Dude, you are the Bomb! Thanks so much for including the links. I'm buying one of these buggers on Friday and I can't wait. First thing I'm doing upon setup is eliminating the canister that creates vapor lock. I'm not gonna wait for that to happen. I'll get the rest of the goodies you provided links for first thing tomorrow. Again, thanks a million for doin' whatcha do!
No problem good luck with the bike! I did all the mods on mine before I even started her up😂 make sure you get rid of the shipping oil before u start the bike as well
I just got through an Arizona summer on mine , 122° average , no issues. I almost replaced the battery, after the first month of getting it , but after I put it on a tender, it hasn’t given me any more trouble, going on a year now.
You need to get a NIBBI carb bro. It makes a big difference with throttle response. It atomizes the fuel much better than those fake ones. The interior of the nibbi carb is machined smooth. I notice a night and day difference compared to the clone carbs.
Nice video .straight to the point and no BS!👍 I have the Tao Hellcat 125 so far it’s great. I did order new carb, chain and sprocket. Haven’t installed yet but will soon.
I have a 2020 boom Vader it's still a work in progress but put numerous mods into it still have the original airbox and battery but if you really want these bikes to be reliable you have to really tear them down and go through every bolt
Hey, my Boom Vader bogged down on me today doing 40mph in 4th gear. Any suggestions? It’s bone stock. But been looking at the carb upgrade, exhaust upgrade. I had added 91 octane recently so not sure if that messed up air/fuel mixture.
I have a 2020 boom Vader with the vm22 carburetor same thing as you with stock exhaust and different sprocket what size Jets do you have in yours and what is your needle at and also the if fuel mixture screw setting
For me personally and my altitude the vm22 that I put on I didn’t need to mess with the jets or the air/fuel ratio. Most people run a 125 main jet and then it depends on your altitude for the pilot jet
Hi This is Al-Zamil. I’m in Los Angeles and I have the bigger version of this bike (Boom Ninja/x22). I need a work space & guidance on replacing some seals , head gasket, rear wheel bearings, & possibly valves. Are you in LA? Can you help? Thx in Adv
Dude this video is the best ive seen so far man. I just ordered the xpro vader 125cc and after watching your video I just ordered the exhuast, new fake Mikuni carb kit, 428 17 tooth sprocket, battery, and a gallon of oil. Do you know where to find decent rear racks and good new.fromt and rear pegs?
2023 vader 125cc with 300 miles, died mid ride, battery was dead. Bump started it and it immediately died multuple times. Bought a brand new battery and put it in. Same result i rode aronnd and it died, this time the speedometer stays on and it will will kick over but wont stay running, as soon as i give it throttle it dies again, trued bumo starting it and it womt stay running it just immediately dies
@BrapGenius hey bro! So, I’m Looking into getting a Grom clone as well. Looking at Your videos Helps A lot. So I Clicked on the Link you posted about the Battery. It Doest show up. It Probably got Discontinued on that Link. What Should I Look up?
Just got a used boom Vader anyone know how to change the contrast on the display I can only see it at certain angles so I know it's working just cant see it when riding. Or do I just need to replace it
I got mine a week ago and still can’t get it started. Called and they sent me a link that was zero help. I tried doing an oil change and now it’s not only not starting but leaking oil. Could use any all help guys.. I am at a loss! 😑
I checked them and they were fine so I don’t think it did most of them. I know I did the front wheel bolt and rear wheel bolt as well as the triple tree bolt
I just bought my very 1st one never owned one. I got the 2021 model had 0.8 miles or kM whatever it goes by I just got a 17 tooth sprocket. I'll be adding more mods I just want a little more long hwy speed. Atleast 60mph
Yes I didn’t want to spend the extra money on the Nibbi. The Nibbi is the better carb but the VM22 works well too and is cheaper which is better for the average consumer who buys these bikes in the first place since they are cheap
@@BrapGenius dude your the best with the timely answers mate. Do you mind if I share your stuff in my veterans group? A couple of them are hopping on minis too. Current fuel economy makes it one of the cheapest ways to have fun.f
If you’re willing to work on the bike then totally. I paid a total of $1300 including mods and have put 2,000 miles on it so far. Cheapest Groms right now (that aren’t beat to piss) are like $3K
Links in the description for the mods!

Just got my clone last week. Can’t wait to mod it. Same blue one
That’s sweet man I love it so I’m sure u will too
How much are they?
Moto seat has great seat covers. And you can customize
Great call
I just got through an Arizona summer on mine , 122° average , no issues.
I almost replaced the battery, after the first month of getting it , but after I put it on a tender, it hasn’t given me any more trouble, going on a year now.
That’s great, I needed a new battery pretty early on but I’ve had this bike for 4 years now and she’s still going strong
im so undecided was going to get the cafe crusier, but these grom clones are so good looking and the bigger engine would be amazing.
Both would be good but I think the grom clone would be more fun tbh

Interesting I’ll have to do that thank you
I just ordered a nibbi carb for my xpro x7 gonna put it on tomorrow hoping for the best
@@TwistedStreams15hey man, how was the carb for you? How’s the bike doing
Just got mines a week ago n im loving it
Sick bro I love this thing

The 1 dislike bought a honda grom before watching your videos.
Haha probably
Have you thought about installing a E-vap canister?
Nah I haven’t had any issues since the evap delete so I’m leaving it alone
Wow, thanks anyway, it’s strange but I used to live in NJ. Is it still extremely expensive & cold?
Yep😂

Hi I’m in New Jersey so I won’t be able to help unfortunately
Friend, I have the same one, but mine produces engine smoke, what do you think it is? 😢😢😢
Did you do an oil change? It could be the shipping oil is no good or if it smoked right after an oil change there may be oil on the exhaust
My bike won’t stay running when I start it. The bike will shut off right after it’s on unless I give it gas. Any reason why it does this?
Might be a low idle or vapor lock
@@BrapGenius I ended up figuring it out. It was because idle screw was set as low as possible
Lookin to get one to get around town and to work it’s 1500 at my local dealer not including taxes and fees in the so cal area
Nice bud they’re fun bikes

Did you have to get a new chain with the 17t sprocket?
No but the stock chains are garbage tbh.. but I still have mine on😂
@@BrapGenius thanks man I just got one of these and I’ve learned pretty much everything from this channel
Just got a used boom Vader anyone know how to change the contrast on the display I can only see it at certain angles so I know it's working just cant see it when riding. Or do I just need to replace it
I’m not sure tbh go to the Facebook groups like “the clone society” people in there will know
@@BrapGenius thanks
Why are there so many carburetors on Amazon that look exactly like the one you have but they’re a different “brand”? The one in the link is sold out
It’s the same kind of carb just made by a different company. Other ones should be fine just look up VM22
I got mine a week ago and still can’t get it started. Called and they sent me a link that was zero help. I tried doing an oil change and now it’s not only not starting but leaking oil. Could use any all help guys.. I am at a loss! 😑
Go to “clone army” page on Facebook those people helped me figure out everything with my clone
What's your top end with the 17 tooth sprocket? I'm about to get this bike and debating 17 or 18 tooth.
About 55 mph but I also weigh 150 pounds
When you swap the carb, what do you do for a fuel tank petcock?
I don’t have one anymore for the upgraded carb you don’t need it
Awesome video!!! I live in north Jersey as well and this video made me buy a clone
@@jameszaku1312 that’s great!! You’ll love it!!
Can you just slap the carb on or do you have to tune it ?
You can just slap it on but it will run better if you tune it
did you use Loctite on the bolts and if so which bolts?
I checked them and they were fine so I don’t think it did most of them. I know I did the front wheel bolt and rear wheel bolt as well as the triple tree bolt
Brap Genius okay awesome thanks for the information, getting this thing next week should’ve did the rushed shipping option
@@AidanDoesGaming that’s awesome man I absolutely love this bike hope you do too
I was looking to get a taotao hellcat instead of the one u got in the video they seem pretty much te same what do u guys think
Yeah they’re pretty much the same bike just different body styles
Have you done anything to the forks? The bike dives forward when you get on the front brake. Seems like it needs stiffer springs...
Yeah a stiffer spring would definitely help I haven’t change them yet
installed a 17t sprocket today but the chain now hits the cover and the chain rubs a little on the swing arm would you have any suggestions ?
I did the same thing I took off that cover
Just put the 17t and mikuni carb runs and sounds nice but it's not going over 30 mph but I think cause it's not broken in yet only 100 miles so far
Gotcha well congrats brother welcome to the clone life
Have you done the shifter stabilizer?
No I haven’t heard of that what is it??
How much tweaking did you have to do with jets?
You do need to adjust the pilot jets based on your altitude
I just bought my very 1st one never owned one. I got the 2021 model had 0.8 miles or kM whatever it goes by I just got a 17 tooth sprocket. I'll be adding more mods I just want a little more long hwy speed. Atleast 60mph
That’s awesome I love mine I’ve had it for almost 2 years
@@BrapGenius thats great to know I was scared to buy it when I found out it wasn't a real honda guy told me it was.
@@rogerbell2740 yeah it’s no where near the same quality definitely do these mods and it’ll be a good bike
need link for a new exhaust replacmeent
The one I bought from eBay isn’t available anymore just look up “boom Vader exhaust”
so WTF! you do one video saying the nibbi 26mm is the best carb for this bike,now your saying use the vm22?
Yes I didn’t want to spend the extra money on the Nibbi. The Nibbi is the better carb but the VM22 works well too and is cheaper which is better for the average consumer who buys these bikes in the first place since they are cheap
My boom Vader still has the factory battery 2 years so far..
Damn you’re lucky, mine crapped out in 2 weeks lmao
Feel like I can get a Ford ranger for that amount tho wnat shoud I do
Get the bike!

Do you plug the holes that the hoses come from on the emissions portion?
The meta one underneath the engine you plug and the one on top I put a small filter on other than that I just zip tied them to the side

100 miles in and mine stopped running I changed the battery and removed the emissions or evap
Does it not start at all?
Is the exhaust necessary or can you go with stock exhaust
You can keep the stock exhaust
@@BrapGenius sweet and you don’t have to cap anything off for the emissions delete.? Just raw the whole thing out hoses as well
Did u swap the jets when u put the carb on? Or just as is out of the box?
So mine runs okay with the stock jets but it depends on your altitude and humidity where u live
I live in phx so lower altitude
