Trailmaster MB200-2! 👍😎 Uncrate, Prep, Test Ride, First Impressions [4K]

I finally got around to putting together the Trailmaster MB200-2 full suspension mini bike. In this vid: showing un-crating, prepping, first short test ride, and initial impressions.
* I tried the CT200U-EX front axle washers and they were too wide, I went to hardware store and I think it was 5/8" 18ga washers that fit. I got a few different widths. I took the axle with me to make sure they fit. I'd recommend doing that, probably not good to have the forks cinched down that much.

I just LOVE this Mini Bike it rides so smooth on and off road😇

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah even from factory no mods it’s a nice bike

[@thehappyhermit01]

I bought mine at a local dealer so I didn't have to hassle with assembly and making sure everything was done correctly. Will be firing it up and draining the oil and replacing with a higher quality oil. Taking it out to AZ soon for fun in the desert. The only mod I plan on making is swapping out the 46t sprocket for a 60t and a longer, high quality chain. I'll back out the screw to give a little more throttle response, also. Want to keep it mostly stock, but love watching these vids. Thanks, man!

[@bwxmoto]

Thanks. That’s cool. I’d still go over all the nuts and bolts! Yeah a 60t will wake it up quite a bit. It’s a fun bike and will be good set up like you plan. Might want a chain tensioner though. Might be ok, but if you have issues with chain that’s pretty common.

[@bwxmoto]

@@thehappyhermit01 check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqqxhYR6mbBomc0 I have to check and see if the link the one from Ali Express s still in that vid. That chain tensioner is great. After testing/ trial and error, a steel roller in it works way better and doesn’t wear down and makes a lot less noise than the rubber rollers if you go that route. But that one in the box you can buy (in vid) would be easier to install than the custom one.. but won’t be as robust.

[@claytonking101]

Great video. Thanks! I have an older mb200 without rear shocks. I built an under seat spring system to smooth up the ride. Had the same problem you had with chain. It tightens and loosens upon multiple wheel revolutions. I keep the chain tension at about where you adjusted yours and haven't had any long-term issues. Also changed the sprocket to a 60t and that low end torque really climbs the tough hills much easier. Thanks again for the video. Really enjoyed it.

[@bwxmoto]

Nice! Thanks. And yeah the a chain tensioner really helps with the suspension travel if you get longer shocks. I think you can get away without one with stock shocks. With my 12" shocks I really need one, but it works great so far.

I saw your other comment. 👍

[@vizz1st]

Hey I really dont have a lot in terms of tools or mechanical knowledge, but do you think that I would have a problem unboxing it? Also how durable is this bike and does it require a bunch of maintenance?

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah these mini bikes all require some maintenance but it’s simple stuff you can do with simple tools that you can get as you need them for not much money. Cheap Harbor Freight tools are fine for working on a mini bike. Then you’ll have a small tool collection and that’s not a bad thing. Metric socket set, adjustable wrench, pliers, screwdrivers, etc. But you’ll definitely need them. The MB200-2 does have chain derailment problems out of the box though. Can be solved with a $25 tensioner that’s easy to install but if not the chain might pop off a lot in rough terrain even if you have everything lubed and adjusted perfectly. I think that’s the biggest problem with this bike in stock form and I didn’t buy one until I knew I could fix it. I’d probably start off with a simpler hard tail like a BT200X or CT200U-EX or something like that. Or expect chain issues until you fix it on the MB200-2/ Hurricane. But MB200-2 has a torque converter which requires less maintenance than a regular centrifugal clutch like the Colemans have which need to be lubed properly every few hours of riding or else it will self destruct. But it’s all very easy jobs that anyone can do. With internet and youtube vids you can easily get directions for everything you need to know. You just have to jump in and do it. It’s mostly keeping bad / old gas out of the carb, changing the engine oil, keeping chain lubed and tensioned properly, stuff like that. If you maintain them, they’re surprisingly durable and reliable. But if you don’t, you’ll get broken chains, burned out clutches, gummed up carb, etc. But it’s all very cheap and easy to fix even if that happens. Unboxing / setup is important, just do what I did in vid. You don’t need power tools for any of it. When I was a kid there was no internet. It’s so much easier now to just look something up online if you have questions. That can give you a lot of confidence before starting a job on the bike and helps you from making mistakes. I can tell by your post you have a brain in your head and can read. That can get you pretty far, so I think you’ll be fine. 👍😆

[@raywarren2345]

If any, what is the difference between the Trailmaster MB200 verses the Massimo MB200. Only difference I see is a little bit of cosmetic? Thanks in advance.

[@bwxmoto]

Totally different bikes. They look similar and might have some interchangeable parts but different bikes. One has rear suspension, etc..

[@Deucealive75]

Nice bike. Not sure it would help on this bike, but I used to adjust the chain on my dirt bike with the shocks off. This way I can adjust with the chain at its tightest at the mid point of the swing arm travel. On that bike the chain was at its loosest swing arm "bottomed" and swing arm fully extended.

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah definitely. This bike is really bad with that. It gets a ton tighter when wheel is in the upward part of it's suspension travel and then really loose when at the lowest part of travel or just static with no weight on bike. I just spent all morning putting together some parts for a slick chain tensioner that a guy on MB200-2 FB group came up with. I'll definitely be making a video about it. It's going to be really cool.

[@paulszczech791]

Thanks for the video share. I just got my new MB-200. I wanted to get a chest cam that you mentioned. Yours seems fine. What brand is it? and how much money did it cost?

[@bwxmoto]

Actually it's a Gopro Hero9 Black. They're about $350 or so.. but any gopro with stabilization is all you need really. For riding vids I have it on a helmet chin mount but chest cam would work too.

[@ifyouwerefood]

So I bought one of these and it was delivered this week. I cannot for the life of me get it to start. I’m wondering if my on/off switch is labeled backwards like you’re saying yours was? Gotta try tomorrow. If not, I guess I’ll check the spark plug next

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah I bet that’s it! The mislabeled on/off switch had me scratching my head for a minute. Usually these engines start pretty easily.

[@ifyouwerefood]

@@bwxmoto well, it wasn’t an inverted switch. I’ve done lots of troubleshooting at this point and still can’t figure it out. After reading/watching some videos, next thing I’m going to try is starter fluid on the air filter (i didn’t see where to spray it aside from directly in the filter). Open to any thoughts you have!! Thanks man, love your channel

[@bwxmoto]

@@ifyouwerefood Man that sucks. I’d check for spark, and maybe check for air leaks around carb gasket. Also make sure there’s gas in the float bowl. It’s probably one thing not working. Could be a bad engine though, it happens. Could be valves so out of adjustment that it won’t run but it’s probably something simple. Might want to call where you bought it from and see what they say. And thanks for watching! 👍

[@carlo1132]

These are nice mini bikes, my problem is, they look too much like a motorcycle and that goes against my reasoning for mini bikes, the RT/RB 200 is pushing it for me. I'd like the classic Ct200U to really get the 60's/70's vibe, but the Bt200x will have to do for now. Prices for the monster motos when they were going out of biz were insane, we missed the boat, covid made everything cost way more, RV's especially!

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah I actually think the CT200U is the best looking one I have! I also like the classic minibike style. This thing is pretty unique looking to be kind. LOL it’s not growing on me like the CT200U-EX did which I always thought was ugly but now I think it looks cool. I’m going to try to put some motocross fenders on this MB, maybe some hand guards, maybe an enduro style light. Looks more like a low trail bike than a mini.

[@crackawood]

i just found this video after i googled fastest mini bikes, but i have the ct200U-ex too. i hate camo so the first thing i did was paint it like my old 67 camaro - black with a white stripe down the middle. it tops out at about 35 at the moment so i can only imagine what this trailmaster will do with a few mods

[@angelmedina6390]

So is there any differences in the mb200 & mb200-2???

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah the Trailmaster MB200-2 is a lot different from old Baja MB200 or the one they are still selling, the Massimo at Tractor Supply or whatever. Biggest difference is rear suspension but they are different bikes made by different brands. They do have a similar fork and handlebar and seat and same name so people confuse them but they’re different. Some parts are almost always exchangeable on modern Chinese mini bikes though. So you can’t say they are totally different.usually wheels/ tires/ brakes/ engine/ handlebars, and stuff like that are somewhat universal on these mini bikes between brands but not always.

Thanks! Actually depends on the state I think. It's listed as an off-road vehicle so lots of states won't let you ride it on-road no matter what. Some let you license it for off road use only, and some will allow you to modify it and make it become road legal but then you need a motorcycle license to ride it on road. Most states it's probably almost impossible to make it road legal. Just have to look up the laws in your state at your DMV website.

[@addonikerd7247]

So the nicest part on that bike to you is the seat😑

[@bwxmoto]

Rear suspension is the best part. But yeah the seat is nice too especially for people who actually ride off road and don’t just ride up and down the street for 5 minutes.

Could you do a how to change an mini bike oil

[@bwxmoto]

I did make one along time ago and it’s actually one of the most popular videos on my channel in the past year but it’s not that great of a video. 😆 I was going to do a better one maybe I’ll do it on this trail master.

Ok thank you I needed to watch the video so I can do a oil change for my mb200-2 do you know a place that sell those cups that you pour the oil into when putting it in the engine?

[@bwxmoto]

@@lawrencepayne5082 You mean a funnel? You can get one of those at any auto parts store. You can also get a nice oil catch can tray that you can store the oil in or just do like I did and use a laundry detergent bottle with A hole cut in it.

[@lawrencepayne5082]

@@bwxmoto ok thank you I’m bout to subscribe to the channel I’m looking forward to some mb200-2 videos the next one you should do a mb200-2 top speed with throttle limiter off

[@MJCART-be9nb]

What's the stock tooth count on the rear? I'm looking for slooower speed and some good torque for hill climbing. What do you recommend for gearing on this mini bike?Thanks Jason

[@bwxmoto]

On Colemans stock is 50t, on this I think it is 46t. I'm sticking a 60t on there, and 8t up front if i can. Still plenty fast top end but all kinds of torque for crawling up hills slow and the belts last a lot longer.

[@Deucealive75]

@@bwxmoto Check this thread out. I think he had issues with longer shocks and the 60 tooth. But not enough details. He mentions it in one of his posts, not in all those videos. Sounds like the 60 tooth works, but with stock travel shocks. www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/trailmaster-mb200-2-project.172934/

[@bwxmoto]

@@Deucealive75 Cool I'll check it out. Yeah I'm not sure what all I need to do or what is possible yet. Hoping I can do longer shocks and a 60t, but I think I'll need a lot longer chain and definitely a chain tensioner.

[@daniellejacobs6581]

Can you use a mini bike as a commenter?

[@bwxmoto]

Commuter? No not in most states but where it is possible to make them street legal people do ride them to work and back. I'd make one street legal if possible but it definitely isn't here.

[@bbaaspencer1]

Your butt will appreciate the mb over the Coleman!

[@bwxmoto]

You're not kidding! And my spine. It's way more comfortable especially after the shock upgrade at the rear.

I've got 15 mini bike 10 quads 5 3 wheelers 4 go carts and a side buy side plus a sand rail my 30x40 is starting to run out of room to work so built a 20x24 for a work shop and my wife caught me with a Coleman bt100 I got not running I payed 100 bucks it's in the work shop

LOL that’s crazy. I need another shed for sure. 12x24 is full. Taxes and nazi local tyrants making it hard to add another out building.

i just wanna ride this to work idc how dumb i look 😭

[@bwxmoto]

You would look bad ass riding a bike to work. Just wear a helmet! 😇 You can easily make these street legal in some states. Most states not though. I think Ohio is pretty easy, Tennessee, etc.. Need to check out your DMV website for your state. Lots of people make these street legal. Basically impossible here in NY.

[@themoderationclub]

@@bwxmoto thanks will do😭‼️

[@thumperbangin2000]

I might just spend the extra money on one of these instead of a coleman

[@bwxmoto]

Probably a wise choice! Colemans are cool but rear suspension is really nice. Comes with TC, etc.

[@thumperbangin2000]

@@bwxmoto i am thinking also in terms of having the ability to become street legal, I heard the trailmaster comes with a title, i dont know about the colemans or if they have a vin

[@bwxmoto]

@@thumperbangin2000 Oh.. ok. Yeah You can get paperwork on Colemans but you have to call Coleman to get it. I got a certificate of origin or something like that with the MB200-2 but not sure every retailer will send it with the bike. I got it at motobuys.. Also the Colemans have a vin too. I haven’t looked into it much because it’s basically impossible here in NY. I know you still can make them road legal in certain states but not many. Might be easier to throw in an electric start engine that has charging coils like a Tillotson or something and then hook up a small motorcycle battery to run lights, blinkers, brake lights, etc.

[@jsjeej-mv2vz]

It only does 24 mph you think you 212 swap it.

Feels like this thing will do 45 MPH out of the box with throttle limiter screw backed out. Feels good. I'll put a GPS and tach on it soon and then ....... Upgrades!

They’re over a grand now bc inflation 😑

[@bwxmoto]

That’s why I got one when I did. I knew they would be harder to get come spring/ summer. Price might be supply/ demand but also probably inflation. Also there are tariffs, not sure if they went up since then in that kind if thing but they did in PC parts..

[@Stabby__]

1200 now

[@bwxmoto]

@@Stabby__ Almost brand new one on FB marketplace in Ohio right now for $800. That's what I'd do. Look for slightly used one for sale, especially the next couople months. They'd probably take 600, if not then 650-700.

[@Stabby__]

@@bwxmoto thx not near ohio hehe. Bought one recently, they are super popular and stock is limited, I guess one of the reasons for the price increase too

[@bwxmoto]

@@Stabby__ Best time to buy is the middle of winter! Worst time to buy is the middle of summer. But yeah I see them all the time on FB marketplace used. Once in a while really good deals pretty close by. Have to keep watching. I might get another one and sell three Colemans.

[@earlyearl7262]

You think that's something I spent 1150 on minds

[@bwxmoto]

You paid $1150? During winter lots of places had them in stock and the prices were as low as I'd seen in a long time so I jumped on it. Lots of those places are out of stock now.
