❤❤❤. The first thing that blew out on me was my dipstick. Actually before even anything else, I should say the seller sold me a “Honda Grom Clone” only to find out as I was trying to fix it that it was a Boom Vader. I still have reason to believe it is a Venom X20, but regardless, all of these models run 125cc and have a shitty pz22 carbs. And yes, the bolts on those pz22’s will shear off. I had my carb blow out on me on the highway, weeks after getting my bike. I am looking to get me a VM 32 Carb and will probably switch over to a pod filter like the one you got there. Though in my area I have to worry about dirt, I may not do that until I move to San Diego. Maybe. 😂 Good video though, love the new exhaust!❤

I liked this video, That shipping oil remark kind of threw me off... I would never run the bike with the shipping oil.. you are the first person I have ever heard say that... Im glad you at least told people to confirm the level of their oil because these are infamous for shipping with JUST ENOUGH oil to keep the clutch lubed. Now, say somebodys bike comes and its a low oil scenario... what kind of oil would they put in? That shipping oil is exactly that. Shipping oil. It is not break in oil. Im glad you were able to get away with that. Everything else was fantastic.

[@chriscortez4511]

dont use the shipping oil at all take it out right away , even the manufacturer has in the manual to remove shipping oil and replace before ever installing the battery

[@_BlueCollarGamer]

@@chriscortez4511 right right. It was a weird thing to hear in an otherwise great video. That stuff is junk and to my knowledge it is literally only there to keep the pads on the clutch plates lubricated so they don’t dry out.

Hey man i have a boom vader im working on. can you drop me a link for a carburetor upgrade an a exhaust pretty please

[@caposolomon8745]

Check the description links, I added everything you asked for. Sadly Amazon stopped selling the exhaust system I used. I did add a link to the exhaust wrap since you'll have to wrap it if it touches any part of the bike. I don't really have time to do research for replacement parts that will work on your exhaust. My advice is to do research and order your own. Put it on right away, and if it doesn't fit, you'll have time to return it. I also forgot to explain in this video that you need to lube the clutch cable, if you don't the clutch will become so hard you can't shift.

Does it matter what exhaust I get? I see a lot of people online that have to modify the ones they buy online because they won’t naturally fit. Are there any good exhausts that fit these bikes perfectly?

[@caposolomon8745]

@@PCgohard The link to the one I use is below. There are two links, you'll have to buy both. The sound is amazing, don't worry. This one you don't have to modify it, but it will touch the frame. So, what you have to do is put exhaust wrap on it. You do not want something as hot as the exhaust touching the frame or it could lead to problems, hence why people bend it. The wrap fix this problem. I only wrap the part that are touching since wrap will hold water if it rain and rust the exhaust. I store my bike inside (which you should as well, since it's easy to steal), but if it does get wet make sure you run the bike until the wrap is dry. Also check out my other videos on my channel, you will see how I wrap the exhaust. Also don't forget lock tight. You'll also have to go buy nuts and blots at lows.
