Excellent video! Would a 212 fit better in this frame? I don't know how to weld so I can't modify the frame. What was/is the top speed? Also... how tall are you? Wondering if I could fit on this at 5'10"
Hello IdahoEagle, No a 224 and 212 are about the same size. The only difference is the crank size. They do differ a bit with different blower covers and possibly exhaust and intake differences. How ever the block is the same size. I’m am 5’6 and well over 200lbs. I’ve had the 224 at 53mph. You can see it in one of the videos. I’ll be revisiting the 224 engine soon. Thanks for watching!!
so i have a 2016 mm80 and im looking into getting a 224 for it. is it 100% that a 224 will fit in that frame? i want to order a 224 but dont want to have to relocate the tank. help
Hello broombroom, yes it will go but it’s tight. You will need to bring some from the front oil drain plug and drill new mounting holes for the engine. The MM80 holes are different. As you saw in my video it is possible. By grinding the front oil drain bolt it will allow you to move the engine as far forward as possible. Hope this helps… Let me know how it turns out. You will definitely like the difference in power. Be safe!! Thanks for watching!!!
I notice mine shakes a hell of a lot too, Id like to find a way to support it better. Could just be needing to go through its cycles. I only have an hour or two on mine.
Hello Eric, Some people have found that the flywheel is not torqued properly and can be a cause of the vibrations. I feel though that it’s caused by the stroke this engine has. I welded 3ea 1”x1/8” flat bar under the engine plate to help stiffen the frame. It definitely helped tame the beast. I have a video showing how I did it. You should check it out. Thanks for watching!!
Sweet! Love the first pull 😎drinking coffee in Ocotillo and watching DIY Willy! Getting close to 1000 go Willy go. Share what you find out about the vibrations curious cause im having similar issues.
Thanks yes I’m getting close. I will share what I find. Just wish I didn’t need to look. Not worried to much all the parts are replaceable. I believe I need to shim the crank at the side cover. There appears to excessive end play. That might tighten it up some.
hi willy i wish i remember who said went you start your 224 put hands over ears you dont want to hear this noise that how i roll been beat on it for 2 years just got moto 80 frame time too install 224 beating continue.
Well it does fit pretty nice and will pull hard while accelerating. So many videos now on the best mods for the 224. Just make sure to upgrade the brakes with that 225! Have fun! Be careful and Thanks for watching!!
WAY more torque but with the governor left in its still as fun to ride as the smaller 79cc version. So far it doesn't seem to be a wheelie monster at least for now....LOL..
Hello sleetyvelour, For the install in this video I drilled new holes in the engine plate. After removing the tank I used this riser plate. amzn.to/3Xa250j Thanks for watching!!
Hello Oscar, I use 3/4” #35 chain clutches with 12teeth. I do have some with 10teeth but prefer the 12 teeth clutches. Depending on the power output of your engine you may have to get a larger chain size clutch. Thanks for watching!!
No I drilled new holes to match the engine in the mounting plate. I made template of the bottom of the engine and measured it out to align the chain. Marked the holes and drilled. Worked perfectly as long as you have a chain tensioner. Thanks for watching!!
I have the 420cc predator on that same frame. Had to remove the tank, exhaust, and air box but it barely fit. Looks like its all engine and 2 wheels lol.
Really? Do you have any video of that? I went to you channel but it’s mostly music. I know I don’t look like it but I’m a fan of TUPAC. I’m gonna watch the must watch video of yours when I’m done working. But honestly I would like to see a video of the 420 Mega Moto. I want to try it sooo bad. Thanks for watching

Ive got a coleman cc100x Im about to put a 224 on in about 10 mins, finally got my last part from Amazon. But I wanted to know what front fork are you using?
Hello Native Son, Your going to like that 224! I also run a 224 but fully modded and it’s impressive for sure. Please make sure you have enough brakes to tame that beast. I use this fork: Mini Bike Front Suspension Fork a.co/d/6YOs33w You can also find it at GoPowerSports for sometimes cheaper price. Good luck with your build and stay safe. Thanks for watching!!
Hello Rebecca, I only have the 2 minibikes right now and even though I do plan on selling the one in the video, I’m not ready to sell yet. Maybe if your in the SD area we could talk about building you one. Send me an email. My email is in the description. Thanks for watching
yea my 80cc just went i pushed the breather tube to the valve cover and the valves chewed it all up and then the motor started to shake and rattle then shut off
I’m going to do this same exact mod to my mm 80. Can you please tell me the chain size, chain length, clutch size, and sprocket size? It would really help. Awesome video though!
Hello sma_garage, I was using a 3/4” 12t clutch with 35chain. The rear sprocket is a 54t. If you can get a larger chain it would be better. I always buy 10’ of chain and cut to size. Like this one…amzn.to/3TNcQUG. This clutch….amzn.to/47he8L0 The sprocket I bought from OMBWarehouse. Thanks for watching!!
Angled plate www.gopowersports.com/mega-moto-80-105-adapter-plate/ Angled plate with adjustable top plate Best option www.gopowersports.com/mega-moto-80-105-adjustable-motor-mount-kit/ Either of these will work and will also allow for a torque converter. Thanks for watching!!
Okay so I have the same bike frame only it's called rt100 and I'm putting a 224 in it problem Is I can't find anywhere on how too hook up the throttle cable too it how would you do it?
Hello Alexander, it’s really hard to explain and I don’t have a clear video on the throttle install. But Mech Master does and I’ll provide a link. It’s the same set up on the 224 even though it may look different. You will connect the same cable to the 224 linkage. Thanks for watching. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/tymDZ0kYxrI/w-d-xo.html
Hello glaxiccp7841, No the chain guard was purchased separately from GoPowerSports. Also I did replace the chain. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching.
@@glaxiccp7841 the stock chain may be too short and you will need a longer one. I replaced mine before trying. Also if you can consider getting a larger chain. The same throttle cable will work if using the stock 224 carb.
There really wasn’t anything that stood out as “That’s the problem”. I think the biggest issue was crank shaft end plan which I fixed with shims at the side cover. I didn’t measure it but install 1 thick one and 1 thin one and that seemed to get it close enough for me. I believe that the extra stroke on the crank shaft contributes to the vibration at mid range power. The vibration goes away as the rpm’s increase. I would love to get the whole rotating assembly balanced. There some diy videos out there and also some professional companies to do it but I’m fine with it. Great comment!! Thanks again for watching!!! 👍
My 224 Armature Gap was at .08 the top arm was at .16 the motor was shaking a lot and had some weird sounds coming out of it and a couple scratches on the flywheel I put the .08 to .16 no more issue and it's faster
The hole pattern and spacing is wrong for the engine. You can use adapters but that changes the height. I didn’t want to remove the gas tank or exhaust to make it fit. Look at where the holes are in the plate. They are nowhere near what is needed. Thanks for watching
Yes its sad to see the 79cc engine go. Its a great running engine but its always nice to have more. I need to do some repairs to it and I may reinstall it while I build the 224..
@ㅤY will be the same as a 212. Attach it right behind the tank. There are many videos about it.
