Hello from New Zealand! A little help sourcing some parts please!

Hello there,

I have just purchased a Keeway speed 150 motorcycle,
I believe the mother company of Keeway is Qianjiang,

I have picked the bike up as a project and need some parts but I am unable to find anything anywhere?
could somebody please point me to an international website that supplies a full range of parts for these bikes?
Or at least a similar more popular model bike that is similar/the same.

Parts required at the moment:

Clutch cable
Clutch lever on motor
Ignition barrel and fuel cap with matching keys
Kick start lever

and a few other bits and bobs
Any help would be appreciated, thank you :)

What did ebay say about the parts?

Actually, taobao is your best choice, but you'll need a "forwarding" company to do the purchase and shipping for you. There are some threads about that around here.

Thank you for the reply,
I couldnt see a damn thing on Ebay, are there any other sites that dont require forwarding?

I know Yamaha have a Yamaha ybr 125, does anyone know if parts from this might be interchangeable with my 150?

Bike's shape is like Suzi EN.
Clutch cable -with legth measurement, u can find it in ur local bike shop.
Ignition barrel and fuel cap with matching keys http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13512757509
Clutch lever / Kick start lever -Isn't these just std CG125 parts found on genuine Honda & clone.

Welcome to MCM and the world of fun and interesting but almost anonymous China bikes! I'd guess there's probably a dozen different brands around the world slapped on that bike of yours, and Keeway is just one. So searching for the brand is not so useful. Krasi is right that taobao will be your best source, but it's complicated by the fact that it's in Chinese. Use the Google Chrome browser and you can have everything (roughly) translated instantly. In Chinese, try searching in Taobao.com for 钱江150 and see what comes up.

OK, I'll make it easy for you. Click here.

This thread about Lexmoto and Pulse in the UK has a very good VisorDown article about Chinabikes in the UK, and parts support there. Have a read and see if that chinesemotorcyclepartsonline doesn't help at all.

cheers!

That UK site does not have the parts for his bike, it would probably be best to go through the list of dealers in NZ for Keeway and make your request. http://www.keeway.co.nz/dealers.html




This company sells part for your bike, but they are a wholesaler you could ask them for a name of a retailer? If they will not sell you what you need..
http://jd-motor.en.alibaba.com/produ...oto_parts.html
Here is their home page…
http://www.jdmoto.com/systemparts.asp?nodecode=00010003




I would suggest you contact each dealer of Keeway in NZ, then if any tell you they do not or cannot get your parts then send them the link to J&D and suggest they order some?


You would really have trouble getting the parts you want through the use of a Taobao and an interpreter. If you cannot identify the specific part you need on the Taobao site for the interpreter, the interpreter needs you to send them a direct link to what you want, if you ask them to find it for you, they will not likely even respond to you.
If its not specifically listed then how can you find it, then if you cannot find it how can you buy it?


You would need to have pictures of each part and send them to the interpreter and they would likely ignore your inquiry.

Keeway NZ is a bit slack and the local dealers are just as bad,
However I did find a site www.engtaobao.com/ which you put the taobao link into and it sorts the rest out for you.
The best I could do for finding the right stuff was doing a google search of the engine number which was QJ162FMJ as it looks like I may need new rings in the cylinder.
Bike is not running, has spark and fuel and some compression but maybe not enough

The parts manual: http://suzumamoto2.com/descargas/emp..._2008_2009.pdf
Record the pg # & parts # , we can find somthing sutiable for ur bike in taobao.

Another Taobao agent to try is www.taobaofocus.com. MCM gurus like humanbeing are great at helping sleuth out stuff in Taobao, but you need to sort out the export and payment, which is what these agents do. Haven't heard of the one you found. If you do use it, please post about your experience.

There are at least two threads about taobao agents, here and here (though I don't think Taobao has anything to do with eBay).

cheers!

According to http://www.buywinmotor.com/download/...art%20book.xls
Parts b4 5 Mar 2010 (#<0146042) | after 5 Mar 2010 (#>0146042) had difference. Domestic bike are fitted with light weight piston (13mm pin). Don't know what's inside ur bike.

Kick start lever shaped as "S" for Honda clone jammed on Suzi body. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13755371996 had measurement.

Those guys in bucket racing forum may have a instead answer for suitable cable/ lever(s).

welcome here and nice to have you on the forum .

but i have to say if it was me i would just go to a local wrecker and buy what fits for the body parts

piston and rings or other small bits just measure them up and i will post them to you

Thank you for both replies,

@Humanbeing
The bike I have here is a 2008 so I dont think it will have that light weight pin mentioned.
That kick start lever is spot on also.

@zhu
Thank you for that, the site I was going to use that I mentioned before as an agent site used EMS as the cheapest option, having a look at that link you just gave me, looks like that kick start lever alone would cost me a further $30ish the lever itself is only $3ish haha.

As for local wreckers where I am here in NZ we dont have anything local or close by


Before I order anything I need to determine why the bike is not running,
So tomorrow im buying a new spark plug and Battery, the current plug appears fine and is has a 0.9mm gap but its best to be safer than sorry,
I picked the bike up in rough condition, tidy cosmetically but has been sitting for a while which is why im thinking it could be rings,
it turns over well enough with a jump start pack,
but it doesnt want to fire, it is getting fuel and its getting spark and making some compression so im hoping swapping out for a new plug and battery will be a good start.

Thank you again for the help thus far.

This needs checked along with some other things,
but I dont believe it will be the issue, The bike is relatively new, 8,000km it was stolen and recovered and sold on at action,
and sat around for a few years untouched now I have the bike and I plan on getting it back on the road as a bit of a hack, I normally ride a Suzuki SV1000s.

It could be a few things I.E
Timing problem,
Low Combustion caused by failed rings or possibly a cracked valve or possibly a lifter.

The bike looks great, considering its colorful history. I'm curious if the bike was recovered after a theft, presumably by the police, was it not returned to its rightful owner? If so, how did it end up being auctioned?

I reckon she'll feel a bit underwhelming if you're used to a kilobike, but these little China bikes can be nimble and fun. Great for getting around town, or, in your case, out of town to all kinds of gorgeous places in your spectacular country.

Keep us posted, and more pix please!

cheers

The bike was declared stolen then the original owner claimed insurance which means when the bike is recovered it becomes the property of the Insurance company then it is auctioned off,

I actually seen this bike for sale 7 months ago from another person who wanted a fair bit more for it, and I was going to pay it but someone bet me to it,
Funny it should pop up again for 1/8th of the original price.

I originally wanted a dual purpose bike, I used to have a Hyosung GT650R and I was taking it offroad almost as much as I was riding on the road haha, my partner also wants to learn how to ride a bike so the plan was to find a cheap dual purpose bike and get it back on the road, however I found this little Gem and the tyres that are on it could almost pass as dual purpose tyres, so win win.

More pictures

Also just realised maybe some of you might be interested in my youtube channel, nothing great.. some average riding but some pretty neat scenery.

Thanks for the pix. Looks like you got yourself a sweet deal. Bike looks great, save for a bit of rust here and there. Love the analog dash. Transmission is a standard one down, four up, right?

I think you'll have some fun on that bike, and your companion cannot find a better bike for learning to ride.

thanks for the vides. That waterfront highway looks like Route 1 along Tomales Bay in California...

cheers

I used to live down there it runs parallel to our harbour and is actually just a normal road, which I kinda treat as a race track.... haha

The other side is just as good but I dont think I have any videos on that side,
There is also a top road that goes back over I have a video on my old VFR 400 of that one.

And yes standard gear box 1 down four up,
the rust on the chrome isnt too much of a problem, There is however a little bit needing attention on the swing arm but once the bike is running I will sand blast the frame and powder coat it.

Thank you!

Got some quotes on prices from Keeway New Zealand,
For example a Lock kit was $160..

I just done an order using an Agent via Taobao it has come to $71 but I need to wait for the order to be complete before I get charged freight to NZ but im guessing around $100.
So win win.

Attachment 11004

had the valve cover off today to check if the valves are actually moving,
They are fine and all working well and the clearances are good.

Also had the carb off and gave it a good clean and the exhaust is off too.
