Link to orange bike in description 👍

Says 15w40 in the specifications section of the manual but then in the other sections it says 10w30 so thats nice

Bro, very detailed and informative is absolutely the way to go so don't worry about the time of video. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, I just subbed.

Very informative, got a BT200x coming next week. Thanks!

Thanks for the information 👍

Ours has less than 10 hrs but has had 2 oil changes. The first was done by the first owner at less than 6 hours he thinks, so I bought the bike basically new yesterday. The 2nd oil change came right after my wife dumped the bike on her inaugural run. Turning the choke off for her I accidentally goosed the throttle lever down there and the bike jumped forward a little. Wouldn't have mattered but she didn't have her hand on the brake ... and to "hold on" gripped the throttle and yanked hard, launching her down a short hill and rapidly approaching top speed, heading for the side of a horse trailer. It was surreal. I didn't hear her let up and did not see her brake, just full throttle straight for the trailer, in a full panic. At the last second she dumped it less than 5 ft from the trailer. After crawling out from under the bike we had trouble getting it restarted (she was OK, just scuffed up a little.) Once running oil was smoking everywhere because it was coming out of the muffler and burning off the valve cover ... got the bike back to the garage, I opened the oil fill and gas/oil came out all over. 2nd oil change. Bike runs great but the throttle response I can't get used to. It acts like it's either at idle or basically ramped up, making it hard to modulate with the twist grip while tooling around the yard.

Yeah I notced the throttles are touchy and a bit difficult to modulate, but I think these things are really just made for you to get on and just go full throttle the whole time as most riders do, especially factory stock as they come, because they only go 19mph without removing the throttle stop and governor. And I did notice some engines have plugs on both sides- I believe this is for the ability to mount the engine in different frames in different orientations while garunteeing the ability to change the oil regardless of placement. Not sure why mine is different, as they were bought brand new so nothing has been changed.

@@BuckeyeBallistics I agree about the likely intention of being able to use these engines in different things. I only mentioned it because you might want to buy a second dipstick so that moisture and dirt can't fall into the open hole on yours? My thought about the throttle response was that it might have nothing to do with the throttle, but instead the clutch engagement. Perhaps a torque converter can be setup to more smoothly transfer power. Mine is an RB200, and noticed it tends to "push" forward under power, making tighter turns a bit more challenging under power. Speaking of RB200 ... my throttle stop screw was not tack welded (!), it just has a spring on its shaft to help it retain position. I backed it out but haven't had a chance to test it yet. First "mod."

OH, I didn't notice there was still a port for the drain plug even though it's not there. But both my bikes are like that (just checked), so I'm assuming there must be some sort of plug in there from the factory. I know the torque converters are indeed smoother, but my clutches aren't "touchy" until after my clutch locks after 10mph or so, so perhaps your clutches are sticking or something (hard to tell without me being able to ride them).

Glad your wife is OK, show her where the kill switch is next to the throttle so she can use it if this happens again.

@@OcotilloTom Yep, I did initially but it was all too much at once for her to process in a panic. A few after she got back on it and did fine. And today I swapped out the original on-off switch for a simple kill switch. You do have to press it for a second so that it doesn't restart from flywheel inertia but now there's less chance of confusion.

My coleman bt200x is very stiff on throttle. I pull the throttle and it wants to move but it can’t

Not in mine

I set my lash at .002" intake and .003" exhaust. It's tiny but I will gladly take the extra valve lift. I don't bother with my 196 utility engines but my mini bike engines get the extra valve lift.

So no ones figured out which major auto parts store carries a feeler gauge as small as this requires? Harbor freight sells them, autozone, oreillys etc.. so we need a tool that goes down to .001?

Noticed yours has the oil drain plug extension. My RB200 does not, so even when tilting it back still spills on the frame. I need to find that extension tube ...

Awesomeness buddy

Very informative info on the valves. Would you say 10 hours is probably 3 full tanks or so?

@BuckeyeBallistics

3 жыл бұрын

Uh, probably close, depends on how hard or how soft you were riding and if the throttle stop and/or governor has been bypassed. I would say if the bike is still factory stock and it wasn't ridden real hard, that 3 tanks could possibly be a little over 10 hours.

what is your method to determine engine run time? do you a actually run a stop watch?thx for the video

@BuckeyeBallistics

2 жыл бұрын

No, just estimated. It doesn't have to be exact. If you go a couple hours under or over it isn't going to hurt anything. Most bikes out there never even get serviced and keep on running... but for optimal performance/efficiency and longevity, definately perform the recommended services.

Well if you looked throught my Mustang playlist, you can see that I did cherry bombs which was super affordable and in my opinion sounds great. The Roush Axleback is really popular, and is louder, and also costs about 3x as much. The system I really wanted to install was the Borla S-Type Catback, but I wasn't about to spend $1000 on an exhaust system on a V6 car. If you want cheap and loud and legal, then just cut off the mufflers and run straight pipes out the back. You can watch my muffler delete video to get an idea of what that would sound like...

Yes but I assume you're asking for the purpose of checking on reliability, in which case I should inform you that I haven't rode it much since I did the mod because my yard has been muddy. Will be pulling them out again soon and making more videos with them and putting more seat time on them. As I mentioned in that video, if you keep it at or under 5000rpm, it should be fine. I'm actually about to finally order a tach for it to monitor my rpm to see how high I actually am at over 30mph, which I suggested doing in that video.
