Mini Bike Clutch Brake Installation 

Father & Son Working Together Is Great For You Son. Had Minibikes Growing Up, Later Dirt Bikes ATVs & Still Riding At 62. Recently Getting Back Into Minibikes Yo Relive My Youth. Building New Taco Minibike, But It Only Has Scumb Brake Like Yours. Look Into Adding Additional Brake System & Saw Your Video. Thanks For Details For Installation & Lead To Old Minibike Warehouse, I have purchased parts from them in the past. Your Son Is Lucky To Have A Dad Like You. Sincerely, Mr. T.

The bright side to the original foot brake it is the most reliable brake that there is. It will never fail. I used a band brake in the 70s on my first minibike and it works great unless the chain comes off or the cable gets pulled through the clamp.

It's next to impossible to find a brake for my mini bike. I NEVER thought or a clutch brake. This is super helpful

That brake style doesn't stop you if chain breaks or falls off !!! I'd keep the scrub brakes also find or make better mount for the spring so it doesn't bounce up & down

That is a nice pretty mini bike your son has right there learly that's pretty cool you guys upgraded the mini bike with the brake bands breaks not just only back but also upgrading the way you'll be able to ride it and feel much comfortable with it and on top your tires are going to last way longer then usual that's pretty cool pretty wicked well I'm glad your son will be enjoying his bike much more clearly I speak for it comfortable cuz i own one of my own ther every nice and great bikes injoy 👌

Nice video, good to see a brake demonstration which answered my questions.

i gotta fully built 212 on my mini and the scrub brake is barely enough to keep it from inching forward when it gets hot def gonna do this

Great video by the way, thank you for your info. Will be doing this to mine soon.

Great video. I watched to install my clutch brake. Very helpful!

i put a clutch band brake on my preditor engine, works great.i recommend a chain guide too so the chain dont come off and disable the clutch brake

great video, very helpful, we got it on our go Kart now and works Great . thanks for the tips!

Thank you SO much for posting this video!!! I'm an old mechanic and have just completed converting a Razor kids kart to gas, Ive been going round and round in my head about what brake system I was going to fabricate, Drum/disc hydraulic/cable Tonight Im thinking can't I just use my hot clutch as a brake drum? (As I'm very limited on space) Then I find this very kit on Amazon for 60 bucks and has deformed parts, So I'm ordering a 4" brake band for 10 bucks and fabricating the brackets, I already have the rest, I will use the leftover 40 bucks on alcohol...

Thank You! This is very helpful!

Nice job. I bought the same kit for my mini bike (1972 Ruttman) I would recommend painting the steel.

Just need to smack tab with hammer. No need to drill it out. Cool foremost frame from jc pennys

Have a 1969 cat 300X with no breaks not sure if they had any I’ve seen old catalogs and only the bigger model had breaks i guess anyways these breaks really helped !

Installed on mine. I love it

Hello. Great video. Do you know what engines this brake kit works on? Universal?

Ay bro jus watch this do you think that kit fits for a 212cc predator engine

Where do i find a rear brake system for the mini bike it has a "rotor" lol already but we need everything else please help lol thanks

I'm curious how long clutch will last with extra heat like that added

Perfect proyect brother ,can You help to me with zize of band ? My clutch is same like You have . Thanks and so sorry for My English I from Honduras

When in doubt ''lock tight"

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one but you do realize that no you do not absolutely under any circumstances want to take the original break off because guess what if the chain breaks at high speed he has no break

Thanks a lot

And that just seems like it would burn the clutch up not to mention it would be really hard on the crank seal and everything literally connected to the clutch. I mean how did it work when you were done? I really like the idea simple clean and effective I will say that that I mean how harsh was it on the motor and the clutch? I mean I guess it couldn't be too bad if they make a kit for it

what is that is that back brake thats is on the back tire called

I love the style of that frame! What kind is it?

I like your handle grips, where did you get them from?

Shorter spring will help the bouncing

Can u link me the clutch i have the Same one but it doesnt work very well

Thanks for posting this. What motor is that?

I just bought a mini bike today, it has this same setup, I tried it out today, when I hit the brake it made the chain jump on the teeth, maybe all I need to do is tighten the chain and it will be fine, I am 210 lbs. also. Maybe it would be fine with a kid , but after seeing it do that made me not really like the idea that much.

Not bad , lots of potential here

My mini bike does about 37 mph, do you think this would be enough to slow/stop the mini bike? I have a 1960 bonanza with the scrub brake currently.

what size engine?

Have you ever though about buying a predator 212

This is great - is that the Predator 212 engine or the 79cc version?

I would have lost it if he hit the mailbox near the end lmao

Does anybody knows if this fit a Honda gc160?

May I suggest a slick tire instead of that clutch guard

How did you make that header?

How did it hold up ? Did last long?

Hey boss you think this would fit my 212cc predator?

Whats this bike called

Do you think these brakes are better than hydrolic

Anybody know the size of the bolts that go into the side cover

Bad idea if chain breaks

3 months later hows it holding up? I'm looking to go this route on my mini bike vs the stock disk brake

yoooi

Can sombody pls tell me were to get scrub breaks from

All good, till chain falls off.

I can tell he’s a newbie no one that works on mini bikes try’s and start it over without pulling it a little
