This is a good video. Helped me decide to get my Vader a month ago. Went bang for buck and learned to work on bike. Carb just not the best on cold days but once warm works great! I am 55 and am enjoying it and the savings over the Grom my son told me not to get but with money saved, can upgrade and customize Vader. Saw my first Vader some chick bought used and in great shape , a couple years ago. An old chick was riding it and I thought it was so cool! Sold my CBR 250r to just chill and slow down now. Thanks
That’s awesome congrats!! Go to my “boom Vader mods” video to make sure it’s as reliable as possible. All in I was $1500 including shipping and it’s been as reliable as a grom which out the door is usually $4500 new
@@BrapGenius I will be watching your mods vid on my lunch time today. I’m from here in southern California and some Groms are going for 5500, and I know they can’t have that low mileage when there are a few years older I know people are swift, switching out the cluster and that’s why they’re asking so much when the bikes really do have more mileage on them that’s kind of shady so my son and I rented a U-Haul van and we went down to the warehouse Los Angeles, in La Puente and picked the Vader’s up. After you told me that they were at red Fox, I looked it up how far away it was and that’s how we went down to get them. Thanks for the info. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t of gotten him picked up. we saved well over $600 For us and shipping.
@@BrapGenius How many miles to the gallon do these things get? I've heard Groms get 114 mpg on a few videos and just curious. I drive a Sym HD200 and was thinking about getting something else to play with.
Just picked one up today from a co worker, paid $700. Only had 54 miles on it. Hard too get into second but could just need too be broken in or a new shifter but a good ride tbh. Better than a Apollo 125
I just ordered mine yesterday. I’ve never even been a passenger on a bike but for some reason I feel like I needed to own this. I’m excited. I appreciate your video. I plan to lean on this bike then go from there.
If the gear box is clunky, i would recommend taking the clutch cover off and find that little screw with the flat head slot, might need some adjusting inwards
Just got my license and I only live 3 miles from work and wanna use something to have fun with and learn about bikes. This is pretty nice and would definitely be a fun project for me.
Trying to get the bike next month so I can work on it and have it when my birthday comes. Every video I see is like “I don’t care who you are, you need this bike” and everyone I talk to who has or loves it. Gonna check out your upgrades playlist for ideas
Great commentary. Thank you! I recent got the BD125-2 cafe old school looking bike and I LOVE IT! She turns heads and gets compliments on almost every ride.
Great vid. I'm considering one for the same reasons you did. Just kicking around on it. Vibration issue: have you checked the wheel balance? With Chinese dirt bikes, the wheels aren't balanced AT ALL from the mfg. Harbor Freight has an effective balancer for only 40 bucks, but you might find a shop to do it for 10 bucks a wheel. It makes a huge difference on a small bike for a wheel to even be a half ounce out of balance. You won't feel it until you start hitting 40mph and above, then it feels like the mirrors are gonna fall off.
Been looking at this bike and the more videos I watch the more I want it. I’ll be a first time rider and I think this will give me good experience long with learning about the bike
It’s a little challenging doing the mods to it for a beginner but that’s the best way to learn imo. Plus it’s such a cheap way to get into bikes and see if you really like them or not
I was so torn between this and the hawk 125, went with the hawk, now you have me wanting one so bad again, learning wheelies on the hawk, but i think the vader/x20 would be even better to wheelie and just as much fun off road
awesome vid. cant fricken wait mine is coming inna few days. I've had about 20 bikes ranging all the way to heavy 1200cc. Already got new carb, chain, sprockets, fuel line. Should be a fun little bike and project !
Hey man thanks for commenting back to a lot of people. It gave me hope you would get back with me. This will be my first bike. My question is - can I bring it to like 5 minute oil change or speede when it needs an oil change? Also, can I bring it to Walmart or like autozone when it needs a new battery? Last question- do I have to have a motorcycle license to ride it?
I’ve never heard of 5 minute oil change so I don’t know.. same for Walmart.. although it is is super easy to do and oil change and replace the battery. I have videos doing both. You do need a license for this bike as well
About to get one of these for a long time I've had to drive a truck to pull my trailer for my construction buisness but now I'm out of that kind of work and do lots of city driving it's killing me to spend 200+ a week on gas to get just from work and back home for a 60 mile round trip with my back being bad a small light nimble bike like this would be perfect and probably save me tons of money on fuel
This bike will work great for city driving.. just make sure you do the mods that I listed in my Boom Vader Mods video and you should be good for a while
So i just bought one. Waiting on delivery (2 weeks). How do i make it faster? I’ve never owned any sort of bikes and have literally no idea but i want to get into and upgrade eventually to a full size. I just want to know how to make it faster so i can upgrade parts before i upgrade bikes. Thanks
With that bike you can add upgrades to make it way better performance and comfort... I am checking around..i was looking at a Grom or z125 until I saw the clone
It comes with mirrors but I took them off cause I thought they were obnoxious. I’m not going fast enough to be passing anybody lmao it’s still running I’ve had it for 3 years
Just got a Honda Navi. I love it but want something to learn how to shift and use the clutch. Honda Navi is just a twist and go! CVT auto transmission.
Ayy bro I just got one from a previous owner I’ve replaced 2 battery’s still not getting any power do you have any pointers it was garage kept for 2 years
this is great! Im thinking about grabbing one with 400 miles and some mods. whats the link to that video where you said you can do a couple things to greatly increase reliability?
Hey bro I bought one but it's backfiring and no top speed it coughs and pops so the rpms won't go up then I shift and it pops and luges it won't go past 38 mph we talking new carb time?
When that happens try pulling over, open the gas cap and start the bike. If it turns on then there is vapor lock occurring from another point on the bike
Loved your video. Have been thinking about getting one of these to learn how to ride but I know nothing about motorcycles hence don’t trust myself to put it together. Also don’t have any biker friends, do you think Amazon has an option for me to request them to put this together for me on delivery?😬
Thank you! And I don’t think they have that option but it isn’t too difficult to put it together. It’s 85% together when they send it you just put on the front wheel and a spring for the suspension I believe. There are videos showing step by step how to put it together
@@BrapGenius I did see a new listing for a clone made by the people that make the hawks. Called RPS Condor 150cc for about $1800. I'm thinking about picking one up.
I just bought one from Venom. Apparently they don't even check if the motorcycle is drivable. Mine came with stuck clutch plates, stalls and lurches forward when clicking into 1st. I can shift into 1st 2nd 3rd without holding the clutch in. They sent me a new one but I will have to crack into the clutch case. I think about the only bike work i've done is changing an air filter on a dirt bike 😂 oh well, i bought this bike to learn on!
Oh damn well before you dive into it did you check the clutch cable? If it isn’t adjusted right it could be way too loose. I had the issue where I couldn’t shift with the clutch in because the clutch cable was too tight so it would stay stuck in gear
hey man, looking for a gas alternative to driving to college each day. Always wanted a motorcycle would you say it’s cheaper to own this than a car gas wise? Can’t find much info regarding it
Change the oil a lot I should last a long time. Johnny McKinney has a good start up video on them it long but a lot of good info to work on 2 hr . Up grade it to a zs 190cc or 212cc for direct swap out should be able to hold at 65mph 800$ best update grom eater. This is a good video to show. That it can last. there also a video by agk racing to build it in to a 141bbk for a little more power out of the stock Vader engine. This bike only sell's for that 1200$ around and after Christmas. The rest of the year it's like $1800 -$ 2000 depending on shipping . Have a great one till the next one 🏍️💯👍👌✌️🥂
@@CoreyGavinSilcox-gj4db I wouldn’t do that on the highway but I take my girlfriend on the back of it for trips on backroads no problem and she’s 150 lbs and I’m 195 lbs
So I saw you do one in the beginning of this video but the most important question is... is it easy to wheelie stock or did you have to mod it first?? lol
@@BrapGenius yeah pretty sure i did already, ordered the carb the 17 tooth and i ordered rearsets for a grom hopping they will fit to fix the pesky shifter and i saw where you where talking about it vapor locking cause of the emissions bs got a new chain and stunt clutch lever
Definitely change the oil before you do anything. It’s got garbage shipping oil in it. Check it over make sure nothing broke from shipping and I’d recommend changing the carb and battery ASAP. Other than that you should be good to go 👍
@@scorchgaming9731 Stock has been fine for me… I’ve put on new exhaust and the stock carb has been fine so far. I have a VM22 waiting to be put on but if my stock carb is up for the challenge, I’m leaving it on for now.
It’s a great way to learn how to work on a bike and because it’s not the smoothest when you transition to something else the next bike will be a breeze

Hell yeah 😁
Just bought mine today what a bike honestly 😍
They’re so much fun tbh
Where did u buy and how much are they now
Great vid. I'm considering one for the same reasons you did. Just kicking around on it.
Vibration issue: have you checked the wheel balance? With Chinese dirt bikes, the wheels aren't balanced AT ALL from the mfg. Harbor Freight has an effective balancer for only 40 bucks, but you might find a shop to do it for 10 bucks a wheel. It makes a huge difference on a small bike for a wheel to even be a half ounce out of balance. You won't feel it until you start hitting 40mph and above, then it feels like the mirrors are gonna fall off.
That’s a great call I haven’t tired it tbh. I’ll give it a shot. Part of the reason there’s so much vibration is because it has a pit bike motor
In the vibration you can replace motor mounts with the groom ones and it helps
Good looks
Been looking at this bike and the more videos I watch the more I want it. I’ll be a first time rider and I think this will give me good experience long with learning about the bike
It’s a little challenging doing the mods to it for a beginner but that’s the best way to learn imo. Plus it’s such a cheap way to get into bikes and see if you really like them or not
I was so torn between this and the hawk 125, went with the hawk, now you have me wanting one so bad again, learning wheelies on the hawk, but i think the vader/x20 would be even better to wheelie and just as much fun off road

What camera and mic are you using ?
GoPro hero 7 and a basic lapel mic
@@BrapGenius oh ok, your voice is pretty clear . Was just wondering
Don't they have this on Amazon ?
Something similar
So I saw you do one in the beginning of this video but the most important question is... is it easy to wheelie stock or did you have to mod it first?? lol
It’s all about being in the right spot in the rpms. You can definitely wheelie it but it takes practice
What’s the difference between Xpro Vader 125cc and Boom Vader 125cc
They’re pretty much the same just different companies
what is the difference between the BD125-10 and the BD125-15?
I have no clue tbh
BD125-15 is basically OG Grom clone. BD125-10 is the Grom SF clone. Maybe they will call the 2022 Grom clone the BD125-05 😂
This might be a dumb question but what’s the top speed does it hit
About 55 mph
Where did you get your bike from
I got mine from Redfox Powersports
Where did you. Get that Vader for 1000.$?
Redfox Powersports. That was before covid and inflation tho so they might be more now
please tell me how old do i need to be to drive this?
16 with a motorcycle permit
so i just bought one but my question is how much time do you spend doing 55-60
A lot honestly I’ve taken this thing on the highway a bunch of times. Do the mods I did and you should be good it’s in the “boom Vader” playlist
@@BrapGenius yeah pretty sure i did already, ordered the carb the 17 tooth and i ordered rearsets for a grom hopping they will fit to fix the pesky shifter and i saw where you where talking about it vapor locking cause of the emissions bs got a new chain and stunt clutch lever
@@BrapGenius i got mine used from a buddy 383 miles so im doin a few extra things cause the chain never got greased i also ride a 2014 cbr500r
@@bizzykidd2608 word then you should be good
@@bizzykidd2608 dope
I just got it mine should be coming in a week any tips?
Definitely change the oil before you do anything. It’s got garbage shipping oil in it. Check it over make sure nothing broke from shipping and I’d recommend changing the carb and battery ASAP. Other than that you should be good to go 👍
@@BrapGenius yea I've already got the battery you recommended but I can't get the carb kit yet is it okay to leave the og on for like 2 weeks
@@scorchgaming9731 Stock has been fine for me… I’ve put on new exhaust and the stock carb has been fine so far. I have a VM22 waiting to be put on but if my stock carb is up for the challenge, I’m leaving it on for now.
@@SVT___SNAK3 alright thanks man
change the wheel bearings! get a nice cheat set of all balls, a 17tooth front sprocjet and a 428 chain
Well you recomned this bike for a beginner??
It’s a great way to learn how to work on a bike and because it’s not the smoothest when you transition to something else the next bike will be a breeze

Could you link me where you got it for 1k

prices are up to $1,100 now. for me it was an extra $270 for shipping in the southeast
