I just got it!!! haha exciting. Even the delivery driver stuck around for awhile cuz he was interested! I would have recieved it a couple days ago but somehow the local shipping comapny had an old Cellphone number of mine, not sure how they got my old number--maybe from social media or my yahoo profile or maybe amazon or ebay or previous business I had done with them in unrelated orders...Anyways no worries for me and just a heads up if you want your bike the fastest way possible then ask Kronik or whomever you order from for tracking number and they will give the tracking/pronumber and company it is shipping thru--then you should call the shipping company immediately to schedule a delivery appointment! Overall delivery was still quick and within the window of a few days promised, just eneded up towards the end of the window.


Initial looks after removing the cardboard looks like the box and one piece of metal shipping frame were hit..BUT bike looks mint!!! I will go back outside now to take more pics which I will poast later AND of course try to get the bike put together and garaged before dark. Maybe even get some oil and gas and start it up tonite!!

Also Kronik shipped the MCO or MSO whatever you call it in with the bike which you need to register it and is awesome! I have heard some bad stories of other companies charging extra or being lazy and taking a long time to ship the documents seperately!!

Thank you Kronik!

cbrfxr67 see you also have a BD125-15 and I have a question of how to do oil change?? mine is a Gen 1 if it matters and my manul talks in broken english bout doing a luboil change and cleaning the filter at same time but doesn't point out the oil drain...so I went on to Youtube and saw a Gen2 guy Y4shiroku or however you say his name and he points out a bolt right above the exhaust in the bottom front of the engine on the side your right leg would be when riding...PROBLEM is with my bike that exact same bolt won't even clear the exhaust! I can get it at least halfway out then boom it's stuck! am I supposed to drain it thru the filter or..? I would really appreciate it if someone knows!

I will be posting many pics I took but I am severely beat right now from struggling with the tire lol might need rest 1st i have funny pics of my dumb method of lifing the bike with ropes.

So far im very happy with my Vader from Kronik Racing

My Vader came shipped all the way from Cali to the East Coast only 2 dozen miles from the shore and only suffered a cracked front rubber blinker spacer as the sole damage so I am happy, I can tape it with electrical tape and/or use epoxy until I get the cheap flush mounts I want to put on.

I am happy with my purchase and compared to stories from other people I feel very fortunate I chose KronikRacing.com and they sent the MCO I need to get the title in the container with my Vader. Plus I know I can always call them for questions or parts and they know exactly the answer to any question for replacement or performance parts, they have always answered my email or other social media mssages quickly usually within minutes or hours on business days. And I know Im lucky mine isnt damaged but in many cases as long as the seller packed the bike properly I feel like it is more up to the shipping trucking companies as to whther or not your bike shows up damaged--one thing I can say is I have heard some bigger websites get slightly used bikes returned sometimes and then resell them as new with defects and I feel like the place I bought my bike would not send anything out with damage knowingly.
I also wonder if a lot of the Vader sellers really ever look at the bike if they aren't paid to do a PDI--it looks like mine was packed maybe how it came from the manufacturer in China and was never taken out until I got it--so if the bike shows up damaged it would be on the Asian bike maker or one of various shipping companies or even customs could damage the bike if they pull it for inspection and dont repack it for shipping properly.

Anyways I am stoked to have my Vader, my thanks and reccomendations are to Kronik Racing! I will try to post more whenever the weather here in CT warms up and stops raining! This week last year we had our last snowfall of several inches where I live but this year it didnt snow too much and melted last month early. We already had one freak 77 degree day but most days are like mid 50's a couple hours then 40's a lot of the time lately :/
