301's seem to respond better to upgrades than 212's or 224's. They also make 50% more torque than a 224 out of the box. Wish the 301 got more love, because it is hands down a better engine than the smaller Predators.
Wooo here we go. Still want to see you take a big wheeled 3 wheeler and fab a swing arm to make it a monster mini bike..... could even go crazy and make it a single sided swing arm to be different
Bought one of theses while back it’s been a lot of fun the way it is. Using this for a training bike for my kids and I have to admit first thing to go is the pegs. Just an injury waiting to happen
Hey fellas! Just wanted to say thanks for all of the great tips. I’m going through my first mini bike engine swap. Coleman 200 ex. I’d never do it without your help. Basically just rubbed my old motor out so I’m using it as practice for the governor removal, beefy valve springs, and flywheel. Of and don’t forget the CVT! It’s going to RIP!!! Or I’m gonna die... lol! Hey thanks again guys. Keep them coming. If I don’t crash and burn on this I’m going to swap motors for the monster moto my boy has been riding.
RBG align the pulleys on the lathe and turn down your own stuff. Do you have horizontal boring bars, high speed steel inserts, dial indicators, and quick change tool rest, and tool bars?
Just received the 301cc today!!, but now I need a new gas tank :( too big. Working the stage 1 performance kit on the EX frame without the torque converter... for now :) .
Only saying this cause I love and care about everyone in this video and comments section: slap a guard on that grinder with cutting disks. Had one explode on a coworker and a big piece of it got lodged into the bone in his forearm. He's lucky it wasn't his face. One of my dad's employees had one explode on him too. The guard is there for a reason, boys!
4:48 I like the 60 tooth much better with a TAV. I'm currently using a 9 and 60 tooth. The 50 worked good with an 8 tooth. Never tried it but the 60 and 10 tooth should work well. I don't recall you guys using a 60 tooth with the TAV? Riders choice I guess.
Love the videos, but i have an editing suggestion. Could you please turn down the volume or add in music when using power tools, we all know what they sound like and don't need to experience the full volume of them in videos. I have to have my volume up to be able to hear everyone talk but i don't need my ears to bleed when you use a grinder or impact or welder.
Where can I get a jackshaft tube like that. I don’t have a lathe or I would make it. I put a pillow block on my project and the bearing can move inside the block, putting too much stress on the end of the shaft, causing the shaft to break. That tube would be the answer!
So, not related to this video but have you ever broken an exhaust bolt while riding? I have a racing clone 212cc that just snapped an exhaust manifold bolt while riding near full throttle.
if you flip the driven pulley, wouldn't that ruin the belt because i think they are directional belts on those torque converter? the face angles on the driven won't be true to the driver pulley ?
Open call my comment you're one of the ones that put me on so that bike show me a was worth the money I did a little bit upgrades to it I told you the video link I hope you see it but I was trying to catch your live stream I missed it but are right family
Will u guys ever try to put the built 301cc on the trailmaster mb200 because that's what I am trying to do to mine I want all that power out of my bike ya know
hey redbeard im not sure if youll see this but i bought a 200cc baja bike.. the clutch eventually went out on me and i was wondering is there anyway to know what size i need to order without actually having to take it off?? thanks
Something is off...something didnt feel right in this vid... Cant put my finger on it but... Talk to me Greg...is everything ok down there in Tennessee, the next place closest to home in Kentucky?
Man iv broke frame twice an foot pegs off my ct200u ex ...stage 1 predator 212 with ported head an juggernaut an 52t snapped frame were bar that holds foot pegs is welded
Red Beard's Garage i guess. I dont know why. Yall had good content. Carsandcameras gets lots of views. Maybe look at what they do differently than you. Or maybe God had somthin else for yall. I dont know. God bless have a nice day
@@DavesWhips Not really, not everyone has the same beliefs as you. I was always taught that there are 2 things you never talk about in public, religion and politics, because you never know who you'll alienate. Now, it's important to realize that I don't think this is the case with Red Beard, it's just a possibility.
Hey i dont care what you call each other.....but my 4yo little girl who religiously watches this over and over and over and over again does. Then you have the nerve to tell me its not the channel for me because she was upset. We are currently fuxing up a manco 606 and this little 4yo knows more about go karts and minibikes than most grown men. O well. Rant over.
I wonder if he will work on viewers mini bikes and stuff. Obviously at a price. Living in DFW and I think he’s in Abilene. It’s not exactly a short drive
