I liked this video, That shipping oil remark kind of threw me off... I would never run the bike with the shipping oil.. you are the first person I have ever heard say that... Im glad you at least told people to confirm the level of their oil because these are infamous for shipping with JUST ENOUGH oil to keep the clutch lubed. Now, say somebodys bike comes and its a low oil scenario... what kind of oil would they put in? That shipping oil is exactly that. Shipping oil. It is not break in oil. Im glad you were able to get away with that. Everything else was fantastic.
dont use the shipping oil at all take it out right away , even the manufacturer has in the manual to remove shipping oil and replace before ever installing the battery
@@chriscortez4511 right right. It was a weird thing to hear in an otherwise great video. That stuff is junk and to my knowledge it is literally only there to keep the pads on the clutch plates lubricated so they don’t dry out.
I forgot to mention the gas tank. The rubber grommet they put in was not put in correctly where the bolts goes in. You need to put the grommet in properly to prevent metal to metal contact so it doesn't leak.
@@MrTakeone51 No, all the components are there. they just didn't slip the rubber rings into the hole in the two blots on the gas tank. it's the two bolts towards the raider. if you take out the farlings you'll see what I mean.
Check the description links, I added everything you asked for. Sadly Amazon stopped selling the exhaust system I used. I did add a link to the exhaust wrap since you'll have to wrap it if it touches any part of the bike. I don't really have time to do research for replacement parts that will work on your exhaust. My advice is to do research and order your own. Put it on right away, and if it doesn't fit, you'll have time to return it. I also forgot to explain in this video that you need to lube the clutch cable, if you don't the clutch will become so hard you can't shift.
@@caposolomon8745 Thanks man yeah i replaced my clutch cable with a honda grom cable. my orginal one broke. i ordered a new nibbi carb for it. just gotta get the exshaust fixed now.
26 mm, would give you the best performance, but you absolutely have to replace the exhaust. I'll link you to the carb I use below. NIBBI Carburetor PE26 ,fit... www.amazon.com/dp/B09W1YRHTC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Does it matter what exhaust I get? I see a lot of people online that have to modify the ones they buy online because they won’t naturally fit. Are there any good exhausts that fit these bikes perfectly?
@@PCgohard The link to the one I use is below. There are two links, you'll have to buy both. The sound is amazing, don't worry. This one you don't have to modify it, but it will touch the frame. So, what you have to do is put exhaust wrap on it. You do not want something as hot as the exhaust touching the frame or it could lead to problems, hence why people bend it. The wrap fix this problem. I only wrap the part that are touching since wrap will hold water if it rain and rust the exhaust. I store my bike inside (which you should as well, since it's easy to steal), but if it does get wet make sure you run the bike until the wrap is dry. Also check out my other videos on my channel, you will see how I wrap the exhaust. Also don't forget lock tight. You'll also have to go buy nuts and blots at lows.

Hey I'm lukis and I have the same bike and the same color as yours and my bike makes a wire sound do you think it's the motor mount or what you may think I wish you could hear it for me
Please take a video and post it to youtube. Link it to me in the comment. Please also explain what make the sound happen. Also tell me how long you had the bike for. I would check the two mount bolt to make sure it's not snap. Also explain when the sound start happening and what you did right before the sound happen.
@@caposolomon8745Sometimes when I ride the motorcycle I am in third gear and it goes into neutral when I am going to put it in second gear, this makes me in a bad mood.
Why spend 5k on a grom when you can spend less than 2k on this bike plus parts needed to make it as reliable as the grom. Math ain’t mathing there buddy
That is what I said in the beginning of the video. This is a finish product and I am not going to take things apart to put it back on again just for a video. This video is to go over things briefly so you'll know what to replace/ mod to make this bike safe. I do make other videos that go into greater detail on how to do the mod. Do you need help with anything in particular or do you need a walkthrough on anything particular?
@@caposolomon8745 I know this was a while ago, but I actually appreciate this format a lot more because I already am familiar with most of these mods and just wanted a complete rundown with a little visual context
I would never run with shipping oil. If you drain the oil from the beginning, you'll see why. All the shavings that come out with shipping oil can ruin the engine. It's always better to start fresh.
@@ernestoholguinjr.7303 wrong and dumb? You should replace the factory Chinese chains because the quality is not that good. There are a lot of reports of these chains breaking mid-ride.

Great vid 🦾
pro taper or even the knockoff pit bike bars are actually a great upgrade in case you drop it, the stock handles will fold on you
yep, hence don't drop it lol. But those handle bars are way more comfortable. I am just too poor to get them right now.
Thanks for all the info

Why do you have to replace the exhaust with the carburetor?
@@stevenklenert633 because you are going to have a lot of air flow coming in but horrible air flow going out. This will limit the carburetor
