My Qingqi QM-200GY

Hi all from Ukraine. Me and my friends ride Qingqi QM-200GY. And will glad to find in another countries people who ride the same bike. We whould like to share all we good and bad experience with everyone who interested. As I've seen in another post from volksjagger. He have same bike. And he is doing some turning with his bike. Realy impresive. As well as I know our bike have different names in another countries. In Ukraine its a SkyMoto Dragon-200 in US as Qlink XF200 in Brazil - Sundown STX 200 Motard, in Europe is Euromot GTX200.
So a little bit about my bike. I ride it just 4 mounth. I like off-road, so I bought new set of off-road wheels and replace with mine. As well fabricate a little cargo trunk. During tis time I had no big problems. Just few think as plastic clamps on front fork were broken. As well a broke mirror and side plastic but its all my fault.
I ride it mostly off-road and I dropping it almoust every day. Some times from the big hills.
OK below You can see my bike when I just bought it and with some modifications.

Just bought new off-road whells and testing it.

One of my first trip to local forest. Its was heavy trip for me and my bike. We never travel on the sand before. I was afraid to don't overheat it. But its don't disappointed me. I had a great time.

My new cargo trunk. I spent three evenings in my garage to make it.

On the way to hill. Its looks like it grass but you just open you throttle too much and to quick and that's it.

Thats sweet, are those 21inch front rims and tires, and the rear rack is sweet, would u be interested in selling it:mwink:

Vlad,

Welcome to the board! You've done some great work to your bike and it looks great! Rizn suggested selling your rack and he has a good idea. Your rack is interesting because it keeps the silver grab-handles.

Is it strong? How much weight can you put on it?

Rizn,
I though you'd like that wheel set-up! :icon10:

Thanks for greeting me. I glad to hear somebody like my home-made rear rack.
Well I don't see any problem to fabricate few of racks and send it to RIZN. Well I never test how much weight its can hold, but its very solid. I think 25-30 pounds for sure. I use 8 and 10 mm rods. But one think what I will change is a material. My rack from steel and the best to make from stainless steel. But its will be silver insted of black. I'm not at home right now. But I will be back in the midle of july. Let me know if you will still interested.

Hi Vlad,

You should not have told us about the 21"/18" wheels and tires you put on, because now you will make Rizn feel bad. He had been looking for a set to replace his stock 17"/17" motard wheels/tires, and ended up finding some (really cool looking, BTW) knobby tires for his 17's. But now, you had to rub it in, Vlad! :icon10:

yeah,thanks :gun_bandana: cuclune, and where did u get those rims and tires, and YES im am interested in the rear rack, and will wait for your next fab to purchase:deal:

Vlad,

Don't listen to :gun_bandana:Culcune. We are all very happy you told us about the 21 and 18" wheels! :thumbsup:

Maybe we could organize a group buy for your luggage racks and send them all at the same time.

How many can you make? Do you do the work yourself?

CC

Well I was looking for solution to find off-road tyres for 17" rims. You can find rear one but no such size for front. So I decide to replace all set. In Ukraine Qingqi's dealers saling both type of bikes - motard (as I have) and enduro (as CrasyCarl's bike). So I just bought all set with bearings and brake discs (just to sitch its quick if I will need to).

Yes, I did rear rack myself. I'm an engineer, so I have to know how to work with steel, such as gas cutting and welding. Plus, I like it. I have some equipment in my garage, and if I need something else I go to my father workshop:icon10:. He is an engineer for 40 years. I will let you know when I will be at home.
I have one idea to install kick starter on my bike (mine is only with electrical starter). So could someone take a few picture where kick starter is located. I guess I will need to buy a new right side cover and some additinal kick shaft with gears.

By the way this is a link with many pictures of how guys in Ukraine having fun.

Vlad,
Does the 21" wheel work well with the front fork?

CC

Yes it works good. Even when the front fork have a full stroke down I still have a gap between tyre and fender. Well from first day I bought my bike I was planning to have two pair of tyres (off-road and street). Now I have it. And to be honest I think I will not put my street tyre back. I like off-road one more.

Wow those pics on that website are sweet, Ukraine boys tearing it up on the xf200, right next to what looks like an Aprilla.

Guys, can you make me a favor and take few picture of your kick starter and place where its enter to gear box. I still have a doupts what to order and if its gonna work. Thanks.
