Bought one of these because of you guys lol! I’ve been working on perfecting my build, I’ve done a few things with it sofar just an air intake carb jet upgrade gov screw removed and ziptie trick and I’m topping out at 33-34 mph. Next up I wanna remove the actual gov and put on one of these sprockets. At some point I straight chained it and topped out at 54 mph that was fun until the chain snapped😂 so I just went back to the regular jackshaft and she runs fine again. Definitely recommend for any beginner I went into this with zero experience and have learned so much just on my own let alone what y’all have taught me through these weeks! Keep putting mini bike vids out!

Huge difference with that sprocket swap!! The ziptie trick is the first thing i do to an engine, never had a problem. The way i do it, i cut the head off of one zip tie and put it on the other zip tie. That way its somewhat adjustable( you dont have to tighten it all the way). You can do it that way without removing the tank by feeding the ziptie from the carb side.

can also play games with where the springs are located on the arms, or different weight springs, or alter the springs length. totally recommend spending the 30 bucks for a mini tach to know what you're getting with changes. edit: IMHO, better to have the governor in place working about 44-4500 RPM, with a stock mill that's a bit to the high side as a reminder "hey back off a little!".

Hi Red Beard. I tried the zip tie trick on the spring and gained 5mph. From 25 mph to 30. Would only do 20 out of the box and then backed that screw out that stops the throttle and got it to 25. My neighbor has a Honda trail 70 with a speedo and said his said 28 when I was at top speed.I'm using this SpeedTracker app. I wanna go riding with him right now but he's not home and i can't wait cause I have that performance up grade from Go Power Sports and I'm putting it on today. Thanks for the code and the 10%. I also picked up the muffler. I;m gonna test it for top speed with and without it but for just riding around my neighbor hood after work, a typical suburb 5 miles north of Detroit, and I don't need unhappy neighbors.

The reason for the camo being a bit slower is, the cellphone has a cloaking program that takes just a smigen of electrical energy. Therefore when it goes into the cloak the human body picks up another pound or two, thus slowing the bike. Other things is the bike cloaker weighs about 23 pounds not cloaked, and when cloaked older cloaker clog the cloak filter, thus adding a few pounds. But, after my research, I can't really found a friggin reason for its slower mode, unless one of you is rather well endowed in the body parts and adds some weight.

Cool video. It's always fun to get more speed. I used to ride minibikes but that was 40 years ago. Now I have electric mountain-bikes which are actually pretty cool. You can usually add an extra battery to up the voltage and get more speed. I like the kits because you can change parts like the motor controller to handle the extra voltage and current. Also, I swear by 12AH deep-cycle SLA batteries (like Powersonic, for example) because they are easy to deal with (simple charger, no balancer), fairly inexpensive and lots of power... But they are heavy, so you always have to figure out a way to mount them mid-frame. 1/2" plywood and Gorilla tape works for me. The rear hub-motor never burns out, so you can run a 36V motor at 48V or 60V, (if you are crazy enough :-). Just make sure to have good knobby tires:and V-brakes for your mountain bike. -) But, seriously, I usually just ride my bike at 36V because it gets me to the store and back with no problems. :-)

I've never heard of the zip tie trick. I feel a little dumb now for spending an hour making a new linkage instead of taking 3 minutes to zip tie the spring. I may put the stock setup back on and do the zip tie trick since my custom linkage has stuck wide open on me a couple of times. I'm also going to do a 60T sprocket now instead of saving up for the torque converter. I think that will suit my needs just fine, and the clutch seems like its holding up pretty well. I don't think I'll mind going a lil slower since its borderline scary fast on the trails right now.

On a 18” tire with the 72tooth sprocket Can it hit the ground from leaning?
@alhodge40516 жыл бұрын
great video, if I change to the larger sprocket will I have to change the chain??
@icebrgslimm24274 жыл бұрын
What happens if I just change the sprocket to a 60, do I need to make your other modifications to feel the difference from stock.

Hi Redbeard . I am a big guy like yourself. For slow speed trail riding,.. 60 tooth on a brand new one? As the 1st mod.? Even before the governor? Not interested in top speed. I am concerned with the clutch and hills . Thanks

I don't like the stock chain or sprocket if I don't add a torque converter but just add the new sprocket could I keep life long still for the engine doing that ?

I like your videos shout from Puerto Rico where off roading is a big thing. Can you do a video on proper maintenance of the Coleman CT200U ex? I’m new to this and got that mini bike as a Christmas present from myself to my self. Yet don’t know much about this.
