I've only just found your channel 1hr later I can rebuild my 125lol keep it up bro from down under

[@TynkaTyme]

Love that! I’ve started a rebuild on an original 1970’s Honda I’m doing a video on, which the China 125’s are built after. Once i tear my 125 down again I’ll be sure to do a full rebuild video! Thanks for the sub!! Safe riding!

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

Thanks bro

[@Inertia2702]

[@robertreavis6375]

Hey brother. I have 2 Apollo bikes...where did you get the transmissions from...so hard to find.very frustrating...would love some help...BTW enjoy your videos..happy subscriber here😊

[@andrewhogg6515]

I had that problem but now my kickstarter is getting stuck and won't kick over any idea what's stopping it

[@evilcanevil6273]

Howd you take apart the engine to get to the trans lol can not figure it out

[@jamesrothwell8508]

This man needs more subs

[@TynkaTyme]

My man! That’s what I’m saying 🙄🤣

[@altin0220]

hey i got a question why vis mine shifter stuck i tried to open the right side to check remove everything but the little wheel that used to turn to shift is stuck, you need force to get it on gear.

[@alekmichaelsmith6977]

I cant find gears for a 250cc anywhere, are these all the same?

[@MistyWoodard-o5c]

Dude i cant find videos on a 2017adr 125 shifter fork and im tryna see if it is messed up-my son gabe

[@austinrobinson697]

How did you contact them I got the same bike and one day my friend crashed and lost the gas cap and I’ve never been able to get ahold of them

[@TynkaTyme]

Send them a warranty request on their website and they’ll email you back

[@dodgethefatherramthedaught4652]

is this a 54mm bore motor or the 52.4mm?

[@JeroneNewman]

Hell ya man think u known what you are doing

[@Gamer_plays_]

How do you know if your gears are bad

[@Ckwoodcreations]

Will this gear set fit in a coolster speed max has a 125 qiye engine looks identical to that motor

[@logansportpilotrp8174]

What other plastic fuel tanks will fit this apollo?i thought a ttr 110 might...? i just dont feel like paying 100 bucks for the one by apollo...any suggestions?

[@Nine6teen]

Do all these have a weak first gear?

[@pbemusicgroup]

Whassup Tynka. Purchased Apollo about 3 weeks ago, Thanks for info on swapping carb. My son was riding the bike yesterday and suddenly, the bike stopped shifting. Its stuck in 1st gear. Shifter wont move AT ALL. Clutch engages and disengages but shifter wont budge. AT ALL! Any suggestions? Im a diy'er myself however, i dont know where to start.

[@TynkaTyme]

pbemusicgroup I’ve had mine somewhat do what you’re saying. Pull your clutch cover off, your clutch, and big gear. Try shifting it and watch the levers inside the engine. I’d bet one is jammed up somewhere

[@pbemusicgroup]

@@TynkaTyme Whassup Tynka, Im about to take off the clutch cover. Wish me luck. The gear shifter however wont budge at all so I cant shift to see if anything is getting jammed up. Anything i should be looking for?

[@TynkaTyme]

pbemusicgroup check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqzdHmmp8uqbJI

[@luismelendez935]

Great video man! I have one and doesn’t want to go in 2nd at all! Do you think would be the actual transmission or the clutch??

[@huntershaffer2080]

Did u ever figure out your problem?

[@AaronsEnduro]

the superview on the gopro makes its hard to look at all the finer details of parts your showcasing

[@TynkaTyme]

Aaron Greenway thanks for the feedback man. I’ll try it on a different setting to see if it helps.

[@AaronsEnduro]

The wide angle should still showcase everything you need without a major fish eye effect

[@AaronsEnduro]

Great info otherwise

[@TynkaTyme]

Aaron Greenway sweet I’ll try that

[@bigchunk9175]

Do you think these gears will fit inside my 125 coolster pit bike?

[@yellowsubie28]

Is it easy to replace just the output shaft

[@b.powelljr1110]

I know it’s an old video but where did you get your gasket kit

[@hellobr0oo751]

[@kyngfrazier4054]

Bro I have a Apollo bike 125cc it’s stall out when I put it in first gear I tried everything

[@davidmoore824]

Hey man I'm having the same problem thank u

[@grandall1711]

Nice job.

[@JaredVal13]

Do you think when jumping pulling the clutch in would help put less stress on the trans when you land?

[@TynkaTyme]

Jared Valente i never do, I’m always on the gas as soon as i hit the ground, so don’t have time to worry about pulling the clutch in unless im brake tapping to control the bike in the air.

[@ron6580]

Where did you get you’re gasket kit from?

[@gmodesike]

we're you shifting really hard to cause the teeth to break?

[@TynkaTyme]

gmodesike wasn’t shifting hard, just the impact of hitting the ground probably put too much tension on the chain to the output shaft and cause the teeth to break internally

[@gmodesike]

@@TynkaTyme oh wow..ok thank you

[@rippindippin4261]

Great job

[@aldenmolina2054]

Where you live ? Do you work on others people bikes?

[@dirtrider6090]

Hey do you know where I can find the detent(the arm that shifts on the shift drum)

[@TynkaTyme]

Never tried to look for one, i would start with vmcchineseparts.com , tboltusa.com or apollo themselves. It’s called a shift drum stopper

[@almostoemgarage8143]

@@TynkaTyme glad someone else has rebuilt one of these transmissions. Finding parts is such a pain with these china bikes. I found 3 sets of "YX" engine transmissions and all 3 had different diameters or lengths 🤣 I modified one I had to work, until a gnarly downshift took out a few teeth!

How do you know if your gears are bad?

[@gustavoramirez9710]

my apollo bike is having troubles with the clutch i think it starts up and when ever i shift to first the bike wants to take off without me releasing the clutch

[@TynkaTyme]

Gustavo Ramirez have you tried adjusting it at the lever? If that don’t work, there’s a cable adjustment about 3/4 of the way down on the cable.

[@gustavoramirez9710]

Tynka Tyme i have adjusted the one on the bars the one ur saying and the one with the 10 mm bolt and it shifts now but it still goes without releasing the clutch

[@TynkaTyme]

Gustavo Ramirez clutches aren’t very much, it would be worth just replacing the clutch and that would probably fix your issue

[@gustavoramirez9710]

Tynka Tyme any idea where i could get the clutch for my bike

[@TynkaTyme]

Gustavo Ramirez eBay, Amazon, or vmcchineseparts.com

[@Grimz32]

Is this similar to a 50 cc pit bike ?

@@TynkaTyme how was the wait time on delivery?

[@TynkaTyme]

emmanuel singleterry i got the bike in a week and a half after placing my order. This was before the whole corona virus really kicked off though.

[@LATization1]

True..I've been reading a good amount of mixed reviews that are kind of recent and most of the negative ones are the delivery time being kind of long or not really getting good customer service even from sites that have had better reviews in the past. I'm assuming a lot of those issues stem from the covid deal and most likely losing employees and also only being able to have a small amount of employees withing a area

[@kevinkev1530]

Thx

[@sendinit6413]

Good video. And I also like that the music is tolerable. The new age of video creators put the absolute worst background sound that makes me want to switch back to netflix after sticking ice picks in my ears. I compare their background.music to dubstep without the bass (absolutely dreadful) or kpop without the gay guys

There’s guys like you in the world, and guys like me. I like to spend the 40 dollars and learn everything thing about the internals of my engine while I’m in there. So a learning experience plus saving 240 dollars? Sounds like a win/win to me
