How to Ajust the Brakes, Throttle, and Idle. RT100 Coleman Mini Bike

[@shanevinson2037]

I just assembled mine about a hour ago. Your video was the first one to pop up and it's easy to see why. Great tips bro 👍

[@GrayHairedDad]

Thank you for watching.

[@TheAkelius]

Very helpful video. Made everything easy. Gratitude!

[@GodBreathed77]

Still coming back to this lol. Great video and thanks

[@HeyImSkandelouz]

Thanks this video helped me out a bunch it’s so complicated to do the brakes on these things

[@lewrosenbloom930]

Thanks so much for this video. My neighbor and I bought these for our boys 2 years ago. Immediately had to change out the spark plugs because of stalling issues. We were/are both experiencing brake issues, so I'm hopeful that your tip that wasn't in the manual will do the trick. 2 years ago I couldn't find any advice. I do fear that b/c of the way it was shipped, and with the tinkering we did, the brake pads might be worn down. Not looking forward to trying to figure out how to swap them out!

I just bought one for my son and the pull start is too hard for him to pull and get it started, is there a way to loosen it?

[@slyvesterstephens3856]

When I squeeze on the break handle it doesn't work and the bike doesn't stop is this the way to fix it or is it another way?

[@marccherubin7151]

How do I adjust the throttle cable soda by keeps moving in doesn’t make the sound light it’s not giving power it’s like giving power, but only staying in that part is I don’t

[@chungyonyt2477]

Do one on how to take left handle grip off please

[@voithy8351]

The issue with mine is it stays full throttle. Screw on the carburetor is capped off for me and the only thing that helps is if I use a zip tie on the Governor lever but that only does so much. I’m only getting like 20% throttle when I twist it so it’s really just idle speed when I ride it

[@GrayHairedDad]

Strange. Maybe the throttle cable is loose.

[@saddan0227]

Ok so I bought this bike 2 days ago and today I was riding and the chain came off so I took the side cover off and put the chain back on tightened it and lubed the clutch for the first time (only ridden twice). When I put the side cover back on its rubbing on the clutch like the circle thing and when i roll it, it rubs, a little. Do you thing its a big deal or should it be fine or do i just take the clutch cover off?

[@GrayHairedDad]

You can take it off but I it helps keep dusk and dirt out. The cover should be slotted so you can ajust it before tighten it all the way down.

[@FALLOUT450]

Hi, this was a really helpful video! I have another problem though, the brake cable on my minibike keeps coming loose and I can't brake. Do you know how I could fix this?

[@GrayHairedDad]

Is the bolt that holds the cable coming lose?

[@ameerparker248]

I’m missing my Brake Caliper Support any ideas?

[@otxkrnfx712]

hey man got one quesrtion i know this vidfeo is old but awseome tips but mine it wont stay on like i have to lift up the back wheel and pull to keep it on but if i have it lifted up it will already move with out pushing the trottle and i wanna know why

[@GrayHairedDad]

Check the idle and make sure it's turned up enough.

[@danielkennedy9152]

I just got one for my son and the throttle gets tight about half way through twisting and it wont come back on its own i have to twist it to slow down im afraid my son will wreck his

[@jacobsmartialarts]

Mines leaking oil from the black box at the rear of the bike for some reason

[@luiscavazos3259]

How can I adjust the slag in the throttle like when I twist the throttle on my bike it has slack and I have to twist harder like how do I get quicker throttle response

[@GrayHairedDad]

I can make a video on it. Let me know if you would like met to. The trottle cable just needs to be tighten.

[@janinemarie631]

Hey I have the cc100x and it starts right up always and will ride but after about 10 Mins of flying its still starts but dies when I turn the handle to hard? Great videos thanks

[@GrayHairedDad]

Probably a loose connection with kill switch

Hey mate! That idle thing? I've been afriad to figure it out myself and after like 10 videos I found urs and it I helped lol can't believe it was that easy thanks mate

Great information! We just got the real tree Coleman 100 out of the box last night. I know nothing about small engines. Serviced it, started it, and it has a small rattle what seems to come and go around the pull rope area? Any ideas? Haven’t gave it to the grandson yet. Just wonder if I could find out about the come and go rattle? Thanks again, Ronnie

[@GrayHairedDad]

It's the clutch. This sound is normal on them. Just be sure to oil it regularly.

man they should pay you for all this info your helping everyone with😂... how do we bypass the gov on this specific bike? i have the same one and there’s no vids on it

[@GrayHairedDad]

I appreciate it. Screwing the silver screw all the way out will remove the limit of the governor. Now if you want to remove the governor on the inside of the motor at involve the complete tear apart of the motor and is is not save to do. I would recommend putting a torque converter on it before you do that.

Good video.strait to the point.now that you have had the bike do you reccomend it?.i have a 9 year old with expierence riding.im thinking of buying one.im very mechanicly inclined.is it holding up? Easy start? Can i swap out with a preditor motor in the future without too much mods?

[@GrayHairedDad]

My kids are 6 and 8 and they love them. For the price you can't beat it. They have laid it down and beat them up good but they still run strong so yes I would recommend them. Harbor Freight has a Predator that you can replace it with. No modification needed. You can't beat it for the money. With all that being said I do have to say that the centrifugal clutch on these suck. You have to oil them regularly and if you do not they will squeal and or shut the motor down. I plan I replacing them with better ones soon. That is my only complaint. I have the Coleman 200U and I did the Torque converter swap and that thing is a beast tons of fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HLq4qMf9R1iMk

@@GrayHairedDad did you ever end up replacing the clutch? I’m buying one for my 8 year old daughter and I’d rather upgrade and have her help do the work to save headache in the future.

[@GrayHairedDad]

No. I contacted Coleman and they sent me new clutches to have for back up. You can buy aftermarket but I have found that if you oil them after each ride they hold up good.

[@gamingclipz026]

For the screw that stops the throttle, can you just take the whole screw out? great video btw.

Thank you. Yes you can take it all the way out. I have removed it from all of ours.

Throttle works but bike will not rev up or move, what's going on?

[@GrayHairedDad]

Sometimes the rubber handle/throttle starts slipping. With the machine try pulling the trottle/handle and see if the throttle cable moves down by the engine. If it does not then the rubber handle came unglued and needs to be pulled off and glued.

Lots of things. You could add a bigger motor and add a torque converter but it would cost or you could change the back sprocket out for a smaller one to gain speed but you would lose torque/power.
