Re: Who is this motorcycle?
The world of chinabikes gets even more weird and confusing eh? There is a Texas in Australia but I am sure it is not the one despite that company website being in Sydney. A confused page full of colour, warnings, little information and not very well put together, just like most of the bikes!
It seems as if everyone's rich uncle is digging up the gold from the back yard or more likely finding an investor, and this stuff isn't cheap, plastics moulding alone is expensive to set up, then they are mashing these bikes into many brand names and throwing them deliriously at various markets. Ingenious Chinese entrepreneurial desire for riches coupled with a factory full of cheap hard-workers somewhere will never end in success except by attrition and in the end, will kill the market they all so desire. We (the lumpen proletarit lol) want and need cheap workman-like bikes around the world and that is where the Chinabike phenomenon comes from, not the glitzy tacky crap that is starting to take over at inflated pricing. With all this nonsense they are killing the potential goose that would have laid the golden eggs.
A few good solid engines in sound designs and then back that up with solid support and parts first, some recognisable branding - later let the 'boys' play with mods and design changes in real competition at rallys, on the tracks and the streets of the world. Otherwise the mutli-million dollar development programmes of the japs will always smash the china bikes and the cycle will go round again, cheap crap copies, defunct companies, bad reputation.

For the life of me I can't remember who makes the engine for it or what model its based off of.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought all the BMW singles are being made by SYM or Kymco.
I'm here for the education, Chinese bike manufacturers confuse me....:lol8:
Pitsterpro, love how they assume themsleves as the manaufacutrer of the bike...
http://shop.pitsterpro.com/2010lxt400dualsport.aspx
$3,399.00
Who is going to buy a bike from one picture and a blurb?
It looks better...but any color but the green version looks better.
Re: Who is this motorcycle?
Oengus,
I think Pitsterpro is the only company currently capable of bringing the 400 to market. They find good stuff in China, test it, refine it, QC it and then sell it. Not saying they are perfect, but they're far better than any Chinese factory when it comes to marketing and supporting what they sell.
Cheers!

I agree, they had an ad in Dirt Rider magazine offering it for $2,999.00 till the first of the year. They should have thought about how long the magazine circulates the add or offer expired before the circulation did. But they are in the review, they are next to the big dealers in the comparisons of the 2010 buyers guide. I also see locally they are affliated with a very large dealer...but they do not have them in stock and are not selling the bikes, when asked do you have any chinese bikes other than the one ZS200GY-2...they say no? They have that bike a 2006 with $1,900.00 on it? SHARKY
Re: Who is this motorcycle?
Could get real nice KLR for that price?
Re: Who is this motorcycle?

Re: Who is this motorcycle?
not sure if it is ok to revive old threads here. But it is the only thread i found with my type of bike. I just purchase very cheap a Xingyue Artery but have absolutely no documentation for it. I would like to find a service manual but so far i was not able to find anything online. Also the Canadian Xingyue site does not seem to exist anymore.
I also have a charging problem with this bike and i'm trying to find a wiring diagram, and a maybe a parts diagram and a source to order parts for this bike
2010 Xingyue Artery 400cc engine 23 km's :)

Re: Who is this motorcycle?
Swianda, how's your Russian these days?
User's manual - http://www.bikezona.ru/upload/books/stels_400gt.pdf
Some parts catalogs - https://docs.google.com/folderview?i...1ZPeDRnUkdxdlE
Two useful threads dedicated to Xingyue 400 - http://kluchers.ru/viewtopic.php?t=1023&f=20 and http://www.china-moto.ru/forum/topic...yue-xy400gy-2/
There is, allegedly, service manual, also on Russian, but I didn't manage to download it, because they reqiore some juggling with text messages, some codes...

Re: Who is this motorcycle?
Thing is, that sales numbers of C-motos in ex-USSR are really big, so even "Xingyue" has big user base, ergo - big amount of info circulate in Ru-Net. Google translate can help you.
