    Hello,
    I just got my Long March two days ago. I had a cruiser 3 years ago, never a thumper before. I had no idea it would be such fun. Roads? Who needs roads..

    Electric cables were not insulated. Amalgam tape.

    Bike vibrates too much if i reach 80km/h. How to fix this ? I've seen some bikes put heavy weight on the bar end to make it heavier, does that work?
    Also, I've been told that i should not be riding over 60km/h for the breakin period, and i've read there is no such thing as break-in period on modern engines . I'm going easy on it for now.

    No fuel meter, but tank has reserve, so i get a warning before im completely empty. Duel tank does not have a lock, and i don't think it's possible to fix this. Any ideas?

    New steering clamp is different than the original that broke with Supersignet and different that the redesigned one posted here Hope this one does not break.


    Also, the choke lever has three positions, i don't which is what. Any ideas?
    Road tires felt weird for the first few rides. I could feel the bike wobble too much. But it's the first time i've had a dirt bike. Getting used to it now, i still have to try to breaking hard on some empty road and see if i can handle the bike comfortably.
