Ordered a x22 from venom
 

Hey, long time no see, everyone! I'm still riding the vader 125cc and I have about 1500 miles on it at this point and still haven't had a hiccup. As some of you may know I've had a x22r on layaway for some time at venom but I recently had a change of heart and with the x22 125cc. I love the engine in my vader so much I just decided to go with another :crazy:

Anyway, it's paid off and I should be getting shipping set up soon. I'll keep you guys up to date with whats going on. :thanks:

Nice, Welcome back. So you have a Vader and buying another? Why not just buy a new engine

no not another vader but the x22 "ninja" clone. There is nothing wrong with my vader lol.

I guess to be clear I mean the x22 has the same engine as the vader. I understand your confusion now. Bad wording on my part. :doh:

Oh got you! ;) nice post pic when you get it, Love these bikes.

I certainly will!

Can't wait to see it!

Bike shipped out today. Estimated delivery dat is the 10th. I became a bit concerned when I read on on one thread they didn’t have lift gate service. I emailed venom and they said they do and it’s included with the home delivery price.

You should be fine....So get your tools ready for PDI

Congrats!
 

Only 4 days and a wake up to go! Camera ready? New bike day is always exciting!

Enjoy the Ride!

Tools and camera are all ready!

most likely be to your local hub on the 10th, and expect few more days added for the home delivery setup(answer the phone).my sons x22-s black is riden everyday around town rain or shine. pushing 4k miles and still runs like a champ. the frame on them secures the engine in place very well. smooth ride! we replaced the carb and fuel lines and that's it!

Glad to hear his is doing so well! What carb did you use?

good question!
it was labeled mikuni vm22. as in my other posts about these, they come with inconsistent pilot jet types and sizes. mine is unique and says made in 'jaFan'(yes with a F). i have modded nearly 10 other chondas using this carb and from the two sellers i get mystery carbs...some of the mikuni vm22's have mikuni pilot jets and some come with Keihin pilot jets....if it comes with a Keihin pilot jet#38 might as well trash it or return it if able. no seller i have asked can tell you whats inside the carb for sure...trial and error basically to get a good one like is on mine...but if you can get one that says jafan that's the one i recommend! all of them i have gotten use the mikuni main jet....i got three different needle brands too...i even tried the genuine vm22 by mikuni and these are for larger fuel lines and can get adapters but it seems to push too much fuel to the 125cc no matter the adjustment i made...
carb spinner with paper gasket and mounting screws all in one kit is needed for this carb change from stock as the new intake places mikuni carb to front and will hit frame if not spun to right.... p.s. i never tried the stock carb, it may be fine not sure....

I'll buy one and see what I end up with. Might even get here before the bike, which would be awesome. I still have the stock carb on my Vader and honestly it does okay. I may or may not try using the stock on the x22.
