I'd like to see something like that as well. The scrub brake sucks...especially when it's wet outside. Might as well not have any brakes. But you can get a clutch band brake kit from OldMiniBikes warehouse for like $50. That's probably what I will do in the future when i can get mine to stop throwing...

You really should sell them Dr. Shop Teacher, I have the fabrication skills but I just don't feel like doing it right now. I know I will have to very soon though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I wish it were that easy with the chain. the clutch chain and sprocket are brand new. Now I didn't think about torque flex, but I don't think that is the issue. My best guess, and I've been at work all day to ponder this; and either the motor is vibrating backwards and giving the chain too...

I'll upload pics later if I get time, but I finally finished the mini bike yesterday. It's scary fast, but the problem is that it's idling super high and it engages the clutch as soon as I start it up. And it keeps throwing the chain. From what I can see, it looks like it's aligned perfectly...

I thought about that, but then I would have to get an aftermarket exhaust an possibly relocate the tank. So I'll just save the TAV for my next mini build. I really want to get one of those ken bar whirlwind bikes. I missed out on one a little over a month ago. A guy was selling a complete...

Yeah, I scrapped the TAV idea after I kept trying to make it work without ditching the scrub brake. And unless I cut into the backplate, which I won't do because it's already a cheap China made part then it's still not going to work for me. So I just went to my local farm supply store and got...

Thank you for the good info. I had no clue that they had knockoffs of that carb.

I'm so pissed that I can't even think straight. Does anyone have any pics of how you modified the TC to fit the predator. I don't even have the tools I need to modify this piece of shit.

Well I'll probably just run conventional 10w-30 then. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I know the manual for the predator says to use 5w-30 or 10w-30, but is it OK to use synthetic oil? Or should I just run conventional.

Thanks. I think they look way better. And it makes for a better riding position. I'm going to have to extend the foot pegs because the predator is too big for the frame. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It's almost there. Just waiting on my torque converter to get here.

It was sold a few days ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

That's exactly what i'm going to do for my next mini bike build. Good idea.

just before i saw your post i thought the same thing. The bore of the hole is the same. All i need to do is use my old sprocket as the template then drill 'em and be happy. Lol.
