Buying A Tao Tao 125cc Pit Bike (Things to know)

[@joshwaltonbaugh2212]

Mine came in a box truck but I live in the middle of a college town

[@ridinnwrenchin]

I have been looking at this bike for a little while and you helped me very much on my decision thank you

[@usayoungnostradom3534]

I wonder if they have tires that are anti puncture or puncture resistance for dirt bikes also thanks for the video you saved me some trouble

[@mikemedeiros5458]

What happens if you needs parts like a tire or tube or brake pads or something? There are a few places near me that sell these brand new all put together but idk I they sell parts

[@a-rush9500]

I would ask them if they sell parts or if they know where you can get the parts you need. But there is always places online you can buy parts from.

[@haydenplummer4415]

Most of the SSR 125 pit bike parts will fit it and for upgrades some of the crf 50 parts will fit handlebars etc.

[@haydenplummer4415]

And for tires tubes you can use any tube or tire that will fit the rim and the bike is a copy of the Orion 125 pit bike so you can use Orino parts to

[@themotochannelu.k5098]

Just about every pitbike part fits most model mate

[@jonathanbaker42]

I'm looking forward to buying mine from the dealership in Canada Nova Scotia

[@tannercallahan9321]

Can you do a video on switching out tires ?

[@4200cg]

Mine came with a small spring in the bag where does that go

[@rblittle0566]

4200cg it goes on your foot brake

[@rblittle0566]

4200cg you don’t need it but it keeps it from locking up and your tires sliding when you brake

[@bossmann7018]

It’s for the stand or foot break

[@madmike731]

😂 I went on a mini rideout and took my 125 without checking my tires psi and 2 minutes in i was pulling over swerving rear and watching the whole pack pass me 😭

[@WIDERisBETTER]

What should the correct psi be for the tires? Mine came in with 12 on the back and 11 on the front. I filled them to about 34 each. She doesn't say in the video what to fill them to.

[@madmike731]

@@WIDERisBETTER max psi should show on tire wall 34 is too much i think

[@bebo7900]

Awe I feel bad lol

[@readylucas]

what's the difference between a pit bike and a dirt bike

[@a-rush9500]

here's an answer in detail www.ehow.com/list_6801774_differences-pit-bike-dirt-bike.html but the short version is they are made with a shorter frame and smaller tires

[@redfirefox1524]

Can this bike fit a 5ft person

[@CBR600_Dad]

RedFireFox 1 yes

[@kyle-xo9ip]

125cc is a 5'7 bike

[@Twizz2turnt518]

yes

[@youngcharofficial8875]

Please do a vid of u putting coolant in I'm getting this bike and I can't see a radiator !!!!

[@a-rush9500]

I'm pretty certain these bikes are air cooled

[@youngcharofficial8875]

a- Rush Ight bet that's what I was thinking

[@1DayEnt]

a- Rush which is better ssr or tao tao. n u said u got yours in 3days in Tennessee, i live in michigan where powersportdistro is located i hope when i oder mines i hope it come in 3days

[@jim1234564]

A tao tao is in my opinion more durable and also much bigger than an ssr of the same cc rating. I'd suggest a tao tao if you think you're not one to like to fix your bike more often. An ssr is also cheaper though.

[@justinhernn]

What kinda battery is in yours? I won this bike at the fair, and they gave me a battery to big, I don't understand why that would be!

[@a-rush9500]

My pit bike doesn't have a battery. If yours is identical to mine then it shouldn't need one.

[@nathanthemlggangster9093]

This video really helped me out a lot thanks

[@Lumlums]

Why not the ssr 125? Was it just your preference or price or something else?

[@a-rush9500]

It was the price, size and the over all look. I was going to get an ssr but it seemed like every couple of months the price was going up with no real performance increases, so I decided to research other pit bikes and found the taotao. This specific TaoTao is also made a little bit bigger, it has bigger tires. And lastly even though I bought a cheap bike I didn't necessarily want it to look like that way and to me the ssr just looks kinda cheap. If you compare the 2 in my opinion the tao just has a better look, and I'm a big fan of how everything is blacked out. I can't compare the 2 on performance because I don't have an ssr, but I know that I'm happy with what I bought. It's really up to the buyer some people really love the ssr brand and that's totally cool, everybody has different preferences.

[@wendysfast-food2016]

Did yours come pre assembled or no because the website I got mine from it came pre assembled

[@jacesgarage658]

got one for 200 all it needed was a carb front master cylinder and rear tire

[@ryanrodgers7972]

/OVERDRIVE\ does it have that stuff with it

[@arberfilms2302]

Ryan Rodgers yes however the stock carbs usually destroy themselves so I recommend a mikuni carb for this type of bike.

[@culcune]

Pretty much NO Chinese bike comes with an assembly manual, and all seem to come with those disposable tools, LOL. You seem fairly knowledgeable about this bike in the short time you have owned it. You should join us on chinariders.net which is a forum group that discusses all bikes from China. Mostly full-size enduro owners as members, but a few ATV, pitbike, etc. Best of all, it's FREE lol. I am known as 'culcune' there as well...

[@a-rush9500]

I might do that actually just in case I encounter some problems, it might be a good place to get some help. Thanks for letting me know about it.

[@themotochannelu.k5098]

yeah think i might check that out aswell, thanks !

[@last2hearthenews2know58]

a- Rush Hey I just got the same bike a week ago. Your videos are cool . Thanks for your videos. My 1st bike ;:) Forva great price. A - Rush thanks cause I DON'T know how to ride.

[@MicahBraunlich]

How much did u pay for yours?

[@melissat922]

What would you say is the ideal tyre pressure for this size tyre (17/14) on a pit bike?

[@madmike731]

It'll tell you the max pressure on the tire itself. I would go 3-5 psi under max psi. If you want to wheelie you could take 5-7 psi outta the rear.

[@nhanle3862]

can u give me a link to where u got this bike

[@thatrandomguy8567]

This video was well put together thank you

[@trentburton3948]

[@a-rush9500]

Yes it is a manual

[@michaelkuzmadutton7879]

Trent Burton yes sir.

[@rogeliosotelo2348]

how much did you pay for yours?? i payed 900 all ready assebled

[@a-rush9500]

I paid $768

[@rogeliosotelo2348]

+a- Rush i guess its not that bad!! but i could have done it my self!!! you put it together by your self??

[@a-rush9500]

Mostly I had some help when it came to the heavy lifting though

[@jelynhaygood6103]

i paid $650 for my pitbike for my son dallas tx

[@isrides38]

What if you buy your bike at the shop and they assemble it

[@franklinhero]

then..yay

[@diegorangel9454]

What is lift gate

[@a-rush9500]

Liftgate is a large platform on the back of a delivery truck that the drivers use to lower extremely heavy products to the ground.

[@a-rush9500]

Well the shipment will be about 250lb. Without liftgate you would probably need access to a forklift. Unless you can get 3 or 4 strong guys to help unload it. Getting liftgate service is way easier and safer, though.

[@airmanfpv964]

wait, so a pickup truck will come to my house to deliver it?

[@a-rush9500]

It will be delivered to your house but not in a pickup truck. In a larger delivery truck, in my case I used a dealer that sent a semi truck. I showed a picture of the truck in the video.

[@airmanfpv964]

+a- Rush oh did it cause any problems

[@a-rush9500]

Luckily no. Our road is not really equipped for an 18 wheeler so it was a bit tricky. However the driver was really nice and we actually had him turn around in our field so he could get out the easiest way possible. Once we knew the type of truck coming we made a plan to make it as easy as possible for the delivery driver.

[@airmanfpv964]

Ohhhh ok thank you

[@cameronhopper2005]
