this is exactly what i needed to see thanks. im a new rider and also plan to learn wheelies. seems like the perfect bike to screw around on to grow some fundamentals
Dude! Thanks for the awesome video and info. Vids like this are worth their weight in gold for people researching. Looks like a ton of fun, I'm joining the bandwagon!
*Your video showed me exactly what I was trying to find out.* The first mod on my Chinese 4-wheeler and dirt bike both needed the intake chopped wide open. It literally made a 25% increase in all around power and performance. 2nd was a 3 electrode plug on my 4-wheeler that everyone says does nothing, but it was strangely the most powerful mod of everything. A microcontroller controlled CDI made a big improvement in performance, none really with power. 100 feelt of exhaust wrap and I custom built a coupling to put a 2.5" glass pack muffler on it. The Pentora is a clone of a Yamaha Raptor 250 and mine after the mods will destroy a stock Raptor.
I appreciate you saying what needs to be changed and also saying that 90% of things could be interchanged with Grom parts cause I definitely didn't know what size dust seals to get for my hellcat
Great videos man. I had an X18 pocketbike back in 06 07(same engine types...not street legal) I love that people are now getting into the clone game. I've been preaching this since my x18 ...yx150 "racing" engine with 6disc clutch basket upgrade pulled my 220lbs to over 75mph. These things have HUGE potential i might buy another very soon
@@outsideboy23my guy right now it feels like the world is going to collapse. Not the whole world. My whole world. Im a grand behind on rent. I got medical debt, fines. My mustang whitch is my only form of transportation needs a new sending unit, and a car battery. I got to make everything happen wile only having 47$ to my name. Of course i have a job, but everything is expensive here. It feels like I failed in life.
Crazy I was always Weary of buying a "NonGrom" but this budget minded mini seems legit enough I've gone from a 88cc Honda fiddy to a wr250x and now my sportster 1200s I've always felt a place in my stable for a street legal mini thanks for the mod info
Fun bike, looks good in Blue. You've got that thing prepped out for stunts for sure. I have yet to ride a wheelie on mine. Ive done all the usual upgrades to my Vader as well but not the way most are doing them. It is a ripper now with some help from Tbolt USA. check it out. And keep us updated on the Vader seen.
Yeah, I need one. 😭 looping my Harley sucked. Flipped and everything. Thank God the bike was setup with crash bars or I would still be waiting for parts.
Hey I know this is a old video but just wanted to ask if you ever went down the route of upgrading the clutch springs to a stiffer spring? Can’t seem to find out which springs specifically will work. Wanting a bit more bite out of my clutch maybe 60% stiffer springs.
Just replaced my carb on my grom clone as well as sprocket and exhaust. Did you have to make any adjustments to the carb after you installed and removed the airbox? My bike seems like it wants to Idle a little high which I know there is an idle screw that can be adjusted. Love the content though, not a whole lot out there for the grom clones!
pretty sure you’re tired of questions like these but great video, I’m thinking of a grom but the prices are steep in my area, I’m just looking for a bike to ride for the summer so which would you recommend?
@@erikleighton4952 after calling for days, I found out an ETA for the bikes. They told me that they should be in stock anywhere between April 30th and May 28th. I decided to pay by money order for the $44 discount (which they received April 12th) but claim it will clear May 2nd. Basically I am expecting mine May 7-28th. Oh and I found a $25 discount code through google and ended up saving a total of $69 for a grand total of $1270.90 shipped to my house.
@@ionicbreeze hey, can you do me a favor and let me know when they send you a shipping update. I’m obviously still waiting on mine and I’m assuming you put your order in before mine
@Erik Leighton hey man, they updated my order to “on hold”. I don’t have any other updates unfortunately. I placed my order April 1st. I’ll wait till may 28th which is the latest they said it would ship...and then begin the tedious process of calling them non stop until I get my bike.
@@ionicbreeze thanks for the reply man. I’m in the same situation. Thinking about canceling and just paying a little more and getting it from venom. They have them in stock right now
@@JBSTUNTZ just ordered mine. is it hard work to replace this stuff brand new from box? I would rather order this stuff and do it before i even get it assembled, recommend?
Is it easy to replace carb and front sprocket? If I master wheelie with this, I should be able to wheelie with my 1200 no problem? Can I learn how to drift doughnuts, burnout, and roll stoppie with this
now how would one of these do as a camping bike? I use to take a Honda Ruckus into the mountains to camp would honestly love get in to low powered bikes for short distance travels.
Amazing, Calm narration during wheelie 👍🏼 Is going fi just flushing money on these ? One concern that persists for Me, are the Poor welds and inferior metal casting.
Hey man I was just watching I just bought safe bike trying to wheelie I just ordered the carb but the link to the front sprocket isn’t working what do you suggest ?
Did the carb bolt right on or did you replace the intake? Cause I want to get one but I don't want it to be a pain in the was messing with the carb all the time. Also is that the gen 2?
JBStuntz big fan of your channel Quick question I just bought my Vader and It's getting delivered on june 15th How hard was it to take out the air box. I got the Vm22 carb from your link
Im having trouble finding a replacment rear set since mine snapped. Do you think aftermarket grom ones will fit. Some of them have a different shift linkage so i'm not sure.

Where’d you pick it up for $1000? I’m here in Vegas and I can only find it for $1500
Amozon
Great Video. Just wondering if you have a link for the exhaust or fender eliminator. First good video on this bike that ive seen
This dude said “This wind is blowing me straight”😂

Thank you bro. You sold me. Im buying one now
1300 bucks just for the bike right now though.

She’s clean G
so if you didn't know you can upgrade it to Grom engine but you have to give it more amounts so you need welding experience
great video. definitely going to subscribe especially since i recognize most of these neighborhoods.
so remove the fuel filter exchange it to petcock? just straight up swap it? no need to change fuel lines?
Just replaced my carb on my grom clone as well as sprocket and exhaust. Did you have to make any adjustments to the carb after you installed and removed the airbox? My bike seems like it wants to Idle a little high which I know there is an idle screw that can be adjusted. Love the content though, not a whole lot out there for the grom clones!
Yeah you literally just adjust that screw on the carb until the idle comes down to what you like. Left is idle down, Right is idle up.
Just bought a Vader 125cc from Red Fox. Time to get it on one wheel!
pretty sure you’re tired of questions like these but great video, I’m thinking of a grom but the prices are steep in my area, I’m just looking for a bike to ride for the summer so which would you recommend?
I bought one preorder too from Red Fox Powersports..I’m terrified I won’t get the bike or something lol cause I mailed money orders.
I just ordered one from them a few days ago too. Let’s hope it shows up

🔥🔥🔥🔥 getting mine tomorrow
Could you put real links to the parts? Thinking about getting one
Just added the links to the description!
@@JBSTUNTZ just ordered mine. is it hard work to replace this stuff brand new from box? I would rather order this stuff and do it before i even get it assembled, recommend?
Giskrenov did it arrive yet?
Love your video thanks man for the breakdown
Yoo I know the video is old, I messaged on instagram as well but how did you figure out getting the bike up while rolling!?
Is it easy to replace carb and front sprocket? If I master wheelie with this, I should be able to wheelie with my 1200 no problem? Can I learn how to drift doughnuts, burnout, and roll stoppie with this
I have oil leaking from my exhaust, is it the gaskets ?
Where’d you Grt the rear pegs?!
Thanks for the tips 😊👍 I think I'm going to try the carb
Futura icebear?
U like?
What 190 cc motor are you talking about? I definitely wanna do this
What gear shifter do u have? I’ve been searching and searching and they’re too long I need a short one I have a small foot lol
What is the 190CC Motor that I can Install on this lol I just bought a Vader and waiting for it to come in
Can i put bmx pegs, what kind of pegs are those
what's good bro, what sliders u usin?
Just bought the same bike. Should I break it in before I do any upgrades also what oil did you use for break in
You can do the upgrades but just take it easy on the motor for the first like 100 miles
How soon can Yu change the carb I just bought a new vader
Where can I get the foot pegs?
Broskey I have a question.. I'm a tiny mothertrucker so I bought a taotao hellcat, what other small bike do you recommend
now how would one of these do as a camping bike? I use to take a Honda Ruckus into the mountains to camp would honestly love get in to low powered bikes for short distance travels.
Amazing, Calm narration during wheelie 👍🏼
Is going fi just flushing money on these ? One concern that persists for Me, are the Poor welds and inferior metal casting.
Do the Honda grom subcages fit them?
Yes!
how did you do fender eliminator ?
Can I learn stagger wheelie with this or one hand wheelie
Hey man I was just watching I just bought safe bike trying to wheelie I just ordered the carb but the link to the front sprocket isn’t working what do you suggest ?
Where can i get a exhaust like that?! I need
Yo man did you trim down the bars at all I’m having trouble with my clutch cable possibly being too short
Perfect video👌
Great video. Is that a good place to buy and did carb mount right up? Any jetting on new carb? Thanks buddy
Where did u get those footpegs?
Cool insightful video ! Thx ☺️ makes me want to get one instead of a grom !
where did you get the foot pegs from
What kind of Carburetor
My bike won't stay on without the choke being on any help?
Got new link for carb?
why does mine feel like I have to open the throttle so much jus to getting moving
What muffler did you buy and what did you have to do to it other than cutting off the factory one?
Did the carb bolt right on or did you replace the intake? Cause I want to get one but I don't want it to be a pain in the was messing with the carb all the time. Also is that the gen 2?
Heads up the speedometer is like 10 mph off
How do you get controls off handlebars? Took screws out want come off. Thanks
Great educational video for a newbie like myself! Just wondering, what do you run for tire PSI?
I’ve been looking to buy one of these where would I look to get a good price on one?
What carburetor should I swap it for ?
I got the carb and the throttle is so short, it just feels like hella play, and after that it only turns like a quarter of an inch? What can fix this?
You think the $88 amazon slip on carbon fiber exhaust will work, it fits the grom but I just want to make sure
It mounts a little different, you’d have the bend the header a little I believe
@@JBSTUNTZ you're correct.
Bought a ransoto "amazon" exhaust for grom and it won't fit my clone until I get it done from a exhaust muffler shop
The carb need to be 125cc or I can put one with more cc
Hey, I have this bike, but I swapped in a SSR 125cc. Would your parts list work for my motor?
Did you replace the intake manifold or just use the stock one?
Im about to buy one getting my motorcycle license also in 2 weeks
Is that vm22 carburetor a "26mm" ???
Exhaust link?
Do you have a link or what the exact name of the pegs you used for your rear sets?
impressive
Couldn’t find the slip on pipe on eBay. Can you update a link?
Did you have any charging issues with the battery when you first got it?
I haven’t seen a single car on your streets for the whole half of the video 😂
Cause this was April 2020 lol everything was pretty much shut down still!
JBStuntz big fan of your channel
Quick question I just bought my Vader and It's getting delivered on june 15th
How hard was it to take out the air box. I got the Vm22 carb from your link
Couple of bolts man. It's super easy. I'm sure you did it already though lol
Did you do any oil mod like in the groms to wheelie ? Just bought one to learn foot brake
Is it worth it ? I’m really debating Vader or grom
How often do you change you’re oil? These and the Tao Tao hellcats are basically the same just different plastics.
Peep18m like every 300 miles I change it.
JBStuntz thanks for the info bro 👍🏼👍🏼
do the handlebars fit or would i need to get new different risers?
How often do you tap the rear brakes, if at all?
My grom won't start. I change the battery but still won't start. All lights turn on but the bike won't crank
Are you using a flat or round slide?
What rearsets did you buy
It's the stock rearsets with BMX pegs on it to stop the pegs from snapping if i drop it
Thank you I found then
Will a grom subcage work on this?
What about oil pump mod do you have to that to this bike
I never did one, never had any issues
Where do you get the carb from?
Im having trouble finding a replacment rear set since mine snapped. Do you think aftermarket grom ones will fit. Some of them have a different shift linkage so i'm not sure.
Grom ones fit man, at least the stock ones do.
@@JBSTUNTZ ok thank you!! Have you been able to find black ones?
Where did you buy this for $1000???
How you put the cubulater
I’m buying one right now to stunt out!
is the carburetor 26 mm? im not seeing anything other than that.
Stock is like 18 22 is a good upgrade I put a 26 on one was too rich for it
You mind telling me what mods you have done. I can’t get mine to come up in second even with dumping the clutch?
Bruh are u a beginner? Bc if so you are not picking that bike up in second lmaoo
Has anyone bought it from the link in the description, it’s the cheapest but idk how reliable that website is
What brand bike is this
What should I replace the fuel filter with?
Is there a oil mod like the Honda groms
