Thankyou throttle family , this video is going to make me pick up a 125 SSR, you make it look like a blast plus it will be cool to learn more about bikes, changing out parts being a beginner 💯💪🏽🕺🏾
First off, have to say, I really appreciate your videos. Very limited information out there on good mods for the Chinese bikes. How are you liking the suspension upgrades now that you've had them for a bit. We're both about the same size, so I'm curious. Thanks and keep the mod vids coming!
Jeremy Troutt much better than what was on there originally actually feels like a bike I could take to a small track and really rail it around definitely a lot better on high speed bumps and a lot easier to control.
Simply_nugget that’s awesome!!! Congratulations you are going to love it make sure you change the oil in it before you ride 10-40 motorcycle oil you can get it at auto stores I’ll post a video tomorrow
Awesome!!! Just got ssr 125cc to ride with my 7yr old son on his new mototec 50cc. Immediately I ordered a better rear shock, new plastics, hand guards for both of us, bigger aggressive colorful pegs, and break away levers(he dumps a lot lol) and new tires for me, big gun exhaust (kinds too loud). But I’ll say right now on god I am having so much fun fun on this thing with him. I had 250’s for over 20 years but this little thing is hilariously fun. Got me back to riding. And the time I share with him on trails is priceless. Can you send me a link or spec to the front shock spring? I’m only 180lbs but need the front beefed up. May be worn since bike was used. Or just need to stiffen her up a hair.
For the forks I had a xr70 with a ssr 125 in it and the forks were so soft you could stand over it and bottom it out with 1 hand on the crossbar haha.. what I did was got a quarter ($.25 coin) which was a perfect fit, then a piece of metal conduit cut 1” long and another quarter on top of that so there was even surface pressure on the spring bolt.. made a world of difference. I wouldn’t say it was perfect and I think the only way to get it perfect is to replace the springs that were designed for a 10 year old riding on a flat surface haha. But it definitely took it from extremely harsh to easily rideable. 10/10 would recommend
@@throttlefamily4655 really so I can use any spacer pre much your saying I can use a easer if I wanted? I’d rather go get exactly what you did to the suspension what am I specifically asking or looking for. Can you name the exact spacer I’m looking for for me please and I appreciate you guys! Keep up the great work
They have a bag it's cloth it goes over those kinds of air filters if anyone cares, good upgrades but ride it for awhile till you have all the money for a new carb to
@@throttlefamily4655 I'm waiting on new plastics tires and bars then I can take the ssr 110 out..o got it cheap might have to do a small video on the build soon as parts are here
Did you get you're spacers from a local hardware store? I got a ssr about a month ago and do some pretty intense trail riding and I'm deff doing this to my bike!!
@@throttlefamily4655 I got my daughter a X-Pro Storm 125cc, great engine good geometry but the suspension is a pogo stick with no adjustment. thinking about replacing it.
I noticed that you upgraded to CRF's... did you get tired of the 125cc? I'm looking at an SSR or a Tao for my 13yr old son and I to do some trails in northern WI and out in CO. Trying to keep investment to a minimum, size to be easily transported, and something to learn about motors and such. Do you know of main differences between Tao and SSR?
I got a old baja dirt runner, but i also have a old 110 three wheeler shock. going to try to fit it on the bike, honestly was just getting tired of the non adjustable piece of crap shock xD
I recently bought an ssr 125 and was wondering if any different plastic kits would fit from any other bikes and can’t seem to find a video on it lol, just wondered if you knew ?
Hey man so since you seem to know what your doing with these things I’m about to buy an ssr 125 used not starting for $400 tomorrow the guy says it was only ridden for 8 hours but he doesn’t know how to fix them he said the chain fell off and then the wheel won’t spin like it’s locked and the bike doesn’t kickstart ljme the kickstart lever is like stuck or something ? Would you know how to fix any help would appreciat
I would be careful if he never changed the original oil in there that motor could be garbage and seized up the oil that comes in these bikes are just brake in oil. Plus 8 hours and it has that many problems idk we have 100 on ours and they still run perfect.
throttle family yea I looked it up and I saw a video saying sometimes when u first get the bike since the kickstart is in a different way then like traditional kickstarts in all the bikes so it is like connected to the clutch or something and not aligned and you can just crank it back into place this guy also doesn’t know much about bikes and said he rather sell it it’s like an older guy who bought it for his son and he said he’s not very good with bikes but if you are it would be easy I’m not goos at all this is gonna be my first bike ever I just really can’t pass up a bike that looks brand new for 400 even if I gotta put some work in to it I’m a broke high school student it’s all I got right now and I just got a job so if I need to add some money in to it and save it I can but I’m hoping it’s just the clutch unaligned with kickstart when I go see the bike tomorrow I’ll ask you and try to show u what the problem ismaybe make a video on the bike to show u exactly what it’s condition is
throttle family yea I’m pretty sure this guy doesn’t even realize the bike just might be in gear and he doesn’t know that but he said the chain fell off then when they put it back on the wheels wouldn’t spin and the kickstart is like not kicking right could be a compression problem as well
@@throttlefamily4655 you ever find out which one was the dampening and which one was the rebound? Just ordered the same one, my old shock is leaking oil everywhere😂
He swapped the stock plastics for crf50 plastics then bought a crf50 graphic kit. You can find tons on eBay and maybe even ones for the stock plastics too
Ditch the Nibbi (and any other ebay/amazon knock-off carbs). You have to pay more $$$ for a GENUINE Mikuni or Keihin carb, but your life will be much easier when you need gaskets, jets, needles, and other parts. One really good clone (w/some improvements) is the OKO version of the Keihin PWK. It's a D-slide carb (flows really well) that uses Keihin jets and most Keihin parts, like gaskets, float bowls, needles, and such. And sadly, there are even copies of ThIS copy that are junk. You really have to educate yourself to not get burned when buying a carb.
I see a lot of people asking the size of the spacers he used. Has anyone figured this out since I see no replies on those comments? The size would be nice to know..
@@throttlefamily4655 actually??! I’ve been rideing with the broken shock for a bit now and works still but not as smooth, but how much is the shipping I live in Pasco WA

Just stumbled across your channel. Great video! Did this upgrade make it softer?
no it made it stiffer
How is it holding up sir?

You should do a video on installing a led light bar on the pit bike
That’s a great idea 💡 👍
Man he kinda struggled taking 2 bolts out and putting them back in.
Jake Seiner it was a little difficult they are cheap bolts and kinda bent
I was stuck in the hospital. Thanks. Tf. You both helped me.
Your welcome I hope our content helps

That integra though 😍 👌
I actually drove this car for my 3rd time this year two days ago.
Thank you for the idea on the forks.i did it and man night and day different on the front🤘
It makes a huge difference in 200lbs without gear now I’m able to ride a lot harder

Thanks for giving me idea for the next mods. Great work. Did you do wifeys bike?
Hey I have one of those stupid Chinese evoque dirt bikes. It's a vq-150 R. I can't seem to find shocks for it. You have any recommendations?
Did you ever make a follow up video on the shock adjustment? Also what shock was that I know fast ace but I thought you might have more info
Can’t Wait to watch it Had to go and Comment😁
Where did you get the nylon spacers?
Did you get you're spacers from a local hardware store? I got a ssr about a month ago and do some pretty intense trail riding and I'm deff doing this to my bike!!

Tim Kosiek I would say the ssr is built better than the Tao tao from everything I have seen. No we are just wanting to have the best of both worlds
@@throttlefamily4655 Do you have an email address to ask you some more questions? I loved all of your videos... best resource out there!!
Will dropping down from the 290mm to a 280mm rear shock work?
How well has this adjustable rear shock held up? Would you buy it again based on your experience?
Yes it is holding up great so far and it’s very smooth
Will the spacers work on a 2021 Apollo 125?
Can you link the shock you purchased?
It’s in the description
what plastic set do you have on your bike?
Hi where can I get the spares for the front suspension please mate and have you got a link please buddy?
Hey guys i was wondering where you guys were able to pick up those spacers? Did you get them at the hardware store? You guys are great 👍🏻
Home Depot and they are in the nut and bolt section. Hope this helps 👍
throttle family hey man you should give me the shock that you took off. I recently broke mine and I don’t have enough money for a new one. Please
@@kraigcrawford5431a shock replacement is like 20 bro wtf 🤣
What size front brake line and throttle cable size do you use ? I got taller bars and the throttle and brake line are too short
I got a old baja dirt runner, but i also have a old 110 three wheeler shock. going to try to fit it on the bike, honestly was just getting tired of the non adjustable piece of crap shock xD
Is the rear 10.5? I have a 110 ssr. And the rear is leaking.
i have an ssr 125 and my rear shock makes like a hissing noise if i like bounce on it, does that mean it needs replaced
Maybe it needs to be lubed around the bolts
Nibbi has had other unfav results as well. Great idea with the spacers. You should see the spacers on a tw 200 yamaha.
Mahalo my braddah. I just bought the GPX 125. I cannot wait for it's arrival.
I recently bought an ssr 125 and was wondering if any different plastic kits would fit from any other bikes and can’t seem to find a video on it lol, just wondered if you knew ?
I bought and swapped the crf 50 style plastics over so this way I could have options for graphics. On eBay the plastics are about $30
throttle family thanks I just wanted to make sure they would fit before I ordered nice carbon fiber ones lol
No problem and then if you wanted you could buy a set of our throttle family graphics
throttle family might have to 😈🤪
What brand did you use for the spacers? Looking to do this to me and my brothers pit bikes.
Ryan Long for the front forks they are just spacers you can find in the nut and bolt isle at Home Depot
I have a SSR140tr 21 what size spacers what I need bro :(?? Waaaay to soft
I believe I have it in the description if not message me in Instagram @throttle_family and I can help you out
Need to slow the rebound down. If you watch the video it goes up too quick and bounces back. Love your videos!
Could the back shocks work for a ssr 70
Could you leave a link for where you got the nylon bushes
Where is the link for the spacers
Does your bike leaks oil?, 10:45
where did u get that shock at?!
I just threw the link in the bio
@@throttlefamily4655 the link doesn't work..?
@@newland8141 I will get another one up tonight so it will be ready tomorrow
We’re did you get the spacers for forks
How thick are the spacers?
First thing i did was to put bigger wheels on 14 rear 17 front
That’s awesome I would say that probably makes your ssr a complete beast
Where did you get the rear shock?
I have a link in the description 🤙
Just subbed 🤟🏽
Always check it with your hands after you use a drill.
U get them spacers at tractor supply?
No Home Depot I’ll add a link in the description tomorrow
@@throttlefamily4655 sick video bro I'm going to lowes tonight hope they have something similar

throttle family yo man I got the bike today can you help me ?
What size are those front fork spacers
I’m around 100 pounds and just got an ssr 125 can I get an estimate of what the top speed would be?
The top speed on the bike is around 50mph which is pretty fast
Cool how do you know which side to put it in
To put what in?
The spring for front
It goes in both sides buddy.
Yes it goes in both sides 👍
SWEET!!
Does this fit Apollo 20max?
Yes it will
Where can you get the spacers?
Home Depot
So the sizing doesn’t matter? Thought you had to get a 270 but seems the 280 fit just fine
The only thing that matters is the width of the shock in the mounting points.
@@throttlefamily4655 you ever find out which one was the dampening and which one was the rebound? Just ordered the same one, my old shock is leaking oil everywhere😂
