I'll be out of China for the Spring Festival. When I come back, the NK is up for a spring wash and a post-winter review :)

I've ridden the piss out of this bike, and it seems to be pretty, pretty, OK. That's all for now../
OK, I don't know how to delete my former post (was quite drunk when I did that and didn't remember it until the next morning when I woke up and my computer screen was on this page, DOH!)
I should have added that mine is the 2016 model. I have ridden this thing HARD. I mean very hard, and several times I've crashed HARD on the pavement. I'm converting it to supermoto soon, because the dirt tracks are too far from me without having to buy a truck to transport it to them. One issue - seems to be a faulty starter which you can buy off taobao (the CRF model I presume because it says "imported"). I just can't believe the abuse this thing has taken and not fallen apart. I had my expectations much lower to be quite honest, for a China bike.
Here's a lil' video I made of me in my suburb on the outskirts of Guangzhou. And, I say some stuff on the vid that - let me put it this way - DO NOT ATTEMPT to do certain things I do or that I talk about doing in regards to law enforcement.
Skip to the ten minute mark to see me make a really stupid mistake that could have gone much worse! And let me add that this was before the lunar new year, so lesson learned! I won't be repeating the same mistakes twice! I was not paying attention and did not know that there was any obstacle below when I jumped off the steps. All I could do was give it a shot of throttle when I came upon the stuff. Another DOH! And my monologue is pretty dumb and meandering in retrospect so pay it no mind. Ah, the joys of being bi-polar, haha!

Hello from Pakistan;
I just bought the LX450 and took it out for a spin its my first 450cc dirt bike..... and I am totally unaware of its goods and bads...
I was previously using a suzuki DR .... I hope this chinese thumper serves me well.... I chose this becuase I had an excellent experience with RX3 from zongshen
so I decided to try Chinese Enduro too...
Attachment 20053
Its now offerred with EFI and lot of "add ons" including Austrain suspension and Nissin Braking.... I was bit amazed when I saw the add-on list...those were some pretty high qaulity, the stock Fastace suspension is not bad either... atleast for weekend riders like us...
I opted for Carby LX450 becuase here in 3rd world we cant afford dead feul pump.... also no EFI trained mechnics to help out if any thing goes wrong.... carburators I am good at myself...so no worries...
@thepope what service cycle do you follow on your LX450 ? I mean the routing maintenance ?
