    Since hotrodminibikes.com is down right now, I've been on the search for something on par with their power-up kit for a coleman ct100u, specifically speaking a header pipe that routes under the seat and out the back and an aftermarket K&N style air filter, though all I'm finding is parts for...

    Predator 212 Swap on Baja Dirtbug - engine vibrations

    So I swapped a Predator 212 onto a Baja Dirtbug and it runs great. Used an engine mounting plate and it fits very tight but fits and works. But the engine shakes so bad at 1/4 - 1/2 throttle. It shakes so bad that it throws the chain. Any idea why this could be? I read that it could be because...

    DIY predator 212 clutch cover/clutch guard

    I went out for a nice ride after I finished swapping a Predator 212 onto my mini bike and ended up shredding my shoe on the exposed clutch.. no bueno. I looked a little bit online for a clutch cover but I didn't see anything that I really liked the look or the price of, so I thought what the...

    New member // My build

    New member to the forum, and first time ever joining a forum! I debated joining for a while because I don't actually have an old mini bike *yet* (well I guess mine will be old someday), I just have a predator swapped Monster Moto. But this forum has helped me out in the past so I figured maybe I...

    predator gas cap

    I went to mount my predator 212 engine and the gas cap won't come off because the bar is in the way. OldMiniBikes suggests getting a low profile gas cap, any suggestions out there so my son can finally start riding? Thanks

    Hi All, I'm very new here as I'm not really involved much with mini bikes but I've found this site pretty helpful so far. My kids have a MMB80 that we just swapped out the stock engine for a Predator 212. The basic job went pretty smooth and the bike is up and running but I have a few...

    New to OldMiniBikes, first post, not bikes, but karts

    First post, from Texas. Purchased go kart for Christmas, then replaced engine on the other. Now there's two. Those karts weren't meant for me but they called me anyway. Red one now has predator 212 and topped out at 32.5 mph. Blue one still on warranty, and topped out at about 27 mph.

    Predator 212 non hemi motor flywheel problems

    So I just got the arc 1st and 3rd generation billet flywheel from OldMiniBikes and when I was installing it was rubbing on the crankcase I grinded down the studs behind the flywheel and it still grinds. Then after looking closer I noticed that the center hole where it mounts to the tapered part of the...

    Predator 212 Feels like it has too much compression

    I was just reading a post like this but it was a little different. So I put on my air filter, adapter, breather, new header and 18 lb springs, after tightening the rocker arms, I broke one and bent the rods. So I put the stock springs back in and rockers and rods from another honda clone. But...

    Murray times Two

    Hello everyone, I've had these for a while now and i think its time to upgrade them. To start off I just purchase a HF 212 to put in the first one. I'm thinking of keeping it somewhat stock looking. I'm going to do one at time and try to learn as much as I can. :scooter:
