@brentwest9977 no problem! The guy who taught me this has built some solid race bikes. It's not about the looks, it's about simple mechanical function that you can rely on.

@kgol4686 who are you asking? I'm not popular but I am known for being thorough. You really gotta be in it for the right reason, I'm not all about entertainment and asking for subscribers.

@poorboytrucking1 not really. The jackshaft on most Chinese mini bikes are junk. A torque converter will get a smoother take off, better acceleration and a higher top speed. Torque Converters provide all the low end power a mini bike needs.

@NathanCoomer-g4k I dunno. I ran it like that for a while with a pretty well built 196 and didn't have any issues.

@jaredkish992 I haven't used the TB parts carbs or parts. I just bought a new pitbike so I'm sure I will eventually.

I’m k just using the TB manifold and the carb itself is the Mikuni vm20 I’m thinking at starting with needle click one down and trying a 110 and 17.5 pilot and go from there 🙌🏼. Looking forward to seeing your new bike build

@CK-mf6du I noticed on some pulleys too that it is more difficult to set the springs. I can usually get a yellow in the center hole but I've come across a couple that it was so difficult I gave up because there was no way it was gonna end well.

@@fatbuddycat that is exactly right. I call it double winding. I honestly don't believe comet wanted them set like that. I believe number 3, max tension, is the only setting that should be preloaded slightly. First and second are half and 3/4 wind, not quite full preload. Ive seen people "double wind" the green spring on hole #3. It will ultimately start popping the spring out of the hole, because too much tension. You already see the yellow spring is near impossible to install like that. Wouldn't be good if could..

@@fatbuddycat the spring coils too tight when set like that, and will make contact with the bushing. It will destroy the bushing and your clutch if you manage to double wind the yellow spring in hole #3

@@fatbuddycat honestly I don't think many people realize this, but it makes sense if your putting one of these torque converters on a minibike that only goes 15 mph or so with the gearing. If the secondary was fully preloaded, take-off would be pretty gnarly for the little folks. Hence not full preload on 1 or 2 setting. Only 3.

@@CK-mf6du my BT200X rips with a yellow in #2, it's a 7500 rpm 196 that probably maxes 50. I'm running a Torkzilla and 10/54 on the sprockets.

@janvandermark2747 I have some videos of ct70 clone on here too. I ride that little 125 more than my motorcycle. We need to go back to Geos, Toyota and Hondas of 90s. The car manufacturers took it all off the market and worked on screwing us with crap nobody can afford to pay cash for or maintain. They called a lot of cars unsafe that were just fine if they stopped making other vehicles so much bigger. It's all a setup that I don't fall for. I believe in scooters and smaller displacements, it is a far better option than going electric. Problem is, if we collectively own cheap vehicles and don't use as much fuel, then certain pieces of s**t out there don't get as wealthy off of us.....plus we wouldn't have to work and produce as many taxes......same exact thing happened to our housing market.

@@fatbuddycat Agreed, its a wealth grab and the banking system doesn't help. It is like we are competing to take on the most debt to continue on with viscous subscriber lifestyle... The illusion of having, but gaining nothing. Spending what we don't have so we can get through the moment with no plans for a future... any who lol. One day at a time.

@tinajones2380 😆 that's new but awesome!

@dallassalinasboxeo2305 some of them are better to listen to in the background while you're working on a project. Sorry about that, I hope the nap was awesome though!!

@wraithjrsnacky7742 that is exactly why I'm so thorough with my presentations. Glad it helped!

@jamesmower1852 it's all in the wheels and tires. The hub adapters and sprocket are pretty lightweight. I used very light spacers for my axle as well. I did go with a heavier axle. It handled much better then stock, the gx160 with a torque converter handled it no sweat. The rest of the bike is stupid light. Could I have used something different.....sure but screw it. It was a sweat mini bike.

@-_-OB1 factory spec. This thing starts easy and runs like a top. Typically I lash tight at .0015 exhaust and intake. I haven't touched these yet. With the correct steps the governor can be removed without touching the valves.

@@yomanz2fine is the idler wheel on a bearing?

@jacobsebastien3910 the torque converter on the RSV200 lines up about the same place as a regular 30 series with a plate mount. They put the chain on the right to allow the pulley to be more inbound. The only one with a longer shaft is the Trailmaster because they kept the drive chain on the left and had to space out the pulley accordingly. .

Oh ok cool bro" Thanks for the information!" ​@fatbuddycat

​@fatbuddycat was asking because I'm soon gonna buy that bike and a Ducar 224 and the pvl flywheel because the ducar 224 doesn't come with a flywheel at all only the 212 ducar. So I'm gonna purchase the pvl flywheel for the 224 and put it on.

And that ducar 224cc doesn't have a governor on it ​@@fatbuddycat

Heard if you move the rear shocks to the other holes it raises frame up a lil higher Gonna do that to mine when i get it. ​@fatbuddycat

@MantaFB I moved away from these bikes. I had too many injuries from crashing them, the short wheelbase and lack of rake makes them quite dangerous with enough power. The full suspension kit is heavy and low. Even with 10 inch wheels they don't sit right. The issue is the length of the fork and not being able to lift the rear to match it. You can use longer tubes up front but it will still be a stubby approach angle for the front wheel.

@JNC1973 oh, yeah! I'm working a lot of hours and I'm balls to the wall trying to catch up on the weekends, so I haven't been able to concentrate on making videos. We should slow down going into winter.

@@fatbuddycat ok cool 👍🏻if you know any tricks to getting a 70mm flat top piston with rings that wont compress enough even with a ring compressor tool to get into the Predator 212 bore hole please do tell cause im having a hell of a time over here trying to get this piston in. I didnt have this problem when i built my clone engine with a 68mm flat top but the 70mm for Predator is proving rather difficult. Thanks! 🙏🏻

Tall deck approximately .020" taller than the standard 196/212 block.

@riverchaser2090 in stock form the Trailmaster I suppose. I gave the MB200S to a friend and never really got into modifying it too heavily. I have modified a Trailmaster and it's kinda retarded by the time your done putting money into it. I'd buy a used one, don't pay 1k-1.2k right off the bat. I've seen TMs as low as 400 used. You're gonna want about 1k ready to drop into it depending what you are capable of in forms of fabrication. Keep your full investment around 1.5k. As you creep towards 2k you're well into "I should have bought a dang dirtbike" territory.

@@fatbuddycat gotcha. Yeah from videos I’ve seen, the rubber bushings for the engine cradle/is definitely something that would need dealt with. Bracing etc. dont have a welder unfortunately. Ole red beard selling them slugs for the bushing swap but they’re pricey. That’s what has been turning interest toward the 200s, got a wild kitty 240 on the way and she’s gonna need a home haha. Was the swing arms relatively the same length between the two you think? Thanks for the response brother! I’ve learned a lot from watching your vids. Thank you for that

@riverchaser2090 The Trailmaster swingarm is made better but at the cost of poor geometry that leads to chain derailment. The 200s needs to have a torque converter mounted which can take some time and patience but is nice when it's on there.

@@fatbuddycat marketplace find used mb200-2 that I’m scoopin up for 400 tomorrow…. 😎 hopin he doesn’t bluff

@riverchaser2090 400 Is a good base price to build on, I hope you get it too!

@baileyboy081686 I don't ride minis on the street unfortunately. Not much of a top speed chaser.

@albertpeterson7134 I plan to. I'm working a lot of hours and chasing responsibilities on the weekends right now.

@@fatbuddycat It will be nice to see you back

@hellcatdad3883 I'm glad it helped! It gets it stiffened up without being over the top. Trailmaster is a great bike and can last a long time if maintained and ridden respectively for what it is.

@kevrg no problem! Super glad I could help.

@joegenova1198 The correct way is to remove the shaft and get the bearings out....that said, I know how daunting the task truly is. If you can remove just the outside seals, a guy could deuce them out with a little brakleen and get the majority of any of the old contaminated grease. I'd go after the balls with a toothbrush and a little dish soap (😄), light blow with the compressor or a gentle suck with the shop vacuum to dry, you don't want to blow the seal out on the inside since you're trying to leave the bearings in place. Pack then with new #2 grease and reassemble. If the bearings are in fact, worn, you either get the old ones out or you get a whole new unit.

@rodri53882 how is it terrible? The stock brake couldn't keep up with the rotational force of the heavier/larger circumference wheels let alone the engine. I prefer larger disc brake calipers but they take even more modification to install.

@@fatbuddycat absolutely agree! OEM brakes are garbage!

@tonyblewitt6159 I use Tuck and Run linkage from OMBWAREHOUSE.COM. They work with a governor and can be set up to run without one as well.

@franknapolitano9144 I owned a Trailmaster already. I prefer the Coleman. The RSV is tough. There's a dude on Facebook (robby morris) who makes a swingarm relocation kit if you wanted to lift it up higher like a Trailmaster. Stock I had issues with the MB200-2, they look cool till you touch them and realize how cheap the plastics, foot pegs and seat are. If you dump about 2500 into a Trailmaster with some custom upgrades they improve.
