Section 1: Installing Sprocket on a Freewheel

STEP 3.

This is the sprocket adaptor. It comes with six Allen bolts and nine 10mm bolts.

Remove the rear wheel from your bike.

STEP 4.

Place the sprocket adaptor on the wheel hub.

Holding the adaptor in place use a 7/16“ drill bit drill a hole in the wheel hub at one of the six non threaded holes.

Place an Allen bolt through the hole and secure it in place with a nut and locking washer.

Then drill the remaining 5 holes. Secure the adaptor with the 5 remaining Allen bolts nuts and locking washers.

STEP 7:

Place the wheel back on the rear of your bike and reattach the pedal chain.

Lift the rear wheel off the ground by pressing down on the front wheel. Crank the pedals a few times to give the rear wheel a spin to see that it is spinning true.

Get ready to install the motor.

Section 2: Installing the motor

STEP 8.

To install the motor we will be using the Livefastmotors motor mount designed specifically for this bike.

It comes with three U shaped bolts and protective sleeves, nuts and washers, two long and two short motor mounting bolts and a strip of rubber to protect the paint.

STEP 9.

To remove the old studs we will use the two nut method. Put two nuts onto the stud and tighten them together. Next put your wrench on the nut closest to the motor then with gentle force loosen and remove.

Repeat this process with the remaining three motor mount studs.

STEP 10.

Place the motor mount on the bottom of the motor then the original motor mounts (as spacers). The two short bolts are for the front and the two long bolts in the back. Be sure to utilize the locking washers included with the motor. Tighten all bolts securely.

STEP 11.

Slide the protective sleeves over the three U bolts.

Next place the motor on the frame and secure using the three U bolts. The square bolts on the bottom and the round bolt in the front. Use the locking washers and the nuts. Hand tighten or snug down with a 14mm wrench.

Don‘t forget the strip of rubber to go between the mount and the bike frame.

Section 3: Installing the Clutch Lever and Clutch Cable

STEP 19.

Place the tip of needle nose pliers into the motor sprocket teeth and turn. This will move the sprocket and cylinder, the spark plug MUST be removed to eliminate the compression in the cylinder head.

Section 4: Installing the chain and chain tensioner

STEP 20.

Remove the master link the from chain and set it aside until the chain is the proper length.

You will need to add some links to the chain on this installation. If you purchased your motor kit from Livefastmotors the extra chain is provided free of charge upon request.

STEP 21. It‘s almost impossible to know how many links to add depending on which sprocket you‘ve chosen and the length of your pedal chain so lets start by combining two full chains.

Join your two chains together by removing one end link and splicing the two chains together so you have one long chain.

You can use both master links to join the chains but we prefer to splice them with a regular link as shown

For the Schwinn chopper you will need to replace the tensioners factory bolts. We used 1/4 inch bolts two inches long.

The tensioner doesn‘t come painted black.

STEP 26.

Using a punch, remove the unwanted links and reinstall the chain.

Place the master link into the chain.

STEP 27.

The chain and tensioner sould now look like this.

Remove the pulley shaft and add a little grease and replace the shaft back into the pulley.

Section 5: Notching the rear fender

Section 6: Installing the Carburetor and Throttle

STEP 40.

Drill a 1/4 inch hole in the handle. The nipple in the twist grip will slide into this hole.

Remember to punch The mark so your Drill doesn‘t drift.

STEP 41.

Slide the end of the throttle cable into the large hole on the bottom half of the twist grip piece.

Place on a hard surface and with gentle pressure, push the large cable guide into the hole. Be sure to push it all the way into the hole.

Section 7: Installing Ignition Box and Gas Tank

STEP 45. Push the spark plug cap all the way onto the spark plug until you feel the threads on the spark plug vibrate into place. Attach the ignition box to the frame, we‘re using plastic zip ties, one through the two bolt holes and one above that and one below that for a total of three ties. We recommend if you use this method use quality heavy duty zip ties. They work very well. Connect the black wire from the ignition box to the black wire from the motor, and then the blue wire to the blue wire.

STEP 46.

If you‘re using the gas tank that came with your kit use a wire brush on the tank bolts to clean the excess coating so the nuts go on easily.

We will be using the Chrome tank.

Section 8: Installing the Chain Guard and Exhaust

With this exhaust a slight bow in the exhaust pipe is sometimes needed to help with pedal clearance. To achieve this place your exhaust on a table with a block of wood under each end. Clamp a third block of wood centered on the top side of the pipe and tighten the clamp until the desired bow is achieved.

Accessory kit Installation Instructions

Congratulations on choosing your new Livefastmotors motorbike kit accessory package. We offer these instructions to guide you through the installation. Please read through the instructions before beginning your installation. Happy motoring!

Accessory Kit Installation

Step 1.

Mounting the Headlight

The headlight bracket included in your kit is mountable on the front fork of the average bike. You can mount it above or below the wheel line. Be sure to give yourself room for the spokes.

Shown here installed below the wheel line.

We recommend an alternative method on the OCC Schwinn chopper.

Step 14.

Programming the Computer

Press and hold the button on the front for 3 seconds; then let the button up.

Choose between —kph“ or —mph“ by pressing the button. The display will change each time the button is pressed. When your choice shows on the display, press and hold the button for three seconds and release. Now you must calibrate the wheel.

Wheel Calibration Table

Wheel Diameter in Inches: 16“ 18“ 20“ 22“ 24“ 26“ 28“ 28 x 1 ²“

Wheel Circumference: 128 144 160 176 192 208 224 228

Step 15.

Now your display screen will show three zeros.

Choose your wheel size from the calibration table above. The corresponding wheel circumference number directly below it is the number you will select.

Begin pressing the button -the numbers will Increase in increments of one.

After the tenth time the button is pressed, the numbers will begin to change rapidly.

Press the button to stop. Try to stop it just before the calibration number you are using. If you‘re setting it for a 26“ wheel, stop at 200 and move to 208 one number at a time. Once you have reached 208, press and hold the button for three seconds and the computer is set and calibrated.

If you pass your target number, simply start over.

Once setup is completed you can change between the functions by pressing the button once for each function.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Obey all traffic regulations.

2. Do not operate bike without the chain guard installed.

3. Always wear a helmet and eye protection when riding.

4. Do not wear loose fitting pants or skirt when riding, as loose fabric can catch in the drive chain and cause an accident.

5. Remember that you are riding a small, motorized vehicle and other traffic may not be able to see you. Wear bright colors on your shirt and helmet.

6. Never ride at night without proper headlight, taillight, and reflectors. Be sure to wear reflective clothing when riding at night.

7. Never ride on pedestrian throughways or sidewalks, especially with the engine running.

8. Never operate your MOTOcycle in an unsafe manner.

9. Wear riding gloves to prevent injury to hands during an accident.

10.Check local and state laws before riding your MOTOcycle on the street. 11.WARNING“ ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHILE RIDING!!

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

STARTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix 6 oz. of 2-stoke oil (16 : 1 ration) to 1 gallon of fuel in separate container. Shake well to mix and fill the gas tank (1/2 gallon capacity). Do not overfill. Remember to put the fuel cap back on.

2. Open the fuel valve. Small lever pointed down with fuel line is in the open position.

3. Depress the small, round cap plunger (tickle button) to prime the carburetor. It is located on the left side of the carburetor next to the idle adjust screw. One or two times should be enough.

4. Lift the choke lever to the —up“ position. It is the small lever on the right side of the carburetor.

5. Pull the handlebar clutch lever inward, to disengage the engine from the rear wheel.

6. Start to pedal œ downhill if possible for the first start.

7. Let out the clutch lever all the way and continue to pedal. The result is a direct engine hook up with the rear wheel via the chain and sprocket, and the engine will now turn over (start spinning). Pedal until the motor starts. Accelerate slowly at first.

8. Twist the throttle to increase speed, reverse twist the throttle to decrease speed. To stop, disengage the clutch and apply the brakes. To accelerate, pedal and release clutch while opening the throttle.

9. Adjust the choke to the smoothest engine running position.

10. After warming up the engine, push the choke lever all the way down. If the engine races too fast or too slow, pull the clutch lever and lock in the notched catch. Stop and adjust the engine rpm.

11. If the rpm needs adjusting, turn the idle adjust screw (left side of carburetor) in or out slowly, to obtain the proper idle speed of about 1400 rpm =/- 100 rpm. To correctly break in the engine, do not exceed 20 mph or 30 minutes of continuous running time for the first 50 miles.

12. To stop the engine, push the Kill Switch and turn off the gas valve at the tank. Turning off the gas will prevent fuel from being siphoned from the tank. Warning note: Never leave the fuel-tank gas valve in the open position when the engine is not running or when the bike is in storage.

13. After and before each ride, check all of the mounting fasteners, including the axle and brakes.

14. After using the first gallon of gasoline, the next fuel mix can be at 32:1 gas to oil ratio. Use a high-grade, synthetic 2-cycle motorcycle oil. This can be purchased at most motorcycle shops or lawn and garden shops. After the engine is well broken in (after several hundred miles), a gas-to-oil ration of 50:1 can be achieved using a high-grade synthetic oil similar to that used in chain saws. Warning note: Engine lockup or piston seizure due to improper gas/oil mixture will not be covered by your engine‘s factory warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to make sure the gas and oil are mixed correctly.

Note: I used non-synthetic oil during my first gallon mix at break-in to promote break-in wear. Then in the later mixtures, I used synthetic oil only for clean burn, low wear, and long engine life.
