Max speed of JH600 is 150km/h from my GPS
Max speed of JH600B is 120km/h from speedometer
I think it is planty fast for China roads. When I tour in developed countries, my speed usually is 140-180km/h.
How fast can a CJ750 go?

How fast can a CJ750 go?
realistically 32 hp=120 km(with the very real possiblity of blowing the motor)
=60-70 cruising speed is common
24 hp= 80 km
=60-65 cruising
Pegged wide open mine has done 120kph.........but it won't do it for long. Boom.Quote:

However, 140km/h for 45 mins non-stop shown not problem. I believe JH600 engine is reliable.:thumbsup:
Jim I've never ridden a JH600, so I can't be so sure how well it runs. I have ridden plenty of big bore singles such as the lovable old KLR 650, which has similar (claimed) power to the Jialing and is probably around the same weight at around 170KG dry or probably 200KG wet.
You really don't need to leap to the defence of a cruiser type of bike, a Chang or even with a BMW engine. It is heavy, slow and has a fairly low top speed (due mainly to the gearbox ratio). (My humble 150cc bike will beat a regular Chang or equal it on nearly every type of road (I have ridden a couple)). It is however a lovely retro cruiser bike with tonnes of torque, there's nothing wrong with that. :thumbsup:
True, very true.... but I have been beatin in race by two boys on a moped on the 318 in Shanghai. Now I know a CJ is not for racing and I never wanted it to be a race bike, but it still hurt the little "wanna be" race inside:frump:Quote:

a freakign moped....................come on! whats next nuns on bikes:lol8:
Fingers, just get yourself a nice two wheeler. When you are in the mood, go for a cruise on the Chang, when you are in the mood beat the kiddies on the mopeds with your two wheeler. :icon10:
Got 1 4 U :riding: Photo of my new (300 km 1st oil change) JH600 in front of my apartment here on the East side of Guifeng Mountain, Xinhui, Jiangmen, Guangdong. Replaced the HUGE original muffler with a local Mr. Motorcycle straight-through glass pack & replaced the stock horn with air horns. Now really LOUD :scooter: Is there any need to re-tune when replacing the 10 kg muffler with a less restrictive one?Quote:

That's the first one that I've seen that wasn't red. I think it looks better in black. Keep us posted on your experiences with the bike. Do you plan to add any touring cases?
Cheers,

Congratulations first :thumbsup: Any chance to provide some more details on the muffler :naughty:Quote:

Hi all,
Thanks for the great package of information it's been very informative. But it seems that i arrived to china too Late to have latest info in this forum about these jh600 bikes.
If somebody have more specs or just anything about the new models, or problems with older ones, I would be appreciated to be shared, as I'm seriously thinking about to buy one.

Forget to say happy new year for eworybody China
Jialing JH600 Manufacturers website
JH600 Maintenance manual
JH600 (2015 model in Columbia) You.Tube
JH600 used by Corner Adventures (MC tours)
Also check the for sale section of MCM there are/were a few JH600 for sale
Thanks for the links,
Especially maintenance program is one of good things to know but for me the oil change every 3000km seems little often, How much is the oil capacity of these?
Have been spending some time in this forum and elsewhere to dig more info about how to register a bike in the bike banned area I'm staying currently, still not not sure yet but will keep digging.
Understand the model has been out for years now and seems to be reliable choice but most of messages releated to quality and durability I ffound from this forum are not very fresh, but ok I believe no news is good news. So I will continue serious thinking.

3wardwood,
I have had one of these since 2010. Biggest problems to date have been my fault. I have some old postings on this forum about all the issues. The bike is west of Yixing at a second home I have in the country. I am thinking of buying a bigger bike but if you are ever out west of your location before I change over, let me know and you can ride mine and get a feel for them.
Reliable bikes, them Jialing 600 been around for a while. The forum had a solid following of Jialing owners (solo / sidecar) based in China with great feedback and ride reports.Quote:

Pal,
Yes, understand members of this kind of forum will move and change, I will keep reading ride reports etc.
TexasAggie,
Thanks for the offer I keep it in my mind it's not really far away. But one question: you mentioned planing to change it to bigger one, may I ask what is that?
3w
I am 6'2" and 300lbs when fully geared up. I ride a BMW R1200GSA in Texas. I bought the Jialing because I just could not bring myself to spend over $50K for the same bike here in China. That was 5 years ago. I changed the suspension on the Jialing (new progressive springs in front and a complete new adjustable Wilbers shock in the back) The suspension is better than my capabilities but the 600 thumper engine is just not that exciting with my fat ass on it. That and I get bored with a steed after a few years unless it is exactly what I want anyway. (like a R1200GSA or maybe a new Triumph) China has a way of wearing you down to do things you would not have done in the past so I am going to up the ante and spend a little more to get something new. I am actually looking at buying a HD Sportster and doing a Burly scrambler conversion on it. My first steed here in the middle kingdom was the CJ750. Lots of fun.....when it ran! Then the JH600. It does what it does well but the itch to do something different needs scratching.
You are right that you are less than 2 hours away. The offer to ride mine is genuine (as long as you have a license so they cannot confiscate the the blue animal if something goes the wrong direction!)
Interesting opinion you have about MCM members choice of bikes ! Is your opinion base on the members you know ?Quote:

MCM forum, all turned to utter shite quite a while ago, read the posts made during the last few months, all talk about dodgy bikes with swapped engines and fairy tales about fake driving license.Quote:

Why the hell would any western manufacturer make bikes in China unless they had complete faith in their business strategy, a rare thing like Suzuki, others can't be bothered.
Also this site is full of what some people refer to as 'troll spam', I wouldn't go quite that far but there is certainly a great deal of posts of little use or relevance giving unsolicited and often not very worthwhile or exaggerated opinions. Probably polite compared with the racist crap they read on a general media Chinese website in the comment sections, but still doesn't read well.
Then you have the fact that most people who come to the site just mine information and never sign up.
Anyhow: LETS GET BACK TO DISCUSSING THE JH600
That model needs a face lift, Jialing should consider investing in a design upgrade for it.
The JH600 design is very close to that of a Cagiva Canyon, which has been described as looking like a dog that has swallowed an egg. There was also another adventure bike made by Cagiva called an Elefant, also homely…
Here is a proposed revision by Italian designer Oberdan Bezzi for a Cagiva Elefant, Jialing could consider the design and applying the design to their JH600.
