@hellcatdad3883 I'm glad it helped! It gets it stiffened up without being over the top. Trailmaster is a great bike and can last a long time if maintained and ridden respectively for what it is.

@kevrg no problem! Super glad I could help.

@joegenova1198 The correct way is to remove the shaft and get the bearings out....that said, I know how daunting the task truly is. If you can remove just the outside seals, a guy could deuce them out with a little brakleen and get the majority of any of the old contaminated grease. I'd go after the balls with a toothbrush and a little dish soap (😄), light blow with the compressor or a gentle suck with the shop vacuum to dry, you don't want to blow the seal out on the inside since you're trying to leave the bearings in place. Pack then with new #2 grease and reassemble. If the bearings are in fact, worn, you either get the old ones out or you get a whole new unit.

@rodri53882 how is it terrible? The stock brake couldn't keep up with the rotational force of the heavier/larger circumference wheels let alone the engine. I prefer larger disc brake calipers but they take even more modification to install.

@tonyblewitt6159 I use Tuck and Run linkage from OMBWAREHOUSE.COM. They work with a governor and can be set up to run without one as well.

@franknapolitano9144 I owned a Trailmaster already. I prefer the Coleman. The RSV is tough. There's a dude on Facebook (robby morris) who makes a swingarm relocation kit if you wanted to lift it up higher like a Trailmaster. Stock I had issues with the MB200-2, they look cool till you touch them and realize how cheap the plastics, foot pegs and seat are. If you dump about 2500 into a Trailmaster with some custom upgrades they improve.

@wileecoyote5749 holy Moses! That's awesome to know how well they are built. Honda really is on another level.

@qvsus it's always a good idea to go completely over a used mini bike. A lot of them get neglected.

@@buddahmayne9273 I save them off of Coleman 196s.

@@fatbuddycat I like that design

@@francoreia8147 I'm sure some of it does.

@Mason-to9fv no problem! I ride this bike a lot, it's a lot of fun.

@@Mason-to9fv this bike is a blast to own. Simple and effective.

For sure! The quality is there. They are a good engine to leave sort of stock and run everyday.

@fatbuddycat I got my motovox riding yesterday I did about 2 miles around on it almost got the dirtbug done I just can't get a valve stem tell tomorrow only thing holding me up walmart and tractor supply both are out of stock but it is hay session here I did get some paint bought ad if I don't do it now there won't be any next month with demolition derbies session starting

@@heathenprojects2639 lol the good ol' boys be hogging it all up!

Smooth and dependable! My family enjoys taking it out for rides. I typically take my ct70 clone, but sometimes a scooter ride around the back roads is what's in order.

It's am Amigo Rocky 125. They come with a 125cc 4spd manual.

@@fatbuddycat very cool! i recently just bought a grom clone, hellcat vader 125. definitely dig the ct70 clone

@@nszabados these small displacement street legal bikes are a blast. I'm going to try out some other ones when I have free time. Honda is going to be sending their new ct70/DAX 125 over here very soon....it looks amazing.

I had skin cancer on my forehead and I started working again. No free time is an understatement. I'm going to try and make some regular videos but I'll be posting some riding ones too, maybe a few explaining why I build my bikes the way I do.

We're looking forward to it

Thanks! I put a lot into this thing the last month or so. I'm hoping to make some more videos soon, I had to have a melanoma removed from my forehead and I'm working long hours so it's difficult to find the time in between everything.....sooo pov ride alongs it is!

@@fatbuddycat get well sir , Killer bike 👍

It rips nicely. The 4spd manual is a blast on back roads.

I love this engine so far. Easy to start but as soon as you hit the throttle it's noticeably a performer, right down to the exhaust note.

Braaaaap! That was a sweet little bike.

It's high class for a mini bike, I'm only doing simply mods by replacing the factory parts with higher quality ones. It rides like a luxury SUV. Wide and comfortable.

@@fatbuddycat Hell yeah....Stage Nasty🤙

I don't really get caught up in the whole top speed thing with minibikes. It's got a Ducar 212 with the governor removed and a 5250rpm coil installed on it presently. I probably get it up around 35 in the yard and top out somewhere around 50 if I had enough room to stretch her legs.

5/16-24 on the gx200.

I guess it depends who has a patent to design and manufacturing, others they both could be. I own three of the silver ones.

@@fatbuddycat I’d bet it is all Chinese manufactured- there are no patent laws there. I worked for an international manufacture (42 years) we could literally bring a complex part to China and have production copy manufacturing ready in 4 to 5 days. None of it makes it right it’s just the wild - Wild West in China and they handle export without question.

I'm running mine with a limited coil and torque converter so it won't get too high up in rpm. The Ducar can be setup for 5300 rpm out of the box with a regular governor, similar to the Tillotson 212R. The Ghost, Ducar and 212r all utilize stock cast rods.

Here's a cool video about it.......czcams.com/video/8OZIwCP7AU8/video.htmlsi=gYVBiBk0XZDpBLz2

@@fatbuddycat Thank you. I'm just wanting a reliable engine and don't want anything to explode lol. It'll be a straight chain for my setup.

@wasabimane they are kart racing engines, they typically run clutches on those.

They are nice, I'm not a fan of traditional mechanical governors but I love the simplicity/reliability of a stock carb. I didn't want a Ghost with a cheap slide job and no aluminum flywheel.

​@@fatbuddycatgot ya 👌

I'm genuinely impressed, it even has a great sound for a stock muffler. I was going to go 224 but then got to thinking about the smoother stroke in their 212. I want this bike stone cold dependable. Not saying all 224s are rough but I'm also not risking the side cover vibrating loose as easily with the 212.

@fatbuddycat I chose the ducar over the others for my first mini and I love it still thinking bout the pro equip kit on ebay for 115 gives the flat piston billet rod ect

@Spacecruizer203 I'm working on a 224 right now that should turn up nicely. I enjoy building engines. This one I had to clearance for the rod which was way easier than I thought. I had to make an adjustment to my piston height, first time going over 265 and using 1:2 roller rockers.....custom pushrod length and stuff....

@fatbuddycat tell ya the truth if I get all the tools I'm gonna juice this one up something naztyy

@fatbuddycat I know I saw that vid u did I was like dam that's a rippa

As long as the geometry looks good you'll be ok. If the 163 is based on a gx160 then it will have the same 5.260 Pushrods as a 196. A 160 has a shorter cylinder with the same 68mm bore as a 196, same valves as a 196....they use shorter lifters to make up for it.

I'd say it's slightly longer than a mm212 without suspension. With the swingarm kit the mm212 would be longer I think. It's smaller than the MB200-2 in length and height but it's wider and has a stronger frame. The RSV is a really neat bike in person.

I agree about the frame and looks just like the MM. Seen the MM up against the colman that is like the RSV without rear suspension and it looked lower than the MM, but the frame looks exactly like the MM. I have a TM and is a great bike but I want a beefier frame. Trying to decide on MM or RSV. MM needs to step it up!

Even with the stock exhaust you can tell she's got something cooking!

😆 naw just a little skin cancer. Nothing too spectacular.

@@fatbuddycat Holy Crap! Did they catch it early enough that they can get rid of it I hope? 😬

@JNC1973 so far so good!

I had a bit of a health issue that I've been recovering from along with working full-time (over time). I've been working on a few things when I can though.

@@fatbuddycat Good to see you back , !!

Thanks!

Absolutely!

Which part? 😆 Ombwarehouse.com is my jam for most of them!

@@fatbuddycat thanks😄

Ride with the wind.....😆 seriously, you might gain 5mph! Lol I absolutely love going on scooter adventures. Fill it up, bring some snacks and hit the open road.

Yup. Wish I had too. I ended up scrapping the project.
