New to mini bikes- swapped a 212CC - need some advice

[GYac]

Hey everyone,

Somewhat new to mini bikes. Last year I bought two stock mini-bikes for real cheap. The motovoxMBX10 and a monster moto. Both 80CC.

This week after some waiting I swapped a 212CC predator on one of them. Long story short I’m mechanically inclined enough to do the swap, however I quickly learned that baby transfers torque quickly. I’m Sure I’m not the only one to earn some scratches the hard way hahah.

My question- the bike is FAST- is there anyway to make it more manageable from a stand still? I’ve been reading on TC, adjust the gear ratio, etc. I don’t care so much about top speed as much as I do riding around with flipping me off it haha. My son rides he 80CC and we just want to tool around off/on road around our neighborhood and our property. Right now- this thing is nuts hahah. Any suggestions or if anyone can point me to an article on here that would be awesome. Just want management acceleration without adding a wheelie bar Lol. Thank you!!!!

There are a fair amount on hills around is- the 80CC could carry my fat *** (220) up some hills with some help from my foot. Just want to have some fun and not flip me off the bike. I did learn quickly go easy on the throttle lol.

welcome to the forum!!

Could you tell us a bit more about the bike? Like what the gear ratio is at the moment and what the rear tyre height is? This will give us some idea on how we can help.

To get the torque under control, the easiest and best way would be to regear the bike. It sounds like it is geared real low, and you have some room to gear higher without any problems. This will reduce torque and increase speed. So you won't be flipped of as easily as before

Post some pics of your minibike as well

Sure!!! Wheels are 13”, rear Axle I believe is 72 and front is 12

You could try a 60T on the rear wheel and see how that works for you
