I think it would throw rear sprocket and pulley out of alignment, not sure.

I thought that a cool little device. What do they use now?

I bet they have them on Ali Express.

@@bwxmoto I only use the two batteries. I’m going to get a third soon

@@artiep6358 That’s cool.

It was listed as 1000 watt, 1600 watt peak. It was from early 2023. It has plenty of power though. It seems more limited by batteries than anything else.

Yeah I get it. Mini bikes are so much easier and sometimes more fun to ride. Much less serious than a 270 lb bike! Pit bikes are fun too.

There’s a bearing in there but I had to stack some small washers because the stock washer was making contact with the outer bearing race causing drag and freezing up the pedal IIRC.

😆

Got it at gopwersports in 2017. Not sure if it's the same exact bend now though. www.gopowersports.com/header-pipe-coleman-200-mega-moto-212-w-gasket/ And an RLV muffler, not sure which size goes with that header pipe now though. www.gopowersports.com/exhaust-silencer-1-with-hd-ss-clamp/

Actually I think it is on Amazon too amzn.to/3S1C7sR

@@bwxmoto do mufflers affect speed because my friend said that it does but I’m not sure

@@marquisalcaraz3713 Not this muffler. It’s pretty load still, not much restriction. It might have more torque who knows. Straight pipes are deafeningly loud though.

Interesting! THought it was soybeans but who knows.

No I was just putting around really slow. People rip on them. It's not that fast up a hill but flat ground and down hill it's not bad for a cheap 125.

I would but it's a 35 hour drive and 2400 miles away LOL Yeah I still have all my bikes since 1994. 🤘

@@bwxmoto and the mini bike still on the original motor ?

@@troyholland3436 Nope it's got a Predator 212 hemi with new carb, jet, emulsion tube, header, RLV muffler, air cleaner and TC, 9t -60t, and slightly modded governor for more RPM. Goes about 50 mph down a hill, 40 mph up it.

@@bwxmoto did the other motor blow? Or just got worn out ?

@@troyholland3436 Nope it was basically new when I removed it.

No problem 👍

Cool glad it worked. Yeah I guess pull is for GP shift where you switch the linkage around because it's only meant for up-shiftng. You'd need a blipper for downshifting and this thing can only cut ignition, not biip throttle. Maybe on bikes with different stock configuration shift linkage it would be set to pull too I guess.

Thanks yeah it’s a nice minibike. Carb would definitely help it even more. But then I’d need to remove governor, and for me that would also require a better flywheel for safety. I did get a better cast aluminum flywheel so that’s something I could do. Might have to try it but it has plenty of power for the bike really. Need to work on front suspension and probably weld up frame where it has rubber bushings before I do that though. Frame is pretty flexy already! LOL

@@bwxmoto I hear ya, stiffing up the chassis is probably a safe bet, it's easy to forget it's still just a mini bike and not meant for big power. I picked up a Predator 224 on sale yesterday swap was very strait foward. Noticeable difference in tourqe, lots of mid range punch.

@@02ws64 It’s funny I have a 224. I got back when they were released and you couldn’t find them anywhere and I probably paid $100 too much for it, and it’s still sitting in the box! LOL I think I’m gonna put that one in my BT200X eventually. But I think they have a pretty low electronic RPM limiter on them, on the coils. That BT could use more torque than the 212 I have on there now has.

So after getting the 224 broken in and doing some riding it's definitely more punchy down low and mid range but the valve springs are super weak, motor floats the valves around 5200 rpm..... the stock Jain Dong 196 that was in there would turn 5600-5700 with no valve float on the stock springs. 22lb springs are next and will fix the issue but ultimately right now the bike has a lower top speed with the 224 than the 196. Also the 196 is substantially smoother as it revs the 224 is harsh you can hear and feel it.

So I just pulled the valve cover off the 224 to swap the 22lb springs and to my absolute shock it's got a hemi head with the angled rockers. I thought these were all built with a clone head. I did just pick this engine up after it had been out of stock for a while....I wonder if the new ones got upgraded with a hemi head. I took a video if anyone's interested.

I put it as first link in description but looks like it’s unavailable on amazon at that link. But that’s the one I used and yup it’s a direct replacement. I’m sure it’s available somewhere else. Sunstar 47 tooth rear sprocket amzn.to/2ZXqSoT

I don't but maybe motobuys might know. I bet there's one that fits on AliExpress but might be hard to find.

@bwxmoto bvpowersports has it for $40, just email them.

that's cool

I thought I had affiliate link in description, guess not.. amzn.to/4cWGOw5

Yeah it was tough air that day but when it finally happens it’s pretty cool!! 😎 🙏

*What are drive punches used for?* For driving out damaged rivets, bolts and pins that are bound up in holes For driving out damaged rivets, bolts and pins that are bound up in holes, you should use the drive punch. The drive punch has a flat face instead of a point. The width of its face defines this type of punch, for example, 1/8-in or 1/4-in.

Yeah I think the bike is made to be ridden in the standing position. There's one spot on the seat that has a little extra foam padding but it's not much.

@@bwxmoto true, I'm getting a new seat cover and adding some foam. Also my top engine mounts frame side broke so I am welding it back and adding gussets everywhere. My foot pegs are bending as well so I am going to get some moose pegs. Also the rear fender is not long enough to stop slinging mud up my back so I am going to figure out a way to extend it. Other than that it is worth the money. Lol

LOL Yeah I don't ride it hard enough to find it's weak points, I'm sure there are many! I still like to have it in the garage to fool around with, and let other people ride. For the money, it's pretty good. I bought it out of curiosity more than anything else, it was my first any only pit bike unless you count the KLX 140RF as giant pit bike, it kinda is, kinda not. The difference in quality is massive though, but the KLX cost 3 times as much.

@@bwxmoto it is definitely worth the money.. The broken motor mount is the only major issue. I have still been riding it 60mph with it still broken. If you pull off that air filter, plug the boost port to the case with a small piece of fuel line, plug it with a bolt and put a pod filter on it it hits 60mph🤙🏻 oh, and cut the screen out of the back of the exhaust. Huge difference, it will power wheelie with no issues now

@@Zane.Wellnitz Interesting! I actually went up a tooth on the front sprocket because I thought it would make 1st and 2nd gear more usable in the woods up hills and I figured 3rd gear would be useless anyways. But I might go down a tooth on front sprocket (already have the sprocket), and install the carb I got for it, then maybe 3rd gear would work better in the woods. Mine went about 50 mph stock down a hill but also 48 on flat ground. But I'm more concerned with usable gears in the woods than top speed on this bike for where I usually ride it. If top speed was 45 I'd be ok with it as long as it was better in the woods. Once in a while it gets super dry around here, I might just leave the spark arrestor in even though I know it would have more power with it gone. Maybe with a new carb and filter I can get a little extra power out of it. It's cold blooded but when warmed up runs pretty good fully stock actually. Better than I thought it would anyways.

That was down hill but yeah plenty of speed for this bike!

Hmm. 🤔 I copy/ pasted specs from Kawasaki website. I’ll check it out. Could have made a mistake in editing somewhere.

Just looked and it's 33.9 inches, same as the overlay.. Maybe you're thinking of the non RF?

Definitely a billy goat! Better without 15 psi in rear tire though. LOL

I honestly don’t remember!

Nope, that’s what’s nice about it.

It might. I have no idea about those emissions tests. To me it’s insanity doing emissions testing on a 30 year old designed 196cc motorcycle engine. Governments are out of control over there.

@@bwxmoto Thanks. Do you think there's any reason why I shouldn't drill out the aluminium plug to allow screwdriver access? (Sounds like it was pretty tricky to get it out with the self-tapping wood screw)

@@Snoosemoose When you use a drill on anything it seems like the drill bit usually goes through and violently collides with whatever is under the thing you are drilling no matter how hard you try for it not to do that. So I suppose you could damage the the brass screw under it (unlikely) but as long as you're careful it should be fine. You could just completely remove the carburetor but that might take more time than using a self taping screw or whatever. Like I said in vid, there's a million ways to do it. It's pretty simple stuff. What I did in vid is just what I happened to try first. It probably took more time than it should have with the self tapping screw but it worked out. I don't think I had a drill or bit that would have allowed me to use a drill without removing the carb. I don't know what the laws are over there though. Maybe they'll throw you in jail for tampering with an emission device, who knows. LOL Europe is crazy. Emission testing a TW200 seems 🦇💩 crazy in the first place. 😆 But you might be onto something, adjusting the carb for it to pass their crazy test.

​@@bwxmoto I'm going to take a close look at it, I'll probably use a drill and go easy with it if I can get reasonable access without taking the carb right out. Thanks again for your video and guidance!

@@Snoosemoose Yeah no prob. You could remove the throttle cable and twist it for access on left side of bike without completely removing carb actually. Just get it more horizontal, should be fine. Maybe you could unhook more lines and twist it for access on the right side of bike too, I didn't have to though so not sure.

Yeah I have some big syringes like that actually. Could have used one.

Just do it! Trust me bro. 😎 Seriously though you have to unless you have that riser that also moves engine way more forward in frame. It doesn’t serve any purpose other than to hold the chain guard. It’s welded on with crappy welds and the frame doesn’t need any more rigidity in that direction unless you have like 60 ft lbs if torque twisting the frame. The rear axle and engine mounting plate is all you need in that direction. Plus the shape of that piece isn’t designed for anything structural. It’s a C shape. The vertical hoops are what give the frame its strength. That piece is redundant for structural rigidity. People argue about it all the time but they really don’t know what’s up. Just my opinion though! I’m not an engineer. But you’ll never see a frame break because that piece is cut. They always break near steering neck in the vertical direction from vertical impacts like landing a jump too hard. It might help if you wreck the bike really bad and it gets hit at a weird angle from the side but still, unlikely. Even on the flimsy CT200U frame it’s fine.

@@bwxmoto thanks i have bt200x. And yes, I do have the riser that moves the engine forward so I am hoping it works out.

@@thumperbangin2000 Oh yeah you should be good. That's a nice piece, should work ok without cutting the chain guard mount. I never got one but I think they work pretty well. 🤘

@@bwxmoto had plenty of clearance. Kept frame bar on, and also kept chain guard on.

@@thumperbangin2000 Cool! Yup that's what those are made for. I may get one someday just to check it out.

Yeah at the time I didn’t realize stock driver pulley was that much different. It was definitely the driver pulley on that cvt setup acting a lot different.

@@bwxmoto Right on. I like your channel. Keep it up

@@r.r.hughes9808 Thanks, hopefully I'll start uploading again soon. I just make vids when I have something new to share basically. I want to do more mods to my minibikes, have lots of parts on the shelves to try, etc.. Just busy and whatnot. ✌

Glad it was helpful! ✌️

The only place I’m aware of that sells that bolt is the Coleman website. Sometimes shipping is automatically calculated to something ridiculously expensive and you have to contact them to see if they’ll adjust it for one small part. At least that’s the way it used to be. I’m on my phone. I think I have that link on my PC, I’ll see if I can get that link.

@@bwxmoto thank you!

Great to hear! ✌

🤘

Glad it helped!!

Haha yeah it really is a nice little bike, especially for the money! It’s not surprising it can handle more weight, it has nice torque in lower gears especially. I was impressed with the bike for sure. ✌️

Yeah I have to do that on my KLX140. This Trailmaster has a solid subframe rail but could also use a strap too. 🤘

Nice 👍

It doesn't get a ton of hours ridden on it but yeah still perfect. Just warmed it up, lubed chain, and rode it around about an hour yesterday. Everything is just amazon or ebay, maybe ali-express, etc.. My brother rode it in my last video. Just a slow muddy ride but it didn't skip a beat.

@@bwxmoto great thank you! I actually have one on the way.

Yeah no problem. It’s a must do mod really!

Yeah you can buy just the rear pulley, at least you used to be able to on eBay and amazon. It would be listed as the “driven pulley” for a TAV2 30 torque converter.

Thanks

I'm not sure, it's been a while since I have looked at it. Could be spacers are not installed correctly, that seems most likely! Is it the end of the bolts? Maybe wrong bolts? Hard to say!

@@bwxmoto part 3 of this video series answered it. Actually. I had the spacers correctly, but between the two spacers facing the brake rotor side, you're supposed to have that bracket that holds the rotor in between the two smaller spacers. I figured that part out, but I would have screwed up the proper chain length if I didn't watch your video on how to compress the shocks. So I already discarded the original shock. So what I'll do is just disconnect the shock from the sprocket side. I have a chain tensioner and a chain guide. Keep the videos coming. They're good and they're detailed

@@Midlifecrisismods Sweet! Yeah lots of people destroy chains and bearing and stuff if chain is too tight when swing arm is extended. But yeah chain tensioner works great on this bike. I haven't touched it since I put that steel roller on and got spring adjusted right. Yeah I still have stuff I want to do to this bike this summer so I'll probably do another vid and update on it at least. ✌

@@bwxmoto hell yeah I'm putting a super modded Ducar 212, pairing it with the juggernator as well premium front end suspension kit from Go Power Sports, plus a real gas tank. It's going to be my main cruiser. Your videos are influential to the mb200 hurricane community because of the documentation so well that you do. Everyone tries to act like they're Emeril. Lagasse leave the main secret ingredient out and say bam and post a video of their badass rig. However, they never show you the secret sauce LOL. Even the exploded view straight from Trailmaster on the rear wheel assembly is vague. Even if you follow it to the T, it doesn't show that that brake spot goes between the two spacers that's for sure

@@Midlifecrisismods Thanks man! Yeah I'm just trying to help people and make a vid that has some actual value to someone, especially when I come across problems. I try to only cover things I'm pretty sure about, at least at the time, and make sure to say if I don't know for sure. I could slap engines together and get more views but there are other people that are much better at that. LOL These bikes are simple but still, there's lots of little things that can go wrong when you start modding them especially when someone is first starting out working on things in general. These vids are aimed at people who haven't messed with these before or people who have and just want to see how someone else does it. I'm no expert mechanic but in certain areas I hope I can help. ✌

I ended up just sticking a Tillotson 212 “stage 1” in there with a superpipe! It rips pretty good now.

I think link might be in description. If not I'll check later. It's in one of these vids about MB200-2 in the description.

@@bwxmoto 👍🫡

@@rigleyrigley4000 I just looked and that info was on a HDD that died. If you look in amazon or ebay and search for motorcycle mirrors you’ll find 20 to 30 dollar ones that look just like this. With the nice hinges. They are pretty good for the price.
