my chinese grom was a pretty much a mechanical nightmare. not good with bike work and bike shops won't work on a chinese motorcycle. i sold it to a mexican for $500
yeah that thing is sick, most likely gonna be my next purchase lol, in my PFP you can see my bike.....i like scooters, and i will have scooters till i die but i need somthing bigger, is there any version of this bike that is street legal with signals and poo?
Thumpstar was established in Australia in 2004 and has sold 40.000 off road motorcycles worldwide. In the 20 years of operation Thumpstar has gained important knowledge contributing to the success and expansion of the brand, currently trading in many western countries.
That’s hectic bro thumpstars were everywhere in Australia as I was growing up and every Aussie has said ‘wanna go for a lap on the thumpies’ at least once in there life 😂 Do you know if they sell or if there is any other companies that sell Chinese bikes road legal in Australia I know there is braaap I miss my old mini sm125 supermoto and I think it’s braaap that made a red 250 or 450 similar to the one in this video just better specs (I think) Honda xr engine , aluminium frame I’m pretty sure. We also used to be shinerays 250cc road legal bikes that I haven’t seen in ages and upset they stopped doing it they were an amazing concept best thing is when you see a listing pop up for one there stupidly cheap 2nd hand.
It's a beautiful bike bro. here in the Philippines lots of China bike also, and they are reliable too. I think the kayo 250 (China bike) is also available in the US now. and the Slam SMX(China bike) that was tested in UK
im curious how itd handle being on a track. i know its no honda. . . but sum ppl cant afford hondas. would this be a good entry lvl bike to start n learn on?
How much did they pay you bro? Just tell us… cuz you ain’t rid that shit since they sent it you…. Nevermind 6 month review. You defo not hit the track on that thing… tyres still have the nobblys 😂😂😂😊
He couldve changed the tires brother, its better to believe than to just straight up judge. MAYBE he dont rip her around the track and takes it nice and slow
I bought a new thump 140zr(oil cooled) as my first bike and honestly it was perfect for cruising around on and having simple fun… miss that bike so much lmao
I’ve had mine, exact Bike for 3 months and used it almost everyday off-road, actual trails. Throttle, and Clutch cable both have snapped, and replaced. Back wheel bearings have gone after less than a month of riding. Chain won’t stop stretching, replaced. Only thing that will remain stock in the end is literally the engine and frame. The end. Would I buy another Thumpstar? Hell NO!
@@TheThirdeye91 thx man I was looking at getting one hence watching this video but all the comments don't seem to like these bikes, I am australian so it seemed like a good option seeing as some are made here in aus but now I'm questioning it Was going to be my 1st bike as I have never ridden before, and considering a proper brand would cost me 8k+ brand new idk what to do
@@xnemessis as a first Bike to learn, work on it yourself etc. it’s a great Bike, rock solid motor. Just be prepared to switch out components when they go for better quality ones. Another bonus is they are cheap as hell to replace parts. So a beginner bike they are great to be honest.
@@TheThirdeye91 well thanks for replying, I completely understand if u have been riding Honda's ktm ect your whole life you comment is still valid and the thumpstar is probably not the next bike u want to get. but for a beginner I would probably learn a bit about bikes having to repair it frequently.. still a hard decision but thanks for this, I would hate to spend my money on something I would regret. Really appreciate the replies bro! Helped me out a ton
This model is like the MX250 here in the Philippines, the local brand here that is selling that enduro is just starting out. Heck that even with the weight is fun to watch and maybe, I'll own one soon.
Thumpstar isn’t a Chinese brand. It’s an Australian brand, more importantly from Perth, Western Australia. They just have a factory I believe to be in China. No different from the Japanese brands being made elsewhere.
For a long time thumpstar, orion and braaap were the best pit bike brands. I'm not sure about now what's good i've been out of the loop on pitbikes for years now
Big bore kit it, make it a real 250 they are actually 229cc if u buy a top big bore kit for like 400-500$ u get about 20hp instead of 15hp so you’ll get that torque
They sell these road legal here in the uk called a kurz fs250 I ride enduro after 2nd ride chain was stretched to hell, and also rear wheel buckled I sold it and hopped straight back on my Kim lol this is a sponsered video lol
I think it would have been great to take an offroad bike.. really offroad. hey look a wheelie, and a path my lowered car can travel. Get in into some dirt and compare it with the competition, being a used bike of the same price point.
@@kylelawrey1682 Right, the frames don't break, that's ridiculous. All of the good Chinese bikes now have frames copied after KTM, Husqvarna, and Honda. They're steel though, so they're heavy but that's not bad considering the low price of these bikes. You get a lot of bike for that low price. I have one and it's pretty tough and it's been very reliable.
The off road display was probly the flattest ive ever seen ..next time take it on some trails to demonstrate the bike ..any bike can ride in backyards and parking lots
I said the same thing i can get a name brand bike for that price, maybe not new but i can get a good ahh suzuki or yamaha 125 or 150 in good condition if you know what your buying
Get new motor for ya 140 bro and do a how to fit it video may help a lot of people out ,plus she deserves to be brought back to life after using her as a submarine hahaha 😂

Motorbro if u don’t put a light on the YCF pitbikes made in France (not Chinese not Japanese) ima be so disappointed in you 😅 nobody cares about thumpstar even after watching this
Not true, back in the day all bikes had steel frames and they were as good as the aluminuim ones when it comes to durability, aluminum frames are just lighter and stiffer that's why every brand switched to alloy frames in race bikes
@@ukaszsobota6756 That's exactly true. I was around in the '70's and '80's and all dirt bikes had steel frames. They didn't break unless the bike was very seriously abused. But overall breaking a frame was not common. The steel frames flexed a lot more than the modern aluminum frames though, and weighed a LOT more.
You think they worth it!?
Mine me asking but how much was it?
my chinese grom was a pretty much a mechanical nightmare. not good with bike work and bike shops won't work on a chinese motorcycle. i sold it to a mexican for $500
If you just want to have fun they’re cool but if you tryna handle business nah
That’s a great bike for what you are using it for! Having fun and getting a smile!! Always going to have HATERS tho!

Go up a size in the main jet , sounds like it's super lean , it will give it more top end for the wheelski's 👌
If you can get an oem dirtbike carb maybe from a crf and jet it right it might wake up with power for wheeelies

You should turn the idle down a bit

Try upgrading the carb and do another review. I heard they come lean and they make a little bit more power with a slightly bigger carb.
keep it up bro all about the content need sum diff every week ride outs and that hope you weeks solid mbro💯

Try a AJP they have the tank under the seat in the frame they turn like nothing with no weight at the front

The back fire is because of your valves you need to adjust them

It's an Australian brand, but the bikes are made in China. So it is a Chinese bike.
