Vader/Boom 125cc Upgrades..?

[Biker_Andy]

I bought some LED lights from China that say if the light flickers to call them an order a "flux capacitor". Sadly I have no interest in turning my motorcycle into a time machine.

Do you notice any flickering on other lights or just the headlight? Does the flickering go away if you stop moving or only when the engine is off & key is on?

If other lights flicker it could be a slopy ground, poor battery connection or bad battery (bad drop & broken inside)

If other lights flicker and it only goes away when the engine is off that's a good indication of a "noisy" electrical system which can be fixed with a capacitor.

If it's only the headlight and only when moving its got electrical connection written all over it. Maybe inside the bulb, maybe the connector or maybe further down the harness.

If it flickers when the engine isn't running then you have a faulty LED light.

The alternator on our bikes (Icebear little monster) is not that powerful,you will notice that once the engine warms up and in higher rev's it is brighter and stable.

I have heard that the little LEDs on the stock bulbs commonly have poor solder joints, causing flickering especially when vibration is added. One of the LEDs on my low beam light is starting to go out, but I've only ridden it about 500 miles.

The LED lights that came with my bike sucked
Bad. That was one of the first thing I replaced.

You can fit whatever carb you want as long as you can physically fit it on and your throttle cable will work with it. Reason everyone goes with the VM22-133 is because the manifold and carb is all tired and tested. Not to mention is all bolts together without clamps.

If it fits the grom, it should fit the vader grom clone. There are cheaper ones on amazon and ebay that work.

I went with a molkt carb because it had the adjustment knob and the pull choke. I was unsure at first but it's been kick a@@ over the mikuni I tried first.
