Thanks for the reply, Maybe down the road? see you on another mini bike?in future clip. It's cool to see a bunch 50yr olds bombing around minibikes and having a good time @ it. Enjoy watching your channel.
I would heat the area of the pipe at the tightest bend red hot then tweak it into place. Wouldn't even need to be moved that far. Those BT's are the nicest looking of all the Coleman 200s. I should sell one of my 200U's to fund for a new BT.
haha thanks for the EPA jet tip, I used a flat head screwdriver and hammered threads into the jet and screwed it out. I also used the ct-200u style exhaust and tac welded a trumpet header, the thing is crazy loud. video doesn't do it justice. great vid.
I put them in the description now. I replied to a a comment few months ago' just needed to scroll down. I figured most people could navigate gopwersports.com and OMB.com and find them easy enough.
Great video, I just bought this same bike and currently upgrading it. Favorite part of the whole video....."you can just take out the muffle and just go bananas" lol
Breather Filter 12mm right on OMB warehouse site. original tube fits right inside and clamps good. Its more than you need but we had it sitting around.
I ran into the same problem with my bt200x. The header pipe hits the frame on the other side. And the engine has not been rising, it is still stock. And I bought the stage 1 kit from omb, was not very happy. For the time being I put the stock exhaust back on. I may see if I can get one from go power sports if they ship to canada.
In hind sight I might go with the go power sports one too. I really wanted the threaded end though. Luckily My Brother had a couple of Mapp gas torches and we bent it out about an Inch. We put it in a big vise got it red hot and put a steel rod about the diameter of the tube, bent easy. Good luck with your project.
Hey my friend I wanted to ask , when installing a stage one kit and torque converter to our bt200x , do we need to buy a new engine too or will the stock engine that came with the bike be good enough ? Or should I just go ahead and order a new engine already because the torque converter and stage one kit is on the way !
No keep the Hisen, it will be fine for your stage one. If you have the CT200 torque converter coming, it is designed for the 5/8ths shaft of that motor. Plus most other motors you can buy Don't have the magneto flywheel to run the head light.
Rich MSX 125 okay sounds good bro thank you 👍🏽👌🏽 did you remove your governor after all or leave it be considering your bike already started performing very well with just the kit ?
@@princedeepj I have now sold the bike, but I kept the governor totally stock and the thing was a beast. Stage one is good but the power came from torque converter mostly.
So if you add the torque converter WITHOUT removing the governor, you still get speeds of 35-40 correct? I’m skeptical to remove the governor considering the plastic gears and cheap flywheel. Thinking about just cutting the throttle stop screw and adding the torque converter
Yeah I never touched he governor, I got 47 mph with just torque convertor and the throttle stop cut off. Top end actually went down after stage one install a little.
The breather is in the link, I used the stock hose coming from the valve cover and shoved it into the breather hose 12mm and cranked it down. Very easy.
I did use the plastic manifold. It was the original carb setup with the new jet and the pod filter. Governor was re-attached stock. The vent was 12mm PCV filter you can find anywhere.
Hmm.. Need my rb200 to be a low end machine with great torque and hill climbing... Not top speed. I wonder if I could just leave the stock clutch set up.
If grunt and trail riding is what you want to do on the cheap, put a 60 tooth on the rear and a quality clutch. You'll lose top end, but you will climb hills like a beast. Front end will come up easy too. Do that before the stage one, but a stage one will help. Clutches are best for top end as they offer less overall weight and drag. But they seem to be either be engaged or not, unless you let them spin, which is bad for the shoes. Not great for trail riding. You can destroy the stock clutch fast. Low end trail riding and grunt is better with a torque converter. You have more infinite control of the speed and torque. You also have varying gear ratios, which is the best of both worlds. You are stuck at one gear ratio with a clutch, only variance is the rpms of the engine. Have Fun. If you go with the 60 tooth wear a helmet, you'll need it.
I sold it recently, more projects. Never got it to 50 mph, but could of easily with a quick zip tie to the governor spring. Top speed wasn't my target, more grunt and ridablilty.
@@eighthguy6744 I’ll send you video message me it doesn’t even take 1 min literally. It’s a spring under gas tank just zip tie it closed and use dremel cut off the throttle stop screw for full throttle and in front of the stock air box cut a good size hole infront to allow more air flow. Kid you not it will hit 30 like that. I don’t keep revs high but I can cruise 23 easy. Lot more fun and the mods are free.
Stage one can be put on any time. I wouldn't do a lot of engine work (stage 2) if your not gonna get a nice exhaust and intake for it first. I've said it many times, the biggest change in performance will come from a torque converter, unless you really want to dive onto that motor.
@@MrThongVang Wow, I notice mine was getting hot too. I don't have the little monster anymore, but i would consider a wrap. Wrap it and some how put the silicone sleeve back on. Cut it down the middle and use a heat resistant tape to secure it. Good luck.
Home depot 3" long 3/4" NPT treaded steel Nipple. Its a gas fitting. Get male to female. Don't need to but I added a 45 degree piece to angle it back nice.
It is in the description. Second one down. It came with the stage one Carb kit. I believe it is #38 Jet if you can find it separate. Maybe call Go power sports.
Your engine needs to breath. You can just leave the tube hang, but I’ve heard you can belch up some oil or liquid from the vent and dust can get in. Stock it goes back through your intake. EPA thing.
not totally sure on the stock one , I believe it was .032 or .034 the new is .038. Really must have for the added air the stage one will give your engine.
These are the stock Chinese tires and rims that came with it. I can't find them either. 19x7-8 , There ok, good if you don't want to tear up your lawn. These are compromise between ok street and ok trail. If you primarily trail ride get more aggressive tread, not sure what I would do for a primarily street tire. Just search 19x7-8 tires you'll get lots of hits.

Thats the vent for the engine, engines need to maintain the proper internal pressure. Normally it is directed back into the intake to recycle gases on a stock air box. Without the stock air box you typically you just stick a mini filter on there.
No expert on these small engines Some say you can run lean, bad for valves. It seems like the new jet is a must , to take full advantage of the added air from a stage one. If yours runs good I wouldn't worry about it. I really did the stage one for looks.
I had a video ready on how I bent it, but the footage sucked. I used a map gas torch and a lead pipe. I had a piece of round stock I stuck in the other side clamped in a vise. Bent easy. Exhaust ended up working great. I also put a 45 to angle it to the back better.
Ha Ha yeah, the bike was at my brothers garage and his wife didn't even want me coming over during the lock down. She didn't want me giving the vid to my brother, then to her. It took a lot of negotiation, one of them was wearing a mask. I only pulled the mask up when she looked out. They were out due to the pandemic. I worked at Walmart during the worst of it, high risk essential worker. Never missed a day and never got covid. I would have never worn a mask even at the worst of it, but Walmart made us, even our customers. New York's mandates on social distancing ruined ton of businesses, and as a nation our economy is still reeling. Covid Sucked!
Is it the stock carb? Mines fine but they are junk. Their no Mikuni. Sounds like the float needle sticking, limiting fuel. Open the bottom and check the float should go up and down easy. Fuel filters plug easy too if you’ve put gas from an old can in it. Maybe the ignition module there crap too.
It's not the stock carb. It's one that came in the performance kit i bought. I'll mess around with the governor linkage and see if that does it. Thanks for the reply!!!
@@ilovecheesecake516 Did you put the new jet in , with the added air its necessary or do anything to the governor linages. I was careful to hook the linkages as they were. I reinstalled the carb exactly as it was, except new jet.
@@richmsx125 The weird part was I didn’t put the jet in at first and the throttle responsiveness was horrible. After i did put the new jet in it got better but it still isn’t how it used to be stock
@@ilovecheesecake516 Sorry I can't be more helpful, hopefully someone else chimes in. I would take the carb back off and check everything out. Float, gaskets ports. As last resort is to put another jet in, maybe you got a jet that is screwed up. Dam Chinese parts.

Fun times, I have had two other bikes since this project. PW80 mini Yamaha, and fixing up a '13 CRF80 right now. Chain sprocket carb work.
I would heat the area of the pipe at the tightest bend red hot then tweak it into place. Wouldn't even need to be moved that far. Those BT's are the nicest looking of all the Coleman 200s. I should sell one of my 200U's to fund for a new BT.
I Used a torx head to remove the main jet, find the one that fits tight and tap it in and turn it out .done it more the once on the 196 carbs.
Yep I heard the #20 torx driver will get her done.

Nice upgrade!
may I know the model of the smaller filter you put on your vent pipe? I haven't see anyone use a big one like that before.

I just bought a exhausts and a muffler but he won't fit on bt200x Where did you get the part extended muffler so make it longer
Nice can you install a long pipe after some budlights bruh
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?

Have you noticed the exhaust getting the frame hot because of how close it is. It happened to me. After a while the seat will heat up.
I put a silicone sleeve on it after it was done. Didn't notice that heat problem. There cheap pick one up.
