So to anyone doing these mods I just gotta say after doing them all myself. U have to cut a couple brackets off so you’re gonna want to grind those down smooth and paint the bike in those spots so you’re gonna have to take the engine loose to paint that well. Shaving down the key way is simple enough if you have the right tools but why isn’t it shaved from the factory? Once u cut the plate u can’t return it so if the clutch blows apart in less than an hour like mine did then you’re screwed and you’ll have to just buy a new one and return the broken pieces silently. So far I’m not impressed and between ordering that stupid lug nut and all the modifications I was unaware of it’s been a week of working on it when I can and now that the clutch broke it’s gonna be at least another week. It’s not ‘simple’ it’s not ‘easy’ it’s a giant PITA and the parts aren’t made well. The belt broke when the clutch flew apart in less than an hour. Not sure what else to say but good luck to all of you. I’ve been working on cars for years and I’ve never seen a kit that claims to fit be such a horrendous fit and then fails first day? Bad quality control, bad manufacturing, straight up. Sure if this guy has done a few before at least it didn’t frustrate him. I assure you the first one you do will be extremely frustrating, even to a level headed person that does similar things all the time. I’ve built several bikes with different motors, have quite a bit of experience, my father in law is an aircraft mechanic. Both of us looked at this thing as cheap Chinese crap that wasn’t made right in the first place. When the clutch blew apart we both just looked at each other and didn’t even say anything. We knew something wasn’t right with it. Should’ve just bought a new centrifugal clutch!!
Finally, a video that explains how to do this job RIGHT! Did you increase the top speed with this mod? Thanks for taking the time to share. Sub = EARNED!
Can anyone help me out? So I followed RU-vid videos working on my Baja 200 warrior mini bike. I’m not sure why my bike won’t turn on but it sounds like it wants to? I also have a torque converter. I’m building this on my own any ideas I can try?
Nice presentation, thanks! Cutting the backing plate like this removes one of the four mounting tabs for the torque converter cover. Does the plastic cover stay on OK with only three mounting tabs?
Steel bolt should somewhat oxidize in the aluminum a little. I do the blue locktite just because I'm there and figure it really 100% won't hurt it. I'd be more concerned about lopping off all that plate but honestly, I've seen it done numerous times and it seems fine. You try those super 30 series yet? Dang brother! They ought to sell that thing with a small can of it! Stick city if you don't, I used a little red sticky grease (very little) and got a good result too. Nice job.
Good job. You should align the back of the backing plates. Although it looks flat, it has a 2.5 degree taper on the inside. Run a straight edge across both back sides of the backing plates of driven and driver clutch and look for light.
That's basically what this is, I think. My Massimo is a Warrior and the "title" says MB200. The only caveat here is that he's using a Predator engine and the shaft is different on the stock 196. The 196 uses an external thread shaft (male), so the bolt that holds the drive sprocket on can't work. I'm in the process of installing a TC on mine, and have found some people using a long shank lug nut off of go powersports to bolt the sprocket on.
Hey I am trying to do this I stall onto my son's warrior. The drive shaft is different. I am not mechanically inclined..I'm more tarted then smart when it comes to this. Can someone please help. I can't fit the piece on
A skill saw with a regular carbide blade will but any aluminum with no problem and still cut wood like nothing happened. I learned that when i needed to cut some inch plate. A saw will cut it like butter.
Where do you get the rubber mat? Is it specifically for that purpose? I could not find that thicker locking ring on tractor supply. Not sure what it is called, so searching is not finding it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Very helpful demonstration. Thank you for excellent tips. Thumbs up! I like that diamond plate on the front of the frame.
What kind of rubber piece is that and where do you get it? I had a blaster 2 seater kart come with that rubber under the engine and always wanted more of thoes for other bikes an karts
Here I am over a year later finally installing the torque converter. Thanks for the video, I have a problem hope anybody can help. I put a converter on a Baja Warrior. If I do it the way it's done in this video my front sprocket is not in line with my rear sprocket. The chain wears the inside of the front sprocket. So I put a space on to move the front sprocket out. Now the chain works fine, but when I align the two inside belt plates I don't have enough drive shaft left to mount the hub. What am I missing? Thanks
This definitely helped! Today my centrifugal clutch completely fell apart and I lost alot of the parts, this kit coming WITH all the bolts is great cause now I don't have to go look for bolts at the store and such, also, the chain tensioner spring fell apart too, so im glad to see I can also eliminate the need for that
