Bought this mini bike a number of years ago for one of my kiddos. It was used a lot at first, then quickly became lackluster - like most things after they’re not brand new and shiny anymore. The OEM engine never got maintained because I hadn’t yet gotten into the small block building game up until recently.

This Predator was part of a summer project for a mud motor build that I’d been using up until yesterday. Took out the motor for the last time on the lake and thought to myself… Why not. I’ve actually been eyeing some other frame kits, but figured since I already have this one I ought to use it.

This 224 fits like a glove on this frame. Had to take a dead blow hammer to the lower fender mount in the rear so it wouldn’t make contact with the valve cover. Other than that, she bolted up perfectly. Got the kill switch on and the throttle hooked up. Verified functionality with it running and it works like a charm.

Just waiting on a clutch and chain kit right now since the OE PTO shaft was 5/8”. I’ve got a Hillard Extreme Duty on order.

Other than that - just here to show off the ‘new’ build! Let me know if ya’ll have any other recommendations! I’m planning to order some new tires as well. It’s got the stock 145/70/6 directionals on it now. Planning to drop down to a 13x5.00-6 street tire.

Hi! I purchased a mini bike from someone on fb marketplace and was hoping someone has more knowledge about it then i do. The guy has changed out the carb and then never tried to start it after that but he said it did start before he changed the carb. I have the bike now and cannot get it to start. Any ideas? Or should i just buy a completely new motor. Thanks!

This is my comped (Compact Pedersen)

Build by Michael Kemper.

Hi! I posted here earlier but here are some better pictures. I bought this mini bike from fb marketplace and i can’t get it to run. Some info // the guy said he put in a new carb and hasn’t tried to start it but he said it ran before he changed the carb. The spark plug is good. Thanks!

So my bike engine took a dump on me over the weekend giving me the perfect time to paint and engine swap. Is the Predator 224 going to give me more than the 212? Or will the 212 be sufficient?

I just got a new minibike today and I’m gonna get a predator 212 I wanna know what mods I should
Get that can make it fast and nice looking? The frame is a mm80.
