because i have to break in the piston and cylinder. And on tarmac it's a bit tricky..
-
Thats just plain friggen cool man!
-
You Sir, are my new Hero!
Anyone who can Drag Race mopeds is my Hero! :-o
-
Haha,the mopeds.. Lots of fun..
Also working on a new engine for that.. No Kawasaki parts involved,but it's going to be fast....

Normally I would not condone chopping the heart out of a 5 for such use, but that is freakin sweet.(copywright, Peter Griffin, Family guy) Im thinkin wheelie bars might be a good idea.And some big ass brakes/parachute.And you might want to turn the gravity up, or you might be needin that chute for a different reason....... :evil:

A work of art my friend! that is awesome
