420cc Mega Moto First Ride ~ Too Much Torque!!!!

Today we finish the 420cc Mega Moto swap. We have a few engine problems but we get those fixed and take it out for a test. This bike has tons of torque! It is a handful in the low end. What should we do to the bike next?

I do 55 with a tork kit on my 212 cc engine thinking bout putting a 450cc in a dirt bike 😅 real power 🎉

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

Love watching people build minibikes professionally and go above and beyond on capability, so awesome 🔥💯

[@cedhome7945]

Drag race series with 3 classes 212-275 then 420- 460 and unlimited this would be cheap way to get people into racing and I would help race development of these engines 😀love to see a road bike long trip where people could come along and join in (wonder how many would take part )

[@rustybeatty6567]

looks like you now need a 13 tooth front sprocket and do not change the rear sprocket. The current sprocket setup is topping out 58 MPH with a 13 tooth front sprocket they might be able to reach 65 to 70 MPH depending on the weight of the rider and reduce the risk of popping wheelies as well.

[@patanthony9286]

Thanks for clean language, I enjoyed watching the ride

[@jeffmason2010]

I suffer from mini bike envy, after watching this!

[@moesauto]

I felt like I noticed the lash issue first watching through! You lashed and tightened down and when you put the cover on, the right rocker swung! Very nice build!

[@sickduck66]

That Rotating Stand Is A Must Have!!!

[@dingobabyeats596]

This is exactly the kind of build i want to do. Great video! Thank you!

[@3GingerCats]

It wasn't something silly like the pushrod not sitting in it's hole on the Cam Follower? I know Assembly lube dries up and can spin a bearing after an engine is built and just sits for years before being rotated, so I don't discount your theory, but the 1/4 inch thing makes me think it was the Pushrod out of it's hole. Also, You May know that Shawn/Sean from Bikes and Beards is now Living in Tennessee... Let's see you two Collab and put a Built 670 in a Harley frame and see if it's faster than a Harley!!!

[@Jasonkartracing]

I have that same valve spring compressor I bought one from harbor freight that didn’t work on small engines but the one like yours was the best 15 bucks I ever spent I was tired of having sore thumbs and asking my wife to put in the keepers I’m sure I’m not the only one

[@shark11175]

Knock knock who's there

[@jeredwheeler3535]

Y'all should totally put a peg design on the back that way it brings your center of balance forward on the bike to keep it from lifting up

[@Don.E.63]

Watching you build this bad boy is fun, that sucker is gonna thump!

[@JasPlun]

I enjoyed the video also love seeing the small diesel swaps.

[@Buses2Bikes]

That is one crazy-loud valve train. I', at the 18:45 Mark and Lonnie coming up that ramp and in the air...the bike sounds like it's gonna throw a rod the tapping is so loud. It's an awesome set up but it sounds like it needs a bit more clearancing and/or valve adjusting or something.

[@codygullett88]

Throw a higher ramping variator and or lighter weights for it to ramp up a bit on rpm

[@Strict30]

My 420 runs 80 just with a 308 and ported head🎉

[@jessewhetsell4034]

That's awesome man ! I'm putting a 420 on my manco big cat . Had one when I was a kid but this gonna have the pep n it's step 😁💪

[@johnny22single99]

ABSOLUTELY----> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Needs an extended swing arm kit would be much better/safer to ride!!✌️💚✊️🔥

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Oo scratch that comment 😅lolol

[@ecogiful]

I felt like i was on speed through half that video. ill keep tweeking, you keep up the great videos!

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

Who tooted at 08:28? LOL!! Great job on this one....makes me think about a 420 or 440 for my modified live axle lawn tractor!

[@bennettbritton4029]

I just noticed that also lmao 🤣

[@denisepharr5077]

Hey Mr. red beard if you have the poly sticking out the right way,, you won’t have to worry about getting the spring, right I’m having problems taking off🏍️

[@bigtoefizzy]

Wildcat 460cc next I hope!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

yes sir. I will be getting one soon.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

You can name it "Hardly", the "Trail Hoss"....Seems like the Clydesdale of mini bikes.

[@samlivingspinal1331]

What happened there at 8:28? :) Awesome build. Love it.

[@btv1676]

Next... Extend that back axel . Stretch the beast 💯💯💯

[@gb-bp1me]

Is an 80 mph mini bike possible? How much horsepower would be required?

[@nicholaskenny6723]

I wish these things were street legal in Massachusetts!

[@michaelakers8698]

Next upgrade take the jackshaft off and install a baker 6 speed for a Harley. I think you can get a hundred mph out of her.👍😂👍

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I have a 5 speed Harley trans setting on the shelf!

[@kyleRS87]

You guys should sell bolt on motor mount kits for this 👍

[@tj8210]

What break in oil is he using? Transmisson oil?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

AMSOIL

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Wow! That was awesome. Thanks for the word from the good book.

[@WoLFSkYBLuE69]

Awesome bike Greg👍

[@Cherokee-sz7xi]

How is it that you live in Tennessee and say,,OIL instead of OLL,,? 😂 love the video’s!

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

AWESOME!! "Ghetto, Yes will it work?? Furr surrre" 😆✌️💚✊️🔥

[@lucasturner9551]

This is a cool ass build

[@ChrisRollins]

Sick!

[@kartaroundtheworld]

isn't the exhaust too close from the rubber belt ?

[@kelleyhaile4926]

My rb200 w 420 is governed still and does 58mph. Try a 30 series driven and a 5990 belt.. I remove my gov ill be doing 70

[@kelleyhaile4926]

With the 40 series driver

[@Wickedkooll]

What state you in I use a minibike for work and my engine makes a lot of crazy noises and has decreased performance exponentially

[@eugenemeyer7500]

Please can you work on your buggies i would like to see it complete. Like the harley buggy

[@djredohio8377]

Yall sell these ready to ride ???

[@RedBeardsGarage]

unfortunately we do not. Sometimes we sell projects when we are done.

[@Gokywildcats11]

Like to see a street legal trike build

[@kevinbushey1879]

I love what you do but I like things that are dependable when I go riding I go far into the woods I can’t afford a break down. All those mods never hold up you can only ride in a parking lot to be safe.

[@mikekrause910]

That's not true. Maybe your mods don't hold up!

[@joshuataft5541]

I wish i knew ya im technically criple so i reverted to a grom glone scooter..it would love this engine 😢

[@troyriderzsquad2158]

Do you have a link for that rotating round table/base you have?

[@fadedlight8596]

hey Red could you do a build of a Subaru ex13? i have a hot one for my mini bike even though its a 5.0 and i wanna put a new bottom end and top in it for more comp with a metal plate welded across the top. I cant find parts though other than the carb...

[@fadedlight8596]

great vid btw!

[@NCMATT]

I was thinking it was knocking on video

[@PatTheBaker855]

does anyone know if they started making aftermarket parts for the 459 predator? Or does the 420 aftermarket fit it?

[@nitewolf3369]

i want one like that.

[@MaliqLeak]

I’m not gone lie for 420cc it should be way faster I have a 224 cc predator goin 70+

[@kenharper7243]

I got those speeds on a 212 built tilly. 😂

[@DinoStackszSpartankicksz]

420cc for win 🥇bro knows it great build boss it’s a hog 🐽💯🖤🦖💨🤘🏾

[@billyfleshman7451]

How much you want for it my friend

[@skiphinson8620]

Great video. I love the scriptures and witnessing you do in the name of Our Lord.

[@kevinbushey1879]

As long as you ride in your back yard mods make things weak

[@JTFranks]

Definitely heard a fart in there😂😂😂

[@hunterpalmer9706]

Love the content! I was really hoping to go from learning about these engines, into learning about a manual 200-250cc range, and watch a complete rebuild. I’ve binged watched almost everything from every channel about the predator engines. Doubt I retained much, but nonetheless they get me amped up.. jk I’ve done some mods to my mini. But I couldn’t find many videos on a budget single cylinder, 4 stroke, manual engine. Looking for something that’s uniform like the predator and can easily get parts for because they make clones… It would be really cool if you did a series on that, and showed and gave the parts list on completely step by step rebuild (I want to build a minimalistic dual sport) but I want the engine to be dirt cheap… Please🙏🥹

[@johnmollenkofsr7379]

Dude I am so freaking far behind bc I have not seen your KZbin channel in a bit bc I got a new phone so I lost all my channels

[@joshuataft5541]

Man i wish my scooter had that much blls

[@littlefishfabshop]

Great scripture!

[@michaelstarr5861]

I'd love to make $170 a day for doing real fun stuff all day

[@minibikemadman]

no need for a big block in these...the way you can get power from a 212 or 224 it's just not worth the weight.

[@ridenm7748]

How much does it take to make similar power with a 224?

[@sandmanbub]

Whoop!!

[@ianellithorpe5918]

God bless RBG

[@Camz316]

I love the Bible verses!

[@DinoStackszSpartankicksz]

🦖❤🧔‍♂️🤘🏾💨

[@zapo4867]

No need fkr the bible verses😂

[@joelrodrig8763]

I'm loving your new build, brother Red Beard!! Really hoping you're offering these up for sale. If so, please let me know. I'm in the market for a great build as this one. I see you aren't taking any shortcuts, and that's admirable. I'm a QC Inspector out here in San Diego, CA and recognize "pride in workmanship: when I see it. Would you please get back and let me know. Thank you in advance. God bless!! #777 #JesusIsLord #AmericaFirst #USA

[@philipmail499]

Any updates on the blown engine yet

[@shitmonkey]

You have only affordable go-kart frames for sale. I'm local

[@theoldfartschannel3692]

The reason I have a minibike is that it's extremely light, had a short wheelbase, and is highly maneuverable on deep woods game trails. A big block would be defeating that purpose.

[@FlatlineKy]

what is the gear ratio on this build? might have missed it in the video but it seems like a 50 tooth with the torque it has

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I believe it was a 50 on the tire and 10 on the jackshaft.

[@kevinbushey1879]

It sounds terrible

[@zapo4867]

Facts

[@johnlease2369]

I have the same bike but am going to squeeze all i can get out of the 196cc. And regearing for power not to much speed.

[@brian6029]

Looks like a great setup. 😎👍👍

[@NubsWithGuns]

As cool as it is, seems like it just isn't the bike for bulky 420. A Hurricane on the other hand hint hint lol Ya know EC makes a 460 lol.😅

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

The bolt you've put in where the oil sensor was looked like it was touching right at the bottom of the bolt as it looked worn. That would definitely make the noise we're all hearing. I've had ½ a dozen of those little engines & only 1 has sounded that tappie & that's where the bolt I put in to fill that oil sensor hole was 2 long . . .

[@Shawn-p6v]

Red beard brother man I have 0 mechanical knowledge so my question to you is if I was to pay you for your time if I was to send you my rt200 mini and a brand new 420cc engine with a tvc would you be willing to put it all together for me and send it back because I can't find anyone locally who's willing and I'd much rather have you do my bike because of your years of experience with mini's brother so please please please lmk if that's not asking to much from one of your long time subscribers and HUGE HUGE FANS???? BUT EITHER WAY KEEP THE GREAT CONTENT COMING OUT AND I'LL FOR CERTAIN KEEP WATCHING EM!!!! ALSO MUCH MUCH LOVE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE BROTHER!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

[@jaredwycuff4695]

I have a question my son has a Coleman rb100 mini mini bike. Is there a torque converter that will bolt up to it? Without modification. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks!

[@username-mk8gf]

I'd love to see another 301 build, they're almost half the price of a 420 and have a balance shaft.

[@AngelRala-z8v]

What’s the best torque converter for I’m building a same build with a 420cc but a rt200 frame

[@LMoutdoors2024]

Need to dyno test a 420 and 301. Be awesome to see what they can do

[@KeithWileyTV]

I need that kind of exhaust

[@Cruizerdoesit]

So which one do weget the 440 or 420 which one has more parts available

[@mr.liggins9092]

I wouldn't waste my time and money on a tc just straight chain it its a 420

[@markyoung9964]

What brand of assembly lube was used a year/year and a half ago?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Maxima

[@markyoung9964]

thanks for the reply@@RedBeardsGarage

[@johnnysimmons9406]

Hello i have a mb 200 i would like for you to build it up and let me know

[@Popwarner-x1w]

Can you add some obnoxious Rap music to your videos 😜

[@2fxst2drxft]

I have an RT200, essentially the same frame… and I’m wondering if I can maybe copy this build. How do I do it step by step?

[@Adventureoutdoors.]

Was this a 440 or 420cc?

[@noah7140]

My 212 goes 62

[@LORDTREVORTON]

Is it faster than the 224 gps bike yet?

[@danielfrazier840]

On vw's and mostly all race engines they run zero lash. That will quite the valves down id run .007 or .005 on both valves

[@SteveBiggs-kz4of]

Love your builds an an knowledge of how to do better custom repair an performance awesome job red beard keep up the great builds ....

[@jacoblively4790]

I was just nonchalantly watchin your videos for my sons mini bike and see the primary school next to my mothers house i had no clue you were in that area i would love to have my sons bike worked on if your shop takes customers

[@J_Alrighty]

nice welds. seems to be less common on youtube these days

[@hankburton2043]

That Donnie is a newbie isn’t he lol good to see him
