THIS IS IT.

Well we had a good run but this is the end. My bike had been unused and dare I say, unloved for the past six months. With two baby strollers two bicycles and a e-bike in my garage,...

And after 3 months of uneventful winter, my dearest motorbike has resumed active service in 4 kicks. Well the battery is dead but i already knew that. Anyway it looks better than ever with brand new...

A bit of black on the handlebars won't hurt but it's just cosmetic as it's a non rust alloy.

This bike is so simple that taking it apart takes about 3 hours tops. I wanted to open it up so I could clean the chassis, check the weldings for rust and if necessary brush/weld and coat with...

Hi Bikerdoc, I second that.

Foldie is what I wanted to buy when i lived in Chengdu, but I just relocated in a place with mountains, hence the Rockrider. But I drive a minivan and even with back...

Hi Guadalcanal,

you can try Merida which is from Taiwan and available on every corner in China and all the Giant, USA made in China bikes. All decent stuff. Sometimes a wee bit pricey.

My...

Thanks Euphonius. I appreciate.

China, China, China. A land where you can make anything out of solid recycled tin can, a land that boasts the finest plastics from the renowned factories of...

Hi MJH,

You are quite the source of information. Cheers for the adress of the FYM website. I was starting to think they had completely dissapeared.

Back to the part about the change of...

I never liked the front end of the bike. The rear might look classic but the square headlight was like a cheap version of a 1992 Ninja...with all but 11 hp in stock. You can't blame the designers for...

Yeah, i could film wrap it like a sandwich. Painting is an issue with this bike : the first time you paint over because you don't want your quasi new bike to look so old. But if you buy cheap aerosol...

I can't seem to add pics to my original post so here goes.

This is a picture of the bike in white once it was painted matt white and black. My wife seems happy there, but actually it was her first...

In my case airfilter was not an issue. If I could have had a properly sealed tank, a good fuel filter with a seethrough decanter to check water level in the fuel, i think it would have saved me time....

Hi Zorge

Surprisingly the air filter didn't have a problem. But it's a pain in the ass to dislodge from the chassis, so i have only ever opened it twice. I have driven in four sandstorms and sand...

This is the story of my first 10000km with my beloved FYM 150-3. It explains why i bought such a cheapo bike, how it has always performed well, and how much time and money i have spent on maintenance...

Hi Harbinsteve,

I don't have the price for your bike. But where i live in north jiangsu - cheap area- there is no shiny chopper with front disk brake and oil cooling for 4 to 5000RMB.

At least...

Hi,

I am thinking about buying a new bike and I would like to find a "Which bike to choose" thread. I think people on this web site have exactly the kind of information I am looking for. So...
