I am doing exactly this with same issues. Thank you for this video I wish I could give this a hundred thumbs up!! Man this 212 cc is so big and wide. Any other hints? I had already bent that bar
Hey bro! I got that same bike and just put that motor on last night lol but, I hated those foot pegs for that exact reason so I put some Coleman foot pegs on it and they never droop! Look into it cuz it’s definitely worth it :)
How does yours turn? I have a DB30 with 212 predator and a torque converter and it feels heavy on turns maybe bc its unblanced but its hard to turn and feels like backend will kick out. Sure its bc the frame is super small and the engine and torque converter isn’t perfectly centered but wanted to know how it was for you if it was anywhere near as bad?
How long have you ran it ungoverned without any other internals? I just did and old style db30 with a completely stock 212. I'm going for Ol'dependable, after my built Gx 160 ($400 race build) ended up having hairline cracks in the block i did not notice until heated it up enough to increase case pressure to the point of seapage! Yuck. Wish I went this route to begin with.
I'm fixing up a db30. I have a 70 tooth sprocket in the rear and a 12 tooth in the front. What length of chain do I need? I'm just getting into mini bikes, So I have no idea.
Just bought me the same bd30... I want the same motor... do I need a new throttle cable. AMD it requires a 5ft chain correct. I've been looking on omb... but dont know if the ca le is required for the swap. Thanks
I cut that bar out cuz I don’t rock a rear fender lol I left the chain cover spot on driver side so I can eventually put chain cover on it lol I gotta pretty nasty scar on my calf from laying it down one day lol
Nice bike! I see the inspiration and sayings from Cars and Cameras!
That's why i did the swap. I didn't know about the predator engines until I started watching there videos.

Does the chain cover from the original fit over it?

Did you have to do any modifications to the frame to fit the 212cc predator engine?
you have to drill new holes for the engine because the stock ones dont work. and bend back the bar that holds the rear fender on.
+Hk Savage ok thx

What size chain is that
Will you get in trouble with police if you get caught riding this thing on sidewalks?
most likely
+Hk Savage cause my friend has one. I have a 35cc bladez gas scooter will I be fine riding that around? I'm 16
+VFProductions you should be fine. but check out your local laws to be sure

A $20-30 clutch off amazon but with those aren't very good unless you use a 6-ish to 1 gear ratio
I can never keep mine clean
