New shifter cost me less than $20 at the time of purchase. It was cheap and so far this motorcycle upgrade seem well worth it. Gear position feedback, going into gear and finding neutral, has increased.

It is a good question, here are my findings. Up-shifting feel my toe needs to be moved forward, about an inch, and down shifting, I toe-in more and catch the arm as well as the peg and no problem.

BTW, I tried so others don't have to. It's no comfortable riding in sandels with the new shifter. It was wrong and a good life lesson. Ride safe. :D

Boom Vader (BD125-10) a 125cc motorcycle.

Have stronger bolts(3/8" grade 8), the bolt hole(engine side) must have 'widened' allowing for engine movement. YES! Finally caught the clue, I'm told Grom's have three engine mounts for a reason, so Grom-Clones should have a third. So, YES!

FYI, third mount arrived, will be installed soon. :D

I've heard some people complain that after market exhaust gaskets aren't thick enough, so they double them up. I've not run into this, so just what I've heard.

The items I used for my Boom Vader exhaust upgrade I have listed on this blog post: mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-aftermarket-exhaust-mod-instructions/ Have fun!

Thank you!

Excellent question! I covered what a pain the Boom Vader oil change was, mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-125-oil-change-stock/, with the stock exhaust. With this new exhaust piping, the oil drain plug is more accessible. So I'm happy.

I believe from experience and sources, "about 30 inches". Say about, since you are corrected, there is a compression ring(like pre-load) for the rear shock that I believe can be loosed to reduce the overall height when sat on.

Love it! Congrats on pulling the trigger and ordering one up. These Grom-Clones can be a tinkerer's paradise. Keep us informed about the results. Post what state you are in, and hopefully someone can respond with any registration issues. Congrats!

Thank you, I saw others doing it, via UA-cam, and didn't work for me. I might tinker with the speedometer more in the future, but for now I have the GPS and not really afraid of being accused of speeding with this bike. :D

Let me know if you are still interested in fixing your speedometer. I know it's been awhile.

​@@caposolomon8745how do you fix it

@@zapo4867 you need to buy a small programming stick that's about 80$ and have to wire it on to the speedometer. I'll drop a link when I have time

I've seen this solution, inline sensor programer. As an upgrade, it's at the bottom of my list, but thank you for the suggestion.

On the frame I had a stock airbox. Are you talking about the airbox?

@@MyMotorcycleBlog I don't know 😀 It looks like an empty plastic box. It is dripping water.

@@bulls45100 Interesting, is your air filter in there, and yes, it can drip 'something' since anything vented I feel is routed back to to the airbox. I believe the crankcase vent with a stock setup is routed back to the airbox since I had to move the vent line after going to a foam filter. So is the black box where the air filter at?

Big attraction to these bikes, they are like blank canvases. If people want bigger bikes, they buy them. If they want to tinker, they buy these little Chinese Grom-Clones and go to town. I was at a group ride a couple summers ago, all small bikes, and some people go crazy with their modes. Both performance and cosmetic. Fun bikes.

On: mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-grom-clone-upgrades/ I keep a list of upgrades I've done and would do again. Hope this helps. Hold on upgrading too soon, do the break in period first. Nice and easy riding. :D

@@MyMotorcycleBlog thank you brotha. Two questions 1. How long should I wait to do upgrades 2. Do you suggest I take bike to get inspected after I assembly and ride it around for a little? Once again thank you my friend

Yes it does. I found I needed to shift up almost immediately from 1st andI was easily red lining in 4th gear, while going at a slow speed with the stock gear. Acceleration came at a cost, but each gear feels like it has a more usable range, and top end was increased. Have fun!!!!

I only ride for fun, so not sure if I would guarantee a paycheck on it. Since my fixes I got over the biggest hangup. The bike would die. There was a vacuum that developed in the gas tank it seemed. mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-vapor-lock-no-fuel/

Had to check my Amazon order and it says it was 310. I see the others are 'longer' and wonder how much that changes sound.

I have a small inseam, about 29", and I find this bike very comfortable to ride, and more importantly stand with.

I have a smaller inseam, que the jokes, like 29" and I really flat foot the Boom Vader. If this helps.

Thank you, love the feedback.

I documented my ordering experience here( mymotorcycleblog.com/chinese-motorcycle-grom-clone-ordered-timeline/ ), I have to say ordering from Kronik Racing was a positive experience.

Had to go through my emails(early 2021), but found it. I ordered it from Superior Power Sports. I got the bike, and later the MCO, which took longer. So nothing bad or good to say other than it was a smooth process.

Interesting question, mine does not. Have you heard of problems?

I just bought one and had it registered today in so cal

I purchased my Boom Vader from Kronik Racing(my delivery experience: mymotorcycleblog.com/chinese-motorcycle-grom-clone-ordered-timeline/), they are in California.

Congrats, it was my first bike and I do like going out and riding it. If you are looking for info here are some sites that can help: mymotorcycleblog.com/tbr7-help-upgrade-sites/ Now you are part of a very weird club, have fun!!!!

Just remember, it's not a Grom, so there is some tinkering you can do to make it your own.

The 125cc Grom clones are tinkering bikes, if you don't like tinkering you are right. To get the initial Boom Vader reliable( mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-reliability-upgrades/ ) it only takes a couple steps and a few upgrades, all fairly cheap. Now when you start upgrading for power the larger Lifan KP, might be a better choice, but why stop there, there are 190 and 212cc engines waiting to be installed. :p

Some of the Boom Vader upgrades( mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-grom-clone-upgrades/ ) I've done with links to where to get them. Good luck, and keep us posted. I too had both a leaky carb and gas tank.

I rode my Boom Vader stock for the break-in period very gently. No problems. However, as I recall, when I started to do upgrades, I found the carb was beginning to leak, and the gas tank was already leaking(broken spot weld). So even with going easy on the bike, there are some design/manufacture issues. IMHO: Easy fixes, new carb, and sealing the gas tank(I guess). Regardless, it has never left me stranded (yet), and I beat the crud out of it.

Like the words are upside down on the plastic buttons? Think you are right, disassembly might be the solution, but I would just learn to live with it and it's a conversation item for group meet ups. Good luck and get to riding! :D

Reliable? Curious. Even the best made items have a reliability issue or two. What are you concerned about? Items like stock carb leaking, which I replaced for cheap, and stock chain rumored to not able to handle upgrades and abuse, again changed for cheap. I have a great time riding my bike, I feel like going a million miles per hour, but look down and only see I'm doing 55. :p

When I was researching it, the big difference between the two generations was the headlight. After that I recall some seat/rack differences, but other than that, I remember no specs differences. So it came to taste. I like the Gen 2 headlight because it reminded me of a Cyclon. :D

@@MyMotorcycleBlog ,oh ok kool,I'm ordering mine soon,it's a 2022 x21 50cc automatic like a Ducati monster clone,it looks like a 50cc dong fang too,I plan on getting a ss3 kp mini 150cc soon when I pass getting my class m1 endorsement thought little more speed to stay up with traffic better,but I believe the 50cc got better gas mileage

With my bike, ugly is good. Thinking about adding a milk crate on the back to add to my TBR7's look. :D

?

Thanks for asking, I covered much of this in a few blog posts, check out this page: mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-exhaust-piping-upgrade-box/

Slowly posting mods that worked here: mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-grom-clone-upgrades/

Covered the parts in a blog post here: mymotorcycleblog.com/boom-vader-exhaust-piping-upgrade-box/ BTW, Thx for stopping by!

The tail bag? Posted it on my blog, more info there: mymotorcycleblog.com/small-motorcycle-tail-bag-waterproof/

Upgraded the exhaust with a basic drop-in Grom Clone exhaust upgrade. Might not be a flashy as some of the higher end upgrades(might do that later) but this was an easy one for me. The Parts: mymotorcycleblog.com/tbr7-exhaust-upgrade-parts-arrived/

I was looking at one of those 150cc clones and thought they were perfect. Too perfect; I wanted a little bike I could tinker with, and the Boom Vader gave me a bike I could ride stock and then have fun doing upgrades.

I ordered it on 2/2022, so it was going for about $1400 delivered.

Have you got your bike yet ?

@@JacobtheKID-2001 Good Question.

So, did you get the bike yet? Riding the Boom Vader yet? What do you think?

Sounds great, easy to install, and didn't break the bank. :D
