I installed the Venom carbon fiber muffler (no performance increase), I removed the stock airbox and replaced it with a pod filter, running a little nipple off the boot for crankcase vent, and then got an ECU reflash from GStreet tuning. For a chinese 250cc, it rips. I'm a huge guy (6'3", 250 lbs) and it'll get up to a true 75 and maintain it.
@@SpACeCruizeR2o3 don't go auto. It's anemic down low, and I don't think anyone makes a flash for it. If you know what you're doing with carbs, throw a nibbi on and jet it for your elevation, it may be the fastest. But fuel injection is super nice. I think the 6 speed efi Venom x22r MAX is the way to go.
@jonnybroomhead over the kpx my main thing is i like picking up random chick's late at night and I love the lights on the max too dam it so hard to decide so many good vids on the x22r and the KPX 250cc
I love the bike. Super fun for zipping around town or short distance commuting. I ride it a lot just haven't made videos. The new exhaust is definitely louder, but zero difference in performance.
@@cathyauto depending on your height and weight, it can hold 70-75 mph fairly confidently, and it's very comfortable for a 250cc sport bike. However, it is a bit top heavy, so it blows around in the wind. The longest single ride I have taken on it is 30 miles and it was fine, but I probably wouldn't want to go much further. I am 6'3" and about 240 lbs.
Sorry, I've been busy with my job and haven't been able to upload another video, but I've put 500 miles on it and a couple of small mods. It's running amazing still and gets the looks!
Oh no! I would guess something electrical like fuses, or a ground came loose, or something. Haven't ever heard of any issues like that on these bikes. I now have close to 500 miles on mine (I don't ride a super lot) and still not an issue to speak of.
Thank you for sharing this information. Also awesome 👌 video.
Can you please list the upgrades?? I’ve been begging everyone

how big a difference is the exhaust (if you've added it).
and do you still enjoy the bike? I see you said ur busy with work but would you still recommend it ?

@@jonnybroomhead thanks bro. I think I’m gonna pull the trigger
Any advice on if I wanna drive it from state to state?

Thanks for ur input 🙏🏼 💕 I’m 5’ 8” and 160lbs and I get blown around in the wind going 60 but I’m also a new rider so that may be it too.
Update?

Hey my bike only started once and never started again

@@jonnybroomhead so I reached out to venom they said it could be the petcock not sending fuel but I’m having a hard time locating it
@@SPADESCTV It's fuel injected, it doesn't have a petcock.....It has a fuel pump, and that may be bad.
@@jonnybroomheadlmao😅
