My new ride.

After owning my TaoTao atv's for a little over a year, and they are still going strong. I decided to get another Chinese bike. I went ahead and put a 2018 Venom x21rs on layway, and finally paid it off last week. Gotta say I am pleased with my experience with Venom Motorsports. Anyway without further ado my "monster".

Welcome to the "Clone Club" ! I bought my Vader from Venom as well ,I think you will be pleased with the Bike, I am super satisfied with mine especially considering the price.
They are really fun machines to ride and respond well to mods ,but are also fine in stock form.

I was back and forth between this and the Vader, I still think the Vader is a fantastic looking bike. And I'll be modding this I can't leave anything stock, I may have a problem haha.

Nice to see another 2018 bike. I just got mine a couple weeks ago. Just got done installing different LED headlight. The LED`s that came with the bike sucked bad. New exhaust is on its way. got new grips too. Carb will be next. Always something to take my money.

Congrats!

That’s a great looking bike! It’s a tough decision with all the different models out there. Let the modding begin!

Enjoy the Ride!

How is your exhaust under the motor? I had to take mine off to get the drain plug out to change the oil. I will make sure to re-arrange the new exhaust so it isn't like that.

I can get my drain plug out, barely and it drains on the exhaust, but I plan on a different exhaust so I'm not too worried about it.

What have you guys done to the bolts on the exhaust since you cant Loctite them? I tighten them up then there loose again a short while later. I don't want to make them to tight, knowing my luck the stud will break off in the head or strip out.

Double nut it. if the stud is long enough put a lock washer in between the two nuts . That will lock it in place.

What led bulbs did you go with? The stock ones do suck!
