I Did It Again...TyGuy's Venom X22-GT Review

[TyGuy]

So, I did it again. I sprung for an x22GT. Given gas prices around my neck of the woods, figured I'd get something efficient and easy to ride for my 25 mile commute to work that involves some heavy traffic at times. My x22 doesn't fit the bill for this and is used for local cruising.

Took longer to receive, but I expected that given shipping issues in the world as of late. It's significantly heavier than my x22. I will say this: it has much better fit, finish, and overall quality in my opinion than my x22, as well.

It is significantly faster than my x22, runs more smoothly, and handles better. It's larger overall. No rattling or anything funny like that.

...and it is WATER-COOLED!

Came well-assembled and everything I checked was tight.

Initial tips if you're considering this bike:
1) CONNECT YOUR FUEL LINE on delivery. You will find the fuel line dangling underneath. Run it to the right side of the carb.

2) Mine required an idle adjustment, so I set it to 1,500 which seems like a sweet spot. Anyone needing help with this process, let me know.

3) Don't concern yourself with installing the battery by removing the interlocking fairings. Put the battery in from underneath and save yourself the heartache.

I will continue to update this thread with my observations and discoveries.
