Gretings from Devon

Hallo, I am just introducing myself to those here of this forum, for I have found myself in the position of becoming the owner of, I think, a Pulse Adrenaline 125. I say think, because the bike has no decals on it, the previous owner went for the stealth look, either way, the previous owner said it was a Pioneer, me, I am clueless as to what it is beyond a 125cc supermoto design.

The bike has come with a load of spares, parts scavenged from another bike, a full front fork, two wheels, tyres, exhaust, brake disk and rear sprocket, so I shouldn't be left needing there, but the complete bike does need a bit of tidying up, something to play with this winter, as riding, well, for me, I last rode a bike 15 years ago, my cbt part 1, I then got a car, so never rode again, but I now need a bike, so I have the thing.

My internet searching about the thing, always seemed to lead to this website, so, if this is where the knowledge is, I need to be here, so I joined and here I am.

Well I hope we can be of some assistance. There's so many different types of Chinese bikes out there it can actually boggle the mind. As a result, we generally need photos to help us identify bikes/parts for what they are if nobody has direct experience with it. Engines will tend to be of either Honda or Suzuki design with a couple Yamaha's from time to time. I'd guess to say Honda "inspired" copies are the most common though.

Your Franken-bike sounds like an interesting project! Please take lots of pics and keep us posted on the progress. :thumbsup:

Welcome :goodtime:

As I said on the other post, I think learning more about Qingqi and Suzuki will help expand your knowledge of this machine, although it seems Qingqi don't directly make a 125cc version of your bike I believe.

I live in China, actually very close to where you bike was probably made. Although my family are from Kingsbridge in.....Devon! Where are you from?

ZMC, the 125 version of the QingQi (Pulse Adrenalin) is actually more commonly produced than the 200. Much of the info in the manual should be the same.

Sprocket, if you haven't found it already, we have a free downloadable and wonderfully illustrated version of the complete service manual for your bike on MCM thanks to some brothers in Brazil. Only draw back is it's in Portuguese (unless you can read Portuguese) but with a little elbow grease I'm sure you can figure it out.

I think that the Qingqi 125cc version is not actually available in China according to their website, they have some ugly thing called a Tracker 125, but that is clearly a cheaper bike than a Pulse Adrenaline 125.

However this need for higher production capacity is probably why the (Shandong) Pioneer name and possibly different assembly plant was set up, and also to be manufactured under the different brand names for each region/country. I know we are talking about what is really the same bike, but I was talking about the Qingqi 'badgedness'! I really don't think the 125 is bolted together in central Jinan, I'm sure they have an out of town assembly plant for these Pioneer things, but many parts like engines are probably made in central Jinan.

Damn, I missed an 'e' out of greetings.

Thanks for the info regarding what my thing may be, and thanks for the link to the manual, I did resist before, due to not knowing what the bike was, but have now downloaded it, and had a quick look through, the Motard version does look similar, and I can work my way through the pictures. Torque specs in the right place are useful too.

Where am I from, well originally, near Liverpool, but now in the sunny southwest, I am in Plymouth, ten minutes walk from the sea with the moors behind. Must get on with rust proofing when I get the bike, which might be tommorrow.

Oh, one final question, how does one pronounce '' Quingqi '' ?

Qingqi is pronounced something like 'Ching-chee'.

Oh, Plymouth, yes know it well! Dartmoor and other areas around there are great in the summer!

By production I didn't mean for sale in China. I know the 125's (or at least some) are produced in Jinan because I've seen them being produced in Jinan. They are not for sale in China but the 125s are much more popular in Europe and South America because of various legal stuff.

Carl, we are both right, according to what we actually meant!

It's Christmas :goodtime:

I have my bike now, looking at it, it has Pulse cast into the black painted oil filter casing and the V5 says it's make is Pioneer, so I guess it is a Pulse Adrenaline, but for a two year old bike, aside from the rust and a few cracked panels, it is in good condition. The rust itself, it seems is bubbling under the paint, making the paint flake off, where it has done this, the rust is not major and rubs off easily. So maybe it is frame preperation prior to painting, or the paint that is at fault, either way, the manufacturers solve that problem and it will change a few minds about Chinese made vehicles.

But the problems the bike had, the reason for it's sale myself an a non biker, I have solved already, and in minutes with the minimum of tools, really the guy that had the thing was clueless beyond riding it, perhaps he is another example of the get on/in it and go mentality and if it goes wrong, take it to a specialist to fix thing that seems to be pervading motoring now. The throttle cable had been replaced, as it was said to have stuck open, I looked at the cable and noticed it was dry that is all, a bit of oil and I now have a spare throttle cable which slides sweetly in it's housing. I think also he had been educated to one of the fallacies about Chinese made machines, purely because of his mechanical ignorance, it was costing him to put it in for repairs, the labour rates were the killer in this.

The other problem was the charging and ignition circuit, the fault here I found was someone had connected the earth lead to the battery with a cable tie and it was just not quite making contact. The live lead itself was held on with a self tapping screw screwed into a set screw nut, nowhere near good enough for charging, but the battery is charged now and I will source better fixings for the bike to battery connection.

The rear indicators and mirrors had been stolen, so I will have to get those and think of some way to attach the side panels, as the original fittings have long gone, along with the moulded pegs, am thinking of doing dzus fittings, from my aircraft repair days, I remember these things were handy. So all in all I have what I believe to be a good bike, the problems are minor and repairable with some thought and I also have a complete front end, two wheels and tyres, caliper brake and drum brake assembly, brake disk and rear sprocket spare, so it will be a case of finding the best items, fit them, clean up the spares, and hopefully via fleabay make my money back on the purchase of the bike, I got the bike and spares for £325 and it is still road taxed.

I have taken photos, and will post them, just as soon as I can get the images off my camera, a problem I have due to my CF card reader being locked in my camera case and I have lost the key to get in, so have first to make a new key.

Hi Sprocket,

Welcome aboard. If you sort out the snags you'll have yourself a good little machine there at a bargain price. One of my bikes is an RMR200 which is the 200c version of your bike. Plenty of really knowledgeable folk on here that've helped me no end. Only a matter of time before you're modifying!

Have fun

Ian
