I've had one since June of 2021. Seems to be a sturdy dependable minibike..except I had to replace the recoil starter assembly it failed when I tried to start the bike this past spring. I found a direct drop in replacement from Hipa. Took me about 10 minutes to install. Final drive chain adjustment can be tricky there's a fine line between 'too loose' and 'too tight'. Better to keep it on the loose side rather than too tight. I keep the chains well oiled and put a few drops of oil on the end of the crankshaft on the outboard side of the clutch every once in a while. The owner's manual recommends checking valve clearance after 10 hours of operation but I've yet to do that it's about due for that the engine runs well and usually starts on the first pull but it has to be choked some for every start up. Regular maintenance is quite simple. Good tips in this video.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and advice. I just got the BT200x today 👍🏼. New subscriber here and look forward to future content on the mini bikes.
Converted My Coleman BT200X to NGK BE6ES non resistor plug. I use on my Honda GCX160 lawnmower Champion 3500 watt generator and Ariens 208cc snow blower. This makes these engines start on 1 pull unless sitting for 6 months then two pulls max. I also use B&S 5W-30 Synthetic on all these engines. Coupled with recreation grade non-ethanol blend gas with seafoam and these engines all run better than new.
Thank you for doing videos on the bt200x! I just bought one and am waiting for it to arrive at my local Walmart. I’ve been watching all your videos on the bike to familiarize myself as I am new to these mini bikes.
Love all of ur videos!!! Legit the best ones. U are so informative and easy to follow and understanding and how you break it all down is so cool. God bless 🙌🏻👏🏻
That was fun thanks. Looking to get my kiddos into bikes and seriously considering getting one of these for myself to ride with them. Big dirt bikes would potentially just leave them in the dust. Plus minis are fun 🤙
Purchased a Coleman BT200X to use as a tote-goat for following streams up the mountains. Put a gold pan in the backpack, strap on the .357 mag, and go explore. My interest is how far and long will a tank of gas take bike. Rick in WA state.
My wife got me the EXR for Christmas, I removed the stopper that hits the screw - went 5 miles faster ... removed the spring now I’m doing about 35 . Governer is still on . Is it going to explode 😂
Dude put a time stamp of the different areas cause I was just looking to do the oil on my coleman bt200x that I just bough off of facebook market place used but it works awesome but I'm changing everything I just got a new spark plug I have the oil and got better oil cause the governor is gone so every one says to use 10w-40 instead of the normal 10w-30 I dunno but I'm about to put it in I looked all over and that's the basic consensus of it
I just wanted to change my back tire cause I've never had one of these bikes before and no one has just made a video on how to change the back tire with out messing up everything and even after watching this I'm still just as in the dark but I do know random little fact tho so that's nice but can you just make a video where you change the back tire for the BT200X
Those are the best Coleman 200X mini bikes compared to others I wanted one but couldn’t find one so I bought the ct200U instead to go with my Mega moto 212cc max. They are both good bikes but I prefer the disk brakes on my Mega moto max over the drum brake on my Coleman ct200U.
Awesome video. Like your other channel I love how you are so real and honest. I think I'm blocked on mowing channel cuz it wouldn't let me super chat. God bless and keep up great work.
These bikes are a blast. My throttle is a little stiff. It feels like my wrist is on fire after about 10 minutes of running ha ha. Maybe I'm just a weakling. I probably need to make some adjustments.
Check the cable for kinks and try to inspect the moving pieces of the carb linkage for over tightening. Lubricate the throttle cable on both ends with a nice thin lubricant such as 3 in 1 oil or a good bicycle cable spray lube
Lots of good info but I wish you would have tried to rotate your rear wheel after adjusting your chain and brake and tightening the axle nut. I've been have a lot of issues with my CT200X and CT200U-EX where the rear wheels starts to bind as I tighten the axle nut - even when the brake is completely disconnected. New bearings installed and the axle/spacer/washer assembled correctly but I am stumped! Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
I have a problem with my mini bike bt200x. When the motorboat runs, gasoline leaks out of the gas tank cap. I already changed the cover but it is still the same, what will it be?
I think it is important to change the oil after the engine is broken in to remove any metal pieces that might get in the oil during breakin. Then change at least once a year after.
With regard to the amount of oil these engines take. I have three of these bikes, and I cannot get more than 16 ounces of oil in any of them, despite what the owners manual says. I called Coleman directly at the number supplied in the assembly booklet, and asked them. The person I spoke with had no idea and said nobody ever asked her that question before, so she asked the "mechanic" as she referred to him. According to her, the mechanic said 16 ounces is all the correct amount of oil for these engines.
Just got mine the other day!!! This video was so helpful. Also noticed how clean your bike is, how do you wash the bike? Is it okay to just spray it down with the hose and soap?
Also it's hard for me to start it by puing the chain and holding the gas cuz it takes off on me cuz I have to start it off the bike but so when I'm sitting on I can't start it I have to start it when I'm off I'm not strong enough to pull the string using there some other way to make it easier for like switch or something ..I am a girl so
I got one just like that a couple weeks ago. It idles too high and moves unless I keep the break on. I can’t find an idle screw like I’ve seen on older models. Do you know how to adjust the idle down?
I love how you go through everything slow and a teaching moment for the new riders Are you thinking about getting a stage 1 kit from gopowersports for the engine
Thank you. I am considering it only because it looks cooler to dump the factory exhaust and intake box. The speed and power is fine as is for where we ride so it would be a $80 (?) investment just for appearance...
It adds about 1.5 to 2 horse power It takes about 10 minutes to install And cost around $80 I love it, it is a great buy Did you take out the throttle screw to go around 25 mph
I did not adjust anything on this bike yet. I did however reach 25mph on the MM80 by only backing off the throttle stop screw. I show that in the video I posted last month where we rode at Big Nasty ATC park (Thumbnail says “Riding Dirty”)
SHOCKED THAT NOT ONE PERSON COMMENTED THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN USING THESE COLEMAN MINI BIKES OR ANY SMALL ENGINE RECREATION VEHICLES, AND THATS THAT U MUST ONLY RUN NON ETHANOL GASOLINE!!!!
@@FitInMy50sVlog correct, you won't have carburetor problems for years if u run ethanol free gas meanwhile everyone else running ethanol gasoline will be having problems with carburetor and gunning issues very soon
Your front wheel is on backwards! The deeper recess belongs on the left side in order to center the wheel with the frame. There is an arrow mark on the tire that should be pointing in the forward rotation direction.
Any ideas of how to stop gas from leaking out of the gas cap ? ,the cap does not stay on. I even replaced it with a better built autozone cap, still the same problem
I'm wondering if this is just a case where their system just isn't set up properly? I know it took them over a year to have a correct and more accurate 200U parts listing. shopping.na3.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.3546502/sc.27/category.141758/.f

How many hours did you have on this bike when you did this maintenance?
Mini bikes. Not changed much since the 60s. Ride them for an hour and then work on them for 3 hours.
And require a lower back massage as well 🤣
Oil specification is .63qt (.6L)
Have you checked your valve adjustment

What kind of oil i should put, thank you
10w30
Synthetic 10w30
How do you turn the headlight on?
I have a problem with my mini bike bt200x. When the motorboat runs, gasoline leaks out of the gas tank cap. I already changed the cover but it is still the same, what will it be?
Can you show what to do my chain to tight so it hard to move it stay stuck and drags when I go forward what do u do
How do you fix a engine lock on this bike?
I think it is important to change the oil after the engine is broken in to remove any metal pieces that might get in the oil during breakin. Then change at least once a year after.
I agree. No more than 5 hours max on first run but I change my oil very often in non-filtered engines.
I just picked one up it’s still in the box can you make a video on the proper way to Grease and service the clutch that be awesome
scott nadeau You don’t grease and service the clutch.

Dan question, i have the same bike brand new, is it normal to have the bike half throttle before it starts to take off, the engine boggs down until about half throttle before it starts to take off?
No it should launch as soon as you crack the throttle. Make sure the clutch is not messed up.
Remove the jackshaft chain and see if it bogs without a load. If it does it's an engine issue, if it revs nice it's a drivetrain issue.
I recommend ordering a performance kit from gopowersports.com The kit I have from them came with a straight pipe exhaust, performance air filter, a bigger jet for the carburetor for more fuel
