First off, hi. I’m a noob. This is my first build like this. I’ve worked on Chinese scooters, Chinese engine kits, mopeds and an old Sears 50cc motorcycle. I had an idea after being constantly annoyed by my latest motorized bicycle build - I saw some kid was selling an old Kawasaki frame with a Subaru ex21 efi engine and I figured I’d take it off his hands. 200 bucks later I had it in my garage.
It’s not a mini bike but more like a motorcycle I won’t have to shift.
I’m not done with the project yet and I was wondering what kind of speed I can expect. Some have told me it won’t go over 30. When my fat tucchas gets on it I’m afraid it will crawl.
Should I sell the Subaru and get a predator? Can I get by with the Subaru? Are there crossover parts between the 2? I have a torque converter for it and I’ve removed the governor (super easy on the ex21...took me maybe 5 minutes to remove the gear). I heard the ex21 could implode on itself if I push it too hard.
Lots of annoying noob questions, I know. I apologize in advance if these have been discussed before.
Anyhoo, I’m looking forward to get this project up and moving.
