try a different flywheel

thanks for the info.

let us know what happens

My Yamaha G1 two stoke golf cart motor runs in reverse and forward, that's how they back up you have to post the video, it will be the coolest video if you can drive backwards at all B-)

No, no video . i'm doing a AF16 motor swap . you can see some of the photos under (first spree AF16 motor swap) .
a video would have been funny , but how would you drive backward ? I tried. its very hard to look back and balance yourself at the same time.
it's like taking your spree on a hill and rolling backwards. how far would you get? don't do it too risky. your just asking for pain. and some missing teeth .
.

spreeinkc was right. think the timing is off. no matter now I did the AF16 motor swap.

I painted the frame, body twice, wheels, change the shock mount, rear tail light, the wire connections, longer brake cable, kickstand, grease the forks and wheels, you should know the fork bearings are lose. and motor work.

It's possible to ride backwards but not very easy. This isn't quite the same thing but he is riding backwards... lol

This was at the annual ROC (ride of the century) held in St. Louis. Largest sportbike meet in the Midwest by far. Several thousand bikes each year. HiPo have tried to stop them a few times but don't even come close.

hello spree owners . yes I posted the spree runs backwards help post. unfortunately I pull the motor off and did the AF16 motor swap. before it took any video of the motor running backwards. its impossible to drive it. I came to find out that the timing is off. and It will only start and run backwards with a drill.
what I will have to do is swap the motor back and take the video. I hate to do all that work again and then swap it back to the dio motor. just to make the video. I still have the motor when I get a chance and have time I will swap it and post the video for everyone to enjoy.

hi spreeinkc, I have see that before. what if the motorcycle was facing the other way and you had to steer from the rear?
that would be epic.
