[@oneanddonetzone3673]

I am the proud owner of a Templar X some caveats: licensing make sure that when you get your MCO that it says motorcycle not off-road dirtbike this has been a constant struggle to get mine licensed. Insurance they would only do liability on the Chinese motorcycle. Nibbi carburetor put this on before you even start the motor cycle buy good American made stainless steel hose clamps and fuel line put your fuel line on the carburetor before you ever attempt to mount it it will save you a ton of time because the space is tight. Nibi makes an ignition I would swap out the original and use a NGK iridium spark plug chances are you’ll never ever have to change it. If you plan on changing your sprocket once again do this before you even start the bike I would recommend a high-quality chain with a rivet master link. As stated in the video Loctite Loctite Loctite. Drain the oil high-quality synthetic. Take your time break in the motorcycle engine slowly. Remember your tempering the steel. Just some suggestions.

[@Beckswelll]

How do you make sure the MCO isn’t only Offroad use?

[@oneanddonetzone3673]

@@Beckswelll when you purchase it make sure that you tell them to type in motorcycle. I had to re-contact and they re-issued one that said motorcycle. The one thing you need to worry about is the EPA rating. My state would not license my motorcycle because the EPA said for off-road use which means it has a spark arrestor in the muffler. It’s not gonna make any more CO2 on the road or off road that’s how stupid these people are. Good luck!

[@oneanddonetzone3673]

@@Beckswelll have whoever you buy it from type motorcycle on your MCO not off-road vehicle. You also need to make sure that your state will license it mine would not because the EPA sticker approved for off road which only means that it has a spark arrestor there’s no difference in the CO2 or the emissions. But that’s how stupid it gets. Remember you’re dealing with government

don't do the Nibbi 28, use a 30. if I'm not mistaken that is what's stock on it now. The 30 was stock on mine.

[@darkowlmoto]

Yea I was planning on doing the 28 since it would be a direct swap without having to upgrade the intake manifold. My goal is just better jetting and an open intake. With a cone filter.

Great video. Trying to decide which bike is best for me. What's 6 ft 1 250 lb going to be like on this bike? Also I'm in Kentucky I think they come from California? Thanks in advance.

@@harrycash8713 you should be good! These bikes are fairly tall and can be adjusted a little bit as well. However I think the seat may be slightly uncomfortable but that’s just me.

[@georgeperkins4171]

Im holding off of the changes. Im re jetting the stock carb. I can change it later if im dissatisfied. Ill deal with chains and sprocket later. What i want to see is a catalytic converter removal video. Cant find one

[@darkowlmoto]

I don’t believe these bikes have a catalytic converter. The large portion of the exhaust on the side is a baffled chamber to help with toning down or dampening the sound. Only emissions like system is the charcoal canister evap style system on these. Which isn’t much.

[@mdemartile]

How do those steel rims hokd up? I have two Roketa quads from the early 2000's, both still run with little to no issues each year. Like the rest of us, grew up riding Japanese bikes and love them still, but seriously looking at this or one like it for dual sport, trails in Boise, ID. That price is hard to beat.

[@darkowlmoto]

No issues at all with the rims! Been almost a year haven’t had any issues.

[@rider65]

Key going to the 12 tooth front cog! More torque and pull in the woods...

[@starlightwolves1525]

Yep same experience. Ordered from powersports which is located in cali and have received both my titan and my qaud raptor clone within a week here in AZ. Pro tip: when ordering from powersports max just use the toll free phone number to order (you’ll talk to an actual person) their account creator is junk, but keep in mind you won’t be able to track your order and the only reach out is an emailed order confirmation. I ordered in November of 2023 and received a 2022 titan and the quad I ordered at the beginning of 2024 was a 2023. Both vehicles have exceeded my expectations. Buy now before they realize they are undervalued by at least $500-1000. 2 more things I’ve noticed on powersports at least, stock is running low as the titan DLX model(street legal) is no longer listed but the “dirt” version is, which means the newer model years will probably be restocked. The other thing is X-pro is remarkably in tune with its customer base as every new model year seems to improve in design and components from the previous model’s shortcomings, which is awesome but I fear price creep will be inevitable.

[@los1274]

Your model has KTM plastics. Mine has Suzuki RMZ plastics. Awesome bikes, they are better than any others they have put on in the past.

It's a great bike for money but can't give a 10 outta 10. Guys are getting carried away with thes bikes.

Great bike to ride around town but if you plan on riding everybody who have a KTMs yamaha's or any other Japanese bike you're not keeping up

[@darkowlmoto]

I personally give a 10 out of 10. For those who know what clones are know that youd be comparing apples to oranges. Yes it's a bike with two wheels and an engine but all clones are underpowered and have a low top speed. For the price you get a lot. Clones are great for the price and a ton of fun. Cheap enough that my buddies have clones just to mess around on. And then we have our big boy bikes. I had my geom clone and then my triumph 1050 speed triple for the big boy riding. Also make great learner bikes. From learning how to work on them and ride them. So personally I give a 10 out of 10. If you don't know anything about clones and go in with thinking you're buying a powerful cheap bike of course your expectations are going to be shattered. And I could see how that can upset some people.

[@Beastykato]

What are you talking about? A crf250f makes 20.1hp according to dirt rider. And this bike is rated at 19hp. Both are 250cc air cooled engines. What planet do you live on that they don’t make as much power as the Japanese brands? Or are you trying to compare a $10,000 liquid cooled race bike to this air cooled engine lol 😂 This bike maybe $2,000 delivered to your door and a crf250f is $5300 retail. You could buy two of these with riding gear for the same price. And they have superior suspension set ups to the Japanese trail bikes they compete against. AND street legal to boot.
