Personal Experience w/2022 BD125 X-pro X7

[rageyoudown]

Hey all just wanted to share,

Bought the bike second hand with 30 miles. The seller mentioned the bike was unmodified and put together by a local handyman.

Immediate issues found..
Speedo/Tach off about 8MPH
Oil leak under locating pin of stator cover
tank vent line kinked (caused vapor lock)
crank vent line kinked
battery poorly installed
nothing properly greased
front forks weak and dive when braking

Modifications.. (not completely 1-1 swap, some require adapting)

1. Flat Seat for Grom.. couldn't stand the weird hump the locking bolt is thinner than stock and I personally solved this with wrapping tape around the bolt (https://a.co/d/fffiVKe)

2. Easy pull clutch lever.. helps to lube the clutch cable but now the pull it super easy and smooth. Depending how its orientated it can hit the passing light on pull in unless you remove the choke lever (https://a.co/d/1cGuLRf)

3. Fender eliminator.. doesn't come with turn signals, license plate light needs to be rewired, bolted on the same bolts as the rear metal bracket (https://a.co/d/g5ln7go)

4. Bar end mirrors.. requires aftermarket handlebar, ran these on multiple bikes.. always awesome. (https://a.co/d/ciwZxdU)

5. 17T sprocket.. jumped up straight from stock to 17. First gear is much longer and bike feels more streetable. Need to downshift on uphills for optimal rpms. (https://a.co/d/3qWTTTm)

6. Bolt on muffler.. one of the only I could find that retains oem high mount and header pipe. Sounds good even with baffle. Doesn't come with smaller exhaust clamp. (https://a.co/d/g48ozv5) Exhaust clamp that fits (https://a.co/d/3vWTIuk)

7. Motorcycle rearsets.. Couldn't stand the oem rearsets.. The shifter on these sit about where the footrest are on the oem ones. These require a lot of adapting like extra bolts and I still haven't figured out a good way to relocate the brake reservoir. Keep in mind you have to remove the swing arm bolt to put these on.

8. Vent filter for crankcase.. self explanatory not sure if it's needed (https://a.co/d/9J03N5y)

9. Fuel petock.. used because aftermarket carb doesn't have one (https://a.co/d/bOkR41y)

10. Aftermarket handlebars.. bought these because they come with correct clamps, grips. The bolts for the clamps are much bigger than oem and they feel solid. Requires a couple washers and to drill the hole to fit controls. Works with bar end mirrors (https://a.co/d/9tRqAzm)

11. Nibbi Carb setup.. Tried a couple clone mikunis and the experience was horrible. Would just recommend this because the adjustment screws are super easy to manage. Stock jetting kept. Carb (https://a.co/d/8TzoMXR) Intake manifold pipe (https://a.co/d/3RWO9k0) Air filter (https://a.co/d/3RWO9k0)

12. Gasket kit.. never know when you need it, the stator cover helped my oil leak. kinda cheap and flimsy may not recommend this brand. (https://a.co/d/gpFOYIU)

13. Iridium Spark Plug.. actually made the bike run smoother, noticeable difference (https://a.co/d/cLifeZu)

14. Gas vent cap.. peace of mind instead of messing with the stock on way valve (https://a.co/d/d5AUS7U)

15. Rear Storage.. Increases the functionality of the bike for me, rain covers work great in Washington and fits helmets, groceries etc. Doesn't look too odd imo. Covers fit without blowing off. (https://a.co/d/eBC5z4Z)

Future plans..

Bigger engine/big bore kit, 150cc probably the sweet spot.

Front fork oil change/upgrade.. don't have an issue with the rear shock since its preload is adjustable

If you have any questions or recommendations LMK
