Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
Well I will try to keep everyone updated on the bike at least. It'll be in the small corner of my garage so I can still work on it.

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
I highly recommend getting the engine evaluated, carbs cleaned, and get it running. You can do this in your living room. Its OK. And remember that divorce is something that "real rodeo cart'ers" must deal with. Avoid open fires while doing the carbs in your living room. Kitchen is cool too.
Now. We have a plan. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
Let me know of electrical puzzlements. I'm somewhat into scoot wiring things. And gremlins.

Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
Throwing around the idea of doing Independent rear suspension, with a shorter rear shaft with universal joints on each end, axles down to more unis, to finally the hubs. Anyone know of a better way to do it or if a solid axle would be a better idea? I feel like a solid axle would be sturdier at higher speeds, but other than that, I can't think of much more upside. Thoughts?

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
Are you going to mount the engine sideways? Or are you talking "jackshaft"?

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
I think I see what you are describing. That is going to get REAL complicated. But, you could fab around some ATV rear knuckles and work from there. Saw off and fab on your cart, the rear of an independent ATV, use the axles (modified to fit your center) and have at it. Independent will add a bit of height to the finished product. And a lot of complexity. The ATV rear section would offer a correctly located platform into which you could mount your center brakes and sprocket shaft. I'm envisioning the completed project....$$$
Sand buggy racers and chinee 4 wheel sport vehicles (similar to an Odyssey) have these setups. I think mounting the engine sideways and using a KLF 300 2WD rear axle would be easier. Short driveshaft. And you would have "differential' or "locked" mode. Driveshaft adapter can be made up with a sprocket. Think Legends Car racers with Yamaha 1100 engines. Keep in mind that independent suspension is weight sensitive on lightweight vehicles. You'll be tilted sideways when weighted in one side. Unless you use a sway bar?? A strong sway bar Tapatalk |

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
With mounting the engine sideways, are you saying to more or less create a shaft driven rig as opposed to chain driven?

Re: Yamaha G2 Vs. Ninja 750 Motor
Yes. The engine sprocket would become the driveshaft flange. That allows use of many ATV rear axle setups.
