My bike came with electric start only ... and has also no shaft coming out of the gearbox to assemble a kick start.
But in TaoBao i have seen the engine with a kick start shaft.
Somewhere earlier in this report i wrote about the seat height, forgot the details..... anyway, the only adjustment is riding with .. or without seat. :-) There is NO adjustment for the height. Who knows, maybe they tape a sponge block on top???????????
Yeah... Sponge block not really what I had in mind, though I bet I could make that look good!
I have figured out there are 3 shops in Shanghai that carry this bike -
KnightRider/Jiyuan Motorcycle (ShangNan Lu PuDong) - Sells CFMoto / Triumph / Yamaha / XinYuan
CF Moto Dealer (WuZhong Lu Puxi) - Sells CFMoto / XinYuan / Lifan / QingQi
Any recommendations from riders in Shanghai as to which dealer is best for buying these Shineray bikes?
Maybe I will start a new thread comparing dealers - Sales / Support / etc.
Hi,
I am interested in buying an X5. Does anyone know where there is one in stock at a dealer in Chengdu as i will be there this weekend?
Thanks for any suggestions.
After 3500km I decided to change the crappy original chain to a good one.
The needed chain is a 520 with 110 links. I bought a imported D.I.D. 520 VX2 110FB from TaoBao.
Price was 670RMB.
Time to change was about 30min.

Can you share the TB link? I'm pretty bad at finding ANYTHING on TB it seems...
TaoBao Link for the chain:

(you must tell the seller via QQ that you want 110 links long)
Cool - Thanks.:icon10:
Am headed tomorrow to pick up my bike with a temp plate and give it an initial workout. All of your pictures and warnings are definitely going with me to check before I get too far along.
Really Appreciate all the detailed feedback.
pay attention to see the steering head is sound tightened. on my first way home i was wondering what that strange behavior. Back home i fixed that. Also check all fasteners after riding some km.
Looks like KR Shop screwed me so far...couldn't manage to get a temp plate and have now pushed back the delivery another week - everybody says good things about them, and yet I'm finding them to be WAY too disorganized....:taz::hellfire:
Knight riders owner is a nice guy, but the shop is really poorly managed and the mechanics are clueless! I waited 30min (no joke) for then to figure out the race stand so they could work on my CF. I stopped they cold after that and said I would take it back to Jeff ob Wu Zhong lu. They couldn't get the bike off the ground, how could i trust them with service it. I never go there except when they had people riding the "MX" track in the back of the old location.... I use the term mx loosely.
