    Great, thorough video! As far as the chain, most riders will be happy to get 1,000 miles on the stock chain. (This might be a year or two...) On my KPM200 Scrambler, I needed to add a link to the chain to accomodate the larger dual sport tires. This gave me the excuse to upgrade to a better O-ring chain that should last at least 5,000 miles, maybe more!

    Hey Herb, Who manufactures the engine to the Thunder 125? I think Apollo is the US importer if I'm not mistaking. It's sad that even dirt bikes with 17/14 inch wheels have tall seats. 33" is high for a person with 29" inseam. The only alternative would be to go down to 14/12 inch wheels and those bikes have a very short wheelbase which makes riding uncomfortable for an adult. Can the rear single spring suspension and the front fork be adjusted to lower the seat height without major work? Do you have any plans of converting this bike to a street legal? If you do, a conversion process video sure would be appreciated. And also if you could have a family member or a friend with a 28-30 inch inseam to sit on the bike so we can get a good idea of the fit for shorter people. As always thanks so much for all your efforts to help us out.

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681 День назад

      @@JeffBassir-lo6zj I will look at the engine when I get home tonight to see what markings is on it, yes Apollo imports it. I will plan on making a video with someone shorter on the bike, it is a pretty tall bike. All you have to do on the front is raise the forks in the triple trees so more is above the triple clamp. The rear would require a shorter shock absorber to make it lower. Getting the bike street legal would be tough. Putting lights and all that on it would be easy since it already has a headlight, a battery would have to be added too. But the problem lies in getting the state your in to allow an off road title bike to be street legal. Forget about it in Illinois, not sure about your state

      You mean Mrs Herbie, yeah she’s getting a little more comfortable on it but still isn’t ready to take the motorcycle safety course yet. She needs more time practicing starting and stopping before hitting the road. Thank you, I think it is too and is a lot of fun to ride. It’s my favorite bike to ride most of the time.

      My top speed on the KPR with a 16 tooth sprocket was 85mph, the 17 tooth was less, if I remember correctly it wouldn’t pull more than 81mph and I ended up taking the 17 tooth back off. The 17 th did lower the rpm a little for normal driving though.

    • @herbiesgarage681
      @herbiesgarage681 8 дней назад

      You’re welcome, I really like the top box. The paint color doesn’t match perfectly but it’s close enough really, and the lock isn’t what I would call secure and some would think it looks too big for the bike. But honestly I love it, it has plenty of space for everything I like to carry with me and if I stop at the store there’s room to put more stuff. I’ve had to carry things home from the store many times. I haven’t noticed any negative effects like lower speed or gas mileage from the wind resistance or anything like that. It does make it a little more difficult to swing your leg over the bike to mount and dismount as well. All in all if I had it to do over I would still have put it on my bike. Since I ride to the store a lot it just makes it so convenient to have that on there. Hope this helps

    Hello Herbie. Another good video! A bit of advice, when lubricating your chain(s), be it paste or spray, do so from the inside, not outside. Centrifugal force will push the lubricants into the links and sprockets. Got this tip 40 years ago, been doing it since. Keep up the good work 👍.

      @@romans883 This bike is a very good trail bike and you can run it hard but if you want to make jumps and hammer it hard this is not the bike for you. It’s a good build quality but the suspension is not made for jumping the bike, you would probably just tear it apart. The engine is pretty powerful for a 125 and a lot of fun. I have not had a super lot of time on the trails yet but it has been a reliable bike for me. The only thing I changed was the carburetor and that was just for curiosity sake, the stock carb is good for running this bike pretty hard. Like most of these bikes you need to rejet because the EPA forces them to lean the engine out to pass emissions. For the amount of money that this bike cost I would say it is very much worth it for the amount of fun you can have on it

      I haven't released the video yet but top speed is the same with all things being equal. With that said I know from experience that the 17 tooth can bring the top speed up by about 5mph. The main benefit will be lower RPMs in every gear at the same speed.
