This guide details the zip tie method for bypassing the governor on Coleman BT200X and CT200U minibikes, as demonstrated by Buckeye Ballistics. The process involves removing the gas tank and exhaust to access the governor spring, then cinching a zip tie around it to restrict its expansion. This modification allows the engine to reach higher RPMs, increasing top speed from approximately 24 mph to 30 mph. The instructor emphasizes that while this method is effective, it significantly increases the risk of engine damage (crank, rod, flywheel) and recommends internal upgrades for long-term reliability.

Quick Summary

The zip tie method for governor deletion on Coleman minibikes involves removing the gas tank and exhaust to access the governor spring. Cinching a zip tie around this spring prevents its expansion, disabling the governor and allowing higher RPMs. This modification can increase top speed from around 24 mph to 30 mph, but carries a significant risk of engine damage without internal upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you delete the governor on a Coleman minibike using the zip tie method?

To delete the governor on a Coleman minibike with the zip tie method, remove the gas tank and exhaust to access the governor spring. Then, cinch a zip tie tightly around the spring to prevent it from expanding, effectively disabling the governor and allowing higher RPMs.

What is the top speed increase after performing the zip tie governor delete on a Coleman minibike?

After performing the zip tie governor delete modification on a Coleman minibike, the top speed can increase significantly. A baseline of approximately 24 mph was observed, which increased to about 30 mph after the modification.

What are the risks associated with deleting the governor on a Coleman minibike?

Deleting the governor bypasses the engine's safety limits, increasing the risk of catastrophic engine failure. Components like the crank, connecting rod, and flywheel can be damaged due to over-revving if the engine is not internally upgraded.

What tools are needed for the Coleman minibike governor delete zip tie method?

The primary tools required for the zip tie governor delete method on Coleman minibikes include a 10mm socket/wrench, an 8mm socket/wrench, a 1/2 inch socket/wrench, and a zip tie. Removing the spark plug can also aid in tool access.
