Make sure you get the apollo db 36 deluxe
Get the Apollo 250 Deluxe! I happened to get it before they raised the price up, but if you wait the holidays, black friday, etc. they have sale's. It's a 2019 model made 07/19. Was fresh off boat in first real batch sent to the USA. Came no damages . The speedo was in MPH, not Kilometers.When you buy one of these street legal bikes, make sure you request your MCO or fill the website's MCO form out. Theres usually a link on their website's stating MCO Request form. I learned hard way... Rightaway disconnected the quick connect to kickstand shutoff switch. Follow wire up and you'll se the quick disconnect. Get rid of it .. Get rid of handle bars and do yourself a favor and get yourself a set of Pro Taper 7/8 handlebars (cr high bend). I got the platinum color on my black bike plastics. Goes together very nicely... I got pair of serpentine mirrors off
ebay for literally 12.00 USD. Get yourself a rear shock cover from Aliexpress.com. By the way Aliexpress app or site has a lot of part's for these CB 250 Zongshen engines. Apollo db 36 deluxe comes with a CB250 engine. CB's have Overhead cam. The Hawks have the CG 250 engine, which are a push rod type. Heard they vibrate a lot more . Do not feel much vibration from the apollo's.. They are really 223cc or 229 cc. One or the other... Aliexpress.com has Everything from front sprocket covers and even exact stock replacement cover. They got whole air cooled engine gasket sets, pistons Kits etc.. last thing you'll need, but at least you'll have an idea where you can easily find parts for the low... I changed out my carb to a different PZ 30 carb and did away with choke at control and cable. I actually have a few you tube videos on YouTube. One is a walk around on my 2019 Apollo deluxe. I also have an apollo dbx 18 125. I did a lot to that. Like buy an extra set of stock tires and replaced them with irc heavy duty tubes and Michelin city grip street tires, basically made the dbx 18 street legal from scratch.
but if your interested I have a video & description of what I did to both. Just search YouTube for "all in one apollo db 36 250 walk around". The other video is " all in one changes I've made to apollo rfz 18" And few more if your able to find them. They both been great running bikes. I highly maintain and keep my things clean. I wired up headlights, taillights with pressure banjo bolts and all for working brake light on the rfz 18. Good learning bikes for people to start on also. The deluxe is one of the better looking 250 chinese bikes, in my opinion. Especially when you change them handle bars and those mirrors. I put a 16 tooth on front of deluxe and in motion of trying to find a 35 tooth 520 rear sprocket. Having hell of time finding one. All in know is that a 2003 honda cr250r rear sprocket will fit, but they dont make a 35 tooth for that model of honda. Just gonna have one custom made from rebelsprockets.com. only aluminum they make. I would not use the leaky battery they give you with bike. Ive seen on others bikes where it leaks a stains your swingarm, etc..Please do yourself another big favor and go on
ebay and buy the Zipp sealed 12 volt 5.7 amp battery . For 19.99. Or you can get 2 of mighty max 12volt 5 amp for 23.99
ebay. Or you can get yourself a Fire Power lithium ion battery for 80.00, which only weigh's under 1 LB. You can also get CNC peg's which are much lighter then stock peg's. Stock peg's are heavy, but tough... the more weight you can take off this bike, the better off you'll be. I bought a Spirit beast oil dip stick for honda with a magnet on it and also put a dime sized circled magnet with open middle snug in the screen when you change oil out. Fits in snug and catches a lot of metal shavings. They say these are heavy bike's but name brand's like Honda and Kawasaki 250's, some weigh more. I did a lot of research on this type of stuff so. I will be getting a separate set of rims and tires eventually to swap on a dime notice. You could not ask for a better break-in for this 250 engine. Changed oil quite a few times during the first 350 break-in miles. Make sure ya check out the Apollo's. You'll be wanting one. Hopefully all goes well for ya folks. Have a good one. Ride smart. Here's pic few weeks after purchase.
