You're saying exactly what i'm thinking Prince. Gonna have do some taobao searching to try and find some alternative jets. If anyone has links or suggestions i'd be happy to hear them :icon10: It's...

Sorry guys, no idea why some of these photos are uploading sideways :eek2: will try to fix later.

Have any other owners of this bike considered putting a beefier carby...

A week later we decided to go on a camping trip to a national park just north of Chengdu. Here's a couple of pics

Hey guys. Just thought i'd post a little update on the X5. Iv'e put around 1500km's on it now and apart from 1 issue she's running really well. I loosely followed Shuben's break-in procedure and the...

I just took delivery of the latest model of the X5 so i'll write an ongoing review of how the bike holds up during break in and on an upcoming road trip this summer. I've only put 80 k's on it thus...

Gutted i missed out on this. Got yourself a real bargain there Tony.

The ones in Chengdu usually play an ice-cream truck type song too. My favourite are those riot-grade water cannons they use to water trees and plants to within an inch of their lives. I'd do that job.

I was looking at a similar route through the stans but it seems a carnet is required for Iran. That puts me off, which is a shame because Iran looks like an amazing place to ride.

Thanks for sharing. It's great that your guide was willing to ride pillion. What a legend!

In my experience i found that the local countryside people tend to drive a lot more reasonably than the people in their Audi4x4's out for a weekend drive. Fair comment about those bus drivers though....

Hi ChinaV. I'll do my best to take as many photos as possible (of bikes AND promo girls) though i'll only be using my phone.

Zhu, myself and a few more Chengdu based riders will be heading there this year. It'll be my first time going there so i'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a lot more entertaining...

Great report fellas. A lot of us are put off with Teebet proper due to cost and red tape associated with it, but this RR really makes one think twice bout that. Keep it coming. :popcorn:

Theres a superleggera parked in the spot next to my bike here in my housing community in Chengdu. No.18 of 500. Hopefully i wont scuff up his nice titanium muffler with my footpegs.

edit: Yes, it...

Did you guys consider camping at all?

Where is Pat? Long time no update. Hope ya alright mate. Really enjoying this RR so far

20k for how many days?

Hey Pat. I'm new to the forum and I gotta say i'm loving your ride report so far. Really inspirational stuff. Eagerly awaiting updates
