Coleman CT200U-EX Performance Parts ~ Mini Bike Monday

Today we put the performance parts on the Coleman CT200U-EX. Letting that throttle screw out and the performance parts make a huge difference. I highly recommend this kit. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe.

[@cameronwallace8687]

Had a drunk campfire talk about these little Coleman bikes over the weekend, found your videos and bought one a few hours later. This is gonna be fun

[@ethanh3421]

Basically how I got mine too

[@cameronwallace8687]

Went great, got a CT200U EX and slapped a Chinese torque converter on it. Great for rippin around downtown

[@irondiver292]

@@cameronwallace8687 thank you

[@MrJ183]

Google always spyin 😂🤦‍♂️😐

[@bignateesquire]

Got a deal on one and after a couple beers, closed the deal! Love it...

[@trippypewpew420]

I bought my first bike today! It’s the Coleman!! I was actually surprised by how easy these things are to ride

[@RedBeardsGarage]

There a great time for sure!

[@live2hunt717]

Just got my CT200U-EX put together today. Took the initial test ride and said that will never do. Grabbed my screwdriver and could not move the throttle screw. I took the air filter off and the throttle screw was welded in place. I cut the screw off and got 27 MPH out of it. Wow what a difference. Going to try the zip tie trick next. I see a Go Powersports order in the near future.

[@therealming0]

What specific kinds of gas and oil does the Coleman use ?

[@canyontanner4736]

​@@therealming010w30 motor oil. 90 0ctane or higher gasoline

[@laverncarroll]

You guys are doing enough technical stuff, i'm sure it's helping a lot of people. Great job guys

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel

[@brutallyhonestmf5578]

New models have a welded screw and a fixed jet. You will need to cut the screw and use an extractor to remove the stock jet. Great video guys.

[@DavidSmith-sv9tm]

RCLegion just hammerd a flat head in to it came right out

[@trentonstroud1721]

i got 30mph with just bypassing the goviner with no engine upgrades love your vids keep up the awesome builds!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I think we are going to mess with the governor spring before we remove it. Just to experiment

[@johnmartin560]

I look forward to this series every Monday. Your basically exactly where I am with mods now; except that I bypassed the governor completely by making a new throttle linkage. I only use mine off road so the K&N style filter was a no-go for me. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how well they will run with a stock intake ported to the max. I only wish they made a Uni filter for the stock air box so I could get rid of the paper filter.

[@lancetrawick6699]

Found you two weeks ago Picked up 3 yesterday can’t wait to start my upgrades!!! Thanks so much for your channel I love all the mini bike stuff!!!

[@michaelhull5111]

I got me a ct200uex frame, was going to build with a 420cc predator. But changed my mind to 212cc due to budget but when I'm done hopefully I can get a desired 50-60mph out of it

[@nathanialhulsey6900]

My suspension would pop back all the way so I just opened it up and stuck a bolt on top with two thick lockwashers and it works perfect now. Way better for offroad

[@dirkoltmann8935]

Thanks so much. Bought a CT last week and been smiling since.

[@dallanc.3368]

Red Beard, can you do a video of switching out the head light for an led light? The first thing I noticed at night was how bad the light sucked. Also, maybe you could add a battery that is charged by the magnetic coils. That would be a sweet set up for us night riders.

[@apsdoh]

Great vid, can't wait to see the torque converter upgrade!

[@dougsmith2954]

I've got a brand new CT200U, less than two tanks of gas through it, oil changed twice, carefully broke-in, never been wet, always kept inside, never dropped, and absolutely perfect for $400. I'm in N.W.Ga if you know anyone interested. Thanks, Doug

[@nicholasbragg8340]

Doug Smith or you could get a new one for the same price

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

Big red got some air..so sick...you motivate me to go outside and work on my karts...keep up the good work...Go-karts or Gone Fishin out✌

[@FireAndGasoline]

Looks like it made quite a bit of difference in torque. A little more speed and Lonnie could clear that driveway! Before anything i stick a ziptie in the governor spring, cut the head off of one and put it on another. It took the baja warrior from 22mph to 33mph.

[@FireAndGasoline]

By the way just got my chain break today, its awesome!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Those chain breaks are a must have for go karts and mini bikes. Thanks for watching man.

[@donovanjagroop902]

Spino_ Slayer same here would like to know

[@earnestchriswell1297]

Red Beard's Garage what the best motor swap for one those without having to do any weld I thinking of a predator 420

[@stonefox6224]

been wanting to add a QUALITY off road minibike to my toy box for sometime now. gonna pull the trigger on one soon, but wasn't sure wich brand,make,model, but I think this settles it for me the Coleman's are great either one. as an avid bowhunter I love the Camo but the racks would be very useful on the red one but I see one of these two in my near future. Thanks for the great video

[@ericzerkle5214]

Mines a Baja Heat and i installed a Pred 212 and aftermarket tailpipe (no muffler, straight pipe!) and aftermarket air cleaner and it rocks!! Im over 200 lbs and it really scoots!!!!

[@SteelandBone]

I've found his videos the most useful for working on my 212 mini bike. Great format and awesome tips! Fun videos too!

[@ricochetey]

Those things haul now and lonnie got sum sweet air

[@TheCrazedMexican.]

Dayum the days gone trailer be looking good

[@TimZ007]

Put a Zip tie in the spring between the governor arm and the Carb. This will give you about 4500 rpms without touching the governor. If your light on the throttle you can feel it pull against your throttle but you can over power it and gain more revs. Also help with clutch slippage. Basically free mod. Dont even have to take the tank off. I usually just lightly wrap the spring with the zip tie. If its to tight you risk opening the bends on the end of the sping if you pull to much throttle. I have also taken off tank and replace this sping with a solid rod to a better effect but i find the zip tie works just as good and is easier.

[@connorutegg2486]

I get mine tomorrow I'm extremely excited

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Your going to love it

[@rncboy2]

You can move holes on the governer arm with the spring going to the carb and raise your rpm as well up to 4800rpm is max ive seen someone get one to go too

[@kaylapearcey2527]

I got this RPM with just cutting a few coils out of the return spring. Nice part of cutting the spring is you can lower the RPM back down by adjusting the screw back in.

[@Odin31b]

Make a video!

[@rncboy2]

@@Odin31b I personally dont run them anymore. I have a engine with one still together and working in the engine if I have the time I will. It's more or so one of those things you have to play with yourself. Each engine will be set up slightly different where the arm with the spring to the arm off of the gov shaft that runs through the block pushing on the gear to add rotating mass to slow the crankshaft up when the arms on the gear fly outward and some more things I cant personally think of at the moment. Sorry buddy it's been a fairly long day at work today. Anyways you can also use a stiffer spring to change or adjust it. If you remove the governor and dont want to use a throttle stop screw on the OEM throttle setup you can play with the timing and jetting to adjust the max rpm it will go under load. Without load will be different it typically when free revving it will go to a much much higher rpm.

[@crypto_creep8222]

Going to buy the camo one tomorrow, u guys got me hooked, im also going to deck the motor right out.

[@tmonster1498]

Love your videos!! Great how you explain everything in depth and crystal clear!!

[@akustaka]

"As you can see, it bogs on the hill." GEE, I WONDER WHY.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Probably because im fat. Your a good spectator

[@akustaka]

Still love the videos either way

[@dusty9961]

He red beard can one of them hold me im 270

[@adammcewen3224]

We installed the performance kit today, however everything didn’t go as planned. The jet in the carb wasn’t slotted and the carb screw couldn’t be backed out. I’m guessing these items are intentional due to strict California smog laws where the bike was bought. Other than that, the kit was great and the bike has that straight pipe Harley cackle to it now. Your video definitely helped.

[@liecheatdelete5620]

I Just Ordered Mine. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@FreedomMusicYT]

Can you give me a list of all the parts you got?

[@marknelson526]

Never mind my last comment I found it in the links thank u guys so much u are awesome so glad I found ur video I been trying to find this stuff forever

[@Atv821]

I put a predator and tav-34 torque converter on a CT200U-EX and my Baja warrior MB200. It is by far the best setup, and I can creep up steep hills with tons of torque or do 45 down the road. Getting the tav34 to fit on the 200U-EX required cutting/welding of the frame to install without engine mount risers though.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

These engines have a small 5/8" output shaft. Thats why we said in the video that go power sports is developing one for it.

[@ButlerBuilt]

Have you seen the 5/8 to 3/4 shaft adapters on ebay? Theyre like 10 bucks. And the plate does have to be trimmed some to fit the frame.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

The only thing about that is the key is made in the drive pulley on a cvt. It wouldn't be long enough to fully go into the crank shaft

[@Matthew-tu1xj]

I wish the Coleman ex had racks it would be a beast bylut I got the red one so I love the racks your awesome keep up the vids

[@WintersMachining]

I agree 100%

[@waltershoults7132]

Nice build RB !! Torque and breakout force increased a ton ! Great looking little bike y'all built 🙏👀👍

[@HTHCLLC]

Greg, look into a larger low speed jet. I bumped mine up from a 16 (stock) to a 22. fattened up the bottom end and helped the mid range a noticeable amount. Changing just the main jet makes the idle/off idle run lean.

[@pogonick55]

Nice job Red and Lonnie. Them little bikes are definitely powerful

[@hunterpetrovich5036]

I did the zip tie governer bypass Trick with out removing the gas tank on my baha warrior

[@nightmover68]

EXPAIN PLEASE... THATS WHAT I NEED, MORE SPEED IN MY LIFE

[@drericsoltanoff7753]

it was fun watching you guys! Definetely getting one and the kit. Make that... getting two!...to have an additional mini bike for a buddy to ride with!!!

[@ohwell2790]

You guys just have way to much fun!

[@ShoKxFLeeK]

Love everything about this channel!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thanks man

[@joshuawehrwein9745]

Those red beard stickers are awesome.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

You need one lol

[@ryansimpson8447]

Waiting on this CVT y'all are always speaking of!

[@garettbodel3002]

Riding in the mud I have a fix for that mr. Red beard. I watched all of that. Add it's cuz of the space between the tires. So the new bike is awesome and everything but it's too short. You need to have the calm and red one with the front end that the new Coleman as the hydraulic shocks. And there you go. I think that's what I'm going to do eventually

[@bugbomb8048]

I’m going to go fix a sandwich and I’ll be back to finish this top notch video

[@JEMYSTICAL]

I LIKE HOW YOU KEEP UR NICE GINGER BEARD SO NEAT..!!! LEARNED A LOT FROM YOUR VID..

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Thanks for watching man.

[@youversionyoutuber4112]

Buying one of these for my boys,we have a Suzuki 125 dB,and a 200 Polaris 4wheeler,I think this will be awesome and keep up easily with the upgrade on trails,my youngest is 80lbs btw

[@MrTuttman]

once more man cool video. I saw that front tire come up after the mods when you took off.

[@omggunner9777]

That was a really fast motorcycle I loved it.

[@daconodad474]

Thanks got the last one at tractor supply discounted cuz the mice chewed on some of the wires . Gonna have fun ride n durning corona safer at home time .

[@mr.shanno6245]

You guys are funnier than hell! Good stuff guy's.

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Hey RBG. Those bikes seem a lot faster. I just can't imagine what happens when you take out that governor. I will stay tuned as usual. Thanks

[@RodicaCatona]

Well if you take out the governor that's bad for the motor and it will not start my brother did that and it never started so he sold it just to let you know

[@bultacowally]

hey red beard you have to keep in mind you are carrying twice the weight as you pal string bean there...makes a huge difference too

[@chaosofpeace5150]

Older post but the white choke lever has a cylindrical protrusion with no apparent use.....u shove it into the hole of the gas line after unplugging it (while its clamped with pliers) from the carb

[@sandman2706]

Thanks for the entertaining videos and helpful tutorials. Using some of your tips and suggestions I built a pretty sweet go kart. Yesterday I took it out mudding and had a blast. Maybe a video on how you keep your karts and bikes clean? Especially the engines?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I may do that soon. Thanks for watching man

[@Trains_n_stuff08]

I just love the sound of these mini bikes,

[@jeepcollector91]

Great video. Looked like you guys had fun making it.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+JeepCollector91 oh yeah

[@FastLaneLyfe]

That's too much power for Lonny. Lol. I guess Lonny doesn't wear shorts anymore because he would have soiled them on that beast

[@CrushingBass]

Love seeing you guys have fun on these things! Great video, looking forward to the next one :)

[@kartingkid714]

RBG for life🔥🔥🔥

[@medicatedmotivations5711]

Best explanation

[@medicatedmotivations5711]

To this day

[@03flhtcui]

Looks like you guys were having way too much fun! Good video...oh and the jazzy saxophone sex music was also a nice touch! LOL!

[@elijahconnolly5528]

so if i buy the ct200u ex and take the throttle screw out and put the performance parts on it that should be good for riding on gravel roads right?....ps. im new to mini bikes.

[@bananasrotate7821]

Totally! It would already be great for that anyways.

[@Super_Mario_Fpv]

Literally why am I not dabbling with these? Load 2 of them on the taco and go

[@jakebrumley7550]

I got one of these and rip it around the dessert. Still stock but fun

[@wrongturnarchery2337]

These to kids left school one day an never came back but also never changed lol

[@grandprismatic]

I would make a skidplate one rock and your done to the case. It will also strengthen the chassis

[@DeCaYsF]

Just got mine. It’s great !

[@100fredkrueger]

I weigh about 180 and mine goes up hills fine. It’s actually pretty darn fast at it. I think your exceeding the weight limit by about 50 pounds. Not trying to sound mean by that so don’t take it the wrong way. I would like to get mine up to about 30mph if I could. I don’t want to add any parts though. But for now it’s still a blast to ride.

[@sargothi]

At over 300lbs the 72 sprocket made it great for me

[@nathanbeers6427]

You should put one f those clutches you can shift with

[@dmcbuilds1891]

I have a Baja mb200 which is pretty much the same as the ct200u-ex I put a torque converter on it n it doubles the top end speed

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Oh i know sir. I can't wait to get ours on them.

[@spyropyro3159]

Great video as allways!

[@stephenc3548]

Yet again another amazing video

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I appreciate that man.

How do you not have more subscribers I am literally glued to your videos

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I guess KZbin hasn't really pushed my channel yet. Hopefully soon

[@stephenc3548]

I hope so to you deserve way more subscribers you have to be putting in a hell of alot of work for these videos to be this good your videos are so long and interesting it's like watching a 1 hour season premier haha

[@stayboosted1966]

Pretty sure your weight made the biggest difference no shit it couldn’t make it up a hill it’s not rated for over 300lb and your a big man, that’s not a bad thing u sound nice

sick bikes 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@samandnia]

Hey man. Great vid. It appears my jett, 5:48 has a screw that can't be backed out. Like a one direction screw. How do I get it out? Also, my kit that ordered did not come with the new emulsion tube. Thanks.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

You don't need the emulsion tube and its really hard to get that jet out. I will try and do a video on it soon sir

[@frankydeeze2394]

Red Beard's Garage I have a 2019 model. The screw on the Jett is shaved off so you can back it out with a screwdriver. Also the throttle screw is soldered on so you can’t adjust it either. I grinded the screw off but can’t get the jet out.

[@archiebrock6519]

You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

Did the same thing to mine. Have a tav2 video coming for it soon too.

[@kingavegarage8722]

Speed part beauty shots! Didn't take long for upgrades to the minis. Any more trouble from your neighbor? Made me think when Lonnie and you were riding between the houses.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

No they actually been pretty nice lately. Must have had a bad day when she cursed me out lol

Thats good to hear!

[@worleyracingproductions1755]

That Thing was weak as all get out in the beginning lol

[@joshuawehrwein9745]

I really do

[@archgaming2264]

Since the two rides weigh different then then the lighter one would go faster, switch bikes and test if it’s just the weight diffrence

[@corywilliams7522]

Should turn the ex into a trike that would be sick in the trails and you could up the suspension

[@Cootbusters2022]

Anyone wondering how they are for size I’m 6’5 and I fit extremely comfortable on these and I don’t have to hunch over

[@inshoreartistt]

I was wondering that myself. Which one do you have ? Are the bars the same height on both models?

[@vtkidd8297]

Bet thanks bro I wanted one really bad and now I know it’s big on me but that’s good

[@06cummins41]

I like the video red 👍🏼

[@lithiumfire9693]

Full pull up the the jump, see if u can clear it

[@benjaminbailey7429]

Awesome video as always. How much louder is the go power sports exhaust as compared to the stock muffler? Got some old timers in my area and don't wanna piss em off or do I?? Lol

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Its pretty loud. Really loud actually lol.

[@lincoln03]

too bad the Coleman ct200u EX does it have any racks that would be awesome if it did

[@kellyth3man]

How about putting a "springer" seat on the EX for a little more comfort while riding?

[@backyardkarts9554]

thats a good idea, i wonder if that would work on a go kart with no suspension

[@Seniornuggets]

BackYard Karts the point of a springer seat is for comfort on a bike with no suspension. The springs under the seat become suspension for youe body, as to not destroy your back on hard bumps

[@backyardkarts9554]

but would it work for my go kart?

[@johnmartin560]

I agree Kelly Best. When my EX was slow the lack of rear suspension wasn't so bad, now it can be downright brutal. It looks like it would be fairly easy to add springs under the stock seat.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We have actually already planned on that lol. Thanks for watching and the input man

[@JoePinOrl]

Awesome content, love it!!

[@Farmtractor]

What’s funny is in the review that you did originally before you said it had a lot of power, but now you’re saying that it has no power. I think it is fine just how it is originally but I’m not trying to be mean just saying.

[@FordGTmaniac]

Have you seen Vanguard's 37hp EFI v-twin? That thing's gotta be a torque monster. What do you think about using it on a go kart or mini bike?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

It would be awesome but you would have to make a jackshaft setup. They have a 1 1/8" shaft

[@Back.yard.stunts]

The fact that this thing was hauling him up that steep ass drive way with next to no problem stock is why I want this thing lol. One question tho, how does this thing compare to the massimo mb200 interested cuz I’m lookin and the massimo is nearly 1k where as the Coleman ct200-X is 800.

Dear red beard I love your vids my friend got the red one from Wal-Mart and a week later I got the camo one from tractor supply his sprocket broke in half so he's getting a 12 tooth sprocket and I'm getting a stage 4 race kit and I don't know a lot about engines but your videos make it seem a lot easier I was wounduring if you ould put a stage 4 kit they say it will go from 6hp to 13ph please respond it would mean the world

[@hammerfistfightclub]

Random generator jus sitting on the edge of the yard..lol

[@sittinlow6787]

Dear red beard. Could u use a 12 volt computer fan as a small engine turbo by mounting it on the air box

[@RedBeardsGarage]

It would make a super small difference. I don't think it is worth the effort to be honest

[@sittinlow6787]

Red Beard's Garage would be cool tho

[@1mu9st6ang5]

Kart Kid It would do more to restrict the air flow than to actually help it. It might turn 100-200 rpms. Turbos spin 80K+ rpms...

[@robertomoreno5526]

So what is the name of that same exhaust pip with that muffler adaptor. I real need one for my camo . Please reply with the info of it . Thanks have a great day .

[@cardboardguy1444]

You can find it on gopowersports

[@hampton1715]

Please get rid of that jack shaft and throw on a torque converter you'll get way more top speed.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We like riding these in the woods. Top speed really isn't our goal on these bikes. We will have a street mini bike soon.

[@abelbaeza2873]

+Red Beard's Garage yeah i was thinking the same thing, the gear ratio is terrible. not sure if you will have to make new mounting holes or not, but its worth it

[@abelbaeza2873]

+Red Beard's Garage also not sure if you've been watching Carsandcameras channel lately but Ike scored 2 Coleman minibikes , and 1 baja warrior really cheap because one of Ike's friends had 6 of them for free because they had factory defects

[@hampton1715]

Thanks for your response I understand what you mean. And now I can't wait for a street mini bike that would be cool. Oh and I have to ask you something, have you ever tried a 3D manual clutch on a mini bike,go kart if not you should try one out it works just like a motorcycle clutch and mounts to a predator but the only catch is it doesn't shift gears. But I think you would like it. Anyway another awesome video keep up the great work!

[@GaryntaraBurbank]

Nick H i changed my Baja warrior 200cc trail bike to a belt drive and I turned the governor all the way up and it made it twice as fast I topped out at 65/70 I put blinkers on it and I wrote the numbers on the goose neck down went to the secretary of state and I got a moped sticker for it and I got it street legal so I could go riding with my cousin on his Kawasaki ninja 250 and a friend of ours on his Honda grom 125
