- Just took a little spin to show some throttle response and speed, nothing too in depth until I can get on some dirt. Seems to be running awesome right now with the 38 pilot, and 140 main on the pe28 carb. Also just thought I'd mention I do have a noco group 5 lithium battery in it now and that was a sick upgrade it cranks way better now. I also have an extra baffle in the exhaust pipe to keep the noise down, so this isn't a good interpretation of what the bike really sounds like, it's much meaner and deeper sounding but I'm trying to keep peace with the neighbors. Any questions or tips please drop them down below I'd love to hear it! thanks for watching
I’m really impressed with mine so far. It wasn’t until after I received the bike that the 200 free ride and Kayo options started showing up in my searches even though they were always available. The engine cc, tire size, adjustable suspension and weight made the purchase a no brainer for me. I do like the idea of that Kayo 250 two stroke though.
The kayo 250 2 stroke is an awesome looking bike, but I only payed about 1500 for this one, the kayo is almost 4 times the price. I'm really enjoying this bike for sure. I looked at the freeride as well, but as a tall guy I liked the wheel size. The weight of this bike is great too, I think it's only about 230lbs or something. I think this is one of the best values available as far as Chinese bikes go. Glad to hear you're liking it!
Can i just bring you mine and you make it work please lol I bought the exact bike cause of ur videos and now I’m adjusting the valves and I don’t even know how to adjust valves 😭😭😂great videos tho man we need more !
You'll get it man! Maybe I'll make a video on valve adjustment, if you need help with it look up videos on valve adjustments on a Honda CRF 230, it has the same motor, and the valves get adjusted the same way. I'll have a top speed video coming soon, an oil change video, and a few more things I want to do this summer. Good luck👊
Hey y'all sorry about the shaky ass video, I'm just using my cell phone and a chest mount lol.
POST MORE!!!!! There’s barely anything on these bikes
Right on! Yeah that's why I'm making these videos. I got a baby coming in a couple days but I'm gonna make as much as I can on this thing. I hope they get more popular so some companies make aftermarket parts! Lol
@@anthonyyoung4978 I’m picking mine up today
@@antsterp6210 nice! If you have any questions about adjusting the valves, tuning or whatever just give me a holler I'll do my best to help. I'm no expert but I've at least gotten my hands on this thing. Lol I'm gonna try to do a top speed run soon too.
@@anthonyyoung4978 Congratulations for your baby!
How much oil this thing take
looks like its still chilly out side up in ohio. im from michigan but have lived down in florida the last 20+ years
Hi Anthony! Thanks for sharing this about the bike. I just got one. Do you know where I can find the user manual and diagrams?
There isn't a real manual for these bikes, they include one with the bike, but it's for a different model, and you'll have to download diagrams for the motor separately, it's a 166fmm cb250d-g motor. The wiring diagrams aren't available either.. but this is the closest thing to a "diagram" I've found on their website.

Still waiting on that speed test video 😉
Awesome!! I’m trying to get one tmmr, how fast is top speed would you say?
I'm gonna film a top speed run soon, but I had it up to like 55-60 and it still had speed left in it. If you get it jetted properly it might go 65 or 70. We will see! Enjoy the bike man make some videos if you can!
@@anthonyyoung4978 Thanks man! ill be waiting on the vid haha
I might be getting one of these. Does it feel like it has enough torque? I would probably just throw on a 28mm Mikuni and call it a day. Im at sea level so should not need to rejet.
Im also looking at the RXF 200 19/16 which I know would be an absolute blast to rip around but if i ever want to take it on any serious trails i think id miss out on the full size wheels.
How much speed would the Mikuni add
@@thehoodticket maybe 5mph but itll run much better stronger throttle response
@@dirtycommtroop Thanks for responding I appriciate it
Hey man im about to purchase this bike. Would you recommend any aftermarket parts for it? Hows the carb? Is it still holding up fine? Im 5'10 weight 165 do you think its a good fit for me? Thanks bro and sick riding
I sold the bike actually. I moved and had another baby so I just didn't have the time to load it in the truck and take it to the woods. I have another couple videos about the carb and valves and stuff. It's a really cool bike I wish I would have kept it honestly. I might get another one in the future. Nibbi carb and jet kit, and I put an after market air filter in it. Lock tight all the bolts once you get it running good. All the typical Chinese bike mods ect. It's definitely fun especially for the price! And yes I think it would fit you just fine. You can just set the sag a little lower if it's too tall but it's adjustable
@anthonyyoung4978 damn that sucks you had to sell it. I know how it is. Got a 11 month old right now. Getting him a power wheel with remote control for his birthday haha. Gotta start em young. I'm going to get the nibbi 28mm carb with the gaskets and filter the all in one kit. The black one. And yeah I'm ordering loctite and all that haha 😄 I hope the nibbi air filter fits. How was the battery for you? Thinking about getting a lithium one but don't know the size
@anthonyyoung4978 after watching your other videos I'm ordering the same air filter you used. Thanks so much for these videos about this bike. Your basically the only one that has them.
@@502austin8 yeah I did end up putting a lithium battery in it was a must the batteries that they come with are pretty useless. And yeah I just did the nibbi 28, and I did a pro filter. I think the air filter was for a crf250. I thought I linked them in the description but I'm not sure. And that's awesome man congrats on your son. I agree gotta start them young. I put a 20v drill battery in my 4 year olds electric quad a while back and it ripped 🤣 but yeah man no worries. I wanted to make more videos about it I loved wrenching on that thing and getting it tuned. They're definitely bikes you have to work on but I think for less than 2 grand for a new bike, it's a deal
@anthonyyoung4978 was the 28mm nibbi a direct replacement and did you notice a difference from stock carb? I've got the nibbi and the filter you used, and the lithium battery you used in my cart just want to make sure it's direct replacement on the carb. Some other guy said he would have to cutt some stuff and it's a pain in the ass.
Anthony is they good bikes too have? I thinking on buying me one? Is there fast…
It depends what you're looking for. It's fast for what it is. I can do about 60-65 on it, it's geared for off road. You gotta adjust the valves, jet the carburator and lock tight bolts all over the bike. The wheels will need trued right away, and It will need a new chain after about 20 or 30 hours. I think if you can find a deal on it it's worth it, but don't pay the $2000+ that some websites and dealers are asking for them. It's a good bike, just requires a lot of initial work to get it dialed it.
@@anthonyyoung4978 ok I appreciate it bro
Just got mine titled.
You planning to turn it into a dual sport?
@@anthonyyoung4978 no I didn’t want to worry about things falling off when I hit the trails. I have to say the suspension on this bike is great for trail riding.
@@miscprojects9662glad to hear it! you ever do anything with the stock carburator?
@@anthonyyoung4978 not yet
Do you know if you can add lights to these without changing anything?
