Xpro Storm DLX 150 Review

[tknj99]

Surprised that xpro and PSM aren't keeping larger stockpiles of the popular models, this is the 2nd one now thats elusive after the Templar X. Hopefully the resellers dont let it get to their head and start bumping up the prices too much

For what it's worth, the Templar X has gone up $200 since I bought mine in mid February. I paid $1799 before shipping (valentines sale) my buddy bought one from the most recent batch and paid $1849 before shipping, and the last ones I saw before they went out of stock were at $1999 before shipping.

The YT guy Mikefestiva who did a review on these bikes might have been a factor in getting a lot of them sold more quickly than normal.

Just a few thoughts on my 150 DLX…seat height 35”, tire pressure front 32 rear 30, tires say 32 max but book says 18-20, agree with the manual! Oil change, 28 Oz came out 26 went back in because the dipstick shows high otherwise. Battery tested 13v, fine with me! Battery is sealed and the brand is Top Liyang 6MF4L. Sorry for not spacing, no keyboard on my IPad. Nice bike and quality! My thoughts…more later

I was mixed up with the oil as the book says .6L and when I added that it was too little. I've since settled on 800ml as the amount for fill and have changed the oil at 0mi, 10mi and 100mi. Next will be at 500mi intervals

Just a heads up, as of this morning, PSM has the black version available. Price is $999.95

Plus $300 shipping.

[tknj99]

Seems the price has gone up about $10 in the past month, no biggie there. At the time I saved $50 by purchasing via xprousa instead of psm. They r the same outfit so purchase from whichever has it in stock and cheapest

[J4Fun]

Mine from Xpro was 1299.95 delivered and this was a few weeks ago.

[tknj99]

If Xpro restocks it'll be $1259 delivered. It was $1250 when i purchased last month with free shipping.

A couple of thoughts here, the kickstart is a bit loose on the shaft and no I’m not going to break the bolt trying to tighten it, does anyone else have this problem? The headlight mount does need a spacer to aim it down a bit more. Great idea on the license plate lights, but noticed on mine it doesn’t have side reflectors either front and back. Not a problem because I’m in FL. Got everything done chain adjusted and did a start up this morning between rain drops an it ran great! Again I’m still very impressed with bike…my thoughts

The kickstart on mine is tight. I haven't used it so maybe thats why lol. I haven't adjusted the headlight, good catch though as i'd imagine its similar as far as aim, will have to check.

Update: swapped out to a 17T front sprocket as it still needed some more top end, plus first is basically a super-low gear and runs out of steam fast. Will test when weather cooperates and see if the 17T is a keeper or if the 16T was the sweet spot. Unlike some of the other China bikes, this change did not require any grinding of the sprocket cover to make it fit. With the 17T the chain is tight in a couple of spots when on the kickstand, when compressed it has the proper range of tightness; will leave as is pending a road test.

[tknj99]

Update: decided against the 17T after the road test. Although i could now hit 60mph on the speedo max on a downhill, it would lose too much speed on inclines and the motor couldn't overcome it. With the 16T back on i can hit 57mph max but sustain speed much better on inclines.

[J4Fun]

Yeah I agree that the 16t would be the best. Here in FL everything is relatively flat so it seems the right gearing. If it doesn’t scream at 50 that would be great! Btw got the title and plate today
