I am in the process of making a custom Yamaha TY80 street legal. It has passed the state trooper inspection and the next step is to get a title and plates. I live in Colorado and getting an off highway dirt bike title only requires DOT tires, headlight, tail light, brake light and horn. No turn signals required.

I saw a video where a guy got his bike registered in Michigan I think. He put a horn, lights, indicators and such on there and got a tag for it. I'm going to try in Maryland. I might have luck registering it as a low speed motorcycle, I have a larger bike. Mini bikes are banned in my city but it's a commonly ignored law because we have such a big dirtbike issue and police have been restricted from chasing people on bikes...So you'll see several dirtbikes, if not a whole platoon of them riding down the street and wheelieing, sometimes mopeds/scooters and rarely an ATV. I think at least making it look/function street legal will save a lot of hassle because I'd be one of few actually with a helmet and mirrors and lights.

I had my baja doodlebug and warrior inspected and both passed by indiana police. If your mini bike has a vin # on it like mine, its an easy process. It's a "moped"... Registered and plated in my sisters name because she lives right over the border in Indiana. I live in Illinois with our parents and she leaves it at the house so I ride it around in Illinois since I can't legally register them as a moped here. Since it has plates on it and is registered, home state vehicle laws follow you when you travel so I'm legal.

what if you turned the mini bike into a functional bicycle first. Swapping out those fat mini bike tires for those old style petaled moped wheels you see on those 1980"s 50cc mopeds. Basically taking the mini bike frame turn it into a bicycle, then add a motor kit to make it a moped. Wouldnt it then be considered a moped or motorized bycycle? The key being..making it look like a mountain bike first. I dont know, it was just an idea.😃

Get a carb with a Venturi that is 2-3mm smaller than the intake valve diameter. And slide carb will work. Tune idle first, then midrange, then main jet. 2 strokes are typically jetted a bit more rich than the unmixed gas. Carb will work but jetting you gotta figure out.

hey grant it look like you installed the stock valve springs when you put it back together. also you could of just use 18 pound springs for the 245 cam. if indeed they are still stock springs you are running? be cautious if you ever get that motor to rev high and what I mean high is around 6000 rpm's. valves will float,but I see you still have the stock gearing and that would take some amount of distance to make that engine rev very high. also most ohh heads have a off set spring seat on the intake and you have to make a spacer to get the correct valve height. there's tons of mod's a guy can do to this little engine. one thing I do highly recommend is a Tecumseh hot coil that will advance the motor from 20 degrees to 30. I do have a extra one I would sell you one if interested. here is some info I have put out there on ohh motor. i'm sure you have seen it ? www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/tecumseh-ohh-build.131688/ also my drag bike for racing on a clay surface (125ft drags) old motor from 2017 turn 8000 rpm's at 125ft and yes it was beating up 212 predators. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tptjmnyhhIeFgXo

thats some good stuff there. I installed stock springs for cam break in keeping it under 2k rpm, then put in the animal.

Youve got one bad little motor right there haha sounds wicked. I dont think I will do a lot more to this engine as it is aluminum bore, and no ball bearings on the crank or cam.
@468delray

@@KartFab ok grant,if you ever want to step that engine up just little more and none of this mods will hurt that aluminum bore/bushing bearing motor and cast iron flywheel. I would think about making a short runner intake and bolting on one of these mikuni/clone carb's that you can change jetting/pilots all with real mikuni parts.for example one I found on ebay(this style carb) www.ebay.com/itm/Mikuni-22mm-26mm-Carburetor-For-Pit-Dirt-Trail-Bike-Go-Kart-ATV-Quad-110cc-125cc/132902197949?hash=item1ef1969abd:g:qWIAAOSw7R9cJo2q and make sure the head is ported good . you only really need to clean up the bowl's into the start of the runners. don't need to touch the runners them self and mill off .040-.045 off the head and you can still run the stock push rods....all day. . but of course you would have make sure your timing is advance correct to maximize best performance out of that little guy. maybe think about runner a oil with zinc in it too or a zinc additive.
