Blue Loctite ALL bolts and also make sure you lube the axles and swingarm pivot bolt thoroughly. They're great bikes but you have to go through them completely. Change the oil several times as it wears in properly. Keep an eye on the chain tension regularly. The cheapo china chains tend to wear and "stretch". I'd recommend replacing the chain with an RK chain.
@@jamie1061i always use locking washers. unless its something that is taken out alot then ill drill a hole through both the stud and bolt and put a pin on through it.
This so much, any bike with more than 2 cylinders seems like it would be a waste on public roads and I'd be frustrated not being able to use the full amount of horsepower I paid for.
old school mechanic here two big tips I can give you for these kinds of bikes, firstly, make sure you change out the Jets in the carburetor they're typically tuned really really lean from the factory, and secondly, make sure you change your oil after a couple dozen hours of running for the break-in procedure. also check your valves around that same time to make sure there's nothing loosey-goosey in there.
@@Kordare any time boss, if you run into any maintenance issues, Motocheez is a good source here on RUclips, he specializes in Chinese motorcycles among other things.
I just bought a 125cc engine for my little 70, what RPM would you recommend staying around for the break in period? and how long? (I've ordered a tach, hour meter, and temp reader for the new engine) and anything after break in. Thank you.
I had the DBX19 which is this size but with a headlight. It was fun and a great bike to learn on. Being brand new I was intimidated to go to a dealership and spend a lot of money on a Japanese name brand. The Apollo was a lot faster than I anticipated. It can go 50 mph and the front wheel will jump up if not careful dumping the clutch. I sold it and got a bigger one now. It’s on the small side for an adult male. Probably perfect size for a teen or a lot of female riders
Guys what should I get if I’m noob? I want take some from Amazon around 500-600$ ,just to tide some area in Las Vegas…not “sport” or pro,just for fun , I’m 5.8 and 175 , not sure if x pro 125 is good for me
Very very important that carb gets plenty of air. Changed to a high volume air filter and what a difference. Make sure air fuel adjustment is dialed in (copper colored on spark plug electrode). You can feel the difference! Also I removed spark arrestor.
I had one, they’re great bikes but if you plan on doing wheelies, watch out for the rear wheel hub it started cracking so the wheel hub flopped around then the chain popped off because of it and locked up the motor, Besides that it ran super good and the motor was strong
@@Srt_dion19 how does the chain lock the engine?? Mine rear hub exploded from older and cheaper pitbike and nothing locks, chain just running without rear sprocket.
I got the 150cc version with the 4.9l plastic fuel tank, and the 14" rear wheel and 17 front i think. replaced the carb with a 26mm mukuni. Upgrade the chain, lube the axle bolts... the bike needs going over freqently for head bearing services and wheel bearing replacements. Brakes are easy and fine...parts are abundant and cheap. Change the oil freqently!
send it bro, practice in the dirt, if you fall at lower speeds with a few pieces of gear on, you'll usually be perfectly ok. I've actually crashed off road with buddies and we had a good laugh over it. People really demonize motorcycles as this hyper dangerous transport, but it's really not much worse than a car, you just have to be extra careful and attentive. Good luck buddy.
They make descent bikes, but you should pay attention to assembly. From the factory some wheel spokes may be not tight, as well as the bolts and other things. Pro version is much more durable, has alloy wheels, suspension that can be adjusted and handle big jumps. I was lucky enough to get a good test drive before making a choice. 250 hours of abuse and nothing broke besides the oil radiator, and piston rings were replaced as well. Plastic is super soft and does not brake. Rear suspension need a cover because the mud and sand will destroy it quite fast
We've had one for couple years now. Actually two, a 90 and 125. I'm blowed away by them overall for the money. Like others said. New carb and little loctite and it's quite the value. Basically Honda 1990s clone I think. They Feel Very similar
You just wanna go over the bike after assembly and add blue loctite to bolts that have no locking features, otherwise they will rattle loose. I've specifically noticed the rear sprocket, exhaust to motor, and kick starter bolts loosening up
Check out the SSR 150 for a step up from this. It's got a 5 speed, and a nice sound. It's hard to view a 125 as adult bike but i guess this is the same size as a TTR.
For the price they aren't to bad but they are made cheap so keep an eye on everything. I bought one for my boy a few years back and we put a bigger front sprocket on it and increased the top end quite a bit as there weren't many hills where he rode. Needless to say it got stolen.
Hey just saw this!! We have a mower shop and have been selling these for years. We sell them assembled and tested for what you pay shipped in a crate. We have had really good luck out of them over the years. Nibbi carb makes an amazing upgrade for them. The rfz40 is a 140cc and is a huge upgrade also the z20 is a 125cc and has a much better shock and ride for $100 more. They make a rzf race bike as well in a 150 and 200 free ride. Ty so much for making this video I’ll be showing it to our customers :).
I have found that a lot of the clone/China bikes are fun....no rocket machines but they are still fun . The engines hold up well. Again, this my honest opinion. I have been riding since I was 7yrs old. I buy a lot of used China bikes, fix & clean them up, then resell them. No complaints from the buyers so far. The Apollo, it is a very good bike from the 70cc to the 250cc. If you aren't racing motocross and just enjoy trail riding, these China bikes & ATVs are great for small trail riding. I also like restoring older name brand bikes. My latest is a 88 Suzuki DR200 and its a beast! Thanks for sharing this video.
Hey thanks for making this video. I want a dirt bike soo bad. Im an excellent tech and have been wanting to get an old 2 stroke that needs the carb rebuilt
amazing to see decent upside down forks, suspension ,disc brakes and a great looking and sounding exhaust on a cheapo bike.. If this were out in the time of the XR75, it would have blown people away LOL. .. the only drawback here is the forward angled cylinder... reminds one of the old honda moped motors, though this one seems alot stronger.
I highly suggest aftermarket carb I had one and bogged a good while till I got a new carb that new carb and intake helped a whole lot never had bogging issues and make sure your keeping the bolts tightened up they find to come loose often
Loose bolts is a no go for me.. That could get you killed.. A Honda XR150 is like $2k... And I know Hondas.. I've had a 400EX and a Recon 250.. I've got friends that had XR dirtbikes.. Those things are tanks on 2 wheels.. Ain't never heard of anyone having to lock tite on every bolt on those.. I hear this bolt issue all over this channel and all I picture is the front wheel falling off while doing 50 or 60 and face planting.. "I thought I put lock tite on all the bolts" while you're in the hospital with a broken neck.. It will be that 1 bolt you missed.. No thanks... Thing sounds like a death trap..
Listen, bro, I never rode a dirtbike before and I looked this up on RUclips because I found that on Amazon and I called her that dirtbike my baby. I’m getting it tomorrow and by the way I’m naming her. Sarah.
I have the same gloves, they are decent for cut resistance, and they don’t get sweaty after long periods of wearing them like others, 10/10 would recommend.
Ordered one of these bikes from Amazon around a year ago in green. Also ordered the bigger Mikuni carb, an aftermarket air filter, Pro Taper bars, and some other accessories to make it better, but unfortunately, it was so damaged in shipping that I had to deny delivery and had it sent back. Got the $ of the bike back but am stuck with the aftermarket parts.
@@Kordare It looks like it. I had high hopes! The bike itself looked fine but the crate was damaged and the box with all of the accessories had a huge hole in it and the majority of the parts were gone.
what u said about how u feel like u acidently pull the throttle is so true lol. i rode a pit bike a couple years ago and almost ate it multiple times cause I felt that way and jerked the throttle.
When I bought my first dirt/street bike, you could not ride a brand new bike like that. Instructions said something like breaking the engine and components in. You couldn't go over idk...this was in the early 80s...say 10mph for so long, then 20mph...took a good week to break the engine in. I've bought all used bikes since then, except for the dirt/street I have now. I regret buying it so much. It's a 250 cc, $2k. Even at its lowest, I have to tippie top to reach the ground. I should have known, being 5ft 5inches, 105 lbs. I bought it brand new in June of 22, has 21 miles on it. That's how much I love it. My little bike, a Honda 80 XL from the mid 80s, went 55 mph with 2 teenage kids on it. Meant for one. 60 with me alone. Of course that's pegged out, but this 250 doesn't even touch what that little bike had. If I'd have known I could have bought a Honda XL 125 for 1500 bucks and with a Credit Card. I'd have done that instead. At least I know what I'm getting. It's faster than this 250 too. Stay away, far far far away from Tao Tao Tbr7
Put a Mikuni carburettor on it, as usually these Chinese copies don't have a mixture screw on the carb causing bogging, and depending what kind of energy you're going to put the bike through? I'd definitely change the rear shock, and brake lines.. Otherwise you can't really complain for the dollar spent. Thx for sharing ✌🏼
Fun fact: My certificate of origin I got with my Venom Thunder said it was an Apollo ADR 125 I bet the ADR 125, RFZ 125 and Venom Thunder are all the same bike with mostly just cosmetic changes.
1 to 2 times a month? If I were a kid in that area, it would be 7 days a week. You should have seen rural USA in the 70's. Kids on bikes everywhere, 7 days a week. It was a great time.
@@EarthSurferUSAborn in 1964 with dirt roads and Creeks all around. The first bike I had was a z50a 1972. After that it was CT70 1973, xr-75 1975, CR125 1976. The last two motorcycles I owned were stolen from. 1986 xr250 and then a 1986 CR250. I miss riding, I need another dirt bike!
I had a similar one as my first bike, kayo tt 125 which is actually cheaper, hell of a fun. you can not do lots of stuff compared to full sized dirtbike but if you dont have more money of if you want to play it safe it is a good choice, it is basically a Grom of dirtbikes.
I just retired this year, and my shop sold a lot of these bikes. the manufacturer is Apollo. the engines are very good. you need to be careful of the transmission, like where he was jamming it pretty hard to put it in gear. be mind full of tire pressure and loose spokes. carbs are a good upgrade and so is a better rear shock absorber. The coolster M-125 is also a great bike much like this one. No comparison to Jap bikes but for the money....fine
Put a VM 28 on that thing and wait till you feel the difference in the mid-range. I swapped mine out and it is a whole other animal what's that 28 mm carb.
Never seen your channel, but in the first 10 seconds, saw the Z3 in the background. I had a 2000 M Coupe back in the day. Clown shoe car lol. I'll sub to ya just for the memories...
You should motor swap it they have a z's190 or 212cc engine 5 speed electric start and kick that's a direct replacement for it and it will do 75mph on the road it would be just like a ycf or pitster pro 👍✌️👌🏍️🥂💯
@@Kordare its definitely a grown man move would also have way more torque the zs190cc is 18-26HP a common swap to they even use it in motocross and mini gp bikes there lots on RUclips about them it would be like a Honda crf150r to compare it to a name brand but that bikes like 6k awwawawch🤑 it would be sweet.🏍️👍✌️👌💯
You are so lucky to have a dirt bike i have dreamed about getting a dirtbike for ages.I have wanted one since i got into mountain biking but there just to expensive but this bike looks a decent price i might save up for it
Bruh, I can't believe with all the good content you put out, this one brings in soooo many views 🤣 Whatever it takes, glad to see it. Congrats my friend 🤘
How’s it running so far? I’m looking into getting into this hobby, but I don’t want to spent a crud ton of money just yet, would love a cheap and easy to get option for my first one, but I also don’t want one that’ll shit itself in the first few months
It's been great. I ride it all the time and has held up nicely. Just gotta watch for some hardware coming loose. So just check those and add some loctite when necessary
I would like to see an update on this just to see if it lasted, if it’s still doing good nine months later? Maybe find out what modifications you had to do? Thanks
I rode it a lot since getting it, very happy with it overall. Just gotta watch for some bolts loosening up. Otherwise it's super fun and starts easily.
can see the bike is very low geared for a 125. same as my old 110 pit bike . but these bikes are safe fun and should last if you keep a check on everything
My buddy bought a rfz 125 off of some one and 4th gear was gone so he bought a lifan 140cc engine brand new for 500 bucks and it’s quick and plenty of torque to wheelie
i had one that i 190 swapped it, if you dont abuse them they are great i guess, i welded pretty much everything you can imagine on that thing lol it was atleast 4 sets of rims per season on a pit bike track you get what you pay for, rear suspension was decent on mine the front forks straight up trash, i believe mine was called apollo open 140? something like that, only thing that never broke was the engine they are strong when you run em with quality oil
Blue Loctite ALL bolts and also make sure you lube the axles and swingarm pivot bolt thoroughly. They're great bikes but you have to go through them completely.

I had a similar one as my first bike, kayo tt 125 which is actually cheaper, hell of a fun. you can not do lots of stuff compared to full sized dirtbike but if you dont have more money of if you want to play it safe it is a good choice, it is basically a Grom of dirtbikes.
Cool little bilked for the price. You’ll definitely have loads of funny on it
Loving it so far 🤘
It's a rfz big wheel pit bike .I've got one with a 160cc in it
Damn I’m about to grab one of these for that price nice buy man I like this thing so far it’s a nice thing to have some quick fun on.
I've been very pleased with it so far. Ride it all the time 🤘
how much did got it for, with taxes?
@@frwd4371 1375
I have one very similar and it’s very fun and it breaks away less than you would think
Just curious what the seat height is off the ground?
Nice video brother. Now I have to explain to my wife in a couple of weeks why there is a big ass crate being delivered to our home.😩🤦🏾♂️🤣
Awesome I just ordered the same one👍
🤘🤘
Wow for a thousand bucks you cannot beat that deal and it sounds amazing it just needs a new carb and some tuning.
Agreed 🤘
I'm surprised at how healthy that motor sounds!.. I assume the wheels are 17"/14". I see that some of these bikes come with 19"/16".
I was too! Yes they are 17/14
the probably for me, i used to own honda CR250R and well every thing since but a R6 has been boring.
I’m getting the same dirt bike in summer
👍👍
I just retired this year, and my shop sold a lot of these bikes. the manufacturer is Apollo. the engines are very good. you need to be careful of the transmission, like where he was jamming it pretty hard to put it in gear. be mind full of tire pressure and loose spokes. carbs are a good upgrade and so is a better rear shock absorber. The coolster M-125 is also a great bike much like this one. No comparison to Jap bikes but for the money....fine
Appreciate the tips 🙌
Its a nice bike
U should upgrade the carb will have better throttle response and front sprocket to a 15 for wheelies
I actually have one, just need to install it
Odd I have have never had any interest in getting a dirt bike but now I want one
This is a great one to start on 🤘
I moved to Salton sea recently and I want a dirt bike this looks good for hooning around the líder roads and open desert
I love it so far
Put a VM 28 on that thing and wait till you feel the difference in the mid-range. I swapped mine out and it is a whole other animal what's that 28 mm carb.
Never seen your channel, but in the first 10 seconds, saw the Z3 in the background. I had a 2000 M Coupe back in the day. Clown shoe car lol. I'll sub to ya just for the memories...
Appreciate it 🤘🤘
You should motor swap it they have a z's190 or 212cc engine 5 speed electric start and kick that's a direct replacement for it and it will do 75mph on the road it would be just like a ycf or pitster pro 👍✌️👌🏍️🥂💯
Brooooo I might need to do that
@@Kordare its definitely a grown man move would also have way more torque the zs190cc is 18-26HP a common swap to they even use it in motocross and mini gp bikes there lots on RUclips about them it would be like a Honda crf150r to compare it to a name brand but that bikes like 6k awwawawch🤑 it would be sweet.🏍️👍✌️👌💯
You are so lucky to have a dirt bike i have dreamed about getting a dirtbike for ages.I have wanted one since i got into mountain biking but there just to expensive but this bike looks a decent price i might save up for it
Do it!
This would be a great beginners bike for me. Awesome video my guy🤙🏽
It's been a perfect bike to learn on for me, thanks!
Getting my kids some bikes this summer and this may be the perfect bike for me to put around on with them. Fantastic!!!
Bruh, I can't believe with all the good content you put out, this one brings in soooo many views 🤣 Whatever it takes, glad to see it. Congrats my friend 🤘
Haha I know right...... Working on a bunch of new stuff right now 🤘
The word “CHEAPEST” draw ppl in.
the internet exists to sell things be it distraction and division... or amazon products.
These bikes are awesome! And if you get bored of it on the dirt you can get some supermoto wheels/tires for it.
I'm having a lot of fun with it so far 🤘
You can make a nice fish tank stand out of that steel shipping frame.
😂
Can't wait to see what kind of mods your going to do it!
🤘🤘
Looking to get one for my gf who wants to learn to ride, im definitely excited now i might get one for myself haha
They are fun 🙌
You should put aftermarket stuff on it and see how much better it runs and looks
I will be doing that 🙌
I wonder if you can make a conversion kit for these cheap bikes to convert them into a atc .
How’s it running so far? I’m looking into getting into this hobby, but I don’t want to spent a crud ton of money just yet, would love a cheap and easy to get option for my first one, but I also don’t want one that’ll shit itself in the first few months
It's been great. I ride it all the time and has held up nicely. Just gotta watch for some hardware coming loose. So just check those and add some loctite when necessary
What about getting a real bike 💀
@@yungcashregister9657 nawwww
@@yungcashregister9657 am poor, and the markets jacked rn
@@yungcashregister9657alright I lied, I just got a ttr 💀
Thank you for posting this!
My son an daughter wants one for Christmas an I was very hesitant about it
🙌🙌
How has it held up since?
@@gucciflip-flopzcruz5467 it's been great I ride it all the time. Just gotta watch for bolts loosening up. Good idea to add loctite to them.
i used to have one i just recently sold it, it was fun but after a year it starts to have problems
I like your style
Sounds like running rich, but that makes sense as a default i guess. good vid!
Thanks 🤘
For the price, that thing looks super fun to ride!
It's seriously worth it in my opinion 🙌
@@Kordareis it still going good after a year?
Prolly going to be the most reliable vehicle in and around that garage
It's been pretty reliable so far. All my vehicles are really reliable actually
I bought this bike a few days ago I can’t wait for it 😂 do you still like yours?
Yeah I'm really happy with it
I wish I had enough money to get this thing being 14 is hard 😭
Stay patient 🤘
@@Kordare Thanks, I will try harder!
Is it street legal? I'm 20 y/o 6'0 and need either this or that razor mx600 to travel to work. No car so it would be more fun tbh and cheaper
This version isn't but I think they have one that is with lights etc.
I’m trying to save up for a dirt bike me and my friend are gonna wash cars and mow lawns and take out trash but I only have 33 bucks and it cost 299😔😢
Keep working and stay patient!
Thank you ur my inspiration 🥹😊
How do you get parts for this?
That's funny
Pit bikes are fun. I have a 125 coolster, fun to scoot around on
I would like to see an update on this just to see if it lasted, if it’s still doing good nine months later? Maybe find out what modifications you had to do? Thanks
I rode it a lot since getting it, very happy with it overall. Just gotta watch for some bolts loosening up. Otherwise it's super fun and starts easily.
can see the bike is very low geared for a 125. same as my old 110 pit bike . but these bikes are safe fun and should last if you keep a check on everything
So what did I win with the right guess? =P
😂
@@Kordare free drive in all the rides
Ya
I can’t wait to see a turbo on this thing!
🤔🤔🤔
Are you ok???
My buddy bought a rfz 125 off of some one and 4th gear was gone so he bought a lifan 140cc engine brand new for 500 bucks and it’s quick and plenty of torque to wheelie
Nice🤘
I love pit bikes, they’re incredibly fun
Agreed
Love it omg loved watching this 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪from Ireland
🤘🤘
I have the same bike but mine is black and it’s a really good bike
Agreed🤘
do you think the TAOTAO DB17 125cc dirt bike is about the same or better?
19:30 bro that's the most awkward kickstart known to man 😄
😂😂
Loved it.
Enjoyed the video. Seemed like y’all had fun. Always like reading instructions where the translation doesn’t really read in normal English haha
😂😂
i had one that i 190 swapped it, if you dont abuse them they are great i guess, i welded pretty much everything you can imagine on that thing lol it was atleast 4 sets of rims per season on a pit bike track you get what you pay for, rear suspension was decent on mine the front forks straight up trash, i believe mine was called apollo open 140? something like that, only thing that never broke was the engine they are strong when you run em with quality oil
Daytona 190 or zs190?
