Blue Loctite ALL bolts and also make sure you lube the axles and swingarm pivot bolt thoroughly. They're great bikes but you have to go through them completely. Change the oil several times as it wears in properly. Keep an eye on the chain tension regularly. The cheapo china chains tend to wear and "stretch". I'd recommend replacing the chain with an RK chain.
Great suggestions 👍
Do you have to loctite all bolts or can you get away without doing it?
@@xgdubjrx821 its to be safe because the Chinese bolts sometimes easily fall out or snap but its not necessary
@@xgdubjrx821 if you don't put blue loctite on every bolt on a dirt bike, some of them will eventually rattle out.
old school mechanic here two big tips I can give you for these kinds of bikes, firstly, make sure you change out the Jets in the carburetor they're typically tuned really really lean from the factory, and secondly, make sure you change your oil after a couple dozen hours of running for the break-in procedure. also check your valves around that same time to make sure there's nothing loosey-goosey in there.
I appreciate the tips!
@@Kordare any time boss, if you run into any maintenance issues, Motocheez is a good source here on KZhead, he specializes in Chinese motorcycles among other things.
Coming from a mechanic I respect not everyone will give you advice on bikes very much appreciated
Sounds really good...Like perfectly tuned! I'm impressed with the wheel clearance too!
I had one, they’re great bikes but if you plan on doing wheelies, watch out for the rear wheel hub it started cracking so the wheel hub flopped around then the chain popped off because of it and locked up the motor, Besides that it ran super good and the motor was strong
Thanks for the word of caution 👍
How much did it cost
@@juliantrresblomberg7430 1375 shipped
Same happened to my 140 rfz. Chain popped and locked engine
@@Srt_dion19 how does the chain lock the engine?? Mine rear hub exploded from older and cheaper pitbike and nothing locks, chain just running without rear sprocket.
I had the DBX19 which is this size but with a headlight. It was fun and a great bike to learn on. Being brand new I was intimidated to go to a dealership and spend a lot of money on a Japanese name brand. The Apollo was a lot faster than I anticipated. It can go 50 mph and the front wheel will jump up if not careful dumping the clutch. I sold it and got a bigger one now. It’s on the small side for an adult male. Probably perfect size for a teen or a lot of female riders
Agreed but a great bike to learn on
I may end up getting one based off your comment lol! Ever have any issues with it? I’m about to look into them
@@Millerraceway The carburetor sucks so everyone upgrades those.
@@ELIRAXPRT ended up getting a coolster and bought new carb kit
Guys what should I get if I’m noob? I want take some from Amazon around 500-600$ ,just to tide some area in Las Vegas…not “sport” or pro,just for fun , I’m 5.8 and 175 , not sure if x pro 125 is good for me
You were able to get a lot of nice footage riding it around! That was fun to watch. 👍
Thanks for checking it out! Got a new action camera to get some better angles 🤘

@@delover3023 Nope. lol
I got the 150cc version with the 4.9l plastic fuel tank, and the 14" rear wheel and 17 front i think. replaced the carb with a 26mm mukuni. Upgrade the chain, lube the axle bolts... the bike needs going over freqently for head bearing services and wheel bearing replacements. Brakes are easy and fine...parts are abundant and cheap. Change the oil freqently!
Very very important that carb gets plenty of air. Changed to a high volume air filter and what a difference. Make sure air fuel adjustment is dialed in (copper colored on spark plug electrode). You can feel the difference! Also I removed spark arrestor.
Thanks for the tips🤘
Forgot to say. Used the ubiquitous mikuni clone. Vm22. 1 3/4 out on air. Hope this helps.
@@ratdad48 awesome that's the one I bought
@@ratdad48 adjustments will be different due too elevation, also if your doing air/fuel/exhaust spark advancement will really wake it up.
That's great advice. I like to tinker with it. Any videos out there on that. Im stuck on this torque and speed, about 52. Thanks!
Hey thanks for making this video. I want a dirt bike soo bad. Im an excellent tech and have been wanting to get an old 2 stroke that needs the carb rebuilt
I think it's more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
Definitely can be the case!
amazing to see decent upside down forks, suspension ,disc brakes and a great looking and sounding exhaust on a cheapo bike.. If this were out in the time of the XR75, it would have blown people away LOL. .. the only drawback here is the forward angled cylinder... reminds one of the old honda moped motors, though this one seems alot stronger.
Agreed this thing is impressive for the price. I ride it all the time
I want one, even though I had no previous intentions of having a 2-wheeler
😂😂 it's so much fun
send it bro, practice in the dirt, if you fall at lower speeds with a few pieces of gear on, you'll usually be perfectly ok. I've actually crashed off road with buddies and we had a good laugh over it. People really demonize motorcycles as this hyper dangerous transport, but it's really not much worse than a car, you just have to be extra careful and attentive. Good luck buddy.
really 😐, “a 2 wheeler”
@@coleayers790 considering it has 2 wheels, yes
@@M.U.S.H.H. their called motocross or dirt bikes…
I highly suggest aftermarket carb I had one and bogged a good while till I got a new carb that new carb and intake helped a whole lot never had bogging issues and make sure your keeping the bolts tightened up they find to come loose often
I actually bought a new carb at the same time just haven't installed yet since my bike barely ever bogs once it's warm
Loose bolts is a no go for me.. That could get you killed.. A Honda XR150 is like $2k... And I know Hondas.. I've had a 400EX and a Recon 250.. I've got friends that had XR dirtbikes.. Those things are tanks on 2 wheels.. Ain't never heard of anyone having to lock tite on every bolt on those.. I hear this bolt issue all over this channel and all I picture is the front wheel falling off while doing 50 or 60 and face planting.. "I thought I put lock tite on all the bolts" while you're in the hospital with a broken neck.. It will be that 1 bolt you missed.. No thanks... Thing sounds like a death trap..
Check out the SSR 150 for a step up from this. It's got a 5 speed, and a nice sound. It's hard to view a 125 as adult bike but i guess this is the same size as a TTR.
Will do. Yeah it really just sits higher than a lot of other comparable bikes so it works well for an adult
@@coreyd7060 at that price might as well get a used name brand bike
@@BannedModz 900$? Good luck.
@@scumfukk on the page he shows it came out to 1,300 and some change
Great video 🤙🏻 I’m sold on these, mines gonna be here in a week🎉 can’t wait!
🤘🤘
They make descent bikes, but you should pay attention to assembly. From the factory some wheel spokes may be not tight, as well as the bolts and other things. Pro version is much more durable, has alloy wheels, suspension that can be adjusted and handle big jumps. I was lucky enough to get a good test drive before making a choice. 250 hours of abuse and nothing broke besides the oil radiator, and piston rings were replaced as well. Plastic is super soft and does not brake. Rear suspension need a cover because the mud and sand will destroy it quite fast
For the price they aren't to bad but they are made cheap so keep an eye on everything. I bought one for my boy a few years back and we put a bigger front sprocket on it and increased the top end quite a bit as there weren't many hills where he rode. Needless to say it got stolen.
Thank you for posting this! My son an daughter wants one for Christmas an I was very hesitant about it
🙌🙌
How has it held up since?
@@gucciflip-flopzcruz5467 it's been great I ride it all the time. Just gotta watch for bolts loosening up. Good idea to add loctite to them.
Bruh, I can't believe with all the good content you put out, this one brings in soooo many views 🤣 Whatever it takes, glad to see it. Congrats my friend 🤘
Haha I know right...... Working on a bunch of new stuff right now 🤘
The word “CHEAPEST” draw ppl in.
the internet exists to sell things be it distraction and division... or amazon products.
I recently got a 125cc chinese pit bike it's a great bike and i love it.
Ordered one of these bikes from Amazon around a year ago in green. Also ordered the bigger Mikuni carb, an aftermarket air filter, Pro Taper bars, and some other accessories to make it better, but unfortunately, it was so damaged in shipping that I had to deny delivery and had it sent back. Got the $ of the bike back but am stuck with the aftermarket parts.
That's unfortunate mine was in great shape
@@Kordare It looks like it. I had high hopes! The bike itself looked fine but the crate was damaged and the box with all of the accessories had a huge hole in it and the majority of the parts were gone.
gpx
sorry to hear about your order are you gonna order another,,if not wanna sell the parts
@@rayjohnson6356 I refused delivery and got my money back. I don't see myself getting another in the near future.
I had a similar one as my first bike, kayo tt 125 which is actually cheaper, hell of a fun. you can not do lots of stuff compared to full sized dirtbike but if you dont have more money of if you want to play it safe it is a good choice, it is basically a Grom of dirtbikes.
I have the same gloves, they are decent for cut resistance, and they don’t get sweaty after long periods of wearing them like others, 10/10 would recommend.
Enjoyed the video. Seemed like y’all had fun. Always like reading instructions where the translation doesn’t really read in normal English haha
😂😂
Hey just saw this!! We have a mower shop and have been selling these for years. We sell them assembled and tested for what you pay shipped in a crate. We have had really good luck out of them over the years. Nibbi carb makes an amazing upgrade for them. The rfz40 is a 140cc and is a huge upgrade also the z20 is a 125cc and has a much better shock and ride for $100 more. They make a rzf race bike as well in a 150 and 200 free ride. Ty so much for making this video I’ll be showing it to our customers :).
Awesome thanks for the info!
Whats the location of your shop?
@@ederohtokani6418 623 n main Paris, Tx
We've had one for couple years now. Actually two, a 90 and 125. I'm blowed away by them overall for the money. Like others said. New carb and little loctite and it's quite the value. Basically Honda 1990s clone I think. They Feel Very similar
What do you have to loctite? And is it required that you do so or can you get away without it?
You just wanna go over the bike after assembly and add blue loctite to bolts that have no locking features, otherwise they will rattle loose. I've specifically noticed the rear sprocket, exhaust to motor, and kick starter bolts loosening up
Another great video! Thanks!
🙌🙌
Seems like a cool bike, for a Amazon bike, it seems pretty good.
I was pleasantly surprised
Nice video brother. Now I have to explain to my wife in a couple of weeks why there is a big ass crate being delivered to our home.😩🤦🏾♂️🤣
Damn I’m about to grab one of these for that price nice buy man I like this thing so far it’s a nice thing to have some quick fun on.
I've been very pleased with it so far. Ride it all the time 🤘
how much did got it for, with taxes?
@@frwd4371 1375
Cool little bilked for the price. You’ll definitely have loads of funny on it
Loving it so far 🤘
26 mm or higher carby is a good upgrade the stock ones way to small air intake wise
That's what I was thinking 🤘
I actually own one of these literally the same model and i had it for about a year or 2 now and it still runs great.
🤘🤘
is it fast?
@@bigcloutfrom63rd80 a good 50 to 60
Pit bikes are fun. I have a 125 coolster, fun to scoot around on
Check back in about how she fares in the long run. Be curious to see how it holds up after a year or so of riding 1-2x a month.
I can say I've ridden it about 3 times a week for 3 months and I'm still very happy with it
@@Kordare Cool! Getting your $ worth 💪
A buddies broke clutch within 1 week. No joke.
1 to 2 times a month? If I were a kid in that area, it would be 7 days a week. You should have seen rural USA in the 70's. Kids on bikes everywhere, 7 days a week. It was a great time.
@@EarthSurferUSAborn in 1964 with dirt roads and Creeks all around. The first bike I had was a z50a 1972. After that it was CT70 1973, xr-75 1975, CR125 1976. The last two motorcycles I owned were stolen from. 1986 xr250 and then a 1986 CR250. I miss riding, I need another dirt bike!
Put a VM 28 on that thing and wait till you feel the difference in the mid-range. I swapped mine out and it is a whole other animal what's that 28 mm carb.
Can't wait to see what kind of mods your going to do it!
🤘🤘
Badass bro, thanks!
Never seen your channel, but in the first 10 seconds, saw the Z3 in the background. I had a 2000 M Coupe back in the day. Clown shoe car lol. I'll sub to ya just for the memories...
Appreciate it 🤘🤘
Just curious what the seat height is off the ground?
sounds great, looks good
🤘🤘
How do you get parts for this?
I moved to Salton sea recently and I want a dirt bike this looks good for hooning around the líder roads and open desert
I love it so far
Put a Mikuni carburettor on it, as usually these Chinese copies don't have a mixture screw on the carb causing bogging, and depending what kind of energy you're going to put the bike through? I'd definitely change the rear shock, and brake lines.. Otherwise you can't really complain for the dollar spent. Thx for sharing ✌🏼
Appreciate the suggestions 🤘
gonna be dope to put on a turbo on that thing
🤔🤔
You are so lucky to have a dirt bike i have dreamed about getting a dirtbike for ages.I have wanted one since i got into mountain biking but there just to expensive but this bike looks a decent price i might save up for it
Do it!
How’s it running so far? I’m looking into getting into this hobby, but I don’t want to spent a crud ton of money just yet, would love a cheap and easy to get option for my first one, but I also don’t want one that’ll shit itself in the first few months
It's been great. I ride it all the time and has held up nicely. Just gotta watch for some hardware coming loose. So just check those and add some loctite when necessary
What about getting a real bike 💀
@@yungcashregister9657 nawwww
@@yungcashregister9657 am poor, and the markets jacked rn
@@yungcashregister9657alright I lied, I just got a ttr 💀
I wanna get my son one for Christmas this was an awesome video
Do it!! Thanks for watching!
i had one that i 190 swapped it, if you dont abuse them they are great i guess, i welded pretty much everything you can imagine on that thing lol it was atleast 4 sets of rims per season on a pit bike track you get what you pay for, rear suspension was decent on mine the front forks straight up trash, i believe mine was called apollo open 140? something like that, only thing that never broke was the engine they are strong when you run em with quality oil
Daytona 190 or zs190?
@@speedyme200 daytona
I have one very similar and it’s very fun and it breaks away less than you would think
Love it omg loved watching this 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪from Ireland
🤘🤘
I have an old Apollo 125. Bought it barely used for $400 a few years ago. Definitely not as good as name brand but definitely works
Agreed
do you think the TAOTAO DB17 125cc dirt bike is about the same or better?
I have got one but with the big wheels and It is my first bike and is a great beginner bike and it is so much fun
U should upgrade the carb will have better throttle response and front sprocket to a 15 for wheelies
I actually have one, just need to install it
You should motor swap it they have a z's190 or 212cc engine 5 speed electric start and kick that's a direct replacement for it and it will do 75mph on the road it would be just like a ycf or pitster pro 👍✌️👌🏍️🥂💯
Brooooo I might need to do that
@@Kordare its definitely a grown man move would also have way more torque the zs190cc is 18-26HP a common swap to they even use it in motocross and mini gp bikes there lots on KZhead about them it would be like a Honda crf150r to compare it to a name brand but that bikes like 6k awwawawch🤑 it would be sweet.🏍️👍✌️👌💯
My buddy bought a rfz 125 off of some one and 4th gear was gone so he bought a lifan 140cc engine brand new for 500 bucks and it’s quick and plenty of torque to wheelie
Nice🤘
This would be a great beginners bike for me. Awesome video my guy🤙🏽
It's been a perfect bike to learn on for me, thanks!
Getting my kids some bikes this summer and this may be the perfect bike for me to put around on with them. Fantastic!!!
damn my dude looking swoll as fuck! great video though man. I may pick up one of these for the wife, she's been itching to learn
Hahah thanks a lot 🤘 been loving it so far!
i used to have one i just recently sold it, it was fun but after a year it starts to have problems
I like your style
Can you get bigger tires/rims for it ?
Whole lot of dirt bike for the cheap price tag! I needs me one!
Well worth it
These bikes are awesome! And if you get bored of it on the dirt you can get some supermoto wheels/tires for it.
I'm having a lot of fun with it so far 🤘
I'm surprised at how healthy that motor sounds!.. I assume the wheels are 17"/14". I see that some of these bikes come with 19"/16".
I was too! Yes they are 17/14
Fun fact: My certificate of origin I got with my Venom Thunder said it was an Apollo ADR 125 I bet the ADR 125, RFZ 125 and Venom Thunder are all the same bike with mostly just cosmetic changes.
the bike is actually really good FOR its price
19:30 bro that's the most awkward kickstart known to man 😄
😂😂
looks like it is running good.
I'd give my right arm for that bike,your so unbelievably lucky bro good for you
Awesome I just ordered the same one👍
🤘🤘
Be sure to adjust the valves every month or so for the first few
Parts made out of cheese?
Rfz where could u order throttle cable replacement
I don’t know how I stumbled onto this video……..GREAT! Now I ordered one lmao
🤘🤘
Looking to get one for my gf who wants to learn to ride, im definitely excited now i might get one for myself haha
They are fun 🙌
Sounds like running rich, but that makes sense as a default i guess. good vid!
Thanks 🤘
You should put aftermarket stuff on it and see how much better it runs and looks
I will be doing that 🙌

the probably for me, i used to own honda CR250R and well every thing since but a R6 has been boring.
Odd I have have never had any interest in getting a dirt bike but now I want one
This is a great one to start on 🤘
I wonder if you can make a conversion kit for these cheap bikes to convert them into a atc .
Not bad at all !

O yeah and what type of gas does it use?
Regular gas but I only use ethanol free. This wouldn't be a bad bike for a 13 year old
Wow for a thousand bucks you cannot beat that deal and it sounds amazing it just needs a new carb and some tuning.

Is it possible to change the exhaust for one that does not make much noise?
Probably
hi...any chance you could measure the actual seat height of this X18? Thank you
Just measured it's right at 34" at the lowest point on the seat
Be careful they have horrible quality control and the bikes are different ride weights
What did you put for tire pressure. Did you have to tighten spokes..
I went off what the tire said. And yes I did need to tighten the spokes after riding a bit
I was gonna get one but didn’t feel like paying the shipping so I bought a 65 2 stroke instead
does the clutch have to be used to shift? or can you shift without the clutch since it is 4 stroke?
Well yeah you can shift without clutch but it’s stupid to not use it
Is this a small wheel ??
