Great vid! Thanks for doing those. I'm thinking about getting one, but have still tons of questions, which I couldn't find answers to anywhere else so far...Could you do a video about how to adjust the valves please? Also any other maintenance vid would be ace. (changing the tires/wheels, adjusting the chain, handlebars, installing the quickshifter, changing break pads, brake pipes, etc). Are those maintenance work doable by someone with no such experience? Also are there any specific tools to Ohvale required for this or do any standard tools for other bikes/cars work? And is it possible for one person to lift the bike and move it to the back of the car or you actually need a ramp to push it up on? Also, how do you transport it? Are there any special stands for transporting it? Also, if you've tried the 160 version - can you compare the two? 160 vs 190? Is it a massive difference? Thanks a lot!
Hello, Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching. I hope my answers help you... I will do a valve adjustment video shortly, maybe a month or so. I will look to do a full maintenance video doing all the items you mentioned, probably when I do the valves. All the maintenance items are doable from someone with little mechanical knowledge. If I do my video well enough you should be able to follow along to complete each task as i do. No specific tools for the ohvale. Mainly an 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17 mm wrenches and a set of Metric allen keys. A simple piece of wood works as a make shift ramp, however I have lifted the front tire and put it on my bumper then lifted the rear to walk to the bike into my wife's car. It is definitely doable. no special transporting stands. I have a van that I load it into. I have ridden a 160 and I would tell someone who is getting into mini biking that the 160 is perfect, all you require to go fast and have fun. The 190 can be tricky to ride because it has so much power. More chances to high side the bike coming out of turns. The power is not massive, but definitely noticeable.
Hey! The rear shok comes with some white plastic rings on it, I see yours still had them on this video, aren’t those for transportation only too? As those black rubbers on the engine? Can they be removed? Tks
Hello, I am having a hard time putting back my rear wheel. The brake caliper is touching the rim and I cannot set it back in position. Do I need to unscrew some screws to put it back ? Otherwise I have mounted your seat sliders on my Ohvale and they fit perfectly thank you again !
Hey, great channel, really hard finding any information on these bikes, those seat sliders are awesome, do you make them for the GP-2? And can you ship to the UK?
love the vids man, thx for sharing. I'm debating between a 160 or 190 and valued your opinion. I'm 5'6, 155lbs. not sure if I should start on the 160 or go straight to 190... I'm a intermediate- experienced rider
Are you going to sell your seat sliders outside of the US ? I am in France and I'll be interested with buying you a set. EDIT : Best Ohvale channel on YT. Thanks for all this informational videos
Thank you for the compliment. I enjoy making these videos. Email me through my website. I can ship internationally it’s just extra for the shipping cost.
Haha I know the frustration. I didn’t use it for the longest time but it helps settle the bike a lot when you start using it. I have two suggestions. (1) make the lever as short as possible. By moving the little piece that goes under your foot closer to the rear tire. It actually helps to get your foot on to it. (2) Norton Motorsports sells a rear set relocation plate that pulls the rear sets back an inch. Good luck.
@@MartinoDesign99 I ride with rear brake in general but it is almost impossible with gp0 it never stops surprising me every time I try to use it, my foot locks under the starter and I’m going straight 🤣 there is a thumb brake by Qnium
Mine will either start on the first kick or it’s super hard to start. The issue is the carb floods almost instantly. If you don’t get it started on the first kick simply hold the throttle wide open and give it a kick, guaranteed start! It pulls more air through with the throttle wide open.
@@MartinoDesign99 I also figured out mine had been sitting for about 2yrs and the petcock was clogged. It would feed through really slow. But we are all good now
Hey dude, how often do the Daytona’s require a refresh? Also any idea if you can fit evo bodywork on a pre evo or any other suggestions to improve leg space?
If you are consistent with Maintanence and oil changes you can get about 45 hours out of the engine before a rebuild. The EVO body work will bolt right onto the pre EVO frames. Also Norton Motorsports sells a rear set extender bracket. Helps with leg room.
That’s great I’m used to cheaper pitbikes that seem to need a refresh more often. Super helpful and great to know on bodywork and the rearsets, I’m 5 11 and sat on it for first time today admittedly without leathers but it’s not as bad as I expected to be honest but add a touch extra room wouldn’t go a miss. Finally any idea if there are other 10inch wheels that fit?
You can buy mine we just have to figure out shipping! To get a new one I am not sure for your country. Maybe reach out to Ohvale Official on Instagram.
A little late comment but I just got my 160 yesterday! I do have a question for ya: when you first got it, did it take several tries to kickstart it for the first time? Awesome video I’m glad I found this before I started messing with everything 😂
@@MartinoDesign99 another question for you! Haha I got mine started and when I let off the throttle it shuts off. Do I need to adjust the idle and if so, where is that adjustment screw? Thanks again!
Definitely need to adjust the idle. You have to get your head low it’s a screw with a black plastic knob on the right side of the carburetor. (Throttle side)
The only wires the 160 the 190 and the 212 engines have are for the magneto (3 wires) which keeps the coil power up for the spark plug. The fourth wire is a ground. There really isn’t much more to it than that.
Your advice about taking off the black plastics in the engine is WRONG!!! They are there to avoid engine vibrations, it has nothing to do with packacking. If you take it off you will notice the engine makes tinkling sounds. Look at other videos and you will see that people have them on.
Can you show how you set it up for GP shift? Thank you!

Great walk around.. keep it up
How oil cooler hose mounted from engine to cooler
Thanks for the link. Long shot here and I can try to make it work, do you know if it fits the bucci gp12?
Can I use Mobil 1 4 stroke motorbike fuel, as that’s all I’ve got for my current motorbikes
I believe you mean oil not fuel. I wouldn’t run synthetic oil.
@@MartinoDesign99 Ah ok, any recommendations?
I’d like to order a set of the seat sliders please.
Thank you! You can do so here….

Never noticed them. I am sure they are limiting travel in the full stroke but the chances of bottoming them out is pretty unlikely.

Thanks you! I have yet to fully confirm if the seat slider will fit on the GP2. I do ship to the UK. I can let you know when I confirm.
Great video thanks 👍 where can we get the protections that you make ?

Great video, waiting for more. What do you think about stock suspension, is good enough or better is to change for ohlins ?
The stock suspension in the rear is good enough. Upgrade to the adjustable front suspension or the ohlins. The base, non adjustable isn’t the best.

Mate do you use rear brake ? I can’t use it with that starter

How hard is yours to start? Mine is ridiculously hard to start

Where did the clear bodywork come from, did you make it or purchase from Ohvale?
Purchased it from Ohvale.

hi im from the philippines how can i purchase one
You can buy mine we just have to figure out shipping! To get a new one I am not sure for your country. Maybe reach out to Ohvale Official on Instagram.
What's the height from the ground to the top of the visor? Just wondering if I can roll this into my SUV.
It is 34” it will fit 😉
How do you actually secure it in place? Most docks are for > 12 inch wheels
Are those seat sliders solid? Will they last a few crashes or is the infill at only 20/30%?
They do last a couple low sides. They are infilled at 20% but the walls are pretty thick.
A little late comment but I just got my 160 yesterday! I do have a question for ya: when you first got it, did it take several tries to kickstart it for the first time? Awesome video I’m glad I found this before I started messing with everything 😂
Yes it does take a couple kicks the first time. It has to pull the fuel through the carb. Also make sure your petcock is open all the way.
@@MartinoDesign99 awesome! Thank you!
@@MartinoDesign99 another question for you! Haha I got mine started and when I let off the throttle it shuts off. Do I need to adjust the idle and if so, where is that adjustment screw? Thanks again!
Definitely need to adjust the idle. You have to get your head low it’s a screw with a black plastic knob on the right side of the carburetor. (Throttle side)
How to connect wire of 212cc to 160cc
The 160 has 4 wire only going to engine and the 212 has 6
The only wires the 160 the 190 and the 212 engines have are for the magneto (3 wires) which keeps the coil power up for the spark plug. The fourth wire is a ground. There really isn’t much more to it than that.
@@MartinoDesign99 the 212 has 2 yellow wire , green ,black/red and blue/white
169 has white/red,black/red, blue/white, yellowgreen/whitw
Oh he cute!
26hrs on one set of tires, you must be riding very slow I wouldn't get that from the motor....
