JH600B maintenance work in shanghai

[nostalgie]

I began to love my JH600B as it's tools free, at least, the first 10000km really without any maintenance.

During my second 10000km, I've changed 1 gel-battery, 1 chain with the rear sprocket and guide rubber, 1 starter, 1 camshaft, 2 sensor of crankshaft, 3 tires.

And now the engine must be opened from both side, just to change another 2 broken piece, they are: the starter cluch, and the spring of lever for changing 1~4 speed.

Here are the photos of the maintenance job, how magic the local workers are!

once open the left side, several metal balls of the starter clutch runs out by themselves:

workers take off the starter clutch by their way, and fitted the new one with the help of glue:

then they opened the right side, try to take out the broken spring of lever, then fix a good one into:

the broken reason for the starter cluch, the lever's spring and the camshaft are the same: a poor refinement and finishing of the steel. well, this usually be found from the pieces made by suppliers.

ok, after changing and filling in the new synthetic oil as well as the cooling liquid, my Jialing JH600B works greatly with Harleys!

Wow , that's terrible. I can't imagine a bike needing that much stuff after only 10,000km. I just changed the chain and sprockets on my Wee after 37,000km. You should have also changed the front sprocket as these items all wear together. Don't buy chain from China, it eats your sprockets and doesn't last very long. Buy a good quality X-Ring chain on taobao.com and you won't need to change again for at least 25,000km.

Glad to see she's back on the road and your enjoying it!

Cheers!

Jeez, only after 10,000km. This really does not instill confidence in us JH600 owners.
By the way, this is clearly not done at 小范's. Maybe you should make this shop known to all Shanghai JH600 comrades so we know where to turn when we also need to have engine job done.

I second Milton's thought: Let's share information about good mechanics here in Shanghai. 小范 is a nice guy, but if he opens up your JH600 it'll likely be his first time.

Another thought: How about we ask Jialing to organize a tech day here in Shanghai next time 老周 is in town? We could do this at 小范's and have all of us come at the same time, and learn from the master how to pull the valve cover to check valve clearances, and other routine maintenance items. I'll always feel more comfortable doing these things myself, but a little TLC from Jialing would help things along.

This is a good way to keep our hands on our bikes during the winter months!

cheers!

hello JiaLing riders, my sidecar has already been on service 22000km+. as i've mentioned, the first 10000km without any problem, then the second 10000km began to meet one after another surprise. hahaha, i think it will be ok from now on...

I feel confident to give my JH600B to Mr.CUI eachtime she's got ill. His shop located in Pudong, at the cross road of ChengShan road and BoHua road (see http://j.map.baidu.com/dbxA). He's a good guy live with his father+brother+wife+daught+son, and he is capable to repaire from a 1985's 2-stroke Honda to a 2010's B-king, R1, Ducati Monster, etc. 图像1315.jpg

And for the price, he works so hard the whole morning around 3 hours with his brother, just ask for 50rmb, I gave him the double always.

since he has treated all the electrical/mechanical problem of my JH600B and CBF150 successfully, you may drive your motor to his shop directly and told my name Daniel MAO.

Thanks Daniel for the info. Looks like a great mechanic to go to.
It is not all that bad if it only costs 100RMB for an open heart surgery on JH600. I hope your bike is as good as new now and lasts at least for another 10,000km without surprises.
