Vader Experience Boom

[cbrfxr67]

I swear every bolt needs locktite or a lockwasher on it. My ignition fell off the other day. It was still working, just fell down into the space behind headlight. Opened it up to find

The two bolts securing it to the bracket had fallen out.

Took the bracket off and locktite'd everything, and reassembled.
I think I'm around 1650 miles now,....

Does any one know what the spark plug is on a baodiao boom bike i know many other bike use the 125cc engine but can't figure out which plug they use

A7RTC buddy...THERE is a plaque riveted onto your swingarm near your rear wheel on the brake caliper side that tells you emissions info, what oil type to use (15w40 oil) AND what spark plug. hope this helps. peace

WOW that's not good. I don't have half that mileage. I was expecting my Vader to show up and be kind of like the Chinese sooters that are very bad with bolts and hings falling off nearly every ride--plus the plastics on every Chinese scooter I have ever seen turn to junk and break pretty quickly--BUT the Vader IMO is a lot better in fit and finish than the scooters, only time will tell if mine holds up. I just got rid of my POS 150cc scooter (thank God!) which was starting and idling ok but was an absolute pile so I literally gave it away for nothing--And the same thing happened to the ignition on that scooter and all the plastics were busted--that scooter was terrible, looked like junk and was borderline dangerous to ride because all the parts were so cheap and falling apart just from normal riding and taking the plastics off one in awhile and not being able to fit them back together properly because they clip together with cheap clips in many places

Do you have a caribeaner or many keys or anything heavier than 2-3 keys and a small ring on your Vader key ring?

Thanks for the info i dont have the boom bike just the engine so i did not have any reference.

Way home yesterday and it started bogging and acting crappy. The vent tube was blocked again. Some kind of gooey grease comes up from the engine case into the breather tube and then blocks the T to fresh air. It looks and feels like a lithium grease. I dunno.

I double T'd vent hose. One gives the gooey grease an escape route down and the other keeps my vent to carb open to breathe. If yours is running crappy, make it one thing to check whether your vent hose is blocked. That's three x for me,...

Rode in this morning in the rain with no problems brap braap haha

Just to be clear ( and for the somewhat mentally challenged like me) , which vent hose are you talking about was clogged? is it the emissions hose pumping fresh air into the engine or a crankcase breather? or...?

You mentioned double teeing a line and I think I see only one line with a single tee coming out of (or going into) the charcoal cannister. So I'm not sure if you meant you added a second tee to that or I missed a different single tee or you added two tees somewhere else. I think I have also seen at least 2 vents that end in open air--a carb vent and I think a gas tank vent, although I can't remember if my gas tank vent terminates in the airbox or if that's a hose from the charcoal cannister. I have only had issues with my carb vent to the best of my knowledge. And my problems seem to only happen when below 60 degrees--next time its cold and Im riding I will attempt to adjust my carb richer to see if my problems go away. I also left my right fairing off for now because my factory gas line is a bit long and would pinch itself plus get into the choke on the carb and wreak havok on holding the choke open and the gas line was even interfering a bit with the clutch cable--I can hardly believe they routed it that way but its an easy fix. I will put my fairing back on whenever I feel like rerouting and probably shortening my stock fuel line and maybe changing out or adjusting my factory carb more.

I have found after breaking my engine in the reccomended way for nearly the first 500 miles--th eVader loves to be revved high--it shifts better when you rev it to 6000 RPMs out of every gear except maybe 1st sometimes, but I rarely use 1st after leaving my driveway. Even if my top speed is like 55-60mph, it is kinda fun having a bike that feels like youre supposed to wring the snot out of it. Mine only starts doing the high frequency vibrating thing at very high rpm/speeds in lower gears or at close to 50mph. It seems to be working as described and if it proves to be reliable like my friends bikes are and like another bike I have, then Im happy

This is crankcase breather. I took off all my emissions stuff & airbox so I have a line from carb vent T'd to breather and tank, then to fresh air,....but I double T'd it to give the grease a way to not block my carb vent,...
And since you're looking at bbk's I tried that on a scooter I had but I could never get it to run right. Was easy to install and everything seemed good but it sucked I couldn't make it work. I don't know if Vader would be pita like that. Maybe not,... I'm hoping the zs $ will come down as time goes by and I can eventually pick one up woo hooo

[scoot newb]

I would skip the BBK and go for a larger motor. I don't think the zs190 kit from pitsterpro will drop below $640 shipped anytime soon. That kit comes with everything besides an exhaust and a jet kit. A floor jack, screw drivers, wires cutters and a metric socket set is all you need to get the motor in and running. Oh wait... you'll also need a drill and misc nuts and bolts to mount the oil cooler to the horn mount. I am new to wrenching and did it in less than 4 hours.

[scoot newb]

Oh shit, you'll want to get an oil catch can too.

Latest update,...lost my N light. Maybe try to figure it out

[scoot newb]

Do you know where the gear sensor is on the motor? It is by the front sprocket. It has 5 wires on it. The green and red one is for neutral. You could check the gear sensor itself to see if the "pick-up" for neutral is damaged.

That same green and red wire connects to the wiring harness and makes its way up to the cluster which has the same pin outs. You could use a multimeter to figure out where it is failing. Hope this helps



The gear indicator look like this

that's great info! wish i could rep you for that! thanks tons!
