I can watch this guy tell me how to do anything. His mullet is all the credentials I'll ever need , it's only a plus that he knows what he is talking about and has a good voice lol
I've had my coleman for 2 years now. Used your video a week after I brought 'er home. She been running like a champ ever since and I've only had to tighten the chain every couple weeks. Thanks man ^-^
That "thank you...thank you.." after finding the screw is one of the most genuine thank yous a person can express or hear. Coleman needs to throw a magnet stick into the wrench kit 😂
Lol Wild Piglets, cool. I bought 2 BT200x’s. HD colors Orange & black with white fenders that I stickered Hardly Davidson. Stock 20 mph via GPS on flat road with 220 pound rider. Did throttle screw went 25 mph. Drilled throttle arm hole out on far edge & moved spring 32 mph. Then governor zip tie, $20 stock carb replacement with .038 jet, cheap header muffler & cone filter, 38 mph but seems like clutch slip revved TOO high. So I bought the CVT IE the best mod. Accelerates better, drops rpms, and ran 42 mph on flat road. The only expensive mod but worth it. Then added digital tach, LED tail light, 8 degree timing key, 9 tooth front sprocket, 18 lb valve springs IE all cheap mods. Runs 45 mph on flat road at 4,800 rpms & 48 mph down a grade at 5,200 rpms. Stock cam / motor has now made max power but it sounds and feels solid & reliable likely in part due to valve springs. The stock 10 tooth front sprocket plus a 60 tooth rear sprocket (requires chain) to lower gearing a little more should pick up a little more acceleration and maybe 2 mph but at a lil more rpm IE likely max safe rpm (with 18 lb springs) for stock cast rod & fly wheel. Just my experience & thoughts. Have fun that’s what mini bikes are for. And yeah 35 cruising 45 top speed fast enough on these things. Front brakes being next mod.
38 MPH...Was this with the stock gearing and valve springs? That would be pretty high RPM. The stock springs should be good to at least 5400. But at 38 MPH you would have been close to 7K RPM. Wow. But I agree the CVT is hands down a must for these Coleman 200's. All you really need is a stage 1 kit and a CVT. Any governor manipulation things like zip ties and governor removal are not even necessary.
If stock they govern around 3,600 as I’ve read and people have gotten 33 mph with the stock epa carb, governor & springs which I’ve read then I doubt 38 mph (stock sprockets) is 7k. Doubt the online mini bike calculator would show that either but as mentioned it was spinning hard so I invested in the CVT. I was told by GPS that the weak stock springs are only good to 5k. With 9/50 sprockets (5.55-1 final drive ratio) I see 4800 on a flat & 5200 down a small grade. I plan to use 10/60 sprockets for 6.00-1. That will get me more acceleration plus maybe 2 mph on a flat at around 5,000 rpm and what 5400/5500 down a hill. By then I will really feel the springs were cheap insurance for only a few bucks & my time. Haven’t searched for a good mini bike forum yet. Do you know of any?
@@vernlochtefeld1626 GPS saying that they are only good to 5K are just covering themselves and they are in the business to sell as many 18 lb springs as possible. People regularly run these bikes 30-32 mph on stock springs. That's 5500+ RPM with stock gearing. My CL1 original cam calls for a target (max) RPM of 5800, with stock springs. Yeah you can use 18 lb springs, it's just that I wouldn't because I will not be spending any time in between 5500 and 7K RPM. My engine won't see 5800 but 5500 would be nice. Probably more like 5200 max. I'm running a mainly stock engine with 9/60 tooth on my 200U. I never even had the bike at top speed but have gotten 4500 RPM. That was around 26 or 27 MPH. I have a tach that can recall max RPM after the ride is over. When I got that RPM it sounded like the belt was just starting to shift when I backed off the throttle. The speed calcs do say 7000 RPM makes 39 MPH. You have to be sure to use 19 inch tire and 10/1 gearing. At one point someone did the math and figured 181.7 RPM for every 1 mph on these Colemans, with the stock jackshaft and tires. A pretty good mini bike forum I look at is OldMiniBikes dot com
Thank you so much! That's all we really need is just a little bit more top in it is just a little bit more top end than 19 miles an hour! If this takes me to if this takes me to 30, I'd be absolutely satisfied!
Thanks for the tip ! I bought myself the same model you have. Bought my wife the RB200 . Love them both ! And your mod's helped us get more for our money.
I bent the throttle stop tab down on mine when I first got it and it added 8.2 MPH giving it a total of 28.2 MPH. I will need to swap the fuel jet because OEM doesn't keep the fuel flowing efficiently.
Thank you this saved me so much time cause I almost ripped the entire engine apart to take out the governor and now I don't have to do that so thank you
You have your front wheel on backwards! The deep dish side goes on the left in order to center the wheel. The tire is marked with an arrow indicating the proper direction of rotation.
That is a pretty simple mod but if you want get some real increase in speed with out spending a lot of money or time is to remove the Jack shaft assembly then you take and flip the centrifugal clutch around then you add a few more links to the drive chain and it went from a speed of twenty mph to a little over 60 mph!!! O by the way I did have to put a bolt and washer in the end of the shaft to keep the clutch from coming off
Great video I learned a lot from it I think I'm going to go with the governor mod.. so I have the same bike that you have and at night time the headlamp is really dim as you give it gas it gets brighter but I'm on a completely dark world with no street lights I live out in Missouri.. I noticed you had that extra headlight can you tell me what kind it is and that I need an extra bracket for it and how would I connect it to the other headlight what I just split the wires and twist them together cover it with black electrical tape?
For the governor mod should I do the zip tie trick or I seen a video of a kid making his own linkage from the throttle straight to the carburetor butterfly ??
I installed a torque converter on my sons mini bike over the weekend with a predator 212. Thing rips now. I'd prefer a torque converter over a centrifugal clutch. Much more power and gives you plenty of power to climb hills. He has the exact model as you do. I painted it blue and put nice blue handle grips on their with a high performance throttle housing. Putting other mods on it this week. But I don't plan on removing the governor. It'll go plenty fast as is.
Probably the greatest video ever. I mean like it's just reasonable to think that way. If you want a fast race bike pay a couple extra bucks for one. But I dunno that's just the way I think too. Great video 🤠👍 got my subscription.
Just bought a bt200x-b love this bike got a straight pipe and muffler a tach some wrap for the muffler (black) but haven't needed it yet the exhaust is turning a nice blue color. And the back rack. So fun the rack is still to show suppose to be today.
I believe that you may want to review the zip tie portion once again. If done as instructed in the video (throttle wide open) the governor still fully engages. If the zip tie were to be applied when the spring was not stretched (throttle closed) it would keep the governor arm from activating. Otherwise a great video and I'm loving this channel! Your vids are very entertaining.
Okay so you pull the throttle all the way open then put the zip tie on it? I know many people have already said this but doesn’t that just engage the governor?
Is there an alternative bike with similar specs and frame etc? I've been looking for one for several months. I can't buy this in Europe/Germany over the normal sites because they don't offer international shipping and I can't find it on Ebay or Amazon etc...
Yall really should just take it out and fix it right.. also If you start Cranking max RPM on that engine with stock fly wheel it will sling off the Magnet... Happen to mine and almost came thru the fan housing that would have hurt anyway mine now has billet flywheel. Becareful doing things like this seems simple fun,.. but can be dangerous....
i hope someone can HELP ME I JUST BOUGHT CT200U-EX R THE CHAIN WAS TO TIGHT IT WAS MAKING KNOCKING SOUND SO I LOOSENED THE CHAIN IT HAS A 1/2 TO 3/4 PLAY. BUT IT STILL MAKES THE KNOCKING SOUND ALOT LESS THEN BEFOR.. IF I LOOSEN IT ANYMORE THE CHAIN WILL RUB AGAINST THE NUT THAT HOLDES THE CHAINGURD IN PLACE... SO I LIKE TO KNOW IS A LITTLE KNOCKING SOUND OK??? THANK U!!!
Hey Johnny, I was watching this other guy do the zip-tie on the spring trick and he said you shouldn't do it unless you install 18lb valve springs first. He didn't have a mullet so I didn't trust him as much, so what's your opinion on the valve springs?
@@JohnnyMullet Does the governor still kick in if you zip tie the spring? Aren't you bypassing it either way and you would still need the heavier valve springs? Sorry, don't know much about engines, thanks!
@@turdferguson3816 The zip tie mod actually allows the governor to kick in, but keeps it below the higher RPM's of no governor where heavier springs are required.
i zip tied my bike without having to take the tank off with some needle nose pliers to grab the zip tie after it was in, then i adjusted the throttle screw so that i didn't over rev
So I bent back that tab and ground down the set screw a little. They don't touch now but I'm still topping out at 20 mph. Is there something I'm missing?
Twist the throttle harder. When I cut my screw, I also tightened the throttle cable that was right behind it, mostly just because it was right there and easy to do. Not sure it did anything, but maybe experiment with that.
The throttle cable spring is restricting it take it out I Put on another spring to do the work Be SHORE it still goes back to idle Block up the back wheel at first start be safe
My bike fell over in the night and now there is oil coming from my exhaust and and my air filter is soaked. Do you know why that could be? It’s brand new
I don't really understand what function that zippy tie is serving. I know you say it prevents the throttle from being pulled back but if the zippy tie always has slack between the spring how is it doing anything at all lol... I'm going to do the mod anyway but I just don't get it.
Nice! I don’t understand how a zip tie that’s loser then the spring keeps the governor from engaging. I took mine apart and rewatched your video ten times and did the zip tie but didn’t understand the function.
@@JohnnyMullet but the zip tie isn’t keeping the spring from expanding right? Just making it slightly off so it doesn’t engage the Governor? Thanks for the video it’s by far the easiest trick for this bike
@@JohnnyMullet but you have the throttle wide open, so the spring is already streched as far as it will go. ??? Wide open throttle and you still have play in the zip tie.I can see where the other zip tie mod, where they pull the zip tie tighter and actually stop the spring from streching, but i dont see where yours is doing anything at all. I just moved the spring all the way to the outermost hole on the arm and I'm at 28 MPH. Thanks, curious to hear your answer
Thank you sir is it the same on the bt200x i just got it for the kiddos but will wait until theyre experienced enough. Also does synthetic help these or that a no go sir. Thanks again.
He lost me when he suggested that fully removing the governor, installing a safer billet rod and racing flywheel is "full retard" while zip tying the governor was retaining reliability. Insane.
hello again. I tried the zip tie trick it went very fast. but at top speed the motor started chocking. when i turned the motor off it backfired. muffler was smocking.
I did this and it worked. I felt the engine heated up alot. Anything I can do to stop that? I haven't done an exhaust or put the holes in the air filter cover.
These two mods for more engine RPM is a BAD idea on a stock engine! My grandson bought a used CT200U-EX that was not running as it had no spark. When I got into it, I found these two mods were don't, causing the engine to increase its rated RPM, which inturn, caused the ignition magnet that was glued on, to come off of the flywheel. When this happened, the ignition coil and its mounting posts on the engine, destroyed! Now, there is no way to mount a replacement coil! Basically now, the engine is scrap because of this mod on a crappy flywheel design!
Sure it's a bad idea but people just want more speed without spending the money and taking the time to do it right. 6000 RPM just to do 32-33 MPH is pretty funny. There's nothing wrong with the flywheel design and will never break at the 3600 RPM these engines were designed to run.
You forgot 2 mods.
The mullet gives you 5 HP and the Casio digital watch give another 5 HP.

I did both hitting 33 mph plan on changing the springs to 18 lbs so i dont float the valves
bad ass exhaust pipe
I don't get it so the zip tie itself is not actuallt connected to anything ? It just sits loose inside of that spring ?
What is the size of the bolt for the gas tank I lost mine and I need too I ow what size too buy
Hey could you explain to me how to wrap that ziptie on the gov spring, it's kinda hard to see
does it matter how tight is? if its is too tight will it cause problems

Sure it's a bad idea but people just want more speed without spending the money and taking the time to do it right. 6000 RPM just to do 32-33 MPH is pretty funny.
There's nothing wrong with the flywheel design and will never break at the 3600 RPM these engines were designed to run.
My screw wasn’t tac welded at all they must have forgot or I just got lucky 🍀
How exactly does the zip tie work?
Well ya see you just put the zip tie in and magically it runs faster
how exactly does a sun set? how exactly does posi trac in the rear end of a plymouth work? it just does!
Isn't it likely that bypassing the governor like that will blow your engine?

If the governor explodes, then remove it and add bigger valve springs.
Will the first mod work without the zip tie mod
Yes. This will gain you about 5 mph.
@@JohnnyMullet all right good to know

smallest one I had. As long as it fits through the spring.
