Dear Artop,

What you see is what you get! As far as we know, there is ONLY a Chinese version of the JH600 parts manual. But this will give you the exploded diagram of the engine.

Incidentally, the engine was designed (and initially built) by an Austrian company called AVL. I've not looked, but you may find something on their website.

Good luck!

Hey artop,

very interesting to see, that our JH600 engine is being used for other purposes than motorcycles as well. I am wondering about some more details. Can you send some pictures of the engine inside the kart? I am curious especially about:

- Exhaust system
- Air-filter box
- fuel injection system

Are there parts available in Spain? Maybe engine tuning parts? Can't find a lot on the two links you sent - except for the videos, they are great....

Thanks for posting.
Cheers,
AW.

Hi,

traveling in China requiers sometimes some DIY repairs. Maybe a flat tire or a simple oil change, we all have read here a lot about having such jobs done locally and worse, without looking over the specialists shoulders... (like requiring an oil change, which resulted in having the engine filled up with oil, without removing the old oil at all!!!).

So, we need to carry tools. Tools are heavy and are not needed all the time. A good location on the bike therefore is to carry it low and in front (since most of the load is already at the back of the bike).

My guys in Fuhzou want to do another job and since I am not up there for a while again, I thought this would be a good exercise.

The idea is, to place a toolbox right below the radiator, using the tubes of the engine guard to fix it. Here are the first drafts:

There are already some solutions out there. some are rather simple, cheap but functional DIY:

Some nice solutions from Touratech:

Or other heavier integrated solutions:

As above seen, those are first drafts. We'll keep you posted on progress. Any suggestions, ideas, wishes,... Please post here.

Update 1:

Well, I have been out of China for a while for business (as usual) but my team continued the project. I just received the bellow photos of a new mudguard, made of hard aluminum material, which had to be welded, because it cannot be bent. A separate toolbox can be attached to it for the big trip. I will be up in Fuzhou on Tuesday finally to give you some more details. Here the pictures:

Update 2:

As mentioned previously, we miscalculated the dimensions of the box a little, so on my first test-ride, it happened,that the 21inch front-wheel was touching the box, when the front suspension was compressed, for example during strong break action. The result you can see bellow:

Meanwhile I have also purchased a nice little tool-roll (the tools and parts will be changed according to JH600 needs).

The current design had not only to be changed because of the front-wheel, but also because this tool-roll was not fitting in it.

Luckily the work was not for nothing, another MCM member offered a very valuable trade-in

in exchange for the part.

Here now the bike with the new version attached:

The tool-roll fits in nicely:

Now the whole unit needs to go for anodizing and all will be set for now.

Cheers,
AW.

...back to overview.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Great idea, makes a lot of sense to store the tools there! Looking forward to this one!

Well, I wish I could do more but this year I only have 4 weeks left for China on my calendar - and not all of them in Fuzhou... Luckily I got my guys who continue a bit on the project while I'm on tour...

Keep you posted and glad you like the work.

I am first in line to buy one from you. I wanna take my JH600 out of cold storage this year. And I think I might need to fix many things since it has been a full year that I have not taken care of her
