Faith Riding Johnny. I miss your scripture and testimony Sunday's they really inspired me. It's hard trying to find good positive content about Faith that's not watching church. You helped instil Faith while getting entertainment value and I believe we the fans need that avenue. God Bless you Johnny. I pray your safe and prosperous this year. God Bless you again brother with anything that may be pressing your heart. May God move all the mountains in your life.
King Peace, I have realized this and for 2018 this will be making a comeback. 2017 was a pretty off year for me. I didnt get to do much filming, editing was almost impossible and life had me focusing on other things. I am now back in a point in my life where i can make videos and take time to edit them and bring you and others quality content. Thank you for holding me accountable brother in this journey and to not forget the ultimate reason why i started making videos. I will have one for you soon my friend. Thank you again. God bless you!
I think the z125 pro looks and is a little better than the grome. Just my opinion. I would do a big bore kit, efi, and all the other bolt on goodies. Especially the transmission.
great vid! so far to my 2018 Z i installed a Mussari full system exhaust (with baffle removed, installed a chimera cold air intake, then did the power commander v with a two brothers tune. she runs and sounds nasty 🔥 also did plenty of other cosmetic upgrades to make the bike have character 👌
Awesome bike! I plan to do the Yoshi exhaust, Chimera intake and fuel controller and self mapper. I might do the big bore but I'm worried about fuel consumption. What kind of MPG are you getting with the big bore?
Hey Johnny! Just got y 2018 Z125 exactly with the same color scheme as yours. Blue is my favorite color and I'm looking to get the same bars as you. Which Renthal bar did you get? And did you use any rise adapters? Thanks.
top speed will be the same no matter the engine size, the only way to change the top speed is by changing the gearing. We did add a +1 tooth in the front so top speed is now 72 mph
What does the front plastic piece with 4 bolts covering the oil filter housing behind the front wheel do? If I remove it for weight reduction I can improve fuel economy?
when i put intake and exhaust on my z125 i installed the bazzazz with the base map in it from them. is the bazzazz reprogrammable if i wanted to go with the 143cc kit or would I need to buy another fuel controller?
YOU: We added a bunch of parts, click like. ME: You added a bunch of parts, didn’t show an in depth ride before and after and allow us to hear before and after (as is common on videos for intake/exhaust upgrades), you didn’t show Dino info on torque/hp improvements (if any) and mixture changes, you didn’t show the bike topping out before and after (same road same rider), you didn’t show changes such as with ease of wheelies in certain gears, and you don’t show costs for all your upgrades or discuss how many hours it took you or is likely to take a qualified mechanic if audience members want similar upgrades but don’t trust their own skills (and I can see why, you started with $2500 bike, added $1000 worth of parts, but it doesn’t account for another $1500 in labor, so you’ve doubled the cost of the bike and haven’t shown why it is needed)....... And then in the comments you’ve stated that the only change to top speed came with a sprocket change which you didn’t show or discuss in the video, and is a $15 to $200 upgrade easy for anyone to do.... Sorry bro, I’m clicking the dislike... first Z125 upgrade video that left me feeling completely dissatisfied. (EDIT: and the music sucks, especially since it played over the sound of the bike in all but five seconds of the vid time at 3:05 where the bike is running. Nobody comes to bike review/upgrade vids to hear retarded kpop, anime sounding shit tunes.) Thanks for making videos, but consider what you are trying to do, if all this is, is a commercial to sell crap to people, this is probably fine and as good as any commercial selling junk in the USA or elsewhere; but if you are trying to inform, this doesn’t do it.
Hey Rick, thanks for all the feedback. Sorry I'm just now getting to replying. I hate it that I wasn't able to meet your wants and needs in a video and i apologize for that. I would of ended up with a video that would be about half an hour long. That wasn't my intentions to begin with, i wanted something short and sweet that gave you a quick summary of the benefits of these parts and why you may want them on your bike. If I want to do an informational video i would do a parts review over each individual part showing the pros and cons of it and why it may or may not be needed. I would also want to do a video specifically on how to change the top speed of these little bikes and why you are only able to change it by using sprockets. I completely understand where you're coming from and I appreciate the criticism, it will only help me as i continue to make videos in the future!
Faith Riding Johnny Remember, you can put a lot of the info in the description (including an easy to understand rating on which parts are how easy for non mechanics to install) and which parts you saw afterwards were unnecessary or not cost effective... and still just have a short summary and the before after sounds characteristics... I laid in for not having any of it, having half of it, even if most in the description, still would have been the info viewers are looking for, and still could have been just as short of a video.... and would have gotten the thumbs up. Helpful hint, even now you can redo the description and add most of the info, including links for parts, without reuploading the video. Thanks for responding.
There's no other bike in this size that would exceed the performance of the stock z125 by any definitive amount. This bike is smaller than a ninja 400 sooooooo

Love those blue handle bars they really pop another awesome video
Thanks Grom Bomb!! They really do tie it all together =]
thanks for the vid! considering the Z125 for my first mini bike
great vid! so far to my 2018 Z i installed a Mussari full system exhaust (with baffle removed, installed a chimera cold air intake, then did the power commander v with a two brothers tune. she runs and sounds nasty 🔥 also did plenty of other cosmetic upgrades to make the bike have character 👌
Does that pcv support wide band?
Awesome bike watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
Awesome video! What song did you use throughout the video? Description link to wrong one
What were the gains and the costs of all this would have been nice to list all that
Such a BEAUTIFUL Z!! Awesome video aswelll!!
thanks guys, the SE version is awesome!
Awesome bike! I plan to do the Yoshi exhaust, Chimera intake and fuel controller and self mapper. I might do the big bore but I'm worried about fuel consumption. What kind of MPG are you getting with the big bore?
Maybe 10 miles less a gallon honestly
Maybe 10 miles less a gallon honestly
Great video. Happy New Year!!!
Thanks randy!! happy New year buddy!
So clean! I need one for real
Is that why you're selling yours lol
No gold chain?
Looks sick. Can't wait to get one!
Hey Johnny! Just got y 2018 Z125 exactly with the same color scheme as yours. Blue is my favorite color and I'm looking to get the same bars as you. Which Renthal bar did you get? And did you use any rise adapters? Thanks.
Congrats on the purchase and I got the rental fat bar wides with the MNNTHBX upper triple tree so no risers needed
Awesome! Thanks!
Just wondering what's the top speed with the new bore kit?
top speed will be the same no matter the engine size, the only way to change the top speed is by changing the gearing. We did add a +1 tooth in the front so top speed is now 72 mph
I you kept the engine stock, you would still be able to wheelie with the +1 tooth in the front?
Awesome little build!
thanks dude cant wait to ride with ya!
It'll probably be the smokey mountain crawl.
What does the front plastic piece with 4 bolts covering the oil filter housing behind the front wheel do? If I remove it for weight reduction I can improve fuel economy?
Hey, can you send me links to where you bought all the mods. I'm interested to see how much everything costed
COSTED?
@@John-yt5zr lmao jeeeeeeze
when i put intake and exhaust on my z125 i installed the bazzazz with the base map in it from them. is the bazzazz reprogrammable if i wanted to go with the 143cc kit or would I need to buy another fuel controller?
It is, you'll have to get an auto tuner or take it to a dyno to have it mapped to the 143
Good job 💯💪🏾🤟🏾
How much $$ do you figure it was to do all these mods?
More than the original cost of the bike. Major cost Ohlins suspension, but they are the very best.
$2 grand
It's very cute sport bike
Are you selling it? Cool lil bike. 😎
the grom in the background we are =]
The bright yellow bike? Any special mods on it?
Cool bike! Great build! Who was that stud doing the wheelies?!
Niles Wilson some old guy I think... 😁
Sick one

Why oh why buy a bike just to rebuild it. Just buy the best in the first place.
What is the best? Even the best motorcycles get modded.
There's no other bike in this size that would exceed the performance of the stock z125 by any definitive amount. This bike is smaller than a ninja 400 sooooooo
