My husband and I just got into mini bikes and youve helped him so much with getting this done on his bike. Everytime we had a question we kept coming back. We just wanted to thank you!!
You can also adjust the tension of the chain with the rear axle tensioners on the back. Much easier than just moving the whole engine to adjust the chain.
Just did this, already had a governor bypass and performance pipe, it's probably good to scoot that engine all the way up and adjust with the rear adjustment, I ran out of daylight and test drove and lost my chain pretty fast 😂 I was too excited to go and knew I had way too much slack
@@LORDandslayer you can take off your chain cover for the rear sprocket and look down the end of it to the clutch. You want it as trait as possible looking at it just like you would a 2x4 at the hardware. Just move the engine till it’s straight and tighten it up!
@@LeonardE-kq4xw you could add a chain tensioner some how. If your chain is snapping I bet your master link clip is flipped. I haven’t really had too much trouble with that as long as your chain is pretty tight but not too tight😂 I would have maybe a half inch to an inch of play?? It doesn’t really matter because these bikes don’t have rear suspension so we can tighten them a little more.
Hey, Bud. I did the same thing. Have one small issue. Why does the engine rattle so much as you pick up speed? Would anyone know I tighten all 4 bolts real real good, so it's not that.
I don't know off of the top of my head for straight chain but when I buy new chains for my minibikes I usually get 132 links no matter if I have jackshaft, straight chain, or CVT. You will most likely have a few extra chains but I like to be more safe than sorry. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
Just got a bike it has a setup like this any ideas on why,my chain when its running shakes a lot idk if the chain just needs changed or if the motor isnt all the way bolted idk im new to mini bikes.
@@Sergio-o7i make sure it’s tight enough and aligned with the engine and rear sprocket. It needs to be as straight as possible. Other than that, minibikes are going to shake😂 they’re pretty cheap things. If your chain looks bad enough you may want to replace it.
@@karlschwab6437 OK. Let me be more specific. I'm not talking about governor removal or bypass. I'm talking about getting a tach and adjusting max governed to support the 60 tooth sprocket change. Most guys don't know how and jump right to governor removal or bypass. No need to school me on flywheels.
@@Deucealive75that’s an interesting idea. You clearly understand how these engines can’t push to much rpm’s. I’m curious since with the straight chain you should gain some speed off it. But with a larger sprocket you’d even get better acceleration with less rpm’s but a lower top speed. Possibly.. I wonder if it would just even out or what would happen. Might take you up on that.
@@karlschwab6437I have 3 minibikes with bypassed governors. Don't abuse your engine and it wont blow up. I build engines for a living and in telling you... Bypassing the governor / remove the NG the governor will NOT blow up your flywheel / connecting rod. Excessive engine rpms under a low will however do this. Just don't push your engine, don't run high rpms for a long period of time. Or, just get a CVT (torque convertor) most 30 series CVTs will top out at 4000rpm on a stock engine. I weigh 235lbs, stock 212 with bypassed governor and 40T rear sprocket gets me to 75 km/h at 4000rpm. That's fast enough for a minibike and you're not pushing your engine towards redline (5000rpm)
You take off the jackshaft 2: combine the two chains and you will have to use chain break to fit it. 3: flip clutch around. Takes off pretty slow but good for road riding. Top speed for me is 51

You're so welcome! Im glad that you found it helpful. God Bless

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know that

Everyone stfu about this being hard on the clutch , ive been riding with this exact setup for over a year no problems 58 mph
You haven’t done anything else? And you can go 58 mph?
It is hard on the clutch💀
@@johntannerpoulsonprobably put in a little smaller rear sprocket
What about the clutch bro yk how it slides off won’t it slide off when riding
U put a bolt on and a washer so it wont👍🏻@@dominicgomez1444
You can keep the jack shaft on just pull off the rear sprocket. That way you’ll still have the chain tensioner
But you gotta do some cutting
This made no sense
There are tension adjustments on back tire
How many link you use
How do you make sure you keep the engine center. I'm having shaking problems

What is the one chain called that you have right now
Since you had to remove part of the chain anyway, why didn't you just make it shorter?
I'm a little confused because I did make it shorter and break the chain after removing it.
@@GrahamsGarage123 I’m just thinking that if you made it even shorter, you might not have to move the engine so far forward.
@@dethengine I see. Mistake but it is alright.
My chain keeps coming off when I try to go fast any ideas?

@GrahamsGarage123 I don't know if I can get a chain tensioner because I don't have anything to mount too

Might be your wheels but it will vibrate no matter what
It's the clutch chattering and slipping till it gets enough speed
Do you know where you got that chain?
@@Clips1127 I think it’s stock but on some other bikes I just use Amazon. Never had one fail
Yea but won't u burn the motor up with no clutch chain
Only on a big hill especially if rider is heavy, this guy weighs nothin
I must be stupid I’m new to mini bikes, isn’t this the only way to put on a chain or at least the most common way?
@@loezha6794 there is a jack shaft which changes the gear ratio. There is also belt transmissions that are aftermarket
Wait don't u need a chain tensioner like the roller
Optional but would recommend roller
I broke my chain and lost it how many links is that chain?

With a governor tweak this would work better with a 60 tooth sprocket. Not as hard on the clutch.
Govenor tweak could damage flywheel magnet and then coil if RPM is too high. Ask me then what happens?

@@lotus6314 The top speed should be close but would just run higher RPM. A 60 tooth would just be better to straight chain to than the 50 tooth.

What size chain is that??
#420
5’ ????
Can I do this in a Coleman ct200
That should be fine. Might be a little heavy on clutch/chain
What is all done to the bike , and also what top speed did you hit with the straight chain?
You take off the jackshaft 2: combine the two chains and you will have to use chain break to fit it. 3: flip clutch around. Takes off pretty slow but good for road riding. Top speed for me is 51
Great video good info 👍
Does this wear down the motor more with this set up?
It shouldn’t
Bro flip your master link 😅
Is there a way to do this and also have torque?
you would have to get a sprocket with more teeth on the back.
stock clutch knocking as accelerating fs safe with stock clutch 👍👍👍👍
How many links is your chain?
how much feet ??
e lil bro u gotta flip ur master link
Your right. I should have noticed that. Thanks
Ur kinda cute ngl
Now your kinda weird
@@osiel_GoBrAzY22 😂👍
@@osiel_GoBrAzY22 I agree.
bikes too big for straight chain. needs gear reduction or a TAV
Yeah. Im running torque converter now
Nah just a 60 tooth back sprocket
@@GrahamsGarage123how fast with torque converter
@@GrahamsGarage123 No, you need engine mods.
Bro said a whole lotta nothing
