Hold my beer. Im either putting a 80cc quad engine with tranny in my mini bike or I'm cutting off the tranny, plating the open end, and using it separately where my jackshaft used to be.
Thanks for the video! I sent them an email and they only make it for engines with a 3/4 inch shaft, but suggested that I could make a spacer (adapter) for use with a 5/8 shaft. This thing is amazing... So you do not need any other gear reduction other than the sprocket on the engine and wheel... That seems to simple.
what exactly are the jackshafts for ? To center the motor more on the bike and/or to have the option of which side of the tire you want to run your chain and sprocket?
when you start it up and start to release the clutch after the thing by the engine starts to spin you can just use the throttle with no clutch or is it diffrent? i dont really know how to use a clutch.
Nice bike, we have a sears roper with the same style scrub brake, do you think it’s possible use the scrub brake lever with this clutch instead of the handle lever for clutch I ask cause we’re maxed out on handle bar space with front and rear brake levers but could possibly use the scrub brake lever without brake pad as clutch lever like to know what you think? Thanks SB
I got this clutch on my mini bike and the lever don’t matter. Their site has multiple cable sizes plus you don’t need a clutch specific. The cable runs to the clutch and is attached by a set screw. Squeeze the handle and it just rotates part of the clutch letting it engage and disengage. Hope that helps
42mph? So you're running aprox 6:1? I ran 6:1 with an auto clutch and it works great. I have a 7:1 minibike as well, and it works wonderfully. Quite powerful
Might be a stupid question but can these be used in combo with a torque converter because if so that could get rid of that putting in the lower speeds.
You can add teeth to it to make it a tad faster if he’s seeing 42 he could put a 14 tooth on and see 55 but I haven’t seen a 14 tooth 35 which I have which I might just go with the 12 because i see the same speeds.
I have a question. If I wanted to switch from a centrifugal max torque clutch to a manual clutch would I have to move the engine for the sprockets to line up with the driven sprocket? Or will the sprocket on the manual clutch stick out the same distance as the centrifugal mtc
Leo D i am planning on going from a max torque to this manual and the sprocket seems to be about the same distance from the engine because there is a spacer with the manual clutch that keeps the sprocket from being RIGHT up against the engine
Thanks man, it's definitely fun being able to control the engagement. It would depend on your application to say weather a TC or Manual clutch would be better for you.
I'm not gonna lie, i've been pretty hard on the clutch and it shows no sign of wear yet. I ride it out alot due to the short wheelbase and no wheelie bar but it still holds just as strong as day one.
Is it possible to make a minibike with a direct chain drive? I want to build a minibike and wanna be able to ride without slipping clutches but i really cant afford a ctv or manual clutch. I want to know if it is possible to push the bike and hop on it and go, or if i really need some type of clutch.
Olivier Beucken no. You have to have some sort of clutch because the output shaft is always spinning therefore as soon as you start the bike it will take off. A standard centrifugal clutch which does all the work for you is about $20-$35. I have a MaxTorque clutch ( nice clutch) and it was $35+ shipping. Go check out GoPowerSports.com
I bet you could make a two wheel in the rear minibike. one wheel would be an idler, then the other wheel continuously driven on a swingarm that you lower to the ground when you want to take off.
So it’s not for shifting gears? Just for releasing the clutch? That’s cool can you do this to any mini bike motor? I went for a ride on a buddy’s mini bike with a auto clutch but it felt wierd not having a clutch I didn’t like not having that light weight feeling when you pull in the clutch plus with a clutch it’s easier to do wheelies but the only pocket bikes iv seen with a clutch are those super pocket bikes and I can’t find a legit site to get one all the sites have bad reviews and look shady
My mini bike rips 56mph new set up (older set up was 62mph and a rough and scary ride) with decent torque vs top end balance 2.6 ratio actually going with a new type of tire stop the 100 mile max on a rear tire before it goes bald... before its to bad to chance a ride. I found the secret after no info was available or shared to stop the rear tire problem at high speads. Pm me and i'll help you out if need a solution
Connour Taylor It has a GX160 motor making around 8hp. I just pulled off the centrifugal clutch and installed the 3d manual clutch setup. Took about an hour to install.
Do any other company’s make these? Iv looked these up and they just say out of stock and don’t seem to be coming back? Where can you get these? I want to build a mini bike for wheelies want a clutch for clutching up
Travis. Here is one of my Custom Builds. Are you going to paint it? Do a Root Beer metal Flake and put a white Solo Bobber seat on it. Will look Bad Ass. Just an Idea. justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/11/joe-made-cfc-custom-minibike-i-dig-fuel.html?m=1
Now if somebody would make it three or four speed transmission that would be awesome.
The average Joe’s tinkering And Repair Show I had a Cat with an Automatic 2 speed. That thing was a trip and it was factory.
Hold my beer. Im either putting a 80cc quad engine with tranny in my mini bike or I'm cutting off the tranny, plating the open end, and using it separately where my jackshaft used to be.
There’s no place to put it on be best would just to change the motor mounts and put a 110 engine in jt
Yep cut the rod off a 2 stroke motor and put a sprocket on the crank shaft wherr the magneto goes and now you have a chain drive transmission

It has a scrub brake. I actually lost brakes on a bug cruise we had and the decompression of the motor with the clutch out really helped slow me down!
Awesome. DEFINATELY going to do this to mine.
BAD ASS 👍 I grew up on clutches ,old school Big Red, CR 125 . Love It 👊
Ethan it was around 170 shipped i believe. Thanks for the complement. I just tore it down and painted it today. looks better!
sounds good!
I have that exact same bike very nice
awesome dude!
Nice, interesting, thanks for sharing.
Yup just the 2 sprockets. Although a jackshaft would be great its not a must. ebay sells the 5/8 to 3/4 key way sleeves btw.
what exactly are the jackshafts for ? To center the motor more on the bike and/or to have the option of which side of the tire you want to run your chain and sprocket?
This one is a vintage sears Runabout frame. thanks
Awesome
when you start it up and start to release the clutch after the thing by the engine starts to spin you can just use the throttle with no clutch or is it diffrent? i dont really know how to use a clutch.
What size sprockets are you running?
how did you set up that foot brake that is really cool I would like to do the same thing with my mini bike
That's called a scrub brake. They came standard on alot of vintage bikes. This bike is a 1964.

I did 42 as well stock predator 212 no gov and header pipe

They stick out the same distance. Sorry for the late response!
Is this clutch any better than a torque converter? btw the bike looks sweet!
Thanks man, it's definitely fun being able to control the engagement. It would depend on your application to say weather a TC or Manual clutch would be better for you.
Thank you
I am interested if its possible to push start this or will it just drift like I have experienced in a small atv
nightmare in action yeah you can push start it just fine. Push it, dump it and let the bike fully crank over then pull the clutch lever BACK in
You should run a centrifugual clutch on the mptor to that manual clutch on a jack shaft.
Why, to eliminate that pesky engine braking ?
@@tristanwwsd I think it would make the shifts and downshifts way smoother.
@@bradmccombs3925 There is no shifting.
@@tristanwwsd oops. Lol. I would have to re watch the video. LOL. I thought it was something else. It's been months since I wrote that first comment.
Does the bike pull hard, like when you're getting on it?
Thanks
Yes it does, no slippage so it's all the power to the tire.
So dose it sift or is it just a clutch also is mud/water a big deal
thsts sick
How can I convert my ct200 u to one of those plus is it better or faster then a torque converter
it's been some time since you posted this video, how's the clutch holding up?
I'm not gonna lie, i've been pretty hard on the clutch and it shows no sign of wear yet. I ride it out alot due to the short wheelbase and no wheelie bar but it still holds just as strong as day one.
+Travis F that's awesome, definitely worth the money.
my mini bike has a Tecumseh power sport 6.0 hp what clutch should i use for high speed?
Justca normal centrifugal clutch id go one or two teeth less than your current clutch
Is it possible to make a minibike with a direct chain drive? I want to build a minibike and wanna be able to ride without slipping clutches but i really cant afford a ctv or manual clutch. I want to know if it is possible to push the bike and hop on it and go, or if i really need some type of clutch.
Olivier Beucken you really need a clutch, you can find them on ebay for around 15 bucks.

nice were did u buy that header pipe it makes your bike sound mean
Adrenalinejunky I believe i ordered that off of either omb or ebay. its just a 3 step header pipe. thanks!
So it’s not for shifting gears? Just for releasing the clutch? That’s cool can you do this to any mini bike motor? I went for a ride on a buddy’s mini bike with a auto clutch but it felt wierd not having a clutch I didn’t like not having that light weight feeling when you pull in the clutch plus with a clutch it’s easier to do wheelies but the only pocket bikes iv seen with a clutch are those super pocket bikes and I can’t find a legit site to get one all the sites have bad reviews and look shady
The header i bought from ebay. Search gx clone header pipe.
it chugs because your expecting it to pull you at idol...
AsianPerson3 yeah
My mini bike rips 56mph new set up (older set up was 62mph and a rough and scary ride) with decent torque vs top end balance 2.6 ratio actually going with a new type of tire stop the 100 mile max on a rear tire before it goes bald... before its to bad to chance a ride. I found the secret after no info was available or shared to stop the rear tire problem at high speads. Pm me and i'll help you out if need a solution
what cc is your bike nd what mods did u do to make it into a manual instead of auto
Connour Taylor It has a GX160 motor making around 8hp. I just pulled off the centrifugal clutch and installed the 3d manual clutch setup. Took about an hour to install.
Out of curiosity, how much for something like that? Sweet mod, the bike looks great!!
Ethan Pelagalli about 190 I might buy one for my mini bike
Nick H lol same. i want one so bad
Ethan Pelagalli 200
Ethan Pelagalli its about $250 for the kit with the go kart hand lever and $186 for this minibike kit
Wish it was still that cheap lol mine cost 300+
Do any other company’s make these? Iv looked these up and they just say out of stock and don’t seem to be coming back? Where can you get these? I want to build a mini bike for wheelies want a clutch for clutching up
They're a factory setup on some harleys.
Would this be good for preparing someone for their first dirtbike
I'd say no, you really have to ride the clutch on these or you'll just pop wheelies
How does it sound so good?
It has a wrap around header pipe, gives it a deep throaty sound. You can purchase the header pipes on ebay for around 25 us.
What brand mini bike??
sounds like it's under water
Over Kast it's the exhaust
bass sound
I had a mini bike almost identical to that......
is that an old boonie bike frame?
Boonie bike has fat rear tire . Looks similar otherwise
What clutch did you use for this bike
3d motorsports
What about the breaks
How Much
Take my money !
como a cuanto corre ?
how much does it run?
Manuel Aguilar Aguilar around 150 us dollars.
What HP is that 5 or 8
Hi i need one manual transmition
So it has gears?
No sir, it has standard sprockets but a multi disk clutch to engage the motor to chain.
Old video but i have the same mini bike lol Bird engineering
The motors mounted backtofront around the wrong way so it will be off center weird
What the hell are you even talking about lol, this is exactly how these motors mount on mini bikes/go karts ect
does it have more power than a cintrifucal?
ChiefJustice Middleton it doesn't necessarily give you any more power, its a clutch so it connects your power to the wheel.
@jannis joplin really?
Sounds like Ducati
Yea your back sprocket to big to toquee
Travis. Here is one of my Custom Builds. Are you going to paint it? Do a Root Beer metal Flake and put a white Solo Bobber seat on it. Will look Bad Ass. Just an Idea.
