- Can we fix the cheapest and most expensive dirt bikes we bought on Amazon? After only one day both of these 125cc pit bikes broke! We bought warranties for both from Amazon, but were they worth the money?

@@heshanelikewela0127 did you get 1 from alibaba

I like the fact that you own your mistakes and don't edit out the blunders. I'm sure it draws some trolls, but the majority of us appreciate it.
Well if we edited out the blunders the videos would only be 3 seconds long. Lol 😂
No one really trolls Shaun, they make you shake your head at times but they are pretty good guys.
J Hood he should do a pit bike torture test on a thumpstar dirty b
Trustworthy, unbiased reviews of all bikes. Much appreciated and love the viewing.
@@BikesandBeards "Well if we edited out the blunders the videos would only be 3 seconds long." hahaha props dude
How do you not have a compression tester, and there is 100 bike's in the background, damn
i have a apollo 125cc that i took to Mexico like 8 years ago and still running strong gets the looks and overthere its amazing since you can lane split get on sidewalks and pretty much put in everywhere climbs hills like nothing everybody wants me to sell it but no its my baby. hehehhe worth every single dime.
Did you get it on amazon or a different website?
@@cs_katman theyre are pretty much the same but the one i have in Mexico its a 2009 model only few things change like plastics color, brakes, handlebars and shocks but same frame and engine.
I have a 2001 Honda xr70r and the only thing I’ve had to do is clean the carb and put a new sprocket on it. That bike is a beast
Random Guy yeah honda makes bulletproof engines 👌
@@yoshuaposhua25 i wouldnt ever call these sort of bikes beasts lol.
This is why I watch this channel. The honesty and integrity of Sean and the team. And great content 👍🏽👍🏽
You have a large audience, do a video on valve adjustment for the hawk and the pit bikes. They all need it guaranteed and they will run better. Should get decent views too. That is probably one of the most ignored maintenance items on any brand bike but these all come from the factory with next to zero clearance.
Yeah we don need to do that on some of our bikes
As someone with experience working in e-commerce, the #1 rule is: Give your customer the run around, and hopefully they'll give up. #2: Find a way to blame the customer (What did the client do wrong?) to avoid paying out. #3: Make yourself unavailable and work as slowly as you can to discourage customers from pulling this type of thing in the future.

That catwalk wipe out was the best thing I've seen all week.. Thanks for the laugh ..
Michael Yarmie ; I’m betting his left knee got injured a bit there.
@@Ethan.s.. haha ya it did in his latest video he was crying about it and wearing a knee pad.
10:55 bright side of that is sure you may end up spending as much as a new brand name bike in the long run but you end up with a reasonably high quality bike built to your liking , it's a bike you can truly make your own whilst spreading the cost across a longer time without dealing with loans.
Bikes like these are a great starting point for people wanting to get into fixing/upgrading their own bikes. The first thing I would do is pull the motor and strip it down, replace the pistons and rings with better quality ones and possibly have the cylinders bored out and sleeved. Go big or go home, take on every performance upgrade you can afford and do as much of the work yourself as you can. Far too many people today have no idea how to look after their kit let alone repair it when it breaks. You can get even better upgrade prices if you buy a wrecked higher end bike and harvest the good parts from it, breaks, suspension, maybe even motor/trans. Most bikes are written of by insurance if they have even the slightest frame damage that could remotely compromise structural stability and handling. There are numerous bikes out there that could be fixed for next to nothing or at the very least stripped for parts and used as upgrade donors.
I would definitely recommend the pittser pro, I just recently got a new one and is extremely good. Definitely worth the money and loads of fun.
wwhat model you have? The one for 3,5K or the cheaper version?
I've been watching all your Amazon bike vids. Very entertaining and tempting. Thanks for sharing the info on the warranty service and the fix for the starter. I'm sure that will help a lot of people. You may want to consider just pulling that small segment into a whole separate vid. There may be people searching for that specifically. Keep up the good work. I love your content
Thanks for the idea I just might do that
You are FAR from an idiot. Not everyone can do what you do.
I think your awesome! Thanks for the smiles I get from all your videos!
The kick start problem reminds me of a Honda crf50 that I bought cheap. The kick start wouldn’t turn the engine over . The owner thought it needed a rebuild so he sold it cheap. I adjusted the clutch , it kicked over fine and I never looked back.
I can't wait to get off work and watch this! Been looking to buy a cheap one for my boy to tear up
These bikes are built with such tight tolerances and the parts come from multiple manufacturers. Breaking in the engine insures that all of the metal filings that are over tolerances get flushed out properly as to avoid getting them stuck inside of your bearings and ruining your engine.
I luv my d17 Tao Tao, had it for 3 months so far. The only thing that sucks about them is the soft rear tire that the asphalt eats up so I bought a duel propose Kenda tire for 35$. Thanks for the video brah... I will definitely be putting a 22mm carb on her.
And I am stoked to see that I found a Christian 🏍 channel
Update... I put a 26 mm mikuni carburetor and bought a 14 tooth & a 16 tooth front gear.
The ending statements of this video ring true. I got the apollo for my son's first bike, he's 9 and he can almost touch the ground on it. Its been a great bike for him to learn on. After 5 tanks of fuel being ridden out of it, the only think we have worked on is adjusting the chain and putting in a throttle stop to give him a hand keeping it under control. An experienced rider wont have a lot of fun on those cheap bikes, but they are great to learn young on.
Every kid who wants to become a mechanic should buy a Chinese bike just for the learning curve 😂
True lol
And for the price
Even just to teach you to re check that every bolt is tight lol
Started from pocket bikes and now a diesel and small engine mechanic so this statement is so true in so many aspects....
Yep cut my teeth on an old 110cc pitbike. Thing broke down all the time 😂. Qualified mechanic now tho with 6 years done ✅
I had 2 Zongshen 250cc when I was young and broke. Never had any problem with engines and transmissions, but everything else was always broking.
Less than 3 weeks ago I started following your channel and have subscribed so I'm late writing. Your a spokesman for your motivational thoughts on AT LEAST GETTING IN THE SPORT comments. II watched the episode where you got that paddle scooter and gave it to a 15 year old just to get him started. I got emotional ( more than the kid!). You've touched people with humor and obviously a lack of mechanical knowledge but we ALL cant be smart as our dads ( I am !). Hope all is good and I'll be waiting on new episodes to come my way.
I find it hillarious that he thought they would last.
The ATV I use on my farm is a 250cc Honda from 1986. Far lasting other people's much newer cheap Chinese quads.
Finally!!! A review that actually has useful information. I have looked for a review from Dirtbike magazine on Chinese pit bikes and came up with nothing. They usually come from kids that just got their first one or dealers.
So... still more reliable than a Harley.
lol seems that way!
Rob Mirsky 1990 Harley 64000 miles upgraded carb cam and exhaust at break in. Dyno tuned at that time. I have a 1971 Sportster with 100,000 miles on one rebuild at 90k. Tires, oil, and a drive belt, since. I own 10 or more Hondas at any given moment. Great bikes but they have their turds. Just like Harley Davidson. Maintenance is the key.
@@dwartfarquart9590 I'm pretty sure just like every bike maintenance is key
I love the fact you tell your mistakes etc you probably will help lots of first time buyers great video I enjoyed it.
I don't know what the 16 year olds are like in the US but when I was 16 I was able to fix absolutely anything on my bike and lots of other bikes.
I had a neighbour that knew how to fix older motorcycles so when i was 10 i bought one and he helped me fix it i drove it alot until my mother got a step dad (my real dad broke up with her when i was 5) i was 11at that time i really wanted a pit bike cause in my country has really cheap used pit bikes so he bough me one for 160 bucks that we thougjt was real nice so we fixed it up n stuff showed me how to make a engine 0 to 100% and i started fixing it myself afterwards when it needed smth so i had interest in engines and stuff so i boheadgasket (Audi 80 b4 2.3 universal body) thats been sitting for aboutta 7yrs driven 5km every years so it needed a new headgasket and i didnt really have anything to get the engine outta the frame so i did it the russian way and rolled it on the side and got it put fixed the engine up got the engine back in worked like a charm and after all that i am now 14 and i kno how to fix any engine that i wanna fix
I just turned 16 a little while ago and 2 days after my birthday i was offered a job at my local small motor repairs for lawnmowers and dirtbikes/ATV ect
When I was a kid, I was on the swings and swung all the way around.
I am 15 and a 3rd gen farmer . By the time I was 10 I was running tractors and I am pretty dam good at it I have done a in frame rebilled on the engine in one of the tractor we have FYI it's a 253 acre farm and the ongoing saying it "it will be fine"
When I was 16 I beat goro in mortal combat
best thing about me having these when I was younger, my brothers mate was a really good 2t/4t mechanic and worked on high end tuned scooters and pitbikes all the time, whenever I had issues I would send it to him and he'd fix it or get new parts...they always brake lol
Love my 89 Honda NX 125. Nothing crazy, but is a great back road cruiser.
I have a tao tao db14 and honestly for the price paid their not bad bikes i understand your manufacturer had problems but the one ive bought has been running for almost 2 years now and all ive changed is a back rim luv ur vids btw
CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO OF YOU GUYS BUYING POCKET BIKES AND TEST RIDING THEM😂don’t mind the caps lock but that would be the funniest video
Or a bad idea
I’d buy an American made bike from SRK Cycles!
You don’t steam clean a bike, things shrink when they are cold so your piston expanded and it put a mark on your cylinder wall
You should buy the most expensive and most cheap bikes for wish
Dear Sir-Great videos! My 13 year old Chinese 2 stroke motorized bike motor crank shaft bearings have no races. They actually create their races during the break in period. This was stated in the owners manual and emphasized by the company that I bought the engine from. I rode it under 18 mph for about 500 miles to prevent catastrophic failure of the crank bearings and have logged over 1000 miles on the engine. Then again, I never drive "Pepe" over 18mph, and run quality 2 stroke oil at the break in ratio of 26:1-my .02-John in Texas
Hey when you checked compression did you open the throttle? Also the max compression is not much of a concern. It’s more about how it gets there. It should get to it’s max compression in 5 strokes or 5 compression cycles. If you keep turning the motor over they will keep going up in compression pretty well even if there is an issue but they will not build pressure quickly if there is an issue.
When you do a compression test you hold the throttle wide open!! And a great carb to run is a Mikuni vm22
14ev0x you can just crank it over a few times.
KoKo Beatz I wasn’t asking I was telling! The proper way to do a compression test is the hold the throttle wide open
Awesome start for anyone just starting to get into riding two wheels or any kind of bike. Great video!
My own experience of warranty (uk🇬🇧). I bought a grey import new yamaha yp250 majesty scooter saving over £1,000 on list price. The bike shop i bought it from didn't put gear oil in the gearbox. I had it fixed at my local trusted bike shop and Bonanza said it was covered by the 'wisebiker warranty'. Wisebiker said it was down to the dealer and as neither would budge i ended up swallowing the £120 bill. Thank you Bonanza (now Maverick) motorcycles in croydon, UK. I have a long memory.
I have a 1984 honda atc125m it's supposed to have 150 to 190 psi, but I tested it, and it has 60 psi, but it still runs awesome
Did you hold open the throttle plate while doing your compression test?
This is as real as it gets love the content bro I’m subscribing
Thanks for your videos guys, you are keeping me entertained through this Coronavirus quarantine! ♥️
That's a lot of bikes owned without owning a compression tester, definitely recommend anyone who goes beyond changing oil or any vehicle pick one up, since its one of the core things to check when troubleshooting any engine issue with a failure to run.
Hi guys, are you not meant to hold the throttle wide open when doing the compression test, that’s what everyone else does when doing the test. Always take pictures with your phone when taking anything apart, then you know how to put it back together properly.Great video guys as usual. 😎👍👍👍
I can recall an 1980s competition 2 strokes 50 cc with a factory 26 mm carb (Fantic Motor Caballero), so maybe a 26 carb on these pit bikes would be ok.
These videos make me want to order one of these 125’s even now. Just checked the website, and they’re $700 + shipping. 🤔 I paid $700 3 years ago for a lawn mower engine-powered mini bike from the local farm supplier.
I have the same Apollo you just need to take wd40 and spray it into the wire for the clutch up at the lever and work it for a second and in gets tremendously better
adjust the valves on both bikes .005 exhaust .003 intake
Which one would you prefer to buy between the Apollo and taotao?
if you wanna see some enduro videos with these apollo bikes that's all I video!
I’m dead the $750 one with $250 in upgrades would be comparable to the $2000 one lol. That’s why people buy the cheap one.
Dam Sean!!! That looked like your right ankle and left knee took the brunt of the impact, thank goodness you did a good tuck and roll protecting your noggin! Love the videos brother - be careful man! we want to keep seeing you do your thing... I'm in Long Island NY - if you ever need treatment come and see me! Then we'll go ride. We have some nice roads out east by the Hamptons.. (Next time wear a helmet!)
Ankle is fine knee is beat up. I’m still limping lol but that’s what I get for not wearing knee pads
Yes wear a helmet and learn ATGATT. Head trauma can take months to recover from(if ever) and doing wheelies on pavement without a helmet will eventually end bad.
Love the channel my guy keep on keeping on
You sell motorcycles for a living yet you don't even own a compression gauge? Nobody should ever purchase a motorcycle from you.
Both the clutch adjustment and the ignition/CDI getting wet are very common Lifan engine issues.
Best point ever, these bikes get people into riding!
What performance carb did you put on the tao tao? you proved it was effective in the vid, can you send me a link? thanks
my friend has a tao tao and he never broke it in, and it still runs great till now. Just the tires wear out very quick if you ride on street. but one bad thing that happened to the bike is the excaust guard had the bolts and nuts flew out so there is 2 bolt holes in the excaust
Your knowledge on bikes is like how I think. Welcome me to your Channel. I’ve subscribed. Till next time from the uk. Thanks
Yanno i mastered that just got a new motorsickle thing you did there at the end by 5 years of age...😁
really would like to know how the Pitster Pro holds up instead of spending 3gs out the door on a Japanese 110
Pitster pro have an amazing reputation and a great parts catalog also
Sean: "of course we didn't do the proper break in"
Warranty company and seller: "we got you, you dirty son of a b1tch!"
You guys should’ve gotten a 26mm I put one on my 125 and it rips but of coarse a little bit of tuning is necessary
Appreciate your review of these bikes and the warranty issues
Dude, I just bought a tao tao db-17 125cc for my girlfriend, and i had the exact same problem with the clutch way out in left field on the adjustment from the factory. The stock carb is f***ing garbage also, looking into a Nibbi.
I would buy a Pitster Pro in a heartbeat any day over the other types, but the problem is that I cant get them in my country.
Great channel love the daily quotes as well
I have a honda oddesey, and let me tell you it pulls that pull start back so hard. it hurts a ton... similar to the kickstarting issue but it literally wrecks your hands... it needs work xD
My uncle picked up a loved on ttr125 for $200 I told him I liked it and he gave it to me for graduating highscool. learned how to take the whole carb apart before I learned how to ride it lol still got it and runs good 4 years later
Great bikes super fun
@@BikesandBeards amazing bikes! I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. That's the bike that got me into bikes. Good for beginners but still can do 3rd gear wheelies oh yeah
I’m not mechanic or scientific but when metal is hot and cold is applied kinda instantly don’t that shrink or deform metal????
I had two brand new Yamaha mt125’s broke it in how the manufacturer advised, the other I went against advise and rode how I want the bike that I rode with no “break in time” was considerably faster than the first one
One engine is a loncin and other is a lifan. I was a dealer for both companies for 8 years. Still have a few bikes kicking around that run like new. If u are handy guy can source parts and keep em going for years. If you want to buy and ride without doing any fixes then don't buy. The Tao has adjustable rear rebound btw look for the piece that rotates at the bottom of the shock. Apollo always looked better even the 250s looked bad ass but Tao quality is much better as well as parts availability. Just my 2 cents
The difference in these motors power are the cylinders a carbs which u can basically almost take a 50cc and use 52.8mm bite and make it a 88cc they are same motors just diff bore sizes and stuff
Lol, my son has one of those Chinese bikes but it is made by Gio and the engine looks the same with the same PZ27 carb. Can be a real pain but when running runs well. There is a dealer nearby but my son bought a 250 cc Suzuki instead and the Chinese bike just sits now.
Did you hold the throttle open when testing the compression.
Just having a kid ride it for a day the way a kid normally rides would have been a proper break in lol
Its called "A Pablo" 🤣🤣🤣
I have a chinese bike for 2 years and i've paid 650 dollars, i used it on very rough trails and never broke, still running perfectly
Have you considered trying to get UK entry level legal road bikes? (125cc etc etc)
Great video, thank you for your honest reviews. Could you do some videos showing how to set up the carburetor? I replaced mine with a "mikuni" but am having no luck getting it to run right. Was having variations in idle speed sitting by itself, Bogs out when given throttle quickly. Now it won't start at all. Loved the bike. Now I just want it to run.
Nice wheelie! Lol tho i do hope that u make it into the dirtbike markets as an American made dirt bike builder!
You should review the Orion rxb 125... street legal dirt bike. They look like the best bang for your buck
Them:“It broke in one day”
Also them: *throwing it off a mountain”
love the end lol :)
How did you not have a compression tester and not really know about compression? Do you just own all new bikes and not wrench on them?
Have a blessed weekend. Go out and have some fun. It's going to rain here this weekend. Oh I'm in North Carolina. 👍✌🦋
Please make a video on the pitster pro there are no good videos on TH-cam for high ish end pitbikes I'm about to go 2k deep in one and would love to see what you think
With that big a shop... I am chocked that you not have more common mechanical knowledge.... Or a compression tester 😅...
Clutch slip on those small primary clutch engines are common.. (the nut was for clutch adjusting).
Still love your show 😂😂😂
👍 It won't happen in my lifetime, but we can only hope that we will someday build a bike like that. Hopefully better than that junk! And yea a 26 is to big!
Another great video guys. Always fun to watch. Also enjoy seeing the weekly bible verse. Something that more people need to utilize. Thanks again
Make sure you’re opening the throttle on the compression test, all the way open
For someone 6'0 tall 140lbs what you think a good starter bike without breaking the wallet ? Are either of these a good option or best to stay away from them both ?
Thanks for posting this. After seeing the other video, I was curious how this would turn out...
Change to pe 24 carb... aftermarket clutch plate n springs...
Just buy a TTR125 if you want an entry level dirt bike. If you can find one at a decent price that is.
It's not what you ride, it's that you ride!!
surrounded by motorcycles how did you make it this far without owning a compression tester
Can you please post the link of the carburetor you installed on these pitbikes?
Would love to see CSC included in comparison.
maybe we will what csc bike are you thinking?
***if it's hard to pull or kick start its definitely water on tip piston. Water cannot compress. Stand it straight up an let water run out, and it should crank right up. If not still just take the head off
