what camera/microphone do you use? is this your typical set up? and do you have any audio editing software? your voice is peaking the microphone but otherwise love the vid!

[@NICKELGHANDI]

I use a GoPro Hero 9 for the camera and an old Samsung USB C headset for the audio. I know I was overmodulating on the Mic and probably need a new setup. I may try adding some fabric or cotton over the Mic first to see if that deadens the wind and stops the voice pop.

Hey man, I just bought a new Vader. I’m hoping to cruise to work some and that would include a 10 minute ride on a 65mph highway. Will the 190 allow me to cruise around that speed safely?? Thanks

[@NICKELGHANDI]

It will do it. You would definitely need to break in the motor first and get through a few oil changes. You would also need to go to the 17t sprocket and possibly a smaller rear sprocket. Mine is at about 9500 rpm at 65mph, 10k at 70mph and pushing 11k at 80mph. I wouldn’t want to hold it there for too long.

[@hunterharris8005]

@@NICKELGHANDI I wonder if the 212 would be safer on the motor itself to do it then.

[@NICKELGHANDI]

It will get you more power but the gearing is really the limiting factor here.

Although it looks like a Grom, I would be surprised if the quality is like Hondas. I own the new Honda Dax ST 125 here in Europe and its crazy expensive, but its also known to be almost bullet proof quality. Happy riding.

[@NICKELGHANDI]

It’s not even close to Honda quality. I’ve replaced a lot of parts to get it reliable enough to ride regularly. I did all of that in the first 500 miles though and I am almost to 2000 now on it. They can be almost as good as a Honda but you trade the money for the Honda for sweat on the clone every step of the way.

@@NICKELGHANDI what parts are they?

[@NICKELGHANDI]

@Jugg215 some of them are in the pinned comment but I also replaced the Cush drive bushings, wheel bearings, rear brake line, and added a speedometer correcting device. All of that plus the ZS190 motor. The frames on these newer ones seem to be pretty solid but it’s the little wear parts that will fail on you.

Check out a company called lifan. They make some awesome bikes. Ive owned multiple hondas and currently own 4 bikes and my lifan kpx 250 is by far my favorite at the moment. Ive even jumped it quite alot and the only two bolts that fell out are ashamedly ones that i put in lmao. Its been just as smooth as my hondas which isnt surprising because they used to be a honda contracted factory. Even comes with a two year warranty 10k mile warranty. Advertised 75 top speed but i did 78 down hill with my fat 210lbs on it and a strong wind going against me so im thoroughly impressed.

@@inhumanfilth681I have a Lifan kpr 200 that I really enjoy. It’s smooth and comfortable and will do 70mph without blowing up.
