Predator 212cc ATV Swap - Parts Needed and Extra I Added

[@Random.Adventures.]

great video. would be nice if you can make a vid on how to do it for 110cc frame with 212 motor but this vid does help for ideas

[@joshuagerlach6943]

Those are so cool. 212s been my daily driver for years before that it was flatheads. if I need to go into the city it’s 66cc

[@therenterias6993]

I’ve been really thinking about swapping the engine I have now for a new one and this video really helps me in making my decision now… I think I will go ahead and do it

[@KenyonWilliams-bc1ib]

What size sprocket on the front & back???

[@Y_ruba_al]

Rely appreciate this breakdown…….✊🏾

[@martinrico8890]

Thank you for the video it was helpful 👍🏽

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Glad it helped

[@ashleymartinez3137]

What's the teeth count on the sprocket on the red one?

[@DavidMartinez-uz2vf]

Do you have the link for 420 sprocket

[@KenyonWilliams-bc1ib]

I have the predator 212 I removed the governor I have the stage 1 Amazon carb.... what else should I do to the motor

[@kenbaker1353]

What if you get a quad that used to be driveshaft or the motor blows up and you want to do this swap? Would you still have the room to run a sprocket?

[@travis8173]

So if I have a carb that doesn’t come with the engine like an atv carb do I still need to put a throttle cable on the actual spot

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

If your running the predator 212 just route the cable in a way that the carb will function correctly. Everyone of these builds is different in some aspect, you can even modify the stock cable to work.

[@PrestonFrye]

Have u considered taking the governor out or is it alr out

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Took them out on both after the video.

[@kibamarasame5828]

So did you have a problem where it bogs out really bad? I’ve been building one and can’t quite figure it out. I’ve changed the jets and the idle idk what else to do

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Make sure your fuel lines are smooth so they are not too long or routed weird. Also check the throttle cable and make sure it doesn’t bind or hand anything in the way.

[@Jesse-iv8tn]

I know this video is old but how fast could you get these to go? I love the concept but with the torque converter and no transmission I can’t imagine they go super fast, I could be wrong though

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

About 50 mph with the gov delete

[@Jesse-iv8tn]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx appreciate it dude, also if you got the time what would you suggest for a rear sprocket, like teeth wise

[@edwinmaling1890]

How did you mount the rear sprockets to the axles? An adapter hub thing? Does the axle have a keyway? I’m trying to swap a 212 into a 86 Honda trx250 and it originally came with 520 chain and sprockets and I need to get 40/420 working so I can use a torque converter. Thanks

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

One has an aftermarket sprocket and the other I bought a blank sprocket and drilled holes to make custom fit to bolt pattern. Doing the blank and drilling cost maybe 20-30 bucks total and that is what I would recommend for your Honda.

[@josephcervantes6872]

Post a video on it.

[@oscarcasas1183]

Nice setups on the atv. How did you bolt down the seats on them?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

The mounts and clips for the seats are original factory ones that are on the frame.

[@mattcunningham2712]

What was the sprocket you bought for the black one I’m looking for one for mine it’s center whole is 1-7/16 do I need one exactly that or can I use one a little bigger and center it up and match or drill the little wholes

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

You can get a little bigger and just drill the holes to center. That's what I did

[@nixbar6546]

What is that big sprocket on the rear that holds the chain, is that linked in the description?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

That sprocket is a blank I bought from gopower and drilled to fit. It's a 420 sprocket.

[@nixbar6546]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx youre the 1st youtuber to actually reply fast and not in a week, thank you, I'm trying to do this with my atv because all the wires are junk and I just blew something off the engine so this would be better and faster than the Chinese engine

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

@@nixbar6546 for sure, the great thing about this swap is it eliminates all wiring which is nice.

[@nixbar6546]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx yep no wires is what I'm going for

[@nixbar6546]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx what do you have the chain hooked up to??

[@brandonwindell9874]

What tires did you use? You don’t have a link for them

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Link added

[@dj2faced]

Cool I’m gonna do mine

[@sploofy4878]

I got a 110 frame, loncin brand, would I have to weld or get a plate or could it just bolt right on, also what sprocket would be good for speed and launch

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Either one as long as the motor will sit even and run the chain straight. For the sprocket get a blank and drill to fit for a 420 chain.

[@sploofy4878]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx also I have another frame but the sprocket is on the opposite side, i need it to be on the other side for the shaft to line up with it. how would i switch it

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

@@sploofy4878 in that situation you would need to run a jack shaft. There's some videos on KZbin with people that have done it.

[@sgsavage1909]

what’s the frame called of the black one?

[@dirtydansykes]

Can you post a link to the tires? I’m having trouble finding what I want and yours look perfect. What size are they?

Link added

[@PrestonFrye]

i put the engine on the polaris 90 , and it only goes in reverse lol i havent done anything to it yet so what do i do

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

These engines are designed to go one way only. Which way is the engine facing?

[@prestonfrye2014]

To the right side

[@JosephPananyan]

what chain and sprocket sizes do i need to buy for it to fit?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Two sizes that people usually run are 420 and 428 just make sure the chain and sprocket match. These are 420 chain and sprockets.

[@Tyler-vf2ge]

What mounts were used? Not sure which mounts will and wont work

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Use a steel plate or bars and drill to fit…bolts can come from any hardware store

[@Tyler-vf2ge]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx how did you make the seat go on without the body?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

@@Tyler-vf2ge the seat doesn’t need the body only the front mount and the rear clips in.

[@DatHondaBoi223]

Did you custom make that long swingarm? Or is that a stock one? My frame has a super short wheelbase it’s a coolster 110

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

The guy I bought the frame from had made it. The long wheelbase is nice and handles really well.

[@anthonychancellor2613]

Should try to use the original tank so the seat fits right and makes it look less clusters ducked😅

[@kibamarasame5828]

I can’t find a sprocket for mine do you have a link ?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Go power sports in Keller Texas can ship a blank with the amount of teeth you want. Then you can drill to fit your axle.

[@MOE13576]

I did the same thing. Video is on my other channel that I no longer have access to(lost YT password)

[@doinstuffwithceejay6657]

Nice explanation vid thanks

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Glad it helped

[@Dat_dude_lonzo]

Should make a video of u making one

[@-Swagboywedo]

What type of amount plate did u use?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Steel motor mount plate off Amazon for one and steel bars with holes drilled for the other one. You can make what ever you need to mount the engine as long as it's solid and straight.

[@juandavila1639]

Can you use the same sprocket from the factory Chinese four-wheeler

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Yes depending on the tooth count and configuration your trying to run. Keep in mind a lot of the torque converter kits are for 420 chains.

[@destinyrivas105]

Can you add everything to buy directly to Amazon please

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Hello, all the links are in the description. Is there a part missing that you need?

[@destinyrivas105]

@@Alpha-Works-Tx hi sorry I just seen it I have roketa 250 atv frame I’m putt 212 predator what type of sprocket would you recommend

[@destinyrivas105]

Where can I get the sprocket that would fit 250 atv ????

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

@@destinyrivas105 I would buy a blank sprocket and drill the holes to fit what you have. Measure your axle diameter so the center of the sprocket will fit. Another option is to determine what chain you already have because your stock sprocket may work already.

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

@@destinyrivas105 Also, to purchase you can look at Amazon and gopowersports.com

[@stuttgurth]

Didn’t see if you posted but how quick will they go?

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

I used a GPS app on the phone and got around 37-40 mph. This was not pinned or giving it all they had either.
