Trail Master MB200 Shock Upgrade ~ Mini Bike Monday

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

this may be a stupid suggestion as I'm sure you know this but you can adjust the stiffness of them shocks by turning that lower collar at the bottom of the spring you can see that little oval shape tab that is spot welded to the body of the shock and it's setting in a little groove well, when you turn that spring perch that has the grooves in it it pinches that spring tighter and makes for a stiffer shock. you could make the original set that came off of it super stiff with just a little bit of spring by turning that collar and it pinches that shock in on itself making it stiffer. Give me an indication you read this if you will like a thumbs up or something. Digging the show, I never miss an episode

[@timothyharrison9985]

Waiting to see the rest the gulf cart build I have one blowed engine see what problems come across so know what to expect

[@alexweston8137]

It looked like the shocks were helping get power to the ground better !!

[@ScooterPoot]

I was gonna say those mids are quite nice. I just got the mega moto 212cc, waiting on a my throttle body to come in. Might have to do fender eliminator to run exhaust.but this was nice to see. Thanks Red once again.

[@chesterjetton1077]

I like my pintos, cornbread and pork chops too.. your videos for the Healthy Man are so appreciated. I'm new at this suspension stuff, so straight up answers are awesome.

[@fan1701]

That engine sounds great.

[@jeremymenning56]

When your scientific method includes "a hot lap and jumping the driveway" you're doing life right.

[@HappyHands.]

I ordered the chrome ones, i wish i had ordered the black ones . they look so much better.

[@johnkoelliker4381]

I can't wait to see your mega-bike build. I plan on making a 212cc big wheel w/ swing arm out of a 200S and a 212 on a 185 ATC

[@johnkoelliker4381]

@@NckGarage The bikes and engines are either blown or incomplete.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

Great video, you can move the lower mount rearward to soften them a bit peace

[@thatstepbro3633]

Loving the new intro and MUSIC!!

[@ItsCreated]

If I ever get a mini bike this is the one to have. Sweet build. Just needs a bigger rear sprocket for more down low pwr!

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

P.S. there's a tool that grabs that lower spring perch collar that allows you to spin the collar and the little humps in that spring perch rest on that welded tab that's spot welded to the body of the shock and makes it stiffer. Sometimes when you buy those aftermarket reservoir shocks off eBay it comes with that tool. It's just a handle with a half circle that's as big around as your shock with a little nub sticking off of the end of it you hook the nub on that spring perch and twist and it rides in them little grooves to pinch that shock spring tighter or looser.

[@derrickconnerproductions6007]

U need go pros or cameras on the trees! More angleage 🤘

[@small-n-fun2061]

This thing is sweet! Can’t wait to see future episodes with this thing. By the way Red Beard, my youngest son Justin now calls drifting “Drift snot” obviously an adaptation of your “Rip Snot” lol love the channel!!

[@lucerofam5]

How could someone dislike this vid???

[@truestwarrior23]

How did you guys replace to the 12 inch shocks without happening to do a chain adjustment? My chain is hitting the frame every time with the 12 inch shocks. Is it because you stayed with the stock sprocket?

[@fatbuddycat]

My mb200-2 stock torque converter driver already gave up. Nothing a juggernaut won't fix!

[@ACEFDD]

Any thoughts on putting a chain tensioner on? If the tension is correct with the suspension unloaded then the chain is getting too tight when the suspension is compressed. If you land hard you'll likely end up breaking a chain.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We haven't had a problem with the chain. It gets looser as the suspension travels but it doesn't travel enough to kick it

[@mingusbreeze]

Thanks, it looks like a sharp mini bike.

[@timothyharrison9985]

I love that gas tank that trail master good job

[@SportbikerNZ]

Man that bike has some decent pep.

[@Grey_Beard72]

It looked like both aftermarket sets were super stiff. Maybe they will soften up some but I didn't see much movement with Red Beard on it. I didn't see any movement with Lonnie on it.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I know the video doesn't do it justice but they actually was really nice. I like a more firm ride that has some give to it and I think Lonnie would agree

[@bryduhbikeguy]

The last set had a 'give coil set in the middle'for the comfort,but allot of tight turns for stiffness.Sweet set for the trails you do.

[@Zzeke]

For a minibike, I really like the possibility of this being an adult size bike. The forks seem weak though, I've read elsewhere the same. Would you consider a fork swap? A set of custom triple clamps is all you'd need - and some donor forks.

[@Firebird_876]

@Red Beard's Garage One thing that I would suggest for Lonnie's trail master is build some sort of body to cover up the empty space on the frame where the engine is at.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We are getting a bigger gas tank that will make the bike look more full soon

[@dylanarioso3931]

You should make a tracked vehicle

[@samsgarage1716]

I need to put my mini bike together soon.I like go karts better but mini bikes are cool too.

[@rockcitymarco9186]

Real nice job gentleman

[@rockcitymarco9186]

Your the best bro

[@christianmarks431]

Love the build

[@bobh.8252]

Definitely want to pick up this Trail Master MB200. I would be using it for accessing my hunting spots - I would need to quiet it as much as possible, change out the sprocket for up hill climbs, and put on the heavy duty shocks. What would be your recommendation for a quiet muffler?

[@JVaughn344]

When you going to finish the EZ-GO golf cart? Would like to see it

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Next video on it will be out Friday

[@picturecd123]

Thanks for the very informative videos on this series of bikes

[@SB-fe4gt]

Does the chain rub on the pivot with the longer shocks...if yes, what is the fix?

[@quercusridge9527]

Trying to make a good decision on what bike to buy for the family. What is the ground to seat measurement on a stock Trailmaster MB200 Series 2 mini bike? Also, are the stock fenders plastic or metal?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Not sure on the measurements but the mb200 rides the best. Tons of power out of the box and just a great mini bike all around

[@KyzoFox]

I have the bt200x. And it's a great bike. Please do a vid to get more speed and torque out of it. I want to be able to go at least 30 MPH of the bt200x

[@kxlucifer]

They been doing that already..those things uses smiliar aftermarket parts as the the 212 beside the rod possibly

[@beco89inc50]

My bt200x goes 36 all day. No mods other then backing off the throttle screw and a torque converter from gopowersports.com. It still has the governor in aswell. Give me a shout if you have any questions!!

[@johnmartin3767]

I like the gas tank I think it looks cool

[@unprofessionalfarmers]

Would the bolts break from to much pressure if the shocks are too big

[@RedBeardsGarage]

No sir

[@unprofessionalfarmers]

Ok thanks

[@dominiquedavis9742]

Talking about power tho yes and shocks mid cause it looks harder to control

[@mlindsay527]

Any problems with the chain from the longer shocks?

[@adventureswithken1983]

Can you take the springs off of the shocks to paint them?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Yeah you can. Probably would have to use Plasti dip to make it hold up

[@DonovanBryant92]

My first mini bike had paint on the springs when i got it

[@pogonick55]

Dude 11:41 I was laughing so hard. Y'all keep killing it, I really love all the videos you put out and that bike seems to scoot along no matter the rider. She rips!

[@SDS-1]

Oh you can FEEL the 1inch😂😂 Good vid guys

[@GodschildinNC]

Are the shocks adjustable? It looked like they have the twist adjustment for ride hieght.

[@thatdude3977]

So the trailmaster mb200 is faster than the Coleman ct200-ex with everything stock?

[@unbigmacpourgignac8301]

What happened to the kingquad?? love that beast

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We still have it but its my step dads now. He wanted it for hunting

[@mrsideways4574]

You should do a big block trailmaster

[@kxlucifer]

I was thinking they need a 420 or 670 on one of the trailmasters

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Hmm. I wonder if it would be worth while to put a straight through glass pack on a mini bike...

[@andrewadams1428]

What kind of pipe is that and where could I get one.are those original genders?

[@lestergrayson3049]

Some of these need to be in 3D

[@STIX_FN.]

What church do you go too!

[@captainpegs0740]

Will a bigger engine fit in the bike? For the cost of upgrading the stock engine a person could just spend $250 on a 420cc.

[@sabrom]

I think you and Lonnie should do time trials to see who's the better, faster rider..weight shouldn't matter.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We did it a long time ago and he was just a tiny bit faster. It surprised me lol

looks like rewelding the lower shock mounts forward 3-4 inches could help new shocks soften up for more travel in rough terrain?
