If you see this comment say Hi! Even though this is one of my older videos, it gets the most views! Absolutely insane. If you're reading this keep reading. I STILL ride this on the daily and it still runs! I did put an aftermarket carb on it so i could tune it. Comment down below why you are watching this video, and ask any questions you may have about the bike! Have a good day/night, and stay safe out there!
@@rebekahbonine it has a right brake pedal near the right side foot rest, and a front brake lever on the throttle, it's an automatic so it doesn't have the clutch lever on the left hand side
I’m thinking about grabbing one this week bro! You like it 2 months in? Anything wrong with it? Did you have to put in oil when it came in? If so, what kind of oil? Thanks dude
I'm enjoying it, I just got done replacing the Carburetor because it was driving me nuts that I couldn't tune the stock one. The oil it takes is 15w-40, yes I would recommend putting oil in it, I checked my dip stick when I got it and it didn't really have much oil in it. 91 octane fuel if you think she deserves it (highly recommended though) if you have any more questions about this bike in particular feel free to comment your questions any time, but for GY6 specific things i have a playlist full of videos by professionals that are way more qualified than me
@@lilllilii If I sat at a stop for too long, then went to take off, it would die. It wasn't a problem i was having when the weather was warmer. It got cold and it began running differently because of the air density, I may have been able to change out the main jet in the old carb, I just wanted to be able to cover all of my bases. I'm pretty sure I paid less than $30 for it on Amazon, and it came with an air intake, a spark plug, and gaskets. Parts for these GY6 50's are crazy cheap
Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I've got a new carb and intake coming in along with the parts for the EGR delete so I'm looking forward to finally be able to tune this thing. I got it from Venommotorsportsusa.com if you want to check it out, they have a lot of other stuff too.

Yo so you ordered it from the online store right?? Thank goodness bro I thought it wasn’t legit but I will definitely get a bike from them, I like how they look like so this will definitely be my first motorcycle/scooter, so you said it took a week to get to your house? Did it come in like a delivery truck?
@@Gamer-guy69 yeah the store is legit, as long as you are referring to Venommotorsportsusa.com / Venommotorsportscanada.com. Solid bike btw. It is free residential shipping, and it comes in a semi truck
I’m looking to order one myself here soon. When you ordered yours from venom did you select full assembly or no? I see they have a full assembly option but it’s like a $300 add on to the total. Shopping cart said it would be about 2200 total
It arrived exactly 1 week from the day I bought It, I did not get full assembly, I only had to attach handle bars, mirrors, front turn signals, and hook up the battery. If you do end up getting one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. It's a little bigger than you think it might be (a good thing in my opinion) the website doesn't do it any justice
@@Jsimp1231 the installation process is super easy, if you have any troubles feel free to leave a comment on one of my videos, or hit me up on my Discord (link should be on my community page) I'd be happy to help
@@Billy_The_Kid- thanks bro I have the x18r 200cc and the headlights stock are not bright at all I believe there H6 12V 30w I think I’m gonna go LED 12v 18w
Well dang, my actual scooter goes faster! 😂 Thanks for sharing because I’m your same size and I at least want to go 55 mph and now I know. I also have 🐈⬛ 🐈 😅
If you have the same bike, I'm sure you've noticed how cramped the area around the intake is. If you go aftermarket I would recommend some tubing for an extension so the air filter isn't crammed under the suspension. I'm going to route mine all the way to inside of that empty space in the body on those two inner frame bars
Hey I plan on doing another video on my bike soon, and I was wondering, what are your thoughts on the bike you bought? With your permission I would like to add your thoughts on your bike in my video
I live in vegas so I don’t have to go dmv. can I just ride it without a plate or anything? if not where can I get a plate for it or how does it all work? Sorry I plan to buy one for spring time for work
I looked it up, you have to do a one time registration, I didn't see anything about requiring a plate though. When you go get it registered at the DMV I would ask there, if you do get one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine

I just bought me the 2023 Dong-Fang x18 beautiful Scotter !
Have you gotten it yet!? 😮
But it takes back and front braking yes, like a motorcycle would have? So that would be like a more traditional bike?
@@rebekahbonine it has a right brake pedal near the right side foot rest, and a front brake lever on the throttle, it's an automatic so it doesn't have the clutch lever on the left hand side
Do a Big bore kit it's worth it
So if it’s a scooter then it shouldn’t be a issue with with cops right or registration or did u have to register yours
I didn't have to register mine, but your state may be different, I honestly have no idea

@@Billy_The_Kid- thank you bro 🙏🏻 but was the carborator replacement a necessity? Or you just wanted to tune it

@j-money212 the maintenance is pretty easy of you're looking to do it yourself
lol the cat.
How much oil does it take after a oil change
.8 of a Liter, the manual says
What LED headlights do you recommend the stock ones are dull and hazy
No idea, I still have the stock ones. Mike Check Moto has a parts list on his build, might have different bulbs @Mikecheckmoto

@@SosaLyfe24 to this day I'm still tickled about its size, I was worried it wouldn't be much bigger than a pocket rocket

I know my response is a tad late. But venommotorsportsusa.com sells a 200cc version called the Venom X18R
Looking to swap one how big is the undercarriage
I don't know the specific dimensions, but they slap a 250cc under the same model so you shouldn't have issues with space as long as it's a GY6

Hey checking in on your main comment, how did that go? I plan on doing a video on my bike soon, and I would love to add your input in the video
Cool bike
Can it be bought in the UK?
I am unsure
