- I was just going to take it for a quick spin to test out side-mount helmet cam, but ended up on the hill exploring the trails. Some of the trails were pretty hardcore and muddy/ steep!

definitely getting one of these when i get the money!-----Love watching your vids btw,, keep it up!
Thanks! Yup these are fun! Not sure a motocross type bike or enduro bike or big four wheeler with huge suspension would as much fun. It would be too easy. LOL.
Some nice trails around you man, enjoyed the previous vids!
Thanks! Yeah it's a lot of fun. Just got a new upgraded "Predator" 212CC hemi engine and going to install a TAV2 torque converter (basically a CVT). Drove to Harbor freight in Ithaca last night to pick it up. Hehe. This thing will climb like a billy goat and also go about 50mph after that.
BWX haha thats great! ive been cleaning up some the trails behind force. tried taking an old porsche there and had some fun but couldn't get up a hill. thinking to try some tire chains next time. be safe!
u have to oil the clutch shaft every ride if ya want it smooth. the manual says a few drops but i recommend more and the chain needs oiled with chain lube about every ride.
Ocd Critic yup, but I put a torque converter on it. Still need to keep chain lubed.
Just regular motor oil will work fine.
That thing does great for stock!
nasanction Yeah not bad! Much better climber with torque converter but stock you can still have a lot of fun with it.
What torque converter should I use
@@moet1114 I never put one on mine. Unless your in a hilly area, it's not really needed and will just be something else to break.
@@moet1114 Sorry, I didn't answer your question. Online you can order the correct torque converter from gopowersports.com
im buying one of these very soon they seem pretty fun.
They are a blast!
quick qustion where did you get yours from?
I got mine from Amazon. I have more vids about it, unpacking, assembly, etc.. on my channel. It might come a little scratched up but usually it's ok.
stock do you think it would go around 20-25 on flat road with a 220 Pounds person.
Jonah Scott mine went 24.8 mph stock with throttle limit screw backed off. I was about 210lbs that day. Slightly downhill but speed was limited by governor, not power. So yeah it should.
Another great woods riding video. It's nice to see the stock configuration handle just about everything. No need to spend hundreds on engine mods and spend the money where it would help the most, like a torque convertor. And I think you could have made that muddy uphill with a touch more momentum before you hit it. For some reason I keep thinking what a pain a breakdown would be up there. I would probably want to carry an extra jackshaft and main chain plus a few tools.
Thanks! Was a fun little ride. Yeah I think just a torque converter would be all I ever really "need" to get up some some of the steeper sections without walking it. Even at low RPM engine does pretty good and has some pretty good torque. I usually bail just to save wear and tear on the clutch. Plus I weigh about 215 pounds and with clothes/ gear / mud (LOL), etc.. it might be closer to 230+ pounds. The engine does run very nice though!
The nice thing about being up on a hill is that you could coast about 90% of the way back down. I think losing the brake would be a huge problem though. I might just leave it up there and walk back down, then go up with parts and fix it. Not sure though!
I think the brake is another "weak" part about the bike. It wouldn't be so bad if it also had a front brake, even if it was a drum brake like out back. Then you would be able to pull both for better braking when needed.
Yeah definitely. A guy on some forum somewhere was talking about buying a rear wheel and brake and maybe using it on the front. Not sure if it would work or not, but it might.
A bear would be scary especially if unable to outrun it, a mtn lion would suck too!
I had a Tote Gote with a 3.5 hp Briggs & Stratton, it had a Comet torque converter with a 40 / 1 reduction and a tractor tread rear tire
my next build is the 420 preditor 1 inch shaft tav on the gigantic fat tire mini bike frame ..im collecting parts now...already have the tav..its gonna be sick
Wow! Make some vids, I want to see that. :-)
You'll need a 40 series converter for 420cc otherwise you'll destroy belts every time taken out
I drove my ex model up a 8 Mile Hill but I had to go 15 miles per hour the whole time or else it would bog down and it was at night and it was sketchy
Yeah that’s the main problem with stock setup! That’s why a torque converter upgrade is so good on these bikes. It makes them not inly go faster, but allows you to go slower
Looks cool now i don't need a dirtbike I'll use mini whichever is good enough. Just watchout for bear 🐻 im glad my preadtor 420cc helps to out run bear fast ENOUGH....
jt bass gambler you have a 420 on there? Sweet
get rid of that clutch ....install the comet tav it turns the ct200u into a beast..i do 52 miles an hour on mine now and climb hills i never could before...
LOL you must have me confused with someone else! Hehe. Yeah I did do a Predator / TC swap. Works pretty good. You commented a lot on my vids. Remember?
Donald Willhite how much is the clutch I have one of these
about 138 on go power sports last i looked. might be 178. can't remember right now.
my bad i was helping another guy and watching your vids ..messed up...looks like your having fun
LOL. No prob man. Was pretty funny. yeah it runs sweet with a Predator/ torque converter on there! Goes about 38mph (probably could go faster but that's what I clocked it at), and crawls up much steeper hills. Thanks for the help a few weeks ago!!
👌👍
So I don't know much about bikes but what does a torque converter do? I have stock so idk
It makes it like how a snowmobile works basically. It's like a CVT in a newer automatic car. It has a belt and two pulleys and makes it so you can go really slow with a lot of torque and then speed up to go a lot faster than stock too. Look up TAV2 30 on ebay. You can get them for about $50. Need a 3/4 shaft from engine though, so need to buy a Predator 212 for $100 unless you have a really old CT200U that still had the 3/4" shaft. They are 16mm these days.
I had the ex for a while. Fun little bikes.
I still have 2 EXs. 😆 Yeah those handle the best of the hard tails I think. BT is good though too.
What oil do you use for the chain and everything?
evile1174 Well I was talking about Corrosion X in the video, but that is overkill and expensive. I got some Dupont teflon chain lube since that works great on the minibike and my motorcycle
I have the BT200x I put a 72 tooth sprocket on the back it has no issues with boggling down on step Hill’s with stock clutch. No torque converter needed. It pulls like a mule.
I hate centrifugal clutches.. TC for me any day!
TC are good. I have a BaHa heat 200. It’s 6 years old with stock original clutch it also has 72 tooth sprocket low geared for pulling easier on clutch just keep it oiled
👍 like your videos
Yeah I think for road riding they make sense but I do mostly trails and hills so for me I'll take a TC with an 8 or 9 tooth front and 60 tooth rear. But if I lived in a place where I could ride on the road a lot, I'd have one mini with a regular clutch.
👍😁
what do you use on the chain? should i just put WD40 on it? just got my bike 4 days ago
I used Corrosion-X which is really expensive, I bought it for a different purpose. I think you could use bicycle chain lube, motor oil, WD-40, etc. I think WD-40 is pretty thin and more of a penetrant/ water displacement spray though, but it is better than nothing. The clutch shaft (not clutch itself) needs oil repeatedly, every single ride basically. Can use motor oil for that.
oh ok thanks didnt know it needed oil every ride ill put some wd-40 right now...btw keep up the videos loving them
Mine does anyway. If I don't oil that clutch shaft it starts making a lot of noise and gets really grabby. If I oil it, it quiets right down and also run s a lot smoother. It's a pretty big difference!
yea it is really grabby and makes a weird noise once it starts moving i just thought it was like that thanks alot pal
If I were you stop at a place where they sell dirt bike stuff. You should find a few different chain lubes there. Before I ran my Coleman I used the end of a bottle of some Honda chain lube that I used on my old dirt bike. Haven't touched it since but have not done extreme riding like this. I still do not understand why guys will use oil to lubricate their clutches. Especially a clutch that has a caged needle bearing in it. Before I ran my Coleman I opened the clutch and packed the bearing with automotive style wheel bearing grease. Seems to work ok but do not over do it with too much grease. Since then the clutch has never seen a drop of oil. Oil a clutch with a bronze bushing. Grease a clutch with a caged needle bearing.
Does it pull uphill well
In stock form it does ok until it gets super steep and then the clutch system holds it back. If you install a torque converter it climbs like a billy goat.
How far can you go without refueling? I want to get one soon, and the trails near my house are 5 to 10 miles long. Do you think I could do that?
Adventures With Peter Oh yes, I think that would be no problem. It runs for quite a while on a tank, I think someone timed it and it was something like three or four hours.
You could always get a gallon gas tank and bungee it to the rear rack to be on the safe side.
BWX okay, thank you very much for the help! Have a great day!
Peter Salois yes you could
@@bwxmoto 2 Liter pop bottles work great for gas and I use a 16 oz soda bottle for motor oil. Have Fun!
Where did you get that bag for the front of the seat? Can you post the link?
Afterburner I bought that a looong time ago. It’s just a seat post bag for a mountain bike though. Has some straps and velcro.
@@bwxmoto - Thanks man - I liked that as a spot to store some extras for my CT200u - Really like your videos and applying your ideas to my bike - Thumbs up Brother.
Afterburner cool! 👍😎 BTW that bag rubbed off the paint so I attach it to rear rack now if I want to take it. It makes a nice little tool pack though.
So just bought a 196 cc Coleman today and I couldn’t get up a hill i know nothing about these bikes I was hoping to take it hunting in the mountains and pull somethings down or whatever if I have too.... but ... after that experience I want to return it. Don’t get me wrong it was a fun bugger I just worried about taking it to the mountains and it won’t suffice but I noticed in your comments about upgrades can you explain to dummy in lame turns and details
With a torque converter and reduced gearing it’ll climb a lot steeper hills. Gotta check out some of my later vids in this playlist. I’ll link it below.
Dude Xhill th-cam.com/play/PLjyn9AxQIhB2JyBp2fYxmWBxwh6knwuRq.html
Dude Xhill This is same basic minibike with torque converter and 8 tooth front sprocket and 60 t through sprocket. It’ll climb to the point the only thing limiting you is geometry of the bike. th-cam.com/video/6jzIEjmXy58/w-d-xo.html
Dude Xhill people use these for hunting. Reliable and with good tires they’ll go up and down all but the steepest narliest stuff. Long version of that vid - th-cam.com/video/uSbIQG5hfig/w-d-xo.html
You got those gloves at auto zone
Haha 😂 YUP!
@@bwxmoto i got a ct200u to but mine the throtle is rigged so its a bit scary but i dont mine
outlaw games Sometimes scary is fun, sometimes it just scary!
Good to wear a helmet but get a full face you’ll break your jaw falling at even 20 mph if you take out the screw it goes 26-28 depending how much you weigh I’m 180 pounds
Funny I used to bomb down hills going 30+ mph on my mountain bike with just a bicycle helmet- people still do that all the time and no one says boo about it. But go 15 mph on a mini bike and people think doing that is somehow more dangerous.
I take it easy on my mini bikes and keep speed down unless I have gear on. On my motorcycles I always wear gear unless I’m just riding in the driveway warming them up going under 10 mph.
Please tell me more about this screw 🤔
What gas and oil do you use
Pccxo2k gas- any non-ethanol I can get. Currently 90 octane. 86 would be fine. Oil- cheapest full synthetic I can find, 10w-30. Regular SAE automotive oil. 👍
In case I get one what pouch is that?
Legions and legends Oh that’s just an old under seat bicycle bag from 20 years ago.
BWX adds so much aesthetic to the bike. Thanks.
It actually started rubbing the paint off the frame! So then I stuck it on the rear rack behind the seat. Doesn't look as cool, but... not wrecking the paint back there.
Is this with the stock clutch?
Yeah back then it was all stock. Needed to waddle up hills where the clutch and stock gearing couldn’t handle it. Can’t really see that on video though.
What are you running now? I’m hoping for more low end power. Not worried about top end as I will be using it to run the beach for halibut surf casting and for hunting here in Alaska.
How fast is it in mph?
When I made that video it was stock and went about 24mph with me on it - I weight about 200 lbs w/ gear. Since then I added a predator 212cc engine with a torque converter and it went 39mph, then I added upgrades to that motor and it went about 47 mph. With slightly different gearing it'll do about 50mph. It's pretty fast!
Ok then hot the throttle more
Mine's faster that yours! LOL th-cam.com/video/7PBm0rY_yDw/w-d-xo.html
Ciao amico, perdonami, sono in Italia e vorrei comprare il Coleman. Sai darmi un feed su questo sito?: www.euscooters.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=111
Sorry I never saw this comment as it went to spam. Question was:
"Hello friend, forgive me, I'm in Italy and I would like to buy Coleman. Can you give me a feed on this site ?"
I have no idea if that website is legitimate or not, but that is definitely an unbranded Coleman CT200U. If you can buy it, it would be the same as mine I bet.
Non ho idea se il sito è legittimo o no, ma questo è sicuramente un Coleman CT200U non definito. Se lo puoi comprare, sarebbe la stessa cosa che scommetto.
