Red beard you nailed it saying "when ppl look into buying one of these, they'll find us". I just purchased one of these and will be a steady watching subscriber! Thanks guys and keep the content coming!
Yeah thease bikes are awesome for putting around I used to have a Honda trail 90 when I was a kid and this feels just like it. It's not fast but it's great for fishing and just enjoying being outside. You can get a ton of different performance parts for it to believe it or not from seats to racks to different shocks to exhaust systems you name it.
3 years in …Best adventures ive ever had.. My recommendation on most important modifications, center pegs & tall handlebars turned this thing into a real off-roading machine..
I Bought The Same Coleman BT200XB,I'm 58 Years old,using Mimi Bike For Home to Post office & Into Town.Short Distances I Don't Need the Extra Power But Thank For TH-cam Vide😊
I zipped tried the inner gov spring and installed the stage 1 kit. Had to use a die grinder to clean up the lip inside the header pipe. Then installed a bigger rear sprocket. Installed Harley foot peg with a little welding and grinding they won’t break like the stock aluminum pegs. I made and installed BMX style pegs for the rear axel it just goes threw them they work great slap some grip tape around the. I work at a Harley shop so I brought it to work and Everyone I work with was riding that little red Colman like a dirty girl. Some of them were afraid to get hurt on it. It’s awesome on logging trails and such. I have more power with the little muffler off and it sounds awesome that way. Well I do work on loud Harley’s so I guess I’m into loud toys.
I picked one up 2 weeks ago, everything is great, strong tube, Chinese parts that actually fit together well. 2 questions I'm wondering if you've ever run across, both with front fork. I notice everyone runs the throttle and brake cable behind the upper part of the fork. These appear to be somewhat kinked and no natural curve. When assembling my handlebars, I pushed them through the rectangle in the upper fork and now the cables are through the fork, not behind it like on most large bikes. See what you think. I'm also wondering if you have ever been tempted to grind off the two tabs in the cast upper fork that limit the turning radius of the fork. Maybe its just me but I think this bike has a very limited radius and this would help a lot. Probably best not to screw with it if young kids are doing the riding.
I just bought one of these and have been doing some speed testing. I got 22mph out of the box no mods, cut the throttle stop screw and got 24mph. Im guessing that they are not making that screw as long on the newer bikes. It is a 2021. Stage 1 stuff already ordered just waiting on delivery.
I remember finding an old mini bike and putting new wheels/tires on it with hand throttle control and a new 5hp Briggs on it got it up to 30mph by passing the governer was a hoot. Had a Murray go cart with 5hp done 27 plus mph. Them was the good ole days long gone sadly.
I’m at work watching your videos.so im getting paid for watching your videos lol.i hate Monday’s rather be in my garage fixing go karts but gotta make that money.keep up the good videos Red.
You guys are so lucky to still have halfway decent weather to ride in. Here in NY it has literally rained 24/7 for the past 3 or 4 months and it's now in the 40s. Just miserable weather for riding. Muddy and cold. I'm very jealous of you guys lol
Are you still planning on doing a full suspension upgrade on the BT200X? I would love to see this! I have one and have been seriously thinking about doing full suspension.
Damn man.. 6'1 and 300 pounds?.. Time to trim down bud.. I'm only 3 inches shorter than you and I'm 200lbs and feel heavy as hell and slow. When I was 160 I felt a hell of a lot better.
I have this exact bike. I get 32 mph top speed. My air cleaner is stock but I bypassed the governor with a zip tie on the spring. Works for now. I did the throttle stop delete too. I also weigh about 220 lbs.
@@jjscott161 look it up on here. TH-cam has videos showing both procedures. My bike was stolen two days ago. they cut a half inch cable then took the bike cable and lock. 800 bucks I'll never see again
Love the video's ,wondering if you could do a video on converting from electronic ignition to a point type ignition in case of an EMP electro magnetic pulse event
It is impossible in this day an age to create any EMP of that size, unless it were to effect a very small area. Regardless, electric point and magneto ignition would experience the same adverse effects if an EMP of that incredible size were to take place, as they both use identical methods to generate the electric spark (magnet). If you are worried of such a thing happening you’d be better looking into a pedal bike.
I used to do go carts for my kids several years ago, but regardless your handy how to info is applicable to numerous types of power equipment. Glad to see you guys growing and growing more, with the Lord riding shotgun.. ain't hurting either. Peace and axle grease.
Yiu may have a video on this already but I’m very interested in a video about how to quiet these mini bikes down using DB killers, fiberglass, aftermarket mufflers, etc.
Maybe turn down the bg music a bit when doing a voiceover Other than that since looking into a mini bike to cover more ground while hunting, I've been hooked on the channel. It's easier to get out to my property than a trailer full of horses. Then keeping camp and them situated for two weeks......
I built a custom mini bike it has a 125cc on it I use it for hunting I haul deer back after words bc I hunt in a cramped area and cant get my truck back there and aint haulin 700 pounds by myself haha
I've been wanting one for hunting and camping. I've been looking and the CT200U-EX. This may be better because frame looks stronger. I wanted to add front and back racks, possibly a single wheel light trialer with a u joint connection (kinda like Rokon trailer),extra lights,and extra fuel tank and middle storage. Edit: if you want let me know if you wanna help build and I'll pay or whatever. I have many ideas. Think bug out bike, but way way cheaper than Rokon Edit...I can't find it for sell anywhere. I'm in South Carolina. :(
I achieved 29mph with just a throttle stop removal and homemade muffler pipe with spark arrest. I love my BT200x. Going to do the torque converter next for some more mph.
You mentioned that in a later video you would explain how to fix the pulsing headlight issue without installing a battery. I can't find that video. Do you remember which one? If not, would you mind explaining? I have an older MB200 and I'd like to stop the annoying pulsation of light. Thank you, new sub.
well because it didn't add any power, it just let the throttle go all the way. so no increase in power and more throttle means longer time to top speed. stage one increased horse power so it got to the new top speed much quicker.
Not sure why they would. Any 200U made after 3rd quarter 2016 has a decent clutch with a caged needle bearing. The clutches prior to that had the problem clutch with a bronze bushing. I would bet that these bikes have the same clutch as the 200U's. It works fine when properly serviced, and properly ridden.
Double check all bolts if you get it assembled! Bought one yesterday, 10 miles from home carb drain bolt fell out, ended up plugging it with a cig butt wrapped in plastic bag but made it home 🤣
so i have nvr seen one in person. but this bike looks bada**. but these small engines they come with to be are weak. i thought is, do u think a predator 13hp would fit on it without modding the frame? b/c tank exhaust and even carb can be moved if need be. let me know when u can. id imagine u got one them 13hp pred around.
Im just here trying to figure out the release daye of the bt200x i found one for sale and the guy says its a 2016 pretty sure they only strted making these in the latter 2017 to early 2018
Awesome video! Quick question I just ordered my first Coleman CT200U and i have no idea when it will need its first oil change.? Can you tell me how often I should change or what signs should I look for That will let me know it’s time to change it. Can someone helps please and thanks!
I just got an axis mini bike because it has shocks already under the seat no mod required for that. What is the 1st mod that you recommend. I weight around 225lbs. I am not looking to get it too fast since I don't need my daughter killing her self on it. I would like it to climb better.
@@burnettjerry you may be onto something... especially when using thicker racing oils... I just rig my governor spring with zip ties and leave the insides alone
@@gregsteele9002 yeah it's a lot of work, unless you have billet piston rods with the longer oil scooper, really don't see why not just leave it in. less chance of leaking oil. imo
@@RedBeardsGarage Thanks for the quick reply! Just by eyeballing it online it seems that the support arms that mount on the axle shouldn't be an issue...I'm curious how it may mount below the seat/above the fender? Do you think it may involve grinding or welding a new bracket? I just have basic tools.. Also, is removing the rear axle a major pain in the butt to replace? I don't want to take it off and regret ever going down that path.. Thanks again for the great videos!
We the North (Canada) love what you are doing. I just received my BT200X can you let me know how to stop the head light from pulsing. I bought this bike because of your channel and what you showed on how to mod the bike.
Is there an alternative bike with similar specs and frame etc? I've been looking for one for several months. I can't buy this in Europe/Germany over the normal sites because they don't offer international shipping and I can't find it on Ebay or Amazon etc...
Glad to see a video on this bike. This one is particularly valuable as there are little no videos on modifying the the new Colemans with the welded screw and the one way jet. Can you post a part number of the carb you used?

Thanks for these, you are one of the only people who has any videos of this model and how to do upgrades, absolutely priceless
Love these real world test videos. Significant performance increase from the stage one kit.
You can use a large capacitor on your headlight wiring to keep it from flickering.

Nice 👍 I checked your Channel out cool stuff , where do you find all those nice places to ride
Awesome video of the BT200. Was really hoping you guys would do some vids of this bike. Thanks! Gonna go buy two for my son and Me!
I just purchased the BT200X, and I have several mod kits and after market parts in the mail. I look forward to comparing my results with y’alls.

Love the drone! Keep up the good work guys!
I luv my Colman Big Tube Frame 200x. The frame is Very Strong 💪 the Best off-road mini bike frame in my opinion"
Are you still planning on doing a full suspension upgrade on the BT200X? I would love to see this! I have one and have been seriously thinking about doing full suspension.
If i remove the throttle stop screw is there a higher risk that i will blow the motor?
I weigh 235lbs. I know it says the weight limit is 220lb on this bike. Would I still be okay? Really want to get one of these.
Beefy frame! I'd like to see speed tests with RBG driving so I can gauge performance as I'm 6'1" tall 300 pounds, nothing against Lonnie.
those poor tyres
Damn man.. 6'1 and 300 pounds?..
Time to trim down bud.. I'm only 3 inches shorter than you and I'm 200lbs and feel heavy as hell and slow. When I was 160 I felt a hell of a lot better.

@@nitschke30 it is my understanding that an EMP would damage solid state (silicon) devices but only temporarily disrupt points ignition

Can i ask some noob questions? Do I need stage 1 before stage 2? And do i need a torque converter before even putting on those?
I used to do go carts for my kids several years ago, but regardless your handy how to info is applicable to numerous types of power equipment. Glad to see you guys growing and growing more, with the Lord riding shotgun.. ain't hurting either. Peace and axle grease.
I did stage 1 and a torque converter on my bt200x and have gotten it up to 46mph so far. Still has gov though.
Post pics of bt200x with mods
Do these take the same torque converter as the CT models? What model of converter is the best for the money? Seems to be a wide range of prices!
I highly doubt that.
I haven't found any torque converters specifically for the BT. What did you use?
196cc on BT200X... prolly 50 MPH without governor...
Yiu may have a video on this already but I’m very interested in a video about how to quiet these mini bikes down using DB killers, fiberglass, aftermarket mufflers, etc.
I haven't did a video on the mufflers.
Never get tired of watching an engine get more Bald Eagles. Merika.
