The cheap Chinese motorcycle from Amazon gets upgrades! I installed a new slip-on shorty muffler which makes it look like a serious bike instead of a Chinese POS. At least now the Amazon bike doesn't absolutely suck! I can actually see myself taking it around town as a gas-saver. This is an X-PRO 125cc (link below if you want to check it out). So far I don't hate it, but it's definitely not a fast motorcycle.

The neighbors: "the guy that talks to himself keeps using his new lawn mower "
Hahaha
😂😂😂
People commenting "you can buy a better used bike" missed the whole point of this series.
Agreed
Yes. 👏🏽
Whahahaha gees grow a pair and get a real bike you are killing your own channel with this crap content - 1sub
Idk who said you can buy a 600 for 1600 but there a dumbass. Maybe a clapped one.
Douknowgregg nope even a 1000cc for 1.6k is findable. I bought a 2001gsxr1000 for 990 only needed safety
Honestly to me, a good part of the fun of these cheap Chinese motorcycles is that they're not perfect. It's fun working on them, modding them and they are perfect for someone who wants to learn how to work on engines and make repairs
until a critical part fails at high speed because the factory skimped on their materials and construction...
@@waltonsimons9082 that's why you make sure everything is torqued to spec
@@noncompliant209calihiya what does torqued mean please?
@@georgiana6598 how much bolts and other fasteners are tightened. Like with a torque wrench. Example a bolt tightened to 30 Ft./Lbs
Probably not the best explanation sorry
IAhh flipping heck. Theres me thinking it meant to do with low gravitational pull, as in something to do with going faster with less throttle. Hmm, did you know that a violin string across the top of it's bridge carries 56 pounds of downward pressure across the belly of the violin? I wear specifically when torqueing up a string, incase of eye loss.😢❤Coochum
damn this bike doesn't even need a rev limiter, just wait until the visor start wiggling then shift your bike :D
Hahahaa
Not all bikes have em. Like the Honda Rebel 300s
Or wait till your eye balls start bouncing, which ever comes first.
@@henryjames8654 lmaoooooo, love this comment 😆
Hey man dont worry about what ppl say we see you're having fun and enjoy what you're doing that's all that matters.
Loving every second 💯
🏍💪🏻
I would have been fine with this in high school, on my fast food salary. No danger of speeding on it either.
The Inja How much is the insurance for you? I’ve been thinking of getting one myself
@@carloso.1451 you should probably get a second hand of an actual brand.
The visor's going all boogie woogie whenever he revs the bike.
i wonder if it's something you only see on a video or in a real life as well.
@@1mikhaelone in real life it is shaking way faster than on camera! The camera doesn't show it. Kinda like when you film car wheels on camera they look like they're not spinning!
The Inja my speakers do the same it’s 30 FPS and the visor almost matches the vibration to frame rate. For more example watch my channel
@@BigBad21 no
It’s heat it’s not even moving if I’m wrong. The heat coming from the bike gives it that melted look when the heat rises
The fact that you have the time, and spent it trying to eliminate the rattle on that bike, restores my faith in the American economy.
He does get paid to do this, if you did not know so I’d probably be doing the same
@@Gum_mby But of course, this is well known.
*Has faith in the American economy while watching a guy working on a bike he bought from China*
@@ChristopherJones16 Has enough spare time, to watch the vid, read my comment, and reply back. Love it.
@@ChristopherJones16 but most things in america are from china. too lazy to make your own. bitch about it but still use it anyway because you can't be bothered to make a better one. china knows that. they gain from complains.
Dude, I have NOOO idea why your video came up on my recommended list, have no idea why you even are! But gotta say, I'm grateful you did. Great stuff! And your filming is excellent!
sounds less like a chainsaw and more like a quad lol
Hey I'll take it. 😅
Well it is the exactly the same engine as all the chinese pitbikes and quads.
Or a weed whacker lol
Tell me you don’t know bikes without telling me 😂
I'm glad I found this video, was looking for a bike to start learning on and saw the bikes on amazon, but was a little skeptical about a mail order bike.
9:58 the dog came running expecting to smell fresh cut grass
It’s a single cylinder motorcycle so you never gonna get rid of the rattle, lock tight is going to be your best friend.
Yessir!
Basically those motors were designed as a 50cc or 90cc motor bored and stroked out to 125cc thats why they vibrate.
@@Mikesukes I own one of these motors, and you aren't wrong. The Honda Super Cub from the 60's had the originator of this engine family. Having Valve lash adjustments every 2,500 miles and a 2 valve head are the main drawbacks, but it isn't a bad motor, comparable with the modern Honda Grom of the same CC size power wise. With the Farings on this bike, and maybe a sprocket change, he might hit 65 MPH, which is faster than the Grom.
Be prepared to change cam chain tensioners, often.
@@henryjames8654 I wonder if its compatible with the japanese part. I guess?
You'll still love the electric one though after installing the 8000w hub motor :)
Bro I'm pumped to get the upgrades finally!
The higher octanes to keep the engine cooler.. due to the fact to get any speed with these tiny engines you're holding high RPM's for a long period of time, so reducing knock is a must...
Thank you I was about to comment the same I got some of these 125 engines on a couple of the kids 4 wheelers
Jjst gonna cause predetination
He fine groms take 87... It's not always cost efficient to do 911 especially I'm cali
@@overtimecuztompaint What language are you speaking here? Read what you typed, and let me know if it makes sense!
Regardless of what anyone says I appreciate it man idk jack about bike and am short on funds always wanted a bike so these videos are awesome thanks man!💪🏼
For sure 💯
I can really notice the throttle response from a karb to fuel injected quite interesting. Great videos really enjoy watching them
With someone to help with mechanicals out of the box, and tuning, this seems like a nearly perfect "first bike". Certainly for just tooling around in low speed environs. Very compelling!
So would just buying a 125cc dirtbike... Without all the issues of being a potential break down around every corner.
9:28 ITS A BIKE ALL OF A SUDDEN. First time the eye is like: " Im not bleeding"
Good build all for fun.
Looks like a fun city commuter bike which is why I bought my used Kat 600. Over approx 2 years I have done a lot to it to make it how I want. Love riding around town.
I like what you are doing and there is no bigger thing than one can do than have fun. Keep it going.
If you add the slip on and an aftermarket air filter. It will create a leaner mixture. Adjust the carb to run richer to make up for it. There should be a air\fuel mixture screw somewhere. That is probably a air adjust, which should be on the air filter side. Then there will be an idle screw adjust after it warms up.
I just got the Motorcycle, and I am new to riding. How do I locate the air filter on BD125-11(GT) motorcycle, please?
@@user-qz5zb3kt2i were you able to fix this issue got the same bike and it turns off sometimes, thinking this is the issue
Your dog is looking at you like “turn off that lawnmower”
Lol!
Even the dog was embarrassed.
It's great to see you enjoying fully with that Bike 😎👍
I really think it sounds great for what it is. Nice growly and beefy. Thanks for the awesome content! :)
Nice. I really hope you do a line of vids where you do performance mods on it
More to come for sure. 👌🏽
The reason they advise 90 octane is because you can get 90 with no ethanol added. The ethanol gas tends to leave more residue in smaller engines and makes it where the carb requires cleaning more often.
Yeah. Ethanol gasoline is no good. Besides the engine damage, imagine turning all that food into fuel. Plenty of petroleum is still to be found in the ground. The ethanol agenda is a bad plan from bad "lizard people".
Real talk i love this channel, its only a matter of time till you blow up. 2020 baby🙌🏽🙌🏽
Let's get it!
You got a new subscriber keep up the great work i love that your doing a cheap build is awesome keep up the great work dont listen to people hating on u your doing great
Sounds like an old weed wackier I just to have back in the 80’s, Great video the bike dose look pretty cool.
Just remember if it has pushrods for the valves then its the Honda CG125 clone, engine type 157FMI, if it has a cam chain driving the cam and valves then its the Suzuki GS125 clone, engine type K157FMI.
Neither is the smoothest but check the valve clearances as they are usually poorly gapped at the factory. The OHV engine valve clearance is 0.08 mm for intake and exhaust . For the OHC engine, clearances are 0.08 mm for intake and 0.15mm for exhaust.
Reliable little engines though, I've had mine, Suzuki based, since 2014 as a commuter and its never let me down in rain, snow or floods. The only real issue for them, apart from the 65-70mph top speed, is the chinese tyres and the front brake master cylinder. The inspection windows tends to dissolve after a couple of years when its kept out in all weathers. Best thing to do is change it for a remote cylinder type or if you can afford, the front brake assembly from a Honda CGF125, which is what the styling is loosly based on.
Once the tyres warm up they're not bad but change them for Michelin Pilots as soon as you can if you mean to keep it longterm.
I'm inja binging today I'm just in the mood for some good content and he delivers 👍🏾😎
Digging these videos so far , keep up the good work
You’ll be at 500k subs by the end of this year you do very good reviews great energy I wish ya the best
Appreciate it bro 💯
Your neighbors like "is he out mowing his yard again at night" oh, "thats his motorcycle"
It's interesting
to see and I enjoy your vlogs..Working on a mechanical machine in my opinion is interesting....And the most loving part is when you finish your work,am eager to see the results ...Good job man..Keep doing..This vlog is not for dislikers..It's all for likes,there is no thumps down button for your vlogs .....
Hey man, wanted to say thanks for the video! I’ve wanted to invest and learn how to ride a motorcycle and this would be great starting out! Thank you for all the videos, learning a lot!
I lowkey want this bike as a lil ripper if it came with these upgrades
Excellent looking bike with the new exhaust. Perfect starter bike for the price and cc's. Would of loved that as my first bike.
I love everything about this bike, a brand new bike ready to ride (with minor assembly) and you have a decent bike
I don't get why you still haven't hit 500k subs yet . Quality content ., N mad energy mate . Sending you much love
The engine is itendital to the honda cub and honda wave here in asia they sell bigbore kits here also bigvalve heads and full volume racing cranks bigcarbuerators racing cdi and everything boost that little engine suckers performance
Any suggestions for brands compatible with this model?
@@charlescowan170 search ex5 or honda wave100 56mm block. I think its the same engine. Wanna go for 160cc? Search lifan engine.i think it has the same mounting.
@@abcdefakyou903 would recommend the zongshen ZS190
I believe that's the most popular engine design in the world. Tried and true and can take incredible abuse.
In the old old old days, it was called the honda monkey(or monkey motor). Think the original "Honda Mini Trail", 50, 72, 90 cc's. The only engine I know of that would exceed 10,000 miles with no oil filter, or oil change. (Identical)
The Engine is just a copy of the old tried and true Honda CB125. I used to own one years ago. I bought one when I was sent to my first Duty station, Tyndal AFB. I bought it off a LT for 60 dollars. Top Speed 65mph.
I ride my cbr300r around Bay county every day.lol Tyndal still here
not an honda CB, is more cub type engine
@@ricardocaldera5024 I'm guessing would be the gearing in the transmissions and I believe the CB125 has an overhead cam. I do know the CB125 can do 9.5K redline. I'm sure the CB, CUB and CT engines are similar to each other... The gearing may be different though.
Ngl, combo of words such as: power, speed, cheap, "Amazon-shipped" and "from China" to me are quite scary. But after watching this I was like, wow...okay, not bad. Thanks for making a vid for all of us who would never til we saw someone else do it. I subbed.
Nice Video. Sweet Looking Bike. Good Background Music. I am a Subscriber. Nice Modifications. I am Thinking of Getting One Now in the Near Future.
in my country, which is Indonesia, there is a couple workshop that specializes in adding cylinders to small old design engines like this, maybe you could try to find something similar where you live ? i see a very large gap between the crankcase and the fairing panels, it could probably fit an inline 3 version of it, the sound would improve a lot 😁.
Yeah but he lives in California.. Their emissions control on stuff is absurd, so a modification like that would make it essentially illegal to run.
The goggles have sold it for me, I’m ordering now 😂
LOLLL
Did u get it
Great! job with the bike. I'm learning! Keep up the good! work.
Subbed for the positive vibe you gave me throughout the whole video. :-)
Good luck bro, i hope you gain more subs very soon.
Glad to have you! 💯
I mean, I guess it's a cool looking moped.
Got one too. I’m very pleased with my purchase as well. I’ve tried getting a “good used running bike” for the exact same price and No, here in California where I live it appears you cannot. I’ve bought two broken down used bikes already and have had nothing but trouble getting them running
So I bought a brand new Chinese bike online instead to ride in the mean time
Thanks for the tips
Max MPH?
Where did you ship to?
Good vid. When I got mine the clutch was heavy, after oiling the cable and smoothing out the run it is feather light. Love the dog, he reminds me of my old GSD workshop dog, wife used to complain when he got oily, but he didn`t mind
It definitely sounds better. Cool project dude!
Awesome work sir! Your videos always brighten my day, and your positivity in infectious, please don't listen to the haters, I love all your content and your a super fun person to watch. Your content and quality is on par with and even better than all the youtubers with 3,000,000+ subscribers, great job Mr. Inja. Another thing that I love is that you don't curse so I can watch your videos and enjoy them with my family!
Thanks for the comment! Glad to have you guys!
In South Africa the Zulu word "Inja" means dog. So a Beware Of The Dog sign is Lumkela Inja. Cool videos, thanks man
Keep it up bro , you are doing an amazing work
Man love it keep it up good job
So I would first install a new carburetor + sports air filter and a different CDI unit and possibly also a complete exhaust system from the cylinder onwards, that power may be lost there 😉 the 4 things and the thing goes like clockwork 😁😎
But I can’t get her to stay running just turns on then dies
@@kurrr6202 carb! Or you never charged the battery
This would be a bit hit in Thailand. People here would love it.
I was thinking the same thing. $1600 = B52,000. That will buy a new Honda Wave or Click scooter but I don't think that quite buys some of the cheap 125 cc motorcycles such as Stallion or Legend. I saw cheap Chinese imports in the Philippines and Vietnam but not that I know of in Thailand.
dude I love the music you put in all your videos
Had a few cheep eBay quads from 50 cc to 250 cc kids had fun with them ran them for years ! We’re high maintenance but there were fun to work on
those exhaust mufflers have a baffle u can remove by loosening a little allen bolt near the tip of the muffler, itll make it much louder hehe
I low key want one, so far it seems worth it.
Yeah, get the 250 though.
They not selling on Amazon anymore idk where to find it
Very nicely done video man!
Love the videos Keep up the good work.
Thinking about getting one of those for my wife.
this thing makes a 2018 gsxr250 look like a stealth fighter
more like gsx r150 (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
The bulge in the exhaust pipe is a cat. Cut it out for more air flow.
Yep! Making this bike CA compliant 🙌🏽
This bike is pretty cool keep the cool videos coming
The wheels are so nice. Much better than any 3 spokes to ever exist.. cheers bud..
You should change the sprockets for longer gearing and change the carburetor
I think you can buy a thai racing carburator in the philippines you can get one at your local parts store and that carburator has the same mount of my sym bonus x first gen and the exhaust just do a chicken pipe mod you just gonna do is gutted the muffler and your good
nice video bro i enjoyed it as a bike enthusiast glad your having fun cheers! take care in there of the lockdown alright! :) love from philippines
inja may i askwhat action camera did u use while riding this? :)
@@joncrich GoPro hero 3!
wow great even hero 3 is old the quality and audio is still good as new released action cams :) btw do u have recommendation for a budget action cam that can put external mic for my motovlog :)
@@joncrich by a GoPro on eBay!
You get one sub man, keep on creating contents.
Sounds like a lawn mower
I was already daydreaming about driving this around the neighborhood until I scanned the comments.
Fuck em
the clutch is fine. some bikes like my '2001 Suzuki Katana 600 (paid $1400) are hard to get into neutral when still fairly cold. just let it warm up or ride a few miles and you'll notice it is fine.
COOL VIDEO, really enjoyed it
China made a specialty of building nice looking motorcycles with scooter engines from 50cc to 150cc and some..
yeah
Quite sure they just look nice, they rarely ever produce anything nice specially for export. I'm betting that thing will have so many issues within a few months.
@@SilvaDreams I’d give it nine months before starting to play up ... he should learn to shift on the throttle with no clutch and save his left hand for stopping ...
This is my favorite bike 😄 I've had it three times
Can it do wheelie
What's make and model of your bike?
@@andremixon8273 yea it can but I'm not good at them I only so it sometimes when I least expect it when I start it
@@rsj424 it was a 2017 one sr1 boom 125cc
I enjoyed this venture you have bro. The aftermarket muffler looks nice but I like the looks of the stock muffler better on that China bike. I mean the geometry, but yes the paint was on it was kinda bad. Thanks.
I enjoyed the videos man keep up the good work!
Thanks bro!
I just cant justify buying one of these when i only paid 700$ for my buell blast
But it is cool
I feel you bro!
We all have our own taste believe it or not these things can be pretty reliable if you keep up with the maintenance
You're lucky for that. One thing people forget is all bikes have their purpose. For the same price I could get a gy6 150, or less, but if I wanted a throw_away motorcyle to learn on... this is it.
Inja: I hope I will be able to ride this in a week.

Very positive video man keep doing what u doing.
I’m going to postpone buying my Ryker rally 900 ACE right now due to stumbling upon your videos about this motorcycle which is what I’d rather be riding. It looks really cool and fun to ride, I’m 5”11 so I think it should be pretty easy for me to handle,. Besides I can afford this one right now opposed to waiting til June to purchase my Ryker which I’m still going to purchase but I luv the feel and look of riding a two wheeler bike, and boy I tell ya that little bike looks sweeeeet!!!
I would do the same If i had the money just for the giggles. I love engines.
Would love to see and engine swap on this... Any carbureted 600cc engine ..
Might be cool! But thinking I'll keep it a budget bike 👌🏽 See what I can do to make it a lil faster
@@TheInja you can always try checking local junk yards for engine.. you can luck out and find something really cheap. One of those you can't pass up finds . But best of luck. I really enjoy your channel, keep up with the great videos .
Yep... I think he said its the same frame as the electric bike so it should be ok for something larger. A 600 I think is too much. I was thinking 2 stroke tho!!! Used 250 or Yamaha WR 450F. A small light 2 stroke race bike =lots of fun and original/not seen everyday in the U.S. !!
@@TheInja Mmm...Nitrous kit = fun ............Great video man !
@@itsMeitsMac dont think this guy would have the experience to swap out a motor or anything like that. maybe adding a muffler or carb etc is more his area
Cool video! Shows what you can accomplish with some smarts and a little $....btw the dog keeps running on camera to let you know you're in his house lol
Haha!
I have a 125 cc café racer project that I just bought the engine for from Amazon. It came with a cheap Chinese carburetor and a 14 tooth sprocket. Crazy to say that just with a cheap Amazon performance carburetor ($60) and an 18 tooth sprocket ($12) it’s able to do 65 mph now💪🏻👍🏻
How long did it last you and does it still run?
On a new bike it's normal for the clutch to be hard, it gets better
Hurts my head that so many in these comment's have no idea about bikes.
The windscreen looked like it was vibrating a bit when you initially revved it. So good catch and fix. Like you said, it’s all the cheap plastics. Looks good for a quick run around the neighborhood.
Enrique Quinones that was mostly the rolling shutter in the camera that made it look like it was flexing like mad. Same thing when you take video of a guitar string vibrating.
That sounds great!
I mean in all honesty, $1600 for a brand new bike that doesnt look bad and is probably really reliable
I would totally buy this to go around town. But I live in Germany where these might be not street legal.
@@Fotounternehmer why not street legal?? because its black? :))
26vasy No, because its from china and doesnt meet european safety standards.
@@26vasy we have lot of black bikes here. But as already stated, not meeting European/German standards.
I have such a bike for 3 years now, mine is a 350cc model. From the point of view of engine it is great, never had any real problems beside getting the calipers stuck when you drive on bad roads. The biggest problem is however all the plastic parts, they make a lot of noise and are not reliable, coming from that is the problem with wire isolation, if the bike gets wet there is a chance that some wires might short and that might drain the battery. Long story short if you plan on riding more than a year on such bike, better get a used one, because after about a year problems with plastic and wires start to come up.
Engine looks just like hero glamour 😂
Same japanese engine model
This Chinese company has copied the engine of honda cb125
That instrument cluster reminds me of my Honda CBR600RR. That was a fun bike. I enjoyed it for years.
A little late lol but if you unscrew the cap on the carb where the throttle cable goes in. the cap is under tension from a spring but nothing should fly apart. Theres going to be a spring ontop of a round slide and a needle in the middle. Push the needle up and there should be a c-clip on it and a couple groves on the needle. Moving the clip up or down should adjust the air fuel mixture. But sometimes it doesn't have any adjustment in that case I would just go to go power sports and grab a makuni conversion kit since its basically a gocart/ mini bike motor lol. I hope this helps.
Same exact engine as all of the Chinese grom clones. And yes....you can use premium fuel...I use 93 with a nibbi racing carb with a 115 main jet. 17t front sprocket and a 34T rear. Thing is night and day after those upgrades. Oh and I also use octane boost.
What’s the original rear sprocket specs…. I swapped my front for a 17t but not the rear didn’t want to be to sluggish taking off.
My son's friend bought one of these bikes, let my son try it out, and when he revved to shift up, it vibrated so bad a bolt came loose in the brake, jamming it between the pad and disk on the front wheel and down he went. Chinese probably laughing their asses off at how gullible we are over here.
Tech Stuf holy shit!
Totally cheap POS build quality is going to get you killed in a motorcycle situation. If this was a car it would be different but when motorcycles break people die.
Stop buying Chinese products where bad QC can actually hurt you. QC ain't their thing.
Doesn’t sound accurate I have mine with the rev limiter removed and I slam on the throttle in neutral all the time when people don’t see me nearly colliding.
bro, good video keep it up. btw i got caught with the dog barking in the back ground, took my headphones off, nothing.
Bro love your content
