Comet style drivers always started to stick on me after a while, even cleaning and using dry lube religiously. Switched to a Juggernaut. Much better! I rarely blow them out with compressed air to get the belt dust out. Crazy how much belt sizes vary among brands despite being the same “size”. You can try various brands for a tighter fit or you can slot the holes in the back plate a little to tighten it up. You’ll get more torque out of a tight belt. We built a frame extension that lifted the rear 2 inches and stretched it 6. Really improved the offroad handling. Not many hills it won’t run up!

In first gear it could climb hills that the regular minibikes couldn't touch and then in third gear it could beat them on the flat. Cheers from Canada :-)

Now I'm looking to replace the muffler as it is now way too close to my seat with the new engine. Any suggestions about planning for this? Dont want to order a pipe that doesn't fit.

I actually bought a header pipe a while back that was just a flange sort of like you talked about and it was threaded on the end I believe to attach the muffler to.

I don't think it's going to need bent that much, but that was the plan. It's been several months since I've done any Trail Force One videos. Maybe I will do that one in the near future.

Hi Brody. I don't run mine everyday, but Trail Force One has been treating me pretty well for a few years. It is very easy to work on. The only thing that went bad on it is the Rope mechanism to start it, which was 40 or so dollars. Other than that, they go pretty well. You're not going to break any speed records with it, but it is good to haul stuff around if you're building trails and lots of fun to ride and make little upgrades to. Thanks for watching!

You may have done it off camera but i would dry lube with graphite spray the driver pulley inside where it slides on the hub driver and any other parts that slide , make sure ( and don’t count on any instructions ) the driver pulley and driven pulley alignment are perfect , same for the rear chain sprocket and small front sprocket . Use a flat square bar for your alignment , 1/4 inch works good it fits between frame and rear sprocket while checking front sprocket alignment . Grease up your axles , will make a big difference while riding and in future when you want to take them apart . Video was very well done and enjoyed the ride !

Torque converters seem to give you the ideal ratio at low speed to give lots of torque, and then it evolves to give you better high-end. The normal setup that comes from Factory only gives you a single gear ratio, and they are not quite as durable from what I've Been Told. Adding a torque converter just seems to be what everybody does eventually. I hope this helps.

Hi Riley, thanks for watching. The thing you have to watch for is the output shaft on the motor. The Coleman's mostly come with a 5/8" motor shaft, which I think is pure nonsense. A company could make a ton of money if they made either a TC with a 5/8 bore, or an adapter from 5/8 to 3/4. I know what you're going to say, LOL they do make that. Problem is, most of the three quarter inch torque converters have the key built right into the 3/4 bore, which makes the 5/8 to 3/4 adapter sleeve not work. I had one sent to me from a company, and after it did not work, I machined a prototype for a 3/4 to 1 in adapter. I took pictures and gave them every Dimension that it had to be to make a 1 inch torque converter compatible. For some reason they never entertain the idea. They could make a ton of money selling that adapter for $20, and selling their $89 torque converter kit which includes everything else except the motor spacer blocks. This is how Go Power Sports is able to sell a torque converter kit for around $230 or more dollars. For some reason they are the only company that actually has a torque converter kit that does not require a bunch of hassle or extra Machining to directly Mount to a Coleman mini bike. Sorry for the long winded response. I hope that helps clear things a little bit.

With higher gears, I am not sure if this would give you the same effect or not. I hope that this helps at least some.

Hi Hayden. If I'm not mistaken, I think that that 6 mm bolt is a 6 mm X 1.0 thread. I am not sure how long it is though or if that is the thread pitch. I believe that there is a 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 pitch on a 6mm bolt. I wish I knew more on that for you. As for the washers, they go under the name spring washers, or Belleville washers.

I would say maybe even stacking washers instead of using tubing may work, but I think the tubing helps keep things lined up better. I hope this helps.

Hi Carl. On mine, I didn't see much of an increase in speed, but it wasn't really slower either. It gained a lot of power on the hills which is what I was trying to achieve. If you're looking to go faster, either making the front sprocket larger, or the rear sprocket smaller will do that. There's some Hacks out there with the governor on the motor and the throttle which you may have already seen. I had built mine for more torque on the hills and power from the start more so than making it go fast. I'd get hurt going fast on a ct200u-ex on my bike trails.

Thanks for watching Allgold. Are you having a tough time with the front sprocket and back sprocket being out of parallel with each other? One way is to loosen the four motor mounting bolts and there should be enough play to get them in line with each other. You can get the rear axle to move a little to fix this as well by adjusting the two chain tensioners accordingly. If you use this method, be sure to adjust the brake cable. Depending on how much you change it, the brake cable will tighten to the point of locking the brake, or loosen it to the point that it won't engage. I hope that this helps.

I don't know why Coleman does this but they make a 5/8 output shaft on the motor, and it is machined down from 3/4 in almost as if they do not want people to upgrade. I kind of reverse engineered what Go Power Sports has done and made a prototype adapter that would make one of these economical $79 kits work. The company that sent it hasn't answered any of my emails showing pictures of the part. If I could get a company to make me a bunch of these parts, I would definitely get into the business of selling these. The kit that they sent included just about everything needed, and I could either manufacture or purchase to resell the rest, and probably off for these at half the price that go power sports asks for the complete kit. Most hardware stores should sell that Bolt, or possibly Amazon.

I think that mine was a little bit slower too, but I knew that to begin with. At my weight, the torque converter is heavier duty, and lowers the gearing to a degree. There's a few options to get your speed back and then some. Your front sprocket is probably 10 or 11 tooth. They change out pretty quickly and easily. A smaller rear sprocket will give you more speed as well. The higher that you make the gear ratio though, comes with a sacrifice of less torque. There's some engine mods that might make it a little faster too. I haven't done any upgrades to my engine on Trail Force One yet. I hope that this helps.
