Not even god could drive this....

Ok... so i picked up a go cart frame a little while ago. Im finaly getting around to planning this little Project. Im going to use a 4 cylinder motor from a street bike but im not sure what kind. Im leaning towards a gsxr but ill use anythign i can find cheap just in case this doesnt work out to well. I have lots of plans for it but ill get pics of the basic frame up soon. Any of you guys (yeah... the 3 that come in here) have an extra motor laying around u wanna sell?+

[Repo Man]

Sweet! I love sick go-karts. Post pics when you can. I'll keep an ear out for wrecked cycles.

[elwesso]

Golden.....

How about a SR20 or KA24 go kart...

Hell go big or go home, go VH

[Mr1der]

mwhahahha the dreaded Gixxer Cart!

[Rex]

Where's the vid of the NOS'ed go-ped?

Use his set-up, he beat a WS6.

[Mr1der]

I think the WS6 was playing along;)

pretty fast for a go ped though...

[MinisterofDOOM]

What you need is the V-6 from a Honda Valkyrie. It's small, and it will be easier to adapt to a go-kart than a car engine would. Or the new 572 cid Hemi crate motor. Makes over 1000 hp N/A. Stick that on your little kart. And make sure you bring a spatula.

[nab911]

Lol guys... im not going for crazy frame modification. It needs to be chain driven. It needs to fit in the space i have right now because if i have to extend the frame too much i might throw off the weight balance and if i get too much weight in the rear... the 140+ hp and the ~300 lbs might have a little problem keeping the front tires on the ground . So... if you guys can find me a good GSXR or 4 cyl bike motor with electronics (important) let me know!

[Mr1der]

why?

just get a carbed bike....most of them were carbed for a long time...

you could always make a V twin cart!

[Rex]

Check ebay, there was a Yamaha XJ650 motor (complete) on there last week. Something like that will cost you as much to ship as it will to win. Should be an easy 65-75hp.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Yeah, plus, bike carbs are cheap and easy to rebuild...I know, I've done a ton of them.

[MinisterofDOOM]

you know what...I think I am insane...I have posted this three times, but it only shows up after I post...all of them do. Then when I go to another forum and come back...they are all gone. So here it goes again...Yeah, get a carbed bike. Bike carbs are easy and cheap to repair.

[Bandit240]

ive got my old go-cart frame back. used to have a 5hp briggs on it running 100LL/Jet-A mix. It would run 50 easy but ended up blowing up. Now im looking for a 100cc 4stroke(probley from a Honda 100XR) dirtbike motor to use on it. Or maybe a 80cc 2stroke. Damn thing should be fun then

[Mr1der]

haha, I vote a 250 2 stroke.

I wanna see it pick the front end up

[MinisterofDOOM]

I have a 500 two stroke--in a bike. That thing is insane. So...much...power... I was trying to teach a friend of mine to ride on my smaller 250. He wanted the "big bike." You shoulda seen him on it. Funniest damn thing I have ever seen. Now he's afraid of it.

[Mr1der]

haha

good god a 2 stroke 500 must be snappy as hell...

my uncle used to have an old uh...I think it was a Yamaha 465 2 stroke...that thing would freakin' move.

[nab911]

Then that settles it.... i need a 500 2 stroke. Now, the debate, who do i want it from... yamaha, honda, suzuki?

[MinisterofDOOM]

I'd say Honda. My XR 500 has INSANE amounts of low end torque, and a good power/torque curve. I can be cruising at 35 in 3rd gear and effortlessly bring the front wheel up. Scary as hell....but fun! My 250 is a Yamaha and it has absolutely NO low end torque. But its a 250, and I'm not sure if that is true of their 500. The might only make a 650....not sure but I think they skip over 500.

---EDIT: I'm a dumbass. Mine 500's a 4-stroke. The 250 is a 2-stroke. That's why the 500 has such a good power curve. But then, with a 4-stroke, you don't have to mix the gas. Of course, on my Yamaha 250 you don't either--it mixes the oil and gas itself.

[Mr1der]

yeah most of the newer 2 stroke bikes do that...

usually the 2 stroke have a lot of lowend too though...

the 4 stroke would smell better while driving it however

[PantherRacer]

<_<>_>

BUMP!

lol

what ever happened to the go-kart?if u did it I hope you used a yamaha engine those and honda are the best

[Mr1der]

rofl...

he probably dropped the frame on his foot and got mad at it...

[JESTER]

Stop smoking crack. Suzuki is the only way to go. When ever you have a company that used it's 750 in the AMA for several years against the other guys liter bikes, and smoked them, you know you are getting the goods.

I will admit, that at least Honda unlike Yamaha and Kawasaki, at least have a couple good V-Twin sport bikes. I love V-Twins. Had the SV and TL-S. But I love to hear a Honda VTR1000. A good, agressive sounding bike. One thing about Suzuki, they never could get their V-Twin platform up to race standards. Beats the hell out of the Harley Davidson race bike, VR1000.

Okay, I think I got a little off track from go-karts.

[PantherRacer]

Suzuki has the best sportbike engines yes, but I was thinking about dirt bikes....my bad...Sportbikes-SuzukiDirtbikes-Yamaha, Honda come on now, you can't get much better than a yamaha 2 stroke, Their banshee atv? fastest acceleration man, that engines a MONSTER.Yeah, I'd throw THAT on a go-kart. watch me take off lol
