    Goodness! This exactly why people get so down on China bikes isn't it? I would have hoped that by now, a few years into things, they has sorted this kind of ridiculous nonsense out. I hope you can be patient and I hope when you get the assembled beast it is efficient and all you hoped for. If it is any consolation, my Kinlon came in a smashed crate, was a different bike to what i had ordered and paid for, took a good few weeks more than stated for delivery, had parts missing and parts broken but after the initial set up, and some nervous kilometres, I have got to enjoy it and it is as they always say, you get what you pay for and what you get isn't too bad. Good luck mate.

    They are swapping bikes with me and they are going to assembly and prep it. I just have to go swap bikes with them. They are trying to make things right.

    Dear WJ, as you can see from other other posts we don't get much better care from the Chinese manufacturers over here in China. Bear this all in mind next time some smartass analyst starts to harp on about "China's rise" on CNN or Fox. China is great at filling orders that are designed elsewhere and roll in on the fax machine, but as long as the system here is based on obedience and fealty to grandma, China will be punching far, far below its enormous weight.

    cheers

    China has great potential but they have to learn from the west about making customers happy. The customer needs to be counted as the king.

    Thanks. I have been riding my new China-Moto in the snow and having a riot. I have already added a high output coil, no-rev limit cdi, and cut the stock muffler off and put a universal FMF 2- stroke spark arrester which lets the bike breath a little better and is a bit louder. The carb was set up so rich I don't think I'm going to have to re-jet.
