:cryfiddle: Goodbye my darling.... :cryfiddle:
Wow, and where's the replacement?
Replacement is ordered and expected within the month! Don't get excited, it's not gonna be anything new to this forum...
Is it at least something ChinaV doesn't have or had?Quote:

The bike she looks awesome, and obviously has carried you well these years.
Is the new owner in MCM?
cheers
Wondering why you sold it.You mentioned you were leaving Shanghai but still are you trying to get a new bike with legit plates?
Answers:
Sorry, the replacement is something ChinaV already has and has written a lot about, it's the Qinqi QM250. I tried his last year and haven't stopped thinking about it since!
The picture was taken on sunday, here, at a lake near suzhou called yangchenghu. Beautiful area with lots of canals, old houses on the water and no tourism.
The new owner is not on mcm, it's a chinese friend who has wanted it for a while and had fist dibs on it if i decided to sell.
I sold it because it has 20000km and though it's still running fine now, i don't know if it could take another 10000 without problems. I have a very big trip in the works for this year and would like to do it on a fresh bike. It would not be fun to be stuck on the tibetan plateau 500km from civilization with a broken frame...
Nice. Hope we can ride out there together in coming months!Quote:

Can't blame you on the choice of bike, its a serious bit of kit for an allrounder in china, i'm sure you'll miss the single minded, rawness of the galaxy that makes you ride like a hooligan.. when the road is a perfect mountain racetrack, but you won't miss the raw rear end the rest of the time:lol8:
What colour you going for in the Qingqi?
Sounds good!Quote:

Found your post. It is indeed a nice bike, it is a shame I ca`n`t register.
To the poster above: is that Buckminster Fuller on your avatar photo?
Nice and detailed review, also good quality clear pictures. Thanks a lot for that. Planning to buy same bike in two weeks, would like to ask you since the bike is not water -cooled did you ever had problems with over heating while travelling quite far, such as 900km for example, as you wrote? Also if its worth to change the muffler to gain some hp or the difference will be not that noticable? Thanks for answers in advance)
Jialing VS Loncin http://www.motorfans.com.cn/bbs/t_16954267_2.htm
XTR is using Loncin 223. You can mod it to oil-cooled if u knows "how" .
Not much of a comparison, many seem suspicious that major brands sell models made in other factories (not Jialing).Quote:

Have you got a web site link or a phone number for the factory? I'd like to give them a call to find out where I can see one.
slightly related, here's a pic of my shiny new CNC machined fork clamps. now i'm not scared to use my front brakes anymore for fear of cast aluminium catastrophic failure!

Hi Felix, where did you get the triple clamps? I have an XTR125 and am also worried about the originals? P.s my hub blew out too so replaced them with KTM sx 85 hubs...Direct fit :-)
Hey i only know how to get them in china, via a sort of chinese ebay called taobao:
Upper - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=..._u=v8aqu5ed6b4
Lower - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=..._u=v8aqu5e7bae
Try searching this forum for people's experiences using taobao agents such as taobao focus to buy parts on that website and have them shipped abroad. I have no experience with those agents, but i can tell you that the seller for the links above is reliable. If something fucks up it won't be on his end.
Best of luck!
hello, I want to buy one, but here are called Pister pro xtr 250.
I want to enduro light.
