Honda DAX | Ice Bear Clone 125cc | Final SETUP and 1st RIP | Amigo DIAX CT70 Trail

[@okierider]

I went to Arlington TX a couple weeks ago and sat on a black one. I was surprised at how much I liked it. But after seeing your green champion. You definitely have the best color of the icebears. I'm looking forward to getting mine. I ride a magician currently.

[@Jeep-Creep]

Yeah I loved the green first time I saw it very retro color for sure. I grew up with a Honda ct70 probably an early 70’s model which was a dark orange color. I had a lot of great memories riding it as a kid. It’s nice to have a new retro looking bike that is new and very affordable and durable. A Magician 250cc dual sport? Cool bike! I used to own a ‘75 Honda XL 250cc enduro. Very fun bike for sure! I’ve had a few bikes I’ve owned over the years, sometimes fix up and make a few bucks to buy more expensive bikes. I’ve been looking a lot lately at Adventure class bikes too. So many great ones out there. Hard to just own a couple lol I love to ride just about anything.

[@pulsartech2945]

If you want to sell the magician for a reasonable price I know someone interested as long as it’s titled. We both live in NW OKC off council and expressway; I see okie rider as your name but unsure how close that is to you.

[@pulsartech2945]

Looking at your videos I’d guess MWC or Moore/Norman. If you reply and are interested we can figure out someway to link up

[@BucketList22]

@okierider, I would be sure to check the reviews for the shop you are considering purchasing from. Even if the bikes are the same everywhere, a poor dealer experience can make the whole experience bad. I live around 120 miles from Arlington, but I just bought two from Cajun Mad Dogs.

[@pulsartech2945]

@@BucketList22 the guys at CMD are great, I haven’t purchased one yet but they’re always super willing to answer questions and listen. Several of my friends have purchased from them with no issues

Got 125 sky team dax in grey a month ago but it hasn't done any mile's as it keeps raining in UK !!! Lots of dax sites Will have to keep original style as will be 2 up .keep up good work

[@Jeep-Creep]

Will do, I love the Dax! I think it has the most style out of the Honda variants. Bummer on the rain! We are in Spring here, but in Michigan (about 2 hours from Detoit in mid-Michigan) we get a mix of cold weather, snow, storms, and lots of rain. Sometimes a nice sunny day but not often. It won't really be good riding weather here until closer to May. I have an awesome vintage looking leather side saddle bag and also an engine guard. I am still on the break-in period oil too... I think they want you to run it I believe 300 Miles until you change the oil and then are allowed to take off fast and go above I think it was 25mph. I am trying to follow the instructions to the letter so my bike stays mint and reliable, which it has been so far! If you have any pictures I would like to see them. Take care

[@JeffBassir-lo6zj]

You've had it about a year now; how is it holding up? How many miles do you have on it now? Any problems? You should adjust the valves before 500 miles: if you haven"t done it yet, then video the process for us when you do, please and thank you. Is the speedo accurate, if not, how far off is it?

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@JeffBassir-lo6zj runs like a champ still. I haven’t got a ton of miles on it as I only take it out on nice days when I’m free which isn’t often lol. Only problem I ran into is the front break lost pressure. Tried re bleeding it. No luck. I got a better and bigger brake / cylinder to install still. No problem I can do a video of a valve job. Speedo is pretty on, I think I top at 55mph. I got a new motor I want to put in it from China. It’s a 190cc which I want bc the roads by me are 55mph and people do 70mph and I’m tired of getting run over lol. Also if you haven’t please subscribe

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

If you have Amoco gas stations in your area, they sell ethanol free fuel, and that is what you should be running in that bike. Better for the carb. and fuel lines.

[@Jeep-Creep]

I need to look for one. Not one too close

[@bb-ballistics1706]

Project farm did a video on those fuel stabilizers and they make very little difference

[@Jeep-Creep]

Wow watched it and I think this makes me change my mind a bit on fuel stabilization. I know this was on Lucas and not Stabil but I would assume it’s the same. I guess fresh gas for the win and draining the carb is the best method for winterizing motors. Thank you for sharing this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6e2kHdqlNF5a7c

[@bb-ballistics1706]

@@Jeep-Creep no problem. I used to use it myself too

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@bb-ballistics1706 I also didn’t realize fuel went bad so fast! 9 months and he couldn’t get his mower going. I know I’ve used fuel much older but yeah I mean it was in closed containers too that are more air tight so that makes sense. But gas in a mini bike or what ever probably gets a lot more exposure to air. I do have one bike that won’t start and has 1 year old fuel mixed with a little new fuel. Smelt bad like vinegar so I’m sure I need to drain it and use fresh gas. I don’t know if I’m super sold on using only ethanol free gas or not. It’s a bit harder to find and I think more money not sure. Never bothered before. Always had good luck in the past. At same time I would like to be more proactive. What is your experience like?

[@bb-ballistics1706]

@@Jeep-Creep do they add the crappy ethanol in your country? They do here in the UK. It's awful stuff. Shortens fuel life. Attracts moisture, damages rubber and turns into a stick paste in carbs etc.

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@bb-ballistics1706 they sure do. I am in the US and live in Mid-Michigan about 2 hours from Detroit. So you can find it ethanol free but not many sell it. Most stations use I believe 4-10% ethanol. I think all marinas are ethanol free, and places that carry rec-fuel, recreation fuel, might as well.

[@mdv1236]

House of still holding up? Have you had any troubles with the swingarm

[@Jeep-Creep]

Holding up great so far. To be honest I don’t put a lot of time on it or ride it hard. I will say my front brakes are mushy. Bled them and still bad. Trying a few tricks before I replace master cylinder on my brake line. Zero issues with swing arm b

[@mdv1236]

@@Jeep-Creep thanks for the info I've been on the fence about buying one

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@mdv1236 yeah it’s pretty nice. Starts up really nice and runs great. I drive mine down dirt roads and it’s a little bumpy. It has a ton of torque and goes. Not sure what kinda bike you are looking for but it’s not bad for the price.

[@stevenjohnson7571]

Do you know where the cdi box is on these? I can't seem to locate it

[@Jeep-Creep]

Yeah, the CDI is attached to the bottom of the battery box. Remove the battery box to access it.

[@1972mercurycougar]

Yep, pretty nice for the money

[@Jeep-Creep]

Great bike!

[@andreware6471]

How tall are you trying to see the size

[@Jeep-Creep]

I am about 6’ tall and weight around 230lbs

[@andreware6471]

Thank you. I'll thinking about getting something doing research now.

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@andreware6471 It's a great bike! I had an original CT70 as a kid and loved it, but the small 70cc motor is not enough... the 125cc is plenty unless you ride on roads 55mph plus. I bought a 190cc motor for my bike I will be putting on this summer, it's only basically so I can cruise at 55mph easily. The bike has plenty of power, lots of torque, easily wheelies.

[@parkersgarage4216]

Use ethanol free gas when you store and run it. You dont need any of the other garbage.

[@Jeep-Creep]

Great idea and I’m all about that idea

[@parkersgarage4216]

@@Jeep-Creep ive owned many bikes and i never use that other bs they sell. when its time to store it i simply fill tank to the top and park it. all through using it i only strictly use ethanol free gas. the ethanol is what causes the corrosion and all the other problems. protip use ethanol free in lawnmowers and all small engines. saves you major headaches trust me. the only thing that stabilizer and other bs they sell you does it create a film on top of the gas to block moisture. the ethanol will suck the moisture aka water right out of the air and hold it. heres the kicker though, if you move the bike at some point or even bump into it. you will break that film and then the garbage is useless. best part is you simply avoid all of that w ethanol free gas. generally speaking you get slightly better mpg and the bikes tend to run better as well. another thing as well the ethanol in the gas will also eat rubber hoses o-rings etc. its just shit fuel, i apologize for the long read here but just trying to help you out and save you some money and alot of headaches that are unnecessary. take care and ride safe out there and have hella fun.

[@Jeep-Creep]

@@parkersgarage4216 thank you for the knowledge. Yeah I always thought the additive did something. Probably just been lucky all these years. I will for sure switch to ethanol free gas. I love learning the why to things like this. It’s really good to know.

[@mrbojangles9841]

Is this 6v or 12 volt?

[@Jeep-Creep]

12v

[@craigsauter9231]

You forgot to put on the front fender.

[@Jeep-Creep]

I got an adapter after I shot this to raise the front fender to accommodate the larger tires.
