I felt the same when I got mine, I am 52 and never have found a hobby that makes me smile this much....there is learning curve but once that is overcome then the real fun begins
Depends on your neighbors. I prefer the sound of an engine to a ankle-biter barking nonstop, guns going off, or a small child screaming. Offer me a turn!
My buddy has one and I love riding the thing! Definitely needs some sort of suspension on it though. His bike is in stock form, but he did buy a stage 1 kit for it. That was a new open air filter, new exhaust (straight piped like you did), better carb and bigger jets for it. He also removed the governor on it as it would only max out at maybe 18mph or so. But with that setup, it cruises much faster and runs much better, but the exhaust is definitely way too loud with the straight pipe setup. He ended up putting a generic muffler on it and that helped but it's still fairly loud. But yeah, they are fun to blast around on. I use to have a Kawasaki KLX110 pit bike that was modded out for a bigger rider and it was a blast! Wish I never got rid of that thing! I'd much rather ride a pit bike than the mini bike because of the suspension and rideability of it, but I'll take anything over nothing lol.
been a minute since I've seen one of your videos! I'm helping my brother in law with his coleman ct200u! we're getting a electronic start kit for it and some lights.
@@Simplelittlelife Also, is that 1 inch inner or outer diameter for your exhaust? trying to find or make my own with a muffler. I do have a pipe threader kit here at work I can use to put a online pre-made one but I haven't found a header that routes or looks the way I want it to.
Jermy, you need to wrap your new exhaust pipe to keep it from burning someone's leg. your auto parts will have it. stay safe and enjoy your new toy. just a thought, have you changed you mailing address since you have moved into your new place .
I need help. I was taking off the governor of my BT 200X and when I put it all back together every time i started it the throttle cable and linkage looked fine but the back wheel would always spin. Someone please help
The centrifugal clutch will burn up after two or three rides then if things slips like crazy, you have to take the clutch apart and sand it down with some like 80 grit sandpaper you got to keep doing that every couple rides
I have a CT200u-EX modified. It’ll do 60 mph on pavement. I really built it for trail riding in the woods. Consider building a springer seat next. It made mine so much more comfortable.
NEVERMIND.... I typed this before the end of the vid... haha. Suggestion... LED that headlight so they can ride that trail in the evening during these short winder days. 😁😁
Do you remember what wire number you used to weld those foot pegs with? Is it Flux core wire or is it mig wire? I'm new to welding so forgive me for the stupid questions. The way you welded those pegs on was like melting butter and the weld was PERFECT. Great video buddy. 👍
Good afternoon. I will be glad if you help me. I really want a bt200x mini bike, but there are none in my region. I'm ready to do it myself. tell me please, do you have a drawing of the frame, AutoCAD?
I wish you would have given a better look at the bench you built for the minibike. They look like my sawhorses without the bottom stuff you added. I love my sawhorses because when not working on them people can use them as benches around the shop. Mine only use two 2x4's as platform supports and then I screw on top of them a table top from reclaimed wood. I find people throwing out almost full sized sheets of OSB all the time. I sometimes get lucky and find a table someone has thrown away. I remove the table top at my shop and use the top for my sawhorses. They get used a lot more than the traditional sawhorses because you can actually use them as a platforms for anything.
Flip flops, no helmet.. thats hard core raising boys! *I APROVE!* (I raised 4). Let them EXPERIENCE the pain! You telling them "you might get hurt", is an exercise in futility!! IMO! Good job brother!! Cheers from Michistan. (The state formally known as Michigan)
Right on! Yeah gotta let them figure out the physical world for themselves right? My youngest probably spends 2 hours every single day carving with knives and axes. When he started, he did get a few cuts here and there but after a while they figure it out and his knife skills are really impressive. Thank you so much. Cheers from Canezuala 😆👍
That looks like a blast, and the scenery this time of year is great. Gotta go and pick up my TSPROF "Master Kit" that came in today's mail. Are you still using yours? Enjoyed watching your presentations w/ the TSPROF, thanks...
Sweet! I watched your video. Love the exhaust you did too! I threw away an old Harley exhaust system a few years ago and after seeing your video I regret it. Nice work! God bless you too👍

Inspired by your video, I bought one this morning! Man, my neighbors are gonna love me.
hahaha right on! 👍

I have a 2022 WR450 and a 190 pit bike. The pit bike is my go to bike. There's something fun about being on a cheap little bike.
This hobby is addictive. Like potato chips, you can’t have just one.
Hahaha! Good analogy. I’m beginning to notice that 😆👍
Yep, 4 and counting
@@nnaheim. Me too 🤣 4 and I'm looking for a ct 100 gave that one to my grandson now I can't find any for sale
2 and I want more

Dang get a dictionary dude
I subbed to this channel for knife content but I’ve been enjoying the shop setup and the other content!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that 👍
Awesome. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thank you! God bless you too Jared👍
@@Simplelittlelife your welcome sir. Thanks so much.
@@Simplelittlelife thanks so much sir. Your very welcome.
been a minute since I've seen one of your videos! I'm helping my brother in law with his coleman ct200u! we're getting a electronic start kit for it and some lights.
if you do the same, get a YTX9-BS battery. small, light, and will run your lights and start your motor just fine.
Oh sweet! Thank you so much! I will look into that. Much appreciated 👍
also, if you need to the Yamaha Grizzly handle bar ignition switch control should work with it.

nice work man! so jealous, wish I had a shop to play like that!
How'd you fasten the milk crate to the rack ?
Hahaha, i was just looking at one of those for my son. That's great!
Right on! Man, I highly recommend 👍
Great video keep the mini bike alive!
Cool bike… I’ve had my bt over a year & it’s very modified .
Sweet! I can see the fun in this stuff for sure!
Can you put an electric motor into this bike? If so, what size electric motor size is needed?
Can you please do a tutorial on how to install the rack
Jermy, you need to wrap your new exhaust pipe to keep it from burning someone's leg. your auto parts will have it. stay safe and enjoy your new toy. just a thought, have you changed you mailing address since you have moved into your new place .
Yeah I’m going to make a heat shield for it. As it is though you would only get burned if you crashed. Normal riding and it is well away for the leg👍
Sounds wild loud with that exhaust before muffler
Hey my plug was bad I only had a ngk BR8EG it fits in fine but will that hurt then engine the threads where the same size
Cool story 👍
I need help. I was taking off the governor of my BT 200X and when I put it all back together every time i started it the throttle cable and linkage looked fine but the back wheel would always spin. Someone please help
Bought my kids theirs in the beginning of the year now we have 5 total lol 😂 and a KT196 two seater go kart
Right on 👍

I just got one yesterday and, I want it modified so, I can go 50 mph!! Lol 😎

Any problems with the chain when you off-road?
Dude.....that sounds badass
how did you put the milkcrate on?
Just some u-bolts.

No I don’t have any drawings of the frame.
where did you get the rack from?
It came with the bike.

i recommend a better flywheel and riser handlebars
I want one, I WANT ONE!
Looks like Knifemaking gets shelved for a while to become a Mini Bike Manufacturer/Modifier. 😁
Hahaha, still plugging away in the knife stuff too👍
What cargo rack is that?
It’s just the one that came with the bike.
That looks like a blast, and the scenery this time of year is great.
Gotta go and pick up my TSPROF "Master Kit" that came in today's mail.
Are you still using yours?
Enjoyed watching your presentations w/ the TSPROF, thanks...
Yeah I still use mine all the time. It has become my all time favourite and my only go to now when I need to sharpen a blade. Which is often 👍
Wheres the update

4:30 yeah Coleman welds aren’t the greatest 😂
Go to harbor freight and buy the Ghost 212 race engine for it
I’ve been eyeing that one up. I’d have to get it shipped up here to Canada but you figure it’s worth it? I am tempted…
I spotted the Canadian flag, where abouts are ya bud?

I love how your kid just hopped on and ripped it no fear no helmet 1980’s style.
Hahaha yeah just like the “good old days”👍
Man, I need more subscribers so l can get sponsors like that.
I vote no muffler lol
Me too!! Maybe a bolt on if I ever want to take this to a public camp ground or some thing.
Hey my Man.. I bought one too, they are super fun to tinker on. If you get a chance check out what I did to mine…
New Brunswick Canada..
