Tao Tao TBR7 Review and First Mods

[@FastSloW-qt8xf]

With a 17 sprocket in the front this thing will do 65 all day long. I don't take mine on the highway but when I ride to my cabin which is 150 miles away my route has a speed limit of 50. My top speed on flat is 72. I hold it at 65 for almost 3 straight hours with no issues

I've been looking to buying a bike for a while, this one was cheap so I was hesitant. Definitely not nervous after watching this review! Will be sure to loosen the chain, change the oil, tighten bolts, ect.

[@xmoto7377]

Don't forget to change out the main jet in the carburetor! A 110 main if you leave everything stock and a 120 if you get the exhaust!

[@jeromeseidl1216]

Just a follow up: I currently have 200 km on the bike and it is amazing. I haven't even replaced the carburetor yet. Everything is stock and I went 70 mph. Any questions on the assembly post here!

[@OddBallPerformance]

I ran my Hawk at 65 mph for a 340 mile round trip. ;) It's all in the setup. Obviously not stock, because this is me we are talking about lol. Great review and good advice for the newbies out there. Oh, and a lot of my Hawk mods like the YSS Fork valves will also work on the TBR7.

Subbed. I actually have experience with bikes as fast as Hayabusas... But when I moved to the u.s I wanted some all around commuter for me... Which I could also take to the trail. Chase some game... Go fishing... Did it. Bought this bad boy for 1450 shipped... A nice helmet 150... And all the good ol' equipment and upgrades. 2000 later I had something thatIonly fill up twice aweek for 7 usd and I go everywhere with it...bottomline. saved enough for my truck... Later my challenger... And yeah... Life is good!!!! Oh I got the Hawk. They are virtually the same. I ended up changing the gearing, the carburator and added a 2 way valve to the exhaust ahhahaha for real. Super damn loud or super damn quite. Btw. Im from Brazil ahahaha God bless

I had mine for a year and LOVED it. When gas prices were high, I commuted 70 miles 1 way to work and averaged 80 M.P.G. with the larger countershaft sprocket. Getting the title was a bit of a hassle in Texas, because the Tax office looks up the Make of the bike, and It's basically a Honda clone, and even older Honda parts interchange. For Tons of fun, a VERY low price, and trail riding, you Can't go wrong. I am looking at the fuel injected model, but carb type like this, is so easy to jet for higher altitudes.

Everyone says to use rotella because is a good cheap oil that is wet clutch rated, also rotella is usually a little thicker so it's safer for engines that runs hotter. Mobile 1 is also a good oil to use, it really comes down to personal preference, you just don't want to run too thick, or too thin of oil!

X do you have any links for your 42 tooth rear sprocket and the exhaust? Did the exhaust give you any hassles bolting on? - the aftermarkets can be rough sometimes.

[@xmoto7377]

yea let me dig through my old emails and get you a link, and the exhaust will give you some hassles, you can either bend it slightly, or do what i did and add an extra piece of pipe right before the muffler, to get it to line up with the stock mounting location.

Asking around and doing a bit more research and looks like 44 tooth rear may be a better option to not lose too much torque. Getting mixed reports on 42 tooth rear.

So should i just get a 125cc grom over a 250cc hawk sent the hawk not a fast bike

[@xmoto7377]

Hey I have a video I just recorded where I raced a DRZ 400 and a grom 125, your comment is perfect timing 😂, I won't make ya wait for the results, I blew the grom out of the water just as bad as the drz beat me. Stock groms are slower than stock hawks/tbr7s. However you can swap a zs190 motor in a grom clone and do like 85 mph for 1/4 the price of a grom. But if you want a full size starter bike I highly recommend the TBR7

Dylan Saucida right now I have a 17 front 40 rear, good for cruising at 50 mph but if you don't have the supporting performance mods I don't recommend going that low on the rear. 17 front 42 rear is perfect for more daily street use with mild mods.

Some advice on the turn signal, there is no need to cut the wires on the relay. You can stuff foam or even ductape the opening of the relay to muffle the beeping noise to the point where you can barely hear it BUT you and only you can barely hear it meaning, its just slight enough to keep you in check so you don't leave it on while riding (which we all have done )
