Hopefully Coleman sells this as an upgrade kit or they do a full on running change to all future 200u's and start selling them with the suspension forks.
Thank you ! No more jarring my teeth out over rough terrain ! I ordered all the necessary parts from Coleman's website and they shipped them a DAY LATER ! ! Sweeet ! Cant wait to do the upgrade ! Thanks for all the info. A hard tail I can take, but no front suspension makes for a VERY rough ride !
Minibike Monday!!!!! Git 'r dun! Awesome upgrade!
Thanks Red Beard for keeping the updates on this kit. Also great vids, I watch and then go see what I can do. can't wait for this kit I need it asafp lol..
Great intro! Happy New Year to you and your family and friends!
Love the mini bike! Happy New year's
Im glad you did this. Ive told you a 8 kabillion and 3 times how awesome it looked. Nice.
Awesome, thats a huge upgrade! The older i get the more i appreciate suspension. Been in the single digit temps here so it's too cold to ride.
FireAndGasoline same on the cold side. And suspension is always nice
FireAndGasoline I think its about single digits here too but I got my first mini bike for Christmas so I've been riding anyway lol!
+FireAndGasoline it's around 20° today so too cold for me to be riding
It's been around 5 degrees all week in Detroit but I've been riding in the snow.
I now how you feal i live in North pa which is one of the coldest spot in pa
I love watching your how-to vids, helps me out a ton! Thanks!
RED BEARD,
I have the Coleman camo bike. Gasoline sloshes out around the fuel cap. There are videos about the same problem with other Coleman mini bikes.
THE GREATEST SERVICE YOU COULD DO FOR COLEMAN MINIBIKE OWNERS IS TO COME UP WITH A TRIED AND TRUE PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, P L E A S E!
Thanks for this video. Wanted to see this for a long time.
Nice to see you working with coleman to improve their products, or at least offer upgrades. Nice job!
Looks awesome with the new forks.
Happy New Year !
Sweet the forks are universal can’t wait to see what you guys do
To this thing keep up the good work guys! Been a fan for a bit ! Now your an inspiration. RedBeard you rock bud
Thank you for watching and supporting us man
Anytime you give me idea bud information is alway key
what are the parts numbers and cost for this front suspension up grade. not seeing anything?
I Hope Coleman is listening , Cause this is the Bike I want . They should add this Model and call it the RBG 200 .and Give you guy, credit for a job Well Done .
Looks great. You should make your own handle bars for it. 1/2 inch black pipe at the hardware store is the same outside diameter as 7/8 handle bars, and you can use a standard pipe bender to make.
+John Chassie-Rideout never thought of that. We will probably do that
Happy new year red and lonny
Happy new year 😃
Hey Redbeard!:
Success! I ordered the front shocks and tripple tees to convert the CT 200 U to front shock forks. I didn't order everything. Just the main Coleman parts. The rest of the stuff I think I can get locally.
I first made the order direct with Coleman back at the end of May. It has now been three months and two weeks. The parts came today. I'll keep you up to date as I get the scooter fitted out.
by the way this is my the second video i have watched from you, the first being the budget mini bike video
happy new years
Would love to see you build a home made drift trike using the front forks from the CT200EX when they start selling them. I know there not needed but would look cool. I am betting these are going to be popular with people who build there own mini bike frames. Cant wait to put suspension on my CT200U.
Good stuff RB
I know this video is 5 years old but I feel like I have to make this comment anyway. I took one of those CT200u to Colorado on an elk hunt (the area we where hunting had some ATV trails and we didnt have an ATV to use so we bought this mini bike for $500 and used it). One person rode the bike (Me) and packed muled most of our gear 3 miles up a very rough ATV trail back and forth (so 6 miles round trip). We made 4.25 round trips with this mini bike and it did it amazingly well. The only reason it did .25 of one of the trips is because one of the other people riding it tried to ride it up this one very steep rocky section that I would get off the bike and walk it through. Well the torque converter I installed on it didn't like being held wide open and not the wheels not actually spinning so the belt burned up. If he would have walked the bike through that one little section I have no doubt it would have made 5 or 6 (6 mile) round trips no problem. These things are surprisingly powerful. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the centrifugal clutch and put a torque converter on it. It makes it have more low end torque and also higher top end speed. Mine goes 40/45 mph
Not only is it super capable, it hardly takes up any space in a truck bed, all you need is some basic tools, maybe a torque gun just Incase and you can go pretty much anywhere
Big difference in the look. Bigger handle bars and it should look great!
Happy New Year's
The frankenman or the Colemanstien, happy new year Red Beard!!!
I Love the Coleman CT200U and Happy New Year!!!!
Motet parts
it is my first bike and it looks really cool. also will i need a battery to run the lights and turn signals, or does the preadetor generate enough power by itself?
44,944 c'mon 45k subscribers for one of the most honest awesome channel on youtube
+Desiree Ruiz thanks man. We finally hit it
come on coleman , get this kit out for availability !!! spring will be here soon
Thanks for the video! Curious did the bolt have a space or washer under the top horizontal piece of handle bars
I would definitely get a front suspension upgrade kit for my ct200u if Coleman makes it available.
man I need this for a Colorado hunting trip this October!!! man ... lol🤯
So when this suspension kit coming out? I really want something like that
Coleman fsk200u is the part number. Good luck!
need to put a taillight and brake light also build a small trailer so when you go on a long trail ride or overnight stay keep up the good work jim
We plan on doing a big ride as soon as the weather gets a little warmer
RBG with all the moods on a 212 were do u gap the spark plug at let me know thx
Awesome
Thanks for showing us your VIN number at 13:00 haha
i would do this upgrade if they put then into production. keep us updated please. love my colman
thank you!
Do u have any suggestions where I can get two myd fnr transaxle
HI! Redbeard: My CT200 U now has front shocks. I had to drill two holes in the upper triple tree in order to mount the front rack. The mounting bosses in the lower triple tree for the front fender bracket were side by side instead of one behind the other. So I hammered out a new fender bracket with the proper holes. I installed a bigger cushy seat from Monster. I didn't like the muffler under the seat and so added a custom header, along with a couple of pieces of pipe to run a different muffler out the back. Like you mentioned in the video, I might like the handlebars just a bit higher. I am also thinking of adding some clamp-on folding foot pegs, a little further back on the frame so it will make it easier to stand up when climbing over rough terrain or climbing hills.
I have an original Tote Gote with the same engine and torque converter as the Coleman. The
Coleman with the front shocks does ride smoother than the Tote Gote. I'm figuring the Coleman may be around 100 pounds lighter, and a bit faster than the Tote Gote. But I'm not looking for more speed.
I do thank you for the inspiration.
I would look at putting some Rox Risers ( no idea if they would have anything that would fit, but I've used them on a bunch of different bikes) on that beast instead of trying to find some higher handlebars .. paint everything and put it back together, would look mint.. super stoked it worked out, can't wait for coleman to start releasing the parts for it..
NICE ! how's the main frame and regular forks' steel quality ? about how thick is the frame tubing's wall ? I've got a Yerf bike and it feels chintzy vs American DOM tubing
I had the same kick stand problem with my 200EX. I took a big ol' pipe wrench and bent the stand out about 1" End of problem.
Hey guys. Really inspired by what you are doing. I was wondering what you are doing with the old forks. My little sister hit a tree and bent mine and I could use them
Is that front suspension kit available yet? Definitely interested. Do you sell the extra belts for the torque converter? What air pressure are you running in those tires? Thanks, Larry
Hey Red. I've got a camo bike. Put an exhaust pipe and muffler and series 30 torque converter. Tops out at 34 mph with no other mods. Moved govener spring out to last hole. I weigh 170lbs. . not bad. Trail ride it here in NH. Rocks roots water you name it. Put a good 25 miles of rough terrain on it.
I didt even know you could do front suspention on those things
Hi love tryout vids, question, what’s the width between the forks on the ct200u-ex?? Trying to decide on a rim package for a custom build. Thx
Looks mean as hell man
+Sean Clark I love it
So when do you think the ex front end will be available for sale?
hey mr red beard, i just bought a 60s harley davidson acp mini bike,with a 212 cc preadator engine on it.the bike is missing the throttle and fuel line,[the tank is mounted on the bike not the engine] and the clutch and chain. the clutch and chain are number 41 size teeth,and the clutch[centrifugal] is a 3/4 bore. do you have any suggestions on where to find the parts for cheap? the handle size is 7/8
What size and thread type bolt for the neck tube do you need for this conversion ? I forgot to order it with the parts from Colman
Have you guys thought about putting a rear shock on the ctu200ex some how?
you guys make me want to get a mini bike now... if they didnt cost an arm and leg when your a poor guy. lol great video
Do you know if they came out with front suspension forks for the ct200u or know what other forks will work
So were you able to make the headlight work? I have a ct200u and want a light but don't want to do the whole battery thing.
I bought my ct 200U (red) for 250.00 new at Wal-Mart on January 25th. Keep an eye out for a deal like this. The torque converter is a huge upgrade over the clutch, and now I want to buy the shocks as soon as I can.
Did coleman release the fork upgrade for this?
Where can I buy one of these front ends for my ct200u? I saw your video on getting the EX front forks and installing them on the ct200u.
That looks so AWSOME now I might buy a couple, It Looks son much more Rugged !!!!!!!!!
Great video. I see the young fella is sitting on a monster moto, what do you think of the monster mini bikes? I'm looking to buy something strictly for a pit bike at drag racing events. What would be a great, cheap, and used bike to buy for this purpose?
Would it be hard or worth it to just add a couple springs under the seat to add some suspension?
What will be a good clutch set up for my road go kart
what would happen if I used one of those rear bicycle suspension springs for front suspension on my mini bike?
You think a mbx11 front forks would fit a ct200u ?
It looks like you put that front end on backwards with the bar sticking forward like that did you put the handle bars on backwards or the whole front end on backwards
Cool!
Did this fork ever become available? Would love to add this to my bike.
Greg I have a MM212 mega moto and can’t find a front suspension I tried Go Power Sports and they only have the Mb80 and Mb105 for the small mini bikes I’d be happy with the Coleman CT200EX or Coleman 200X but can’t find the large mini bike suspension and plan on making it full suspension by adding a swing arm to add rear shocks to. If you know of any sites even a used one as I’ll paint and clean it’ll as needed. Thanks in advance.
Did coleman end up making a kit for the suspension?
20:39 Maybe see if the Monster Moto handlebars would work?
Hey Red Beard I just started up my own channel, I’m geared towards the ATV rebuild and mods. I just uploaded my 14th video. I just wanted to congratulate you on the growth and professionalism of your videos what your are doing is great work keep it up brother!
+Lansdown Family Racing well I appreciate it man. It's a ton of work and hard to keep it fun after a while. I'll check it out.
Hey @1837hfd I just followed your channel, but it looks like you've got it set to TH-cam kids or something like that, with it set up like that it doesn't give subscribers notifications. Still planning on making more videos?
which is better? Coleman Front Suspension VS Gopowersport Front Suspension? My Ct200U vibrate too much hope the suspension smooth it out a bit
How did you add the rear shocks to the camo bike?
Did Colman get the fork kit going?
Thanx
would kill for a bit of rear suspension on the red bike. guess a suspension seat would work
Said same thing and did a spring kit on mine made it a hole new bike
@@davidpayne4084 Where'd you get the kit from?
can you give a link to buy the parts for the front suspension swap.
Have a question regarding possibly using a Coleman CT200U front end on a Yukon Trail Puma 200. Is this possible? Forks for the Puma are no longer available and mine has front end damage, fork tubes bent but shocks still working but very loose. Just need new fork assembly. Any thoughts?
Red beard? Whats the best bang for your buck mini bike you can buy new ?please answer im ready to buy right now
What's the difference between the ct200u-a vs the ct200u? I have a u-a and I was wondering if parts are interchangeable for the most part.
Does the ct200u and the ct200u-ex have the same drivetrain from the factory?
regarding the kickstand why couldn't you make a drop down stand on the back like a tote gote?
i have been looking for a craigslist china 4 wheeler to put a predator and 30 series on. have you ever considered doing a build series on this?
+david adams people has ask us too do one
What do I do about the hose coming out of the valve cover???
I would do that mod and a set of z bars to get the height back on the handles. Get add on or upgrade.
Id keep an eye on those stock cams with 18lb springs for lob chatter
I own 3 newer mini bikes but can’t find a front suspension anywhere and can buy a new Coleman 200X but that’s 1 to many but I may have no choice at Walmart for 499. Same price as the ct200U with racks but I own that one already and go power sports only carries the Mb80 and Mb105 to small for my bike any ideas would be great thanks!
I really enjoy all you videos, that's for all the technical help I just bought our first ct200u and I want to add an LED light. How can I add a charger to it so I won't need a battery?
Also curious about this one!
love the videos! just got this bike yesterday I want to do the same suspension upgrade. hey I tried to use the code to save some cash at gopowersports and its not valid anymore.
Does colman have a shock set up for the ct200u_a
They make bar extenders also to raise the height.
+sabrom I think I have some
Can you connect the light on the Coleman ct200u
Has coleman our this package together? I called them a few months ago and they said you could not do it. Kind of frustrating as I love this minibike and would really benefit from a front suspension. If not could you share what all was ordered to make this work?
Can u make or just buy handlebar risers? I see many add the to dirtbike or atvs. Just cosider that a cheap easy fix to low bars. It lokks nice with that aetup.
+Ray Madore I think I have some somewhere
