gx200 mini bike

Postby gokartfreak » Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:05 pm

well i just thought i might need some help i have a mini bike that i want to go faster on and i am putting a gx200 clone on it. do i have to upgrade to a bigger main jet on the carb if i get a uni filter and aftermarket exaust? if so what size should i get? help me out RED

oh and here is the type of mini bike http://www.tanklesswaterheaters.info/chopper1.JPG

and i calculated top speeds with the gearing with a tav2 to go 58mph so will i need high speed bearings for the wheels? :salute:

Geez, would a GX200 even fit on that thing? It looks like there isn't enough overhead clearance and the top of the engine would hit the seat support frame rails. What kind of gearing are you doing? New sprockets I suppose. Have fun and don't get hurt. :occasion5:

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention about the bearings. I would keep an eye on them in case they start slinging the grease out or getting rough, then they're telling you to use higher speed bearings. I always try to go with sealed bearings all around where I can. Also if you're going to be going that fast on this thing I would check out the road first and make sure there are no potholes or rough spots. I can see the suspension bottoming out and very bad things happening.

i am getting a new gas tank uni filter and a new exhast will i need a bigger jet on the carb?
the bike will have 15 tooth on the jackshaft and 30 on the wheel on 10 in tall tires. and i am puutting the gx200 where the fake vtwin is on it
and im going to go with aluminum wheel and a new slick on the back so i will probably update it to disk breaks in the rear

Couldn't hurt I suppose. You would probably need it if you got a low restriction air filter.

So looks like you'll be in the low 50s

Disc brakes sound like a pretty good idea. You might want to do that first. :occasion5:

You could if you really want to but then you'll have to run brake lines and bleed everything. Plus I think it would cost more. I think maybe it gives more leverage though and no adjustments needed once all the air bubbles are out..

I have that same motor on one of my crappy bikes, if you make the exhaust the right length it will gain speed a lot faster and have a higher top end

That's not a mini bike, that's one of those motorized scooters that runs on like a chainsaw engine. You might run into problems with the mounting. When you get the engine off, take some pictures of the mounting plate with a ruler sitting on it. You also might have problems with a bigger engine rubbing on the back wheel. Something else to consider is that this thing could become unstable at higher speeds. You are going to have to be very careful with that thing.

carb jets on a modded gx200

Postby PA » Fri May 09, 2008 10:03 pm

Im going with the same set up , on my gx 200 Blue motor, but putting in a torque tube also, I ordered a # 90 jet, but Ill run it with the stock jet, and drill it out untill, the spark plug has a nice chocolate color to it, then the mix should be right, if im not mistaken!

Ahh, okay. I got a bit confused there with the scooter. It looks like a GX200 could probably fit, especially if you removed the GX200's gas tank and used the one that's already on the bike. You're going to need a long chain though. It looks like you already have a disc brake on the front. Or is that something else? I'm not picking on your camera skills or anything but maybe next time could you use a tripod? It's a bit fuzzy. Do you have the handlebars because it looks like they're missing in the picture. This is going to be a sweet ride when you're done with it! :toothy8:

Well figuring on the low end, your bike should get at least 30MPG. Since 1 liter is 0.264172052358148 of a gallon, then 30 x 0.264172052358148 = 7.92516157074445 miles. Now if you're a serious trail rider like me, 8 miles isn't all that far, but it's a plenty for just puttering around the yard or track. Since it's a mini bike though you only have 2 tires instead of 3 or 4, so that means less ground resistance and less weight. So you'll probably get around 50MPG or better. Okay, now it's time for me to take my medicine. blob

nah i am trying to get it to be able to beat some people in my neighborhood they got some 110 fourwheelers and some street bikes with a 125 4stroke on it i just wanted to be able to beat them and put them to shame lol and have it for show and cruzing down the streets, and to the noise made by it its nothing compared to all of the yamaha raptor 700's, yfz450's, and honda trx 400 ex's with yoshimura pipes on them in the neighborhood lol


edit: speed shop what type of motor is that? it looks like a 49cc is it? i know som places to get some nice upgrades for them
