Oh, that one is marvellous!
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 :)

Turns out the story of my AsiaWing doesn't end up here. It surfaced again. It's still in Nanjing, retrofitted with the dirt tires. With all the instruments and headlight/stoplight removed. Some dude...

That'd've landed me in a local prison for starting some religious cult or something similar :)
Anyways, I've owned a bike that could be disassembled with a couple of span-wrenches and a screwdriver....

OK, so after a little bit more than half a year and over 7K yuan put into the Asiawing LX 450 bike I must admit - it got better. Better than a complete POS it turned into after a couple of months'...

True:)

milton, lots of tips in that book refer to the engines that aren't around any more. It's more, say, an exercise in practical wisdom rather than a certain manual.

OK, so everything's been fine since the last month major overhaul, when suddenly the rear wheel spokes started snapping up. Three of them gone in a day. Luckily I had a set of cross-country 嘉陵大白菜 17'...

The book is ... a treasure!

Actually, I assembled that computer in a Thermaltake case a couple of months ago. And I know for sure that case has super huge super flat super fan on its side. And it's cheap as well. I even think I...

Will probably have to do it eventually, subframe's no big deal. Real problem will be enough clearance for the radiators. Will do it in September earliest - got no time at all now :(

Hi Morfar, thanks for the link. Will think about it.

After I installed free flow exhaust the bike started backfiring like crazy. Put the baffle in - problem solved. No backfiring, no smoke, steady idle, nice pull through RPMs. May as well not be the...

Sure, riding faster would be a solution. I'd rather have it stop overheating in daily traffic, though. That's challenging, but I guess somehow possible. Heard about that water wetter and there was...

The Chinese Beast of a Motard is doing fine. Has been reliable so far and...WOW...the spokes don't snap-up! Achievement!
Problem now:
I have a Boyesen high-speed pump and an additional fan on the...

Will ride it further, I guess. No BBQ as of yet :)
The bag doesn't bent the side panel, it's OK for the muffler clearance. At least the panel hasn't started smoking yet so I assume it'll be fine....

OK, so before doing away with the 亚翔 in some unsightly way, laoban and me decided to give it one final shot.
The list of replacement parts included:

Front Rim 17 – 3.5:...

It'd be ironic in a big way if I loosened it all and the thing stopped malfunctioning :)

OK, so after 4 burnt regulator-rectifiers I felt that might go down to the battery cables (or their connection). Turns out power wire (+) that goes from the battery to the starter relay was...

Yeah, maybe I should treat it like my personal assembly kit. Chinese take on LEGO for adults :)
Actually I've already put quite a lot of effort in diassembling/assembling it (properly) that I feel...

Well, a non-reliable bike from a non-reliable company. TIC.

The same phone number is on the Asiawing website, "contact us" section:
http://www.asiawing.com/direct_view.asp?c_id=7
Sent them an email, see if they answer it.

Texted him first thing in the morning - no answer. Called him - the call goes through but nobody pics up.

I speak basic Chinese, should be enough to ask him a couple of questions :)
Thank you!

:)
But where's the fun??
"useless noise" is that the Db level doesn't quite match the Nm level that thing has.

Yeah, that'd be great!
Appreciated.
