Just keep riding it around where you are switching through the gears and it'll break it easy. We all go through it, Just the price we pay for Chinese, but it's worth the discount!

Haha. I have raced sport bikes since 2007ish, and raced XR100s from 2014 or so. Fiancé was super supportive about getting back into “big” bikes, but was upset that my SV650 doesn’t have lights or plates... so the Vader was my solution. We ride together, and she will learn on it.

Yeah that is the best bike to do it on! My girl and I both have a Vader and she's new on motorcycles so it's perfect for them to learn. Be safe!

Okay. You got me interested. Now what is the difference between the 'Gen 1' BD125-15 and the 'Gen 2 BD125-10? Anything besides the plastic?

There are probably some minor differences, perhaps in the chassis, but since the Vaders are all certified on the same EPA/DOT certificate, and they concurrently sell both models, mechanically they are the same. I suggest to speak with Pete at Kronik Racing--he is the Vader guru as far as dealers go (member RedCrowRides is among our resident experts on this forum). He sells them, repairs them, modifies them, and has performed, or sold the parts to perform, engine swaps on the little, mighty beasts.

Sorry for the late reply, but yea the 15 (even though the number is higher) is the older "round" style headlight and plastics and the 10 is the newer Grom SF style with a little different plastics. Having had both, the parts and engine are identical.
