Talk about waking up a mini-bike. Wow, this was a fun project and for the results, well they speak for themselves. Let us know your thoughts on other mods we should do it? Lights, horn, better braking, even more speed?

Now that’s an upgrade!! This video reminds me of the summers back when my grandpa was alive! Nothing more fun than doing these type of projects with the old man. Have fun with it

Thanks for watching and sharing. Ahhh, I have those memories as well but more on a riding lawnmower or his old pickup truck. These are definitely some fun ones that you get to let the inner child out a little. 🙂

Boy that looks like fun. Zipping around the place like a little boy with a smile plastered on your face I'm sure. Cool project. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to see what you two do next.

HI Kassel. Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it. That's awesome that you have one as well. We now have a group of us that do annual races around our property. Trophies and all. Such a fun way to act like a kid. Are you doing any other mods to yours?

Can just stack 3/4" washers to shim your clutch where it needs to be too. Cheaper and easier that way. Nice video!

Hi Drew. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. Actually not a bad idea with the washers if you have some of that diameter. I didn't have any and the brass piece I bought was only $5 at the hardware store so I wen with that option. Washers at the store might have been cheaper. I guess I mentally jumped to a solid piece when it wasn't really needed. LOL.

Great job brother That looks like a blast to ride. Please wear a real helmet stay safe on her.

I'm going to move foot peg tube to other side of frame on mine and most likely make a longer mounting plate so i can get motor as far forward as possible. Then make some plates to put behind axle for a couple More inches of wheelbase leaving old axle brackets in place so i can go back to stock location if i want. Mine will be pretty fast so longer is better! Nice clear video!

Thank you for watching and sharing. Sounds like a sick couple of projects there. I can certainly see how extending it will help with the speed. Wish mine had then when I tested it after some spring changes. It went right out from under me because it was so quick. Once the weather improves, we plan on doing an update video on what that change was and doing another speed test to see how much of the throttle we unlocked on it. Come back and let us know how your mods turned out and stay safe buddy!

+10mph is a nice improvement. Good speed for the big kids as we’re like Tim Taylor (More Power!) haha and fitting shirt. For grinding down metal try a flap disc as they can take a lot of material off in a hurry.

Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate that. We agree, 10 more is a nice jump and plenty for this little bike. I feel like Tim at each new mod. 🤣. You're right on the flapper wheel. I have one that I use a lot on the C10 project. I was just lazy on replacing what was on the tool. 🤣🤣. Those flappers are amazing little boogers.

theres a 212cc edition of the MM bike avaliable - ready assembled from the factory....costs double of the 105cc smaller bike...but you get more height to the frame and front shocks and ofc stronger 212cc motor. No need for swapping...i think il go for that one instead, thanks was originally set on smaller 80-105cc one but i think il have to splurge some more cash.../sigh =) Dont think id want to go through engine swapping...

We have to do an update on ours as it's faster then when this video was made after a small spring change.
