What carb are you running? Jet sizes? Mine acts like its running outta gas at 60ish had 122 bumped it up to a 130 main 42 idle. Got a fake 28mm nibbi. Testing new setup tomorrow.

I'm trying to grasp the meaning of "crazy" when the highest speed you've gone was 60 on a highway...just saying, the 125CC can reach that. Perhaps it's the the fact that they're inexpensive bikes out of China. I'm reconsidering purchasing a Vader and getting a Kawasaki Z125Pro or a Honda Grom.

the stock piston ring layout on the 190 2v must be setup wrong with the ring gaps in the wrong places. ever since changing to a daytona 4v head and setting them myself i havent had a drop of oil come out the breather.
Man that's good to hear. I'm going to a four valve head at some point this year. It doesn't do it in low speeds but when I'm constantly going 60+ it was leaking out like crazy. My catch can has fixed that recently though. Have you ridden someone's 2v to see if there's much of a difference with the 4v?
@@Medicbobs No unfortunately I don't know anyone else with a 190 but from my own bike it feels like it has a load more power up top. ive had to put a smaller sprocket on the back to keep the revs down and i still think i could go taller. currently 16/33 on 12" wheels
I mean I wouldn't take it on Long rides on the interstate, but 50-60 mph areas yes. The only thing is your RPMs will stay high after about 60 so you will definitely need some sort of catch can. Sometimes it fills up after an hour or two and you'll have to empty it so I would suggest something that is easy to drain.
Haha it's a decent starter muffler. I ended up getting a better one before I sold it that was way better and deeper. Hard to sound cool at 125 or 212 lol

If your mechanically inclined and on a budget I would go with this. If you're not looking for a whole bunch of problems then get a used Grom or new one. Things will break on these bikes so you'll have to know how to fix them or at least research to fix them. In a weird way it's a fun process because you actually learn a lot more, but it just depends on you.

No clutch cover. I had trouble with this too in the beginning. Down by the engine, you push the lever all the way over until you can't push anymore and then tighten it there and then adjust from the top.

It's been pretty good. Couple of learning curves like: - you need to catch can at those high speeds since there's a lot of oil blow by from the breather. You don't want oil getting all of your tire like it did with me. - too speed has been like 75, but cruising at 55-65 is nothing. Hills are easy too now. 5 gear makes a hell of a difference in RPM. - my girl broke her starter chain by revving the engine when she tries to start it 🙄. She learned that lesson but was cheap and easy to replace. Besides that, it's been pretty solid. As with the bike itself, you definitely need to be mechanically inclined to make up for any problems that may incur, but it's so worth it.

@@Medicbobs I really want a legit 300 swap grom I’ve seen a few for sale near me I really like to ride one
1 month since the video, how has it held up? Top speed? Feel comfortable with highway riding?
It's been pretty good. Couple of learning curves like:
- you need to catch can at those high speeds since there's a lot of oil blow by from the breather. You don't want oil getting all of your tire like it did with me.
- too speed has been like 75, but cruising at 55-65 is nothing. Hills are easy too now. 5 gear makes a hell of a difference in RPM.
- my girl broke her starter chain by revving the engine when she tries to start it 🙄. She learned that lesson but was cheap and easy to replace.
Besides that, it's been pretty solid. As with the bike itself, you definitely need to be mechanically inclined to make up for any problems that may incur, but it's so worth it.
How is it a year later?
What rear view mirror is that?
It's just one off of amazon. Supposed to be on the handlebars but I just moved it inward.
Ha!! Nice ST bruv! 😂 I’ve got a Grom and a black ST myself. I kinda wanna get rid of it though and get something I can carry the bikes with.
Haha thanks bro. Just put an electric cutout in it. I got rid of the clones cause we moved but we fit both in the back of a 16 Colorado.
@@Medicbobs hell yeah good stuff haha. I actually stuck mine in the back of a Hyundai palisade when I bought it.. the dealership guys asked if I needed help loading, I said sure thank you, then they proceeded to sit there and scratch their chins as they watched me finagle this micro beast into it.
I had seen people loading them into little hatchbacks (Honda fit!) and figured I’d be able to load up in my ST no problem… 🤦🏼♂️
@@Medicbobs do you plan on replacing them? Like with another mini moto or scooter or anything?
@@WinginitIguess probably eventually. We're just in an apartment now and my girl is going through school so maybe in a few years. Still have the helmets and license so it's bound to happen. I do miss them.
@@Medicbobs it’s hard to walk away from that open road, wind in your hair, 80mpg 😝
Does the exhaust bolt right on?
Nah. You either have to take it to a shop and get it welded which most of them don't like doing it because it's stainless steel or I think on Amazon you can buy one that is shaped properly. I can find the link.
@@Medicbobs thanks bro I would appreciate that.

What is the maximum speed of the 212cc??
I've been 84 after a proper carb tune. Nothing higher than that yet. I don't think I want to go any higher than that on the size bike though LOL. I just like that it goes 55-65 with no problem whether you're on a hill or not.
@@Medicbobs hell yeah! That's impressive and probably a bit sketchy going that fast on that little bike....I want one
what exhaust did you end up with?
Did the oil cooler come with the engine and if it didn't where did you get it
Yeah man everything did. All wiring and everything. Pretty good deal. Got mine from pitsterpro lemme find the code that takes like 170 off
Marcoc is the code on pitsterpro.
Thanks and love the bikes
@@Minimotojay we sold them to move but thanks man! It was hard to sell for sure.
How did you mount the exhaust man? Did you have to drill the peg? I’m having a hard time trying to mount mine...
I'm at work but I drilled a hole in the rear set right where it meets up near the rear peg and ran a bolt through. Best idea I had haha. Holds great.
@@Medicbobsthanks for reply, I’ll drill a hole on the peg then
@@NhanThanh-xc8lt let me know how it goes or I can send you pics on snap or help.
@@Medicbobs thank you bro. One last question, what kind of drill bit should i use for this?
@@NhanThanh-xc8lt just size up the drill bit that fits in the hole of the bracket for the exhaust and use it that way. It shouldn't be that big. Basically if it fits in that hole it should be good. Just find a couple of thick washers as well.
Are you selling this now?
Nah I sold it last year man.
@@Medicbobs man it’s for sale now for 2400 and it’s tempting lmao
@@samuelajulip2117 oh damn really? They must be selling it then. It was in NW Arkansas.
@@Medicbobs yeah that’s where it’s being sold in berryville
Amazing camera quality! I noticed your vlog layout is on 4:3 instead the typical 16:9. Did you prefer it that way?
Accident haha. I'll be changing it in the future for sure.
@@Medicbobs oh gotcha! looking forward to watching your vids man!
@@Veagence100 I got a new exhaust (Zoom Loop) I'm getting putting on tomorrow so after I get that on I'll be making another video.
@@Medicbobs Hell yea man! I need to hear how it sounds, can't wait to see it!
@@Veagence100 I got u!
I'm new to riding 🤣🤣
We can tell.
What kind bike u got
I live in the nwa too
Well if you know anyone looking for a bike for sale I'm selling this one and the white one. 2300 for the blue and 2000 for the white.
@@Medicbobs I wish I woulda saw your channel earlier I found my buddy a grom that was wrecked 2 weeks ago and helped him fix it
@@briceknight4290 that's nice of you! Keep an eye out if you know anyone.
Awesome bike. Where did you purchase it?
Thanks man. I got rid of it now but I got mine from venom motorsports. Just look up Boom Vader 125 and see who has the cheapest prices. Just make sure they ship the bike with the MCO (manufacturer certificate aka title). Don't buy a bike that ships it separately or it's a pain in the ass.
I thought about fabricating a 212 in my z125
Dude you should! I'd never go back from the 212. It's perfect for the bike.
@@Medicbobs I have a thumpstar I built a 212 for. Thinking of swapping it into my z125. I should just to see if I could do it. Swap efi on the 212
@@yellowveedub yeah that would be nuts. It's carbureted so no EFI needed lol
@@Medicbobs modify the intake manifold for injector,. I could even get a simple digital system stand alone ECU unit. I installed one on my car. They can configure for a single cylinder. Lol. Would be silly
@@yellowveedub oh nice! Yeah that would be cool
What faring do u have that block the engine

They are off ebay. They sell them in Thailand so they take a few weeks to get to you but they are so worth it for the look

wait, what? throttle during start causes it to break starter chains?
Lol oh yes. that's how she broke hers. Unless you're being sarcastic 🙄
This is oil cool if you rev on start up you will distroy your motor pretty fast they say to let it worm up for 5 min before you hit the gas so everything lubes. And yes if you keep hit the starter multiple times in a row it can snap back lash.👌✌️👍💯
