Baja Warrior Mini Bike First Start and Top Speed (1080P)

[@jimmyjones9950]

i remember as a kid and racing minibikes at the Saddleback Motorcycle Park in Santiago Canyon, Southern California. I was sponsored and raced for " The Hawk " Racing Team. I rode a modified Zebra Mini Bike, with a 6 horse Techumshe motor punched out with a mikuni 26 carburetor running nitro methane using a torque convertor putting 12 horse to the rear wheel. I was clocked at speeds in access of 60 to 70 miles per hour. Those were the day's.

[@brandonmoore3216]

iv had mine about 4years and I have done everything you can think of offroad with it stock and I'm 6'1 200lbs it is a really good trail bike.

[@pinar6ad]

Y'all have some nice ass grass.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

lol thanks

[@brandonhollifield1855]

Michael p ha

[@Astro80s]

I wish my grass was soft

[@lilhou1820]

I'm so excited I'm getting one of these tomorrow and keep watching videos on them and they just make me more hype

[@danielportillo148]

Same situation currently😂 mine arrives tomorrow

[@prymezz5375]

How has it been?

[@LilDoggy]

I wonder if they put enough warning decals on the thing

[@tayfoy6506]

Just sayn' the 16 and over rule was broke a long time ago lol

[@psychologicalsigma9917]

Couple crash n burns n they'll rub off

[@gmodesike]

would be nice to get a group of friends and start a motorcycle club with these..would be pretty bad as$ :)

[@chrisjackson1797]

yo I absolutely agree with you. I said the same thing

[@GaryntaraBurbank]

gmodesike we have a group here in phoenix Arizona

[@ethanedler2553]

Search up Honda Grom group rides

[@Umbrella387]

gmodesike I’m getting one today

[@malikeverett5225]

I have one also I painted it

[@clinteast7476]

Had one of these with Honda 8 hp motor, sounded like a Harley. lol ,it was fun and a bit scary. when clutch kicked in sometimes it would pop a wheelie.

[@devonwright9997]

Ive trying to figure out if a 301cc/8hp predator would fit without having to do really any mods to anything or the frame

[@SpiritsoftheWolf]

you can make them road legal, add brake and tail lights, turn signals, and horn, upgrade the alternator to a 12 volts instead of 6 volts, you could change the front rim with a back rim for an additional front brake, and then it's street legal

[@bjz5854]

It has dual rear drum brakes

[@mitch3782]

I just bought one today for $100 haven’t been rode over a year ! Her husband bought it in 2012 & it’s just rusted on a couple parts , drained the oil today was old as hell , but other than that it’s dope ! Can’t wait to get it up & running so I can cruise on it 😎

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Sounds like a good deal!

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Yes they are good for mud and trails. The best tip I have is not to leave it stock and perhaps invest in a torque converter for it because that makes like a night and day difference.

[@dabboijames3286]

Just got mine today from tractor supply throw some oil and gas in it started up 2nd pull and she's a real beast highly ecomend this bike

[@nilsantossantos684]

James Mey pouer

[@dee_3562]

James Meyer how much do you way

[@MrRagingbull480]

Take the extra gear sprocket off and run a straight one piece chain if you want speed. You will lose torque but the bike will do an easy 50 mph

[@owenbeers2630]

Or, you can get a torque converter. My mini Baja has enough torque to pull a wheelie and go a little over 50mph. I'm only running a 7hp predator 212cc motor on mine.

[@owenbeers2630]

[@greasysteve5671]

+Owen Beers I have a homemade mini bike with a 3hp teucumse in it. we had to replace the old 5hp motor cause itd do wheelies

[@GaryntaraBurbank]

jr loza just put a torque converter on it and run the belt drive unhook the governor and you can run 60/65 mph I have a street legal Baja warrior 200

[@kowal789]

Just push the choke link or what ever it’s called, under the tank. 10+mph right there

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Thanks! I think the mb200's are still the same 196cc engine as all the rest, at least that's what the specs say on baja's site. They just seem to have a bit different look and a couple extra features. So if that is the case you should be able to get it to do about 54km/h if you were to completely bypass or remove the governor.

[@DTA-me3kv]

And it would blow up

[@garyburbank3833]

I had one they are great trail bikes I like better then a dirt bike

[@gopro2027]

I got one of these and it is insane. My dad bought it for me when I was 12. I almost never rode it. It got all gunked up and ran like shit. I recently bought a yamaha ttr 125 and my lil bro wanted to try to get the warrior running and we had done some previous work trying to fix it so we kinda messed up the idling or something but after a bit of messing with it we adjusted the spring so you hold down the brake when you start it and let go of the brake and it just goes until you switch it off. At max speed it goes about as fast as my ttr in like 3rd gear but it is very unsafe so my brother won't be riding it until we can get it fixed properly. For now it is a little fun machine for me and my friend to ride up and down the street together. I think it is worth the money especially if you take care of it (unlike I did)

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Same thing happened on my old one, I just ignored it and was going to wait until the brakes stopped working before replacing them, that never happened. They've been squeaking for years but it still stops fine. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

you could remove the jack-shaft and attach the chain from it to the main chain, so your going straight from clutch to back sprocket. If not that, then the only thing I can think of would be torque converter or start rebuilding the internals of the engine. The torque converter should come with all the bolts and stuff you'll need, but you'll still need a drill and a grinder to make it fit.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

you can use regular 30w lawnmower oil, or 10w30 regular or synthetic. You just fill it until the oil reaches the top or the fill mark on the dip stick if it has one.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

It should. I have one from like 2006 that still works fine.

[@nathanlafontaine7509]

I have the exact same mini bike and it is awesome

[@erichuntII]

I have one I got it wen I was ten still runs great

[@bobchessy]

great video. i made a pipe out of scrap metal and a spray paint can then painted it with grill paint. now i need to save up for a torque converter! but my warrior is an '06 and the previous owner didnt take care of it and beat the crap out of it so i need to replace the rear tire and cables first...

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Thanks! They're pretty cheap, around $600 when on sale. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

A 10 year old should have no problem riding one of these, they are small and easy to handle.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Stock is indeed slow. but with 2 min and a piece of wire you can bring the speed up to 54km/h or swap out the centrifugal clutch with a torque converter clutch and bring that up to 70km/h.

[@mrman26]

Awesome. My cousin had one that we used to ride when we were about twelve. Loved that thing!

[@Thecarguy1254]

I have a mini baja from like 2005 (bought it used in 2009) and the original engine's head took a dump. These engines are a dime a dozen so I found a 206 cc engine for 180 bucks brand new. It has alot more torque now. I just wish I could afford a CVT for it!

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I've only seen them at Canadian Tire and TSC Stores. But according to Baja's site they also sell them at Pep Boys and Atwoods.

[@JackieDL]

I took off all those stickers, Cut down the front fender, Put chrome around the fenders and gas tank, Then Painted it a light blue color!

[@chrismiller1265]

Where did u get this because if been looking for one and can't find it

[@ASMRlum]

tractor supply co.

[@akimbojimbo6590]

Alright this is going to sound crazy but when I was a kid I had a razor electric dirt bike. It could go about 20 which aweaone for a electric motor well now I have ripped all of that crap off and now have a 212 predator on there don't ask me how it was a miracle this thing will go about 40 now!!its frickin awesome

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Sweet! This bike does about 34mph with a 5min mod, or 44mph with a torque converter.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Hmm not sure what you are referring to "to do just that and be out nothing" to do what? They are really slow from the factory and in this video, so maybe you are referring to the video where I put a torque converter on this? If that's the case things like the torque converter not being aligned properly, under inflated tires, driving against the wind, and more weight could be bringing down the speed?

[@jmkisner7968]

I modded my last baja heat. It was tricked out but about 7 years old. Pretty rough shape till I bought it. Pretty much upgraded clutch. Made it a ton faster. Especially in asfault

[@blitz_officia999]

I got one off these all black there sick I suggest getting one

[@firetanks8212]

Some dude is trying to sell one of these for $350 is it worth it?

[@sgt.cheeto-dust1459]

Hence Bryson yes

[@firetanks8212]

James Mitchell Ya the dude said it was 200cc.

[@irelandmcalexander5374]

I can get the sane exact one for literally $50 im just making sure its a good deal it works great

[@kenny352100]

Hell yes just got one

[@josephfarris204]

yes buy it there cool my neighbor has one

[@ball_soup]

You can take the governor off as well as remove the plastic in front of the switches on top of the engine.

[@Viralzzz]

Just got the same one! :D Got pulled over by a cop and had to walk it 2km home

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Probably, they really limit the speed on these off the shelf. Even the 50cc Baja dirt bike goes like 35mph stock. However on this, with the governor removed or bypassed, it goes about 34mph, and with a torque converter it goes about 44mph, or with governor removed or bypassed and jack-shaft removed or bypassed this goes about 53mph.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

No problem! Awesome! :) I have seen the mb200's at the store every now and then, I've just never took one apart or looked closely at it. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Ya I don't think the screw does much, its definitely the governor kicking in.

[@Nicknis17]

That's a nice bike! How much did that set you back? Haha

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Not sure, perhaps pull apart the twist part to see if the cable is still in the groove, or maybe it's come disconnected from the motor, or perhaps its come out of the thing that holds it in place on the motor and the whole cable is moving rather then just the inside cable. Hard to tell, just follow the cable and twist the throttle to see what its doing or not doing.. :P

[@katelynmacmaster3335]

Gerald, you might have to turn on your choke and once it starts, make sure your fuel and choke is off.

[@TommyZTrains]

Funny Story: An "Auto-Parts" place went out of Business in my State ... anyway, I got one of these bikes (exactly like u have) and a Customer that 'happened along" liked it so much I sold it to Him ... LATER I ended up buying 37 of them "chain-wide" ! * I sold all but a few that I "stashed away" and made enough of a profit to do just that and be out nothing. ** What I don't recall was them going as FAST as yours **. "anyway" .... :- )

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@CodieLee93 Ya in stock form it is pretty slow. It's because the engine is governed at 3600rpm and it is geared fairly low and only has the one gear. You can get it to about 31mph in about 5 min just by by passing the governor which brings the rpm up to around 5000rpm but that is hard on the engine for any sort of extended period. You could also remove the gear reduction system and go striaght from clutch to back sprocket and gain a lot of speed but you would loose lots of torque.

[@ZAYIZABOSS]

More mini bike vids and mods please. Yours are the best on youtube. Great job man👍

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Thanks, good to hear! :D Although future videos from me will be few and far between. Don't have much free time nowadays. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

***** ..?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

***** I see, lol :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@braidraid Thanks! Glad you like em!! =-) More to come this summer hopefully!

[@proxisquare6240]

Brooo im so jealous you got one, I've been wanting one of those but literally no one in my state has one for sale

[@mikeyeyey8678]

proxisquare just buy it online

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@Emmonach Hmm that's totally up to you. If you plan on modding and customizing it then I'd say it is but If you just plan on keeping it stock then probably not. You could always see if you could find a cheap used one instead of buying new?

[@StarzXFP]

How is this bike? A neighbor is selling it practically brand new and I'm trying to get it for a good price. Not seeing any brakes in the front or suspension in the back kind of puts me off though. Does it brake okay with just the rear and how smooth is the ride?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

The big balloon tires absorb some of the bumps but still rougher then a dirt bike with full suspension. Stops ok, but definitley not as good as a bike with a front brake. Why don't you just take your neighbours bike for a test ride and see for yourself? :P

[@StarzXFP]

MarcelsWorkshop I don't think it runs, and I don't really have the budget for it. He was selling it for 550, 500 probably for a neighbor. He said it was rode once for a few minutes and that's it. It's been sitting though so I could haggle and I'm pretty sure no one else would take it off his hands for a while. He is a cheapskate though. I really want it though since there's a nice trail beside the train tracks in back of my house and it would be fun to cruise down to the lake. Need something between 300-400$ (used most likely) and decent for that.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

StarzXFP I'm sure it runs unless he did some serious damage to it? These can sit for like a year then still start in one or 2 pulls lol. There pretty reliable. Might be tough finding one that cheap unless its in pretty rough shape. Guess you'll have to just keep watching kijiji and craigslist or save up an extra $100. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

no, not on this video. this was to show exactly what you would get right off the show floor. I start modding it in other videos.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@AlexanderBeans No Idea, it's not something I've ever calculated or has ever concerned me lol. I think the Baja site used to say approx 30-50mpg for these on their specs page but it doesn't say any more so don't quote me on that. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Not sure. Probably not until the spring or summer. I don't really do any of this stuff in the winter. Too cold and snowy lol.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@CodieLee93 Although best way to gain more speed and actually gain more torque is a torque converter. That brings the top speed to around 43mph. But that's another $200-300. And these are indeed 4-stroke, the craigslist person probably didn't know what they were talking about or might have replaced the engine with a 2-stroke engine. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Ya the light works, although its not the brightest. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

you could unplug the light but its not wasting any energy, there's no battery, it runs straight from the engine, the faster you drive the brighter the light gets. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@Emmonach It can. Just depends on what you do to it, how hard you are on it and how well you take care of it.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Completely stock around 35km/h, with removed or bypassed governor around 50km/h, with torque converter around 70km/h.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

All engines this style will top out around the same speed because they run at the same rpm. With more hp doesn't come more speed but more power and torque and the ability to use smaller gearing. 2.5hp probably cant even climb a steep hill where as this could do it fairly easily. This also has a jackshaft on it to reduce speed but gain more power and torque. Once you remove or bypass governor on this you get 54km/h (34mph). If you were to remove jackshaft and governor you get 85km/h (53mph). :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

As for the torque converter you should be able to but I've seen a video where it shows that it has a threaded crankshaft rather then tapped. So you need to find a special lug nut to hold on the driver unit and grind down some of the key way on it.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I would hope so. Don't know why anyone would keep these at stock speed.

[@baileydonahue7314]

i just bought one of these a week ago, i was really lucky becuz somebody returned theres to TSC and they knocked off more than 200$ but ya itsreally fun once i get enough money im gonna get a tourqe converter but i gotta get a new car before that :)

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@Mrtechsauce there's a wire coming out of the front of the engine that the light plugs into, that I guess is hooked up to a little generator inside the engine.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@fransolis94 Thanks! =-) I don't know for sure if it can bacause theres no hills that steep around my house, but I would think with the stock clutch as long as you were moving a good speed before hitting the hill it would climb fine, but if you were to start on the hill from a dead stop the clutch might just slip. With a torque converter clutch it would prolly do fine though even from a complete stop.

[@aidensworld2478]

link to where can I buy this please?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

6.5's don't get 40 until after the governor is removed or bypassed and maybe some other mods are done to them. This video was to show what you get with this bike when it's still fully governed with nothing done to it, right off the retail floor. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@Viralzzz lol nice! That sucks though that the cops caught you, must of taken forever to walk it back. :P I would of just waited until the cop left then hoped right back on, lol.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@dailee3 hmm not sure... gas on and flowing, choke on, kill switch in right position? oil full, gas full and fresh? spark plug connected properly and working? Engine not flooded? Try spraying some quick start into the air intake and seeing if the engine even attempts to start after that?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

nice. hmm its just the baffle you want? not sure.. you could try going to a retailer that sells em like Canadian Tire or TSC stores and see if they could order the part for you?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Definitely the governor kicking in. I got a a video on how to easily bypass it on this baja warrior, it may or may not be the same on the mb200, I'm not sure. If you do start messing with the governor just make sure the bike is on a center stand or in some position that it can't take off on you if the throttle gets stuck open. :P

[@HRWWW]

you make really good videos man

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

The Colour, lol. Other then that, they are identical. I think the Baja Heat, Warrior, and Mini Baja are all identical except for the colour scheme, and the MB200 just has some extra plastic pieces and apparently a weird clutch hookup, but other then that seems to be the same.

[@TommyZTrains]

IOW with making a profit selling so many bike's, I ended up with my 2 bikes FREE. "that's it" ! I also remarked that mine "plain out" and only go so fast ... "I was just making conversation".

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I'm not sure, you might be able to find them online somewhere if you do some searching?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I doubt it, but you would have to talk to someone at a local motor vehicle license bureau to know for sure.

[@MrEurocontinentalCha]

Hi! Nice bike! I am planning buying this for myself? Is it decent size I'm a pretty tall guy. How tall are you?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

The stock clutches on these are pretty crappy and noisy. Probably just the clutch hanging in the friction zone not fully engaged or disengaged. I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@TheRealUyi its probably because its just a cheap centrifugal clutch on the bike? those always tend to make a lot of noise when they are in their friction zone before they fully engage.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Depends if you plan on modding it or leaving it stock. Stock they are pretty boring but they get pretty fun once you start modding them.

[@baileydonahue7314]

oh wow that sounds great i don care about the sounds and the tires arent really a problem cool

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@RSAPshow Hmm not that I know of... Perhaps there's just a difference between the Canadian version and American version?

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@horsemania1 Thanks! =-) Hmm, Just keep checking kijiji and stuff, I'm sure a cheaper used one will turn up sooner or later. :-)

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I have a couple jobs. I got hired on as a part time camera op for media services at the college I graduated from, I do freelance videography, I do freelance editing, and I work part time at a Canadian Tire. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

If you have a Princess Auto around you that's the only physical store I've ever seen torque converters in, here. Other then that you can order them online. I think there's ones at gokartsusa that are made to fit these so you don't have to drill holes or grind, but I've never seen one or bought from there so I have no idea if there any good.

[@Coderedseason]

So you have to take off the clutch plate and switch gear to 1 and also turn it 180 degrees instead of 2 gear and it will have a higher top speed

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Wow, sounds like yours has had a rough life.. I've never had any problems with these.

[@Thecarguy1254]

Actually the engine is a honda clone "Power Horse" engine from Northern Tools. Its a great engine, it has alot of torque even with the crappy original style clutch.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@bobchessy I guess thats pretty good then. Less then half price and the fixes seem like pretty easy fixes.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

Nice! Sounds like you got an actual brand name engine for it. If something were to break on mine I would probably just get another cheap Honda clone engine for it, like what they come with. The 6.5hp 196cc clones are usually around $89-$129 CAD depending on if they are on sale or not.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@bobchessy nice! although that sucks you got it in such rough shape.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@Jeffrey1135 Thanks! :D Ya they are pathetically slow in stock form, I could never keep it that way, that's Why I instantly started modding this one after the first ride. :P Although I don't find the foot pegs too far forward at all, I find forward pegs make it more comfy to ride. You just have to get used to it I guess. :P

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

@FateMan22 ya, it doesn't get much simpler then this. Just twist your wrist to go and squeeze the hand brake to stop, nothing else lol.

[@Dalton2541]

You seem to make good money seeing your house and truck/camper setup. Lol

[@incognito8448]

don't you have to be 700 pound twins to ride those?

[@jakem.5311]

that's cool does that light actually work?

[@aimeroni]

I just got two for christmas & the thing I hate about them is you can feel every bump.

[@MarcelsWorkshop]

I think I got my old one back in like 2006. The only real problems it has other then cosmetic damage is the front tire has a very slow leak and the break is really squeaky. :P So they last quite a while.

[@TommyZTrains]

VERY Kind of You, Thanks so MUCH !

[@killerx680]

i do and that is cool thanks for the toon up vids i have mine going about 48.5

[@icecapmedia7506]

Where can you get one of these nowadays? I've checked the Baja's website and the stores listed where you can apparently buy them no longer have them in stock.
