Another great video bro. Ive been thinking about ordering from volts. I watch royaljz videos and I love the race and the cruise scene they got going on out west. I'm still waiting to see an old greyhound engine built on here. I've yet to find a video of one and I have a greyhound on my doodlebug and I love it. It's been holding up really strong
I have three Greyhounds. Two are utility engines and one is built for the minibike. They're just an odd clone with the unique side cover and five bolt head. Build them just like any other engine and all parts are available. Studz racing and NR Racing still sells the side cover and rocker cover gaskets. My Greyhound has been sitting on the shelf since I built a 224. But today I removed my stock Hisun 196 and jackshaft from my second bike and put the Greyhound on it with a torque converter. Pretty strong runner for what it is.
Another solid video! I run 40 chain on most my bikes. Primarily because they are mostly off road and 8 inch rims. I like the durability and strength. Also they are forgiving as far as alignment.
We prefer 35 chain because it's lighter which equals less rotating mass. The 35 chain is plenty strong too as long as you use a quality brand like RLV. We've used 35 chain on a 40hp GX390 engine in a go kart with no issue.
@@agkracing140thanks I’ve been working on my 212 mod 2 only lacking a cam and possibly a little bigger valves. Running great now! What is a good street tire I can get in 6” rims Thanks for the input !! 👍✌️
Awesome video ! I absolutely love the bike ! I have to be honest , you made me a little nervous when you went across that sand patch in the road . Anyway , what a badass bike ! I e been looking to get one so I’ve been going through videos to see what type of bikes people are building and the mods that can be used . And another thing , not sure where you live but I absolutely love the area too . I unfortunately live in shit hole New Jersey so whenever I see videos of other areas of the country it reminds me to get out of this state because there’s so much more out there ! Thanks for the video and stay safe
wow like #4....that's the earliest I've ever been!...and this was the perfect timing for this vid as well, I was just contemplating the switch from a #35 chain and sprockets to a larger sized RK Gold 420MXZ
That is one sweet mini bike @Black66 I think its about time for you to open a shop and do custom builds. I feel confident that you would have a long waiting list from day 1! Now this is off topic however in my quest to reach speeds like you I am plagued with one problem which is out of round/balance wheels. Because you have done so many builds I wanted to ask you if you have ever had any stock wheels that were out of round or warped? The bike that I have been building for way too long is almost complete but my wheels are out of round, even when spinning them by hand it is pretty noticeable. My bike is a Realtree RT200 which is the same as a Coleman RB200, and nearly identical to the Mega Moto 212, minus the front brake and factory torque converter. Coleman sent me out 2 replacement wheels and they seem to be just as bad as the originals. I have replaced the factory tires with some SunF tires and replaced the cheap stock wheel bearings with some quality Japanese bearings but the wheels still wobble bad. Is this a common problem with factory coleman wheels or could I possibly be doing something wrong, or is my luck so bad that I have 4 wobbly coleman wheels?
I've had a couple wobble a little ,but nothing too bad. I did replace the Coleman CT200U-EX wheel with a MB200 wheel from GPS when I did the disk brake conversion on the Coleman. That thing spins true. Maybe you could put some nice aftermarket wheels on there?
Nice Stuff I'm surprised by the absolutely Steady Solid ride what Tires are you using ? what is the outside diameter ? Beautiful Toys and Great Location for it too Enjoy it 👍
I've been playing with my ratio a bit. It's a Massimo Baja Warrior MB 200, it came with a 50 tooth on the rear wheel and a 12 tooth on the centrifugal clutch, (I can't recall the sizes of the 2 sprockets on the jackshaft off the top of my head). Initially I went with a 14 tooth clutch but it still would max out the RPM to early and I could only get about 48 mph. Next I dropped to a 46 tooth on the rear which got me up to about 55 mph before valve float occurred and obviously no more RPM at that point so I then installed a 36 tooth rear sprocket which put me at about 75 mph before valve float. I'm now running a 32 tooth rear sprocket, stock jackshaft sprocket sizes, and 14 tooth clutch. I should say that at this same time I went to some 25 lb valve springs which allow the engine to rev out to about 6,500 RPM and I managed to get a two way average of 73 mph (honestly it probably had a bit more in it but I'm still running SunF knobbys and based on watching them free spin with the bike on a lift I think I'm already exceeding anything close to safe by at least 25 mph) With the 50 and 46 tooth sprockets the acceleration was definitely a lot harder. In fact it was brutally hard. As in wheel spin and standing the frt wheel straight up in the air while spinning the rear wheel. And that wasn't even a full throttle launch. With the 32 tooth rear sprocket it still accelerates very strong. Strong enough that a 20 mph roll on with another Massimo Baja Warrior MB 200 next to me (he's running a 10 hp Briggs and Stratton with a torque converter and a governor delete) I'm instantly 5 bike lengths ahead and adding another 5 bike lengths every couple seconds. It will still pull the front wheel off the ground by about 4 inches if I snap the throttle open at 25 mph. However...I cannot take off hard at all, I've got to wait till I'm rolling about 15 mph and then roll on the throttle. If I try to hit it hard from anything less than 15 mph the engine just completely overwhelms the clutch. I've done a couple clutch mods that made it better but I can still make it glow red hot without any effort. Unless someone knows of a clutch that'll actually grab and hold I'm going to have to go with plan B (I've got a 5 speed motorcycle transmission and clutch setup off a Honda Enduro). The engine I'm running is a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Vtwin 479cc. Originally it was a 16hp but I've done a governor delete, a Kehein 36mm round slide, 25 lb valve springs, a set of headers and a minor port and polish on the heads. I'm speculating that it's around 22 to 24 hp and probably 25 ftlbs of torque. It runs a 1 inch crankshaft. Any ideas about a clutch that'll handle it, and also some street tires that will match the stock size (19× 9 ×8.50 I think) I'd really appreciate it.
@@PAPII247 I've got one I took with my phone strapped to the handlebars that recorded before the carb swap and the 32 tooth sprocket. It's loaded on my FB but honestly the quality really sucks. Between my phone apparently having some issues recording smoothly if I'm moving much faster than the speed of snail, and the wind noise the video looks and sounds very much like I'm reentering the earth's atmosphere and it's not going very well. I'm trying to get some recording equipment to actually start a TH-cam channel. The planned content will be mostly how to videos on modifications and repairs on minibikes go carts, as well as some late 70s through mid 90s Honda Xl, SL, XR, motorcycles and some Kawasaki 4 wheelers that I seem to be collecting enough of to qualify as a hoarder. There will probably be an occasional chainsaw (using/repairing) video and I'm sure there will be some firearms content as I have a small shooting range here on my property (out to 150 yards, rifles, pistols, and shotguns). There will be an emphasis on keeping all these projects as low dollar as possible while still getting results that are tangible. I'm no longer able to work a full time job due to health issues and since I'm relying solely on a VA disability check I tend to do everything myself, machine work paint, etc... and I think there are probably some folks out there who may be as broke as I am but aren't ready to give up on having fun, building stuff and riding like an idiot while grinning like a fool. When I was able to work I was a machinist, builder, and mechanic. I have been doing this stuff almost 38 years, spent many years as a engine/performance specialist at a Harley dealership, built engines for some pro drag racing teams (Top Fuel Harley based dragbikes) and spent some time as a research and development technician for Harley Davidson Motor Company, and did a few years restoring vintage raceways. All of this stuff was done with extremely smart and talented men teaching me and I feel that the knowledge these men passed on to me should now be passed on to others who are interested in such things instead of letting it die with me. Of course a significant portion of content will probably involve me doing stuff that's probably not a good idea (like going over 70 mph on cheap minibike tires that are likely at best good for 40 mph, or running myself over with an ATV. That kinda stuff is surprisingly normal in my day to day routine. So if you'd like to see some pictures and video that is not good enough for a TH-cam video my FB is under this same name and my profile picture is my beloved Gracie Doggy (RIP) wearing an olive drab Vietnam era booney hat. I have been recovering from an eye injury so I haven't posted much over the last month or so but hopefully there will soon be a video of me on the minibike doing a 70 plus mph speed run as well as showing off the new paint I did a couple weeks ago.
sometimes its worth reading the comments you sir,are a creative monster indeed...a vtwin in a mini....you should make a vid of it. one of the projects i have is a vintage snowmobile engine opposing twin im trying to stuff into a frame myself. for the clutch,have you considered modifying a snowmobile belt tav setup? they take tremendous abuse being hammered by big cc engines yes? ive seen smaller tavs setups too? for the tires,im not sure,im running Dot street tires on 8` solid rims myself,at around 55 mph.
@@BeatersRus I ran one of the generic 30 series TAV/torque converters on the predator 212 that was in the minibike when I got it and I loved it except for one problem, belt life seemed short if you ride hard with sprockets set up for high speed, and the fact that I'm 200 lbs. There are some bigger 40 series versions but after talking to a few people it seems like to get one that will handle the HP and load I'm putting on the drivetrain would be about $400 and I can't swing that on a VA disability check. What I did do was use some parts from a Chinese 4 wheeler centrifugal clutch, and some pieces of the centrifugal clutch I was already running, and ended up with a 1.5" larger diameter clutch that has 3 clutch shoes on pivots and uses a friction material similar to brake shoes. So far no slipping issues and I've put about 300 miles on it. As far as the Snow mobile TAV setups, I had actually considered trying one out but unfortunately where I'm at (south Texas) there aren't many snow mobiles around to pick parts off of and since I know very little about which ones might have parts that would fit where I need them to fit, I was leery of buying anything off the internet just to find out I can't use it. If I could get my hands on some to play with I'd love to try one out. The opposed twin engines are cool, I'm wanting one for a small airplane I want to build, called a "Legal Eagle" it looks kinda like a Piper Cub but smaller.
Nice job, I believe this bike is my fav. Since you have been doing this much longer than I ,,I can use some help, I only have money for one and I want a stage 2 kit. (No more)what bike do you think is the best , to built on for speed/power? I’m thinking the mega moto I’ve had a Coleman there good, I just think the frame could be tightened up a bit. Any input would be appreciated greatly!!! ❤
Thanks! The Mega Moto 80/105 is my favorite modern bike. I like the way they handle and ride. Especially stretched out a little. Yes they are on the small side but you can still fit big power in the small frame with a small block engine or even electric.
@@quinnfoster1234 I have only built three e-bikes. A QS90, QS120 and a Kunray 3000w . The three e-bikes are on the e-nike playlist if you haven't seen them already. The QS bikes had EM controllers. The QS stuff works fantastic for me but I like the new controlles coming out from electro and CO. The TRUMOTO Noisy Cricket.
This this the video I’ve been waiting for just built a stage 3 212cc slapped it on a stretched mega moto and been playing with the gears haven’t found a good one yet. I way 240lb on a 6” wheel.
Hey, Do this. Take your cylinder head off and send it to David Vizard. He will do a show on how it’s best modified. He will port the runners and optimize the chamber for area ruling with flow balls. It will pick up port energy and probably get 85 or better from that. Nice job.
I love your channel but i just dont understand what the different size chain does. I do get the gear ratios and i always cant wait until your next video sir. 👍🇺🇸😎Roger
I got a old rupp and my cousin was saying I could make it straight up chain drive, instead of the torque converter, but it goes pretty fast with just that, might have to check something like this out later
There are many videos on the channel about hydro brake installation. Check out the playlist. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/VbcpA0jdSIw/w-d-xo.html
Hey all, I just got my 1st coleman B200r. Wanting to engine swap. Was looking at the predator 224, 212 with a stage 1 kit, but recently saw a 301cc and got curious. What say you?
you cant do anywheres even close to both unless you use a belt driven Tav. even then your stock warrior will go 52 mph. start there,and work on a engine build for later install. get used to riding it with the stock engine then swap and really FLY. Please be safe and wear a Helmet.
Yeah it's got speed but what's it got for hill climbing power... nothing you'll burn the clutch up on straight chain...but if you add a torque unit and a performance muffler youll have more top speed and more torque for climbing power
Check out the playlist. The channel is about testing parts and the occasional build thrown in from time to time. These bikes keep the same combo long enough to make a video and then the parts get swapped out.
Check out the Mega Moto playlist. I show 0 to 30 times with full acceleration on quite a few different set ups. th-cam.com/video/xV8i59aGUao/w-d-xo.html
can you shout out what type of brakes you got? i have a mega moto just like this one with a 212 predator but i need to add better/ hydraulic brakes and a front brake disk as well
Check out the Mega Moto performance playlist. It shows the entire build . There is a video in there with the front and rear brake install. The parts used are in the description of the videos. Thanks for watching!
I see you are using a Max TQ Clutch for that engine. Is that also cammed with flywheel & rod? Im about to stage 2 mine but are worried that Max TQ clutch wont hold up to the power output. I currently have a Max TQ with Stage 1.
@@anthonyh.1512 As long as it wont slip with 265 Hot Cam, Billet Rod & Flywheel with 22lb Springs, Exhaust & 22mm Mikuni. Im going to be Ice Racing on the lake this year with my Scoot lol. Im trying to slap some people out there. I just Picked my tires today.
@@rocknrye9273 na yea don’t worry. It will do just great. They’re some of the best clutches you can get before you get to the race ones. And they’re prices great.
This is impressive!! Just bought my first BT200 and started modding. Curious if anyone has tried using the rear sprocket as a disc brake calliper? Sounds nuts but a friend of mine has been doing it on an annual go cart build/race event for a few years now and says he’s never had issues.
Just wondering where you got your motor mount spacer. I was think about doing a predator swap on my mega moto 80 and dont really want to cut off the oil drain bolt. Thanks.
Yo, how many miles you get to a rear tire? I lined my tire up straight as I could get it. I burned my tire up in about 150-200 miles only road not doing anything but going 45-65mph and it blew when I was going about 55-60mph I knew it was a chance riding on a balding tire. Dude these cheap sketch as fk tires don't last no matter what. I'm considering buying aircraft tires to save money if they will last. A 6ply tractor slick didn't last either. You got any tips? I under inflated and same shit. My front tire is like new. Idk but need help
Yes, I ride a lot of pavement so on some of mine I use a 6-inch slick. Also, I am looking into other street treaded options but I still have to do a lot more riding to see if the mileage is any better on the new tires.
I need another opinion. My mini bike hits around 45mph (its a doodle bug with a 212) and it feels like valve float is hitting. How big of a difference will 18 lb valve springs make? I also am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a 50 tooth rear sprocket for a db30
@@TheDrift_Lab I heard the 22lb would grind the cam lobes down more than 18lb. I do long distance riding, so I don't want to get a new cam for it if I don't have to. What setup do you have ?
They are GoPowerSports forks. I don't think there is an option for the stock forks, but it wouldn't be too hard to fabricate a bracket. Check out the Mega Moto playlist for the entire build. th-cam.com/video/VbcpA0jdSIw/w-d-xo.html

for the tires,im not sure,im running Dot street tires on 8` solid rims myself,at around 55 mph.
@@PAPII247 I now have a video that is on my TH-cam channel.
@@BeatersRus I ran one of the generic 30 series TAV/torque converters on the predator 212 that was in the minibike when I got it and I loved it except for one problem, belt life seemed short if you ride hard with sprockets set up for high speed, and the fact that I'm 200 lbs. There are some bigger 40 series versions but after talking to a few people it seems like to get one that will handle the HP and load I'm putting on the drivetrain would be about $400 and I can't swing that on a VA disability check. What I did do was use some parts from a Chinese 4 wheeler centrifugal clutch, and some pieces of the centrifugal clutch I was already running, and ended up with a 1.5" larger diameter clutch that has 3 clutch shoes on pivots and uses a friction material similar to brake shoes. So far no slipping issues and I've put about 300 miles on it. As far as the Snow mobile TAV setups, I had actually considered trying one out but unfortunately where I'm at (south Texas) there aren't many snow mobiles around to pick parts off of and since I know very little about which ones might have parts that would fit where I need them to fit, I was leery of buying anything off the internet just to find out I can't use it. If I could get my hands on some to play with I'd love to try one out. The opposed twin engines are cool, I'm wanting one for a small airplane I want to build, called a "Legal Eagle" it looks kinda like a Piper Cub but smaller.
Nice job, I believe this bike is my fav.
Since you have been doing this much longer than I ,,I can use some help, I only have money for one and I want a stage 2 kit. (No more)what bike do you think is the best , to built on for speed/power?
I’m thinking the mega moto
I’ve had a Coleman there good, I just think the frame could be tightened up a bit.
Any input would be appreciated greatly!!! ❤
Thanks! The Mega Moto 80/105 is my favorite modern bike. I like the way they handle and ride. Especially stretched out a little.
Yes they are on the small side but you can still fit big power in the small frame with a small block engine or even electric.
@@Black66 what electric mini bikes motor + ESC would you say is good? I work with high end esk8 motors a lot.
@@quinnfoster1234 I have only built three e-bikes. A QS90, QS120 and a Kunray 3000w . The three e-bikes are on the e-nike playlist if you haven't seen them already. The QS bikes had EM controllers.
The QS stuff works fantastic for me but I like the new controlles coming out from electro and CO. The TRUMOTO Noisy Cricket.
This is sweet! I’m looking to get a good Minibike, but I’m not super handy, so I want to try to find a good one, do you have any recommendations?
@@Black66 I found some good ones on tractor supply co. Are you able to mod any of them, or only specific ones?
I found both of you guys at the same time lol
Black your the best rock on
Thanks! 👍
This this the video I’ve been waiting for just built a stage 3 212cc slapped it on a stretched mega moto and been playing with the gears haven’t found a good one yet. I way 240lb on a 6” wheel.
Switch it up to 10inch wheels n try like 63-68 sprockets on a 35 set up
Hey,
Do this. Take your cylinder head off and send it to David Vizard.
He will do a show on how it’s best modified. He will port the runners and optimize the chamber for area ruling with flow balls. It will pick up port energy and probably get 85 or better from that. Nice job.
I love your channel but i just dont understand what the different size chain does. I do get the gear ratios and i always cant wait until your next video sir. 👍🇺🇸😎Roger
Oh my word!!
Check out the Mega Moto playlist for more combos with this bike. th-cam.com/video/VbcpA0jdSIw/w-d-xo.html
I got a old rupp and my cousin was saying I could make it straight up chain drive, instead of the torque converter, but it goes pretty fast with just that, might have to check something like this out later
Check out the playlist. I have many torque converter and straight chain videos.
I would do anything to get my hands on one, sheesh wanted one since 18.
Let me know when you get that time machine built I’ve got some unfinished business to take care of 😁👍🏻

Hey all, I just got my 1st coleman B200r. Wanting to engine swap. Was looking at the predator 224, 212 with a stage 1 kit, but recently saw a 301cc and got curious. What say you?
Great Scott
HEY DUDE...did you know you have an ALIEN in your garage....lol.
Question I got for you. I have Baja warrior trying to max it out what parts I need for wheelie and hit 70 to 100 mph Cruise bike
you cant do anywheres even close to both unless you use a belt driven Tav.
even then your stock warrior will go 52 mph.
start there,and work on a engine build for later install.
get used to riding it with the stock engine then swap and really FLY.
Please be safe and wear a Helmet.
Can u make a video about making the 420 predictions fast?
DUDE...! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
a screaming demon !
Royal Jz is a good TH-camr
Does Black66 mod people’s mini bikes on the side? I’m on AZ I’d love his help and expertise
Yeah it's got speed but what's it got for hill climbing power... nothing you'll burn the clutch up on straight chain...but if you add a torque unit and a performance muffler youll have more top speed and more torque for climbing power
Check out the playlist. The channel is about testing parts and the occasional build thrown in from time to time. These bikes keep the same combo long enough to make a video and then the parts get swapped out.
How long does it take to get there? Was that full acceleration?
Check out the Mega Moto playlist. I show 0 to 30 times with full acceleration on quite a few different set ups. th-cam.com/video/xV8i59aGUao/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing. Do you have a video where you are building the engine that is in this bike?
Yes check out the Mega Moto playlist for the entire build th-cam.com/video/wHIKyVU4oxw/w-d-xo.html
@Black66 thank you, I will watch the series. I appreciate your help
So this beats the ebike. Looks like you could use taller handlebars. It appears they almost hit your knee pads. Are the lower handle bars comfortable?
This bike is comfortable to ride. I'm a smaller rider . The bike fits me pretty good,
Yo what do u use to record the top speed while recording?
I use digiHUD on the phone along with the camera GPS and a Dragy performance meter for 0 to 30
Enjoyed the performance upgrade but next upgrade has to be new brakes
Check out thew Mega Moto playlist for the brake install. th-cam.com/video/VbcpA0jdSIw/w-d-xo.html
What app do you use to track you 0-30? Every app I tried sucks!
I use a Dragy performance meter for 0 to 30
Good stuff
I run a 42 tooth 420 sprocket, 8 inch wheels and Michelin 64 mph radials.
225 Tillotson, 28 Flat Mikuni, 3 stage pipe..90mph.

Does the Coleman rb100 have a rear axel spacer, I bought one and it doesn't have one so I'm just wondering.
❤NICE VIDES THANKS FOR SHARING… Where can I get that style hoist? Or did you make it Thanks
Thanks! not sure about the lift I bought it used.
Have you checked out the Ducar 212 engine yet it seems better than the Predator or the 212 tolston
Black 66, did this gearing setup seem really hard on the clutch at take off and lower speeds?
Yes it will, you will see premature clutch wear, with this setup you will want to get going at like 15mph pretty quick if you want it to last
can you shout out what type of brakes you got? i have a mega moto just like this one with a 212 predator but i need to add better/ hydraulic brakes and a front brake disk as well
Check out the Mega Moto performance playlist. It shows the entire build . There is a video in there with the front and rear brake install. The parts used are in the description of the videos. Thanks for watching!
Im getting a 212 and a 30 series torque converter for my ct200uex / Good idea???? any worries???
I have the same frame and a completely stock 212 and my top is 63
How ?
Hey man, where did you get the front shifts for the bike?
I see you are using a Max TQ Clutch for that engine. Is that also cammed with flywheel & rod? Im about to stage 2 mine but are worried that Max TQ clutch wont hold up to the power output. I currently have a Max TQ with Stage 1.
Bro that max tourqe with do just great until like stage 3 or 4. No need to worry about that
Max Torque is a durable clutch . Check out the Mega Moto playlist for the entire engine build on this bike. Thanks for watching!

@@rocknrye9273 na yea don’t worry. It will do just great. They’re some of the best clutches you can get before you get to the race ones. And they’re prices great.
Very Nice!!!
Very informative video PlehBOi! - 🤘🏽🇺🇸🫡
I always like to eyeball that chain from top of rear sprocket to counter shaft sprocket.
imagine a belt driven Tav with that combo you have there..
not sure it would fit in that frame tho.........whats the accel like from a dead stop?

@@Black66 aha !! tyvm !!
04:23 DUDE!...... the Filthy Frank Alien in the background!!!!! lol
This is impressive!!
Just bought my first BT200 and started modding.
Curious if anyone has tried using the rear sprocket as a disc brake calliper?
Sounds nuts but a friend of mine has been doing it on an annual go cart build/race event for a few years now and says he’s never had issues.
Alot of old school bikes ran them like that just don't use an aluminum sproket and it will be just fine
how do you size the caliper correctly?
I go to volts all the time !!
What riser plate is that
Check out the Mega Moto build videos for the riser plate. th-cam.com/video/CyOjHi-WEdA/w-d-xo.html
Just wondering where you got your motor mount spacer. I was think about doing a predator swap on my mega moto 80 and dont really want to cut off the oil drain bolt. Thanks.
Yo, how many miles you get to a rear tire? I lined my tire up straight as I could get it. I burned my tire up in about 150-200 miles only road not doing anything but going 45-65mph and it blew when I was going about 55-60mph I knew it was a chance riding on a balding tire. Dude these cheap sketch as fk tires don't last no matter what. I'm considering buying aircraft tires to save money if they will last. A 6ply tractor slick didn't last either. You got any tips? I under inflated and same shit. My front tire is like new. Idk but need help
Yes, I ride a lot of pavement so on some of mine I use a 6-inch slick. Also, I am looking into other street treaded options but I still have to do a lot more riding to see if the mileage is any better on the new tires.
Get a 310 cam from GPS, really pulls hard on the top end
I have more cam videos coming out on this bike.
I need another opinion. My mini bike hits around 45mph (its a doodle bug with a 212) and it feels like valve float is hitting. How big of a difference will 18 lb valve springs make? I also am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a 50 tooth rear sprocket for a db30
@@TheDrift_Lab I heard the 22lb would grind the cam lobes down more than 18lb.
I do long distance riding, so I don't want to get a new cam for it if I don't have to.
What setup do you have ?
Do you prefer a clutch or torque converter? Rebuilding a MTD Trail Flite with a Ghost 212 and original torque converter broke. Thanks.
I prefer a clutch on the smaller bikes .
@@Black66can u put a xlutch on tillotson
What forks are those? Is there a option with the stock 6 inch wheel and disk brake mount up front?
They are GoPowerSports forks. I don't think there is an option for the stock forks, but it wouldn't be too hard to fabricate a bracket. Check out the Mega Moto playlist for the entire build. th-cam.com/video/VbcpA0jdSIw/w-d-xo.html
hey black66 what was the shipping time on the volts minibike sprocket and clutch? I ordered a clutch and sprocket 3 weeks ago and still haven't got it. I tried calling, emailing, dming them and no response back.
Where you get that chain took to unlink the chain drop it in the description
GoPowerSports or ARC racing has the chain breaker
Would a 12t 65t rear give me bout 45 mph and great torque
Dig that motor and the builds your doing. A lit of info covered
Where do you suggest buying a good solid clutch from that’s gonna last an I’m not talking 300 one lol
