0.05mm valve clearance intake and exhaust. Rear shock has multiple setttings for stiffness and rebound. Those are mistakes in the review. Both the KAYO and VMC are worth checking out if you are new or experienced.
The rear shock has quite a lot of adjustment to be honest. Set the sag at about 20mm for the rear. If it is hot where you are then just find some PMT Soft compound tyres. You will not regret it. Those tyres are what almost every pit bike in Europe run in either Soft, Super Soft or the Rain compound slicks (I know it sounds odd having rain slicks) But for really cold or a wet track (not raining) they work really well. The forks seem really cheap but SP or FastAce forks work really well and if you run the fast ace fork just swap out the oil for 20wt oil. We have been running some properly rated for springs in our pit bike with a 15% stiffer front end. Pull the pads out and see if they are the same as some other bike, Usually they do copy a pad being produced already and find an SBS, EBC or Brembo made pad for the brakes. Swap the Master Cylinder for an Adelin one if the pad swap is still not enough. But if you spend a bit of money on the bike swap the brake for a Formula 4 piston set up (KTM 85cc MX bikes use them as standard) and a set of Brembo pads you will not regret it.
Thanks for the information! I have purchsed VMC upgraded adjustable front forks and I plan to install it in the off season. I will look into the brake setup as well! Do you set your valves at .05 intake/exhaust?
@@motionsick4973 I am running a Z155 engine in my pit bike and those are set at about 0.05 (.003" of an inch as I work in old school thousandths of an inch for valve clearances).
Hi. I appreciate the videos of this VMC. Mine arrived to not to long ago and I'm setting it up this weekend. What battery did you get that fits in the tray?
Congratulations! I got the battery from autozone. I believe a standard motorcycle battery will fit. I just measured the box and brought a tape measure to autozone to double check it though. I have left the battery plugged in, no battery tender, all winter and the bike fired up no problem this spring...so that's cool
@@motionsick4973 Thanks! That's good to hear about the battery.. Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting out on the bike. :)
man that's awesome, I have the first gen of the ohvale and it was just to small and way to expensive. what website did you get it from?
Hey man! Agreed about the Ovhale! I still think the Kayo MR150 is the best bike for bigger riders ergonomically but this one is awesome too. They are available on Alibaba or search on Facebook and message Freya directly. Definitely a solid bike for the money!
@@motionsick4973 nice, thanks bro
@@motionsick4973Hwy man, thanks for your videos about vmc I'm in the market for one for my kid. From Alibaba, the shipping kills the deal when I can get kayo for the same price and better parts support. Can you give me an advice please?
Would you pick this over a Kayo MR150, stock for stock?
Oh man...tough question! I would really struggle to choose between the kayo and the VMC. The KAYO has so much aftermarket support and is a great size. Power is more modest though...hmmm..maybe I should do a video
Where did you get this?
Hey I couldn’t see that well but does it have an oil catch can? Look like it. If u can send me a picture of it that would be awesome because I have a 190 and she spits oil on high revs and during wheelies ha my bike didn’t come with a catch can
6:22 shows the oil catch mounted on the engine. Should be able to find one online for a ZS-190. No good to have oil leaking while popping a wheelie...or ever!
@@motionsick4973 yup thanks yeah I thought that was a catch can I like how it looks it’s sleek and transparent. I recently bought one and installed it but I couldn’t find anything like yours
1/4 the price of an ovale?? im getting one.. where is the website? I tried to search and couldn't find it.
Yeah, the new model has an adjustable front fork too! check out VMC on Facebook: look up "Freya Lyu" she doe the orders. PM her.
Thanks for the review! How tall are you? Is it reasonable enough to ride for taller riders? I'm 6'3 and fit on modified groms (ergonomics wise) alright, but not sure about the mini gp bikes
Hey Dylan! I'm 6'4". This bike is small for me but rideable. I added a thickened seat pad and I would recommend clip on risers. It would be nice to have more adjustability in the rear sets too. This bike in stock form has good power and keeps up with the Ovahles but the ergos on the Kayo 150 are better for tall riders IMO. Kayo with rearsets, clip on risers and thick seat pad feels really nice actually. However, the stock Kayo is not competitive against the Ovahles. Get a mini you won't regret it!
@@motionsick4973 wow, thanks for the quick and detailed response! I'm locked in and gonna get one! Where did you get the super thick seat foam from?
@@dylancameron4559nice!!! Look up the Moto4u 20mm foam pad off Amazon. That one feels nice
@@motionsick4973 I know the one! I run the same one on my R3 and R6. Did you stack multiple ones on top of each other? Think I noticed that on your other videos
they have a hydraulic clutch set up for the 190cc and grom brimbo brakes would be a nice up grade you can probably get 8/10 more hp out of it' mini track beast
I ordered a hydraulic clutch but it didn't fit without a new clutch mount bracket on the engine so I just put it on the shelf. Do you know a brand that fits without modification? I'll look into the Brembo brake upgrade. I got the a 14mm Brembo master cylinder installed but haven't tested it yet. It may be too big and actually make the brakes worse...we'll see. thanks for watching!
if you get a daytona clutch side case it has a remarkable circle clutch cover were the arm located and they sell one with a hydraulic built in the cover'' it a great upgrade for a zs190' engine for the brakes to function currently you also need the calibers s0 every sized write for each other.
Where can you purchase one?
Search VMC GP-12 on facebook and you'll find them. Message them directly, they are quick to respond.
What is the green one next to it?
Kayo MR150. That's an awesome mini bike!
Where do you get either one? I want one!
@@AC-jh3pn svracingparts.com!
@@motionsick4973thank you.
I’ll let you know when I get one!
Hey looking at getting one of these for next year. if you could go back would you do the daytona 190 or stick with the zongshen 190? Trying to see if the extra $1k for the better motor is worth it. Thanks!
I got the chance to ride a Daytona on an Ovhale at the track. It does pull a little stronger for sure, but it doesn't blow the doors off the ZS 190cc. If you are racing a bunch of Ovhale's it's worth the extra $. If you are just track day riding I'm not sure it is. You can also just buy the 4 valve head down the road and essentially convert the ZS to the Daytona. I'm glad you are considering the bike!
The ohvalle gp2 190 are more then 1k.. the gp2 is like 7 grand if not more.. I e seen these going for like 4 to 5k... Plus the 190 engine in the GP2 if you look them up they're only like $1,500
Great review! How does it compare to Kayo MR150? Especially from the ergos standpoint? I am 5'11" and on my Kayo I find myself not being able to avoid scraping my toes when throwing it into the turns hard. Also, my hands go numb from the vibration and being cramped so tightly after 10 minutes of riding at pace. Probably a very individual reaction but still, would be interesting to hear if there's any noticeable difference between the VMC and KAYO comfort wise. Thanks again!
Thanks for the comment man! ERGO-wise the Kayo with the upgrades I added (rearsets,clip on risers, seat riser and thick pad) have made my Kayo the most comfortable mini-bike I've used. With that said, the stock VMC feels pretty big out of the box. Less legroom for sure but not by much. If I could put rearsets on it to get a little more leg room it would be comparable to my modded Kayo. I think 20-minutes is about all we can do on these bikes before we need a break. LOL. Is your Kayo stock?
I got rear sets and larger tail section. I was thinking of adding clip on risers and a thicker seat pad. Maybe that would allow me to raise the pegs a bit to avoid scraping.
@@dpersh76 Give that a shot. I scrape my pegs on the Kayo but not the VMC for what it's worth
So the seat padding came off? How many parts does it come crated? wondering about assembly. Good to know it works well with tall riders. Was it easy to shift gears since you're tall?
Seat padding just needs some 3M spray. The factory stuff loses its grip when it warms up. The bike is crated as a complete bike. Just attach the clip ons and add oil. Pretty awesome. Its still a mini bike so you will feel cramped but for a mini bike it feels bigger than most! Shifting isn’t bad at all
If you don’t mind but had additional questions. This is the 160 or 190? Any major difference except $$$. Wondering about the max weight for rider? Lol I’m 210lbs.
@@SportbikeUnitedRiderz no worries! Go 190cc! IMO you will be happier and have no trouble keeping up with the ovhale boys at the track. The 190 has an electric starter. I’m not certain about the 160. The 160 will get the job done too. I think prices have gone up but you will get the updated front forks which are adjustable
@@motionsick4973 thanks a ton. 💪👍🫡
❤check out RC bike called losi Moto mx.
Obviously it was a closed road! Hah
I just CRINGE when people twist and let throttles snap shut! It is just wrong lol to let metal parts SLAM for no good reason whatsoever ...rookie move I dont get the fascination guys have doing it running or not....dont do it!
??? Take apart a carburetor slide and realize there is nothing to fear. Valves do this and worse 1000's of times a minute. It will be OK. The fascination is that a properly working throttle cable and intake slide will snap shut. It's worthwhile to test it. Thanks for the comment and watching!
I'm just gonna go ahead n get geethered up ya know leathered out Prep the track im headed your way! stack up the hay! Burn the track i wanna be able to slide when I hit the pavement. Hold on everythings brand new but it's not running to my par clean the carburetor..how many times are you going to spray the air filter man . Mr I'll just replace the motor like you just didn't spend 6k on the bike I would hope you wouldnt have to replace the motor. N next time you do a reveal show the process of opening the bike or package whatever it is your doing and anything with a motor first fire it start it up before your "modifications". You even sated how convenient the electric start was n how it came ready to start . Thanks for ruining the video you mine as well just delete cuz no cares about your beyond rich endeavors in full leathers on a pit bike meant for in between races so the racers don't have to walk in boots
You watched the entire video. You must care a little about my endeavors. Like and subscribe bro!
