Yep, pretty common with the shifter. My son now 9 had the same issue. It's fine now. It did take a long time, like months for it to become "normal". Even with boots he found it difficult initially.

[@FabienWhite]

Good to see you posting some more content, Johnny!

[@dirtbikemanny]

Needs lighter clutch springs, they sell them with stiff springs, good for heavier rider so it doesn't slip but yes it makes it stiff

Hi, I bought the 125SE today and exactly same issue - even with my biker boots its very hard to shift it for me as an adult : / I really need to try hard and focus, loosing a lot of moment, and hurting my feet. Certainly not well made. Cant imaging my son being able to shift. Rest of the bike is awesome. I was surprised how well it can handle my 86kgs and how powerful it is.

Same problem with the shifter... I found an adjustable lever that is about 2cm longer so now it is easier to upshift.. My daughter is 7 and she was struggling but now it is lot better..She uses boots so the position of the lever was adjusted a little bit higher...this is the only issue we had and we use it on track over a year now and it has about 100hrs...

I think YCF is a French brand, I do not know where the bikes are manufactured, but the design is French

[@jeremycaudron419]

Oui, c’est bien français et fait en France!

[@irishpatriot6796]

Could you ever make a video how to charge the battery for electric start if you could

[@CFPS5931]

Thanks for the video. I have the same issue with the shifter, any recommendation for solving it ?

[@T.T.K-il2hn]

Price?

[@irishpatriot6796]

Hi my kid has this bike nw Christmas before last the gear shifter was so hard to shift I pulled gear shifter out a lil bit made it easier to shift, I see everybody taking out silencer in back exhaust is this better healthy for pitbike

[@lornography1979]

I think your bike just needed working in i just bought one and i can shift with my flip flops?

[@danrowe69]

40hrs in no better with the shifting. Had to do the same with my kids, whack them in 4th and let them go.

[@Johnnysshop]

Oh man that’s a bummer. She hasn’t ridden it too much but at least now I know!

[@SylvainNawrocki]

YCF is French.....and not Chinese

[@SylvainNawrocki]

YCF est français et pas chinois !!!!
