Daily Parts Questions

It was in 1971 that Coleman got into manufacturing minibikes and today it ranks among the top builders of these lean machines. Currently, it has about eight models in the range of $500 to $1000 retail. Once you get one of these little bikes, you will throw your time, garage space, and money into tinkering with it and going for upgrades. Trust us, it is very addictive.

Coleman, at present, has a distinct advantage over other mini bike manufacturers simply because they have been in this game much longer than others, more than five decades to be precise. Hence, they have fine-tuned their bikes for maximum performance and have uploaded a whole lot of knowledge on the Internet.

We will get into the specifics of the Coleman BT200X soon in this post. However, for now, know that you can buy one of these lean machines and make it faster with Coleman BT200X upgrades, and some bolt-on parts.

A BT200X is a finely balanced machine and you should exercise a lot of caution, either when buying performance parts or any other spares. We at OMB Warehouse stock a whole lot of Coleman BT200X upgrades and spares, all OEM quality sourced from leading manufacturers from around the world. When ordering from us, double-check the specifications. If you have any doubts, call our executives for precise information about what best fits your Coleman BT200X.

Specifications of the Coleman BT200X

Out of the box, the BT200X has a one-gallon gas tank and is 138 pounds dry weight. These minibikes are recommended for those 13 years old or older and are rated up to 220 pounds. Depending on your weight and terrain, a tank of gas goes between 20 to 70 miles. Currently, the bike is available in red, green, and white.

Like most minibikes, the BT200X too has a pull start and once it roars into life, just twist the throttle and have a blast.

The alphabets “BT” in Coleman BT200X stand for “Big Tubes” and one look at the bike in comparison to other minibikes will make you understand why. The tube chassis of the BT200X is about half an inch thicker in diameter. This gives the bike a bigger look and does not make you look odd when you, as an adult, zoom around on it.

Not only is the chassis bigger, but the wheels and tires follow the same pattern too. The front shock absorbers are heavier and sturdier than the standard minibikes and there is a real metal headlight on the BT200Xs, a testimony to the Coleman tradition of not cutting corners and loading the bike with plastics.

Basically, these minibikes are designed to hit a top speed of 20mph but if you put in Coleman BT200X upgrades and engine modifications, 34mph is quite a possibility.

Coleman BT200X Upgrades

If you are looking for upgrades to your BT200X, always ensure that you get the parts from a reputed dealer who in turn source their products from OEM manufacturers. You can bank on us at OMB Warehouse to deliver the perfect fit of upgrades to your BT200X. Call our service representatives to know which performance parts will give your minibike the zing that you so desire.

Given below are some of the upgrades that will increase the performance and top speed of your Coleman BT200X minibike.

Torque Converter: The most effective way to increase the top speed of your BT200X is to replace the centrifugal clutch with a Torque Converter. This is regardless of whether it is in the USA or a Coleman BT200X in Canada. However, the torque converter does not increase the power of the engine but changes the gearing ratio of the BT200X from the original 10:1 to 6:1.This aspect alone increases the top speed from 20mph to 34-34mph.

Stage 1 Coleman BT200X Upgrades: The Stage 1 kit includes an upgraded spark plug, exhaust, air filter, and a larger main jet. There will not be a very noticeable increase in speed but rather in power and torque, thereby improving acceleration. What the Stage 1 kit essentially does is helps the engine breathe more air in, combine it with more fuel, burn it optimally, and then remove the burnt gas more effectively through a better exhaust.

The two main components of a Stage 1 Coleman BT200Xkit are:

• Billet Rod & Flywheel: To take your engine past the 5500rpm mark, stock billet rod and flywheel have to be changed since they will not hold up at those speeds. These are expensive but must be replaced if you do not want to compromise your safety at high speeds.
• Valve Springs: OEM valve springs typically restrict the rpm of the engine to 5500 and you need a stiffer valve spring to go past that. To install these valve springs, the valve lashes and other parts must be adjusted.
• Coleman BT200X Carburetor Performance Part: The Coleman carburetor has a water trap feature that prevents water condensation from getting into it and freezing overnight. The trap is the small reservoir directly under the fuel cut-off switch, and it allows the carb to be periodically cleaned of water, ice, and other carb-clogging particles. The package includes 1 Carburetor, 1 Fuel Filter, 1 Fuel Line, 3 Gaskets, 3 Main Jets, 2 Tube Clips, and 1 Spark Plug.

Two things should always be kept in mind when you are going for Coleman BT200X upgrades. One is to get the parts from reputed dealers in the market like OMB Warehouse and the other is to have the upgrades installed by experts in this field.

Buying An Assembled Coleman BT200X

If you are buying an assembled Coleman BT200X, focus on the assembly and pre-delivery inspection process carried out by the supplier. When you buy from a firm that has been in this field for years and always sources their parts and spares from OEM-level manufacturers like OMB Warehouse, you are assured of an optimized assembly and inspection system. If anything goes wrong, you can always take the machine back to them.

For those who are mechanically inclined and can put together a bike from a manual, assembling a BT200X from scratchwill not be an issue. But for those who feel changing a spark plug or engine oil to be a chore, they will be better off visiting a dealership.

The Decision to Buy A Coleman BT200X

You will never regret the decision to buy a BT200X. They hover around the best in the $500 range with a well-performing motor, real forks, conventional analog tech, a real headlight, and other standard features that are not included in regular minibikes. These bikes hold up well in all kinds of terrain, from the neighborhood roads, farms, ranches, or out at the tracks.

Summing Up

The Coleman BT200X is the perfect bike for you if you need a base model in this category. For this price, not only is it very well-equipped but also has plenty of utility and power. You can go for a spin in the sand, mud, and over rocks, and is fun to ride the bike. Most importantly, it has good load-bearing capacity. Coleman is a winner in this niche and is currently one of the best “value for money” minibikes in the market today.
