Benelli BJ600GS - lessons learned

Whoa there Sammy, a bit sensitive or what? You really need to keep small niggles like this in perspective, on what is a Chinese bike, purely a small factory assembly error.
I've been rebuilding my current bike for the last three years so the bloody thing can run properly.

Also what's the point in trying to second-guess 998? He knows his stuff.

I would be upset if the sprocket was not secured with a loose/damaged bolt and then I had to disassemble the wheel.
You should inspect those Cush Drive Inserts periodically for uneven wear, a quarter turn every so often.

Just for a perspective on quality.

Is that what your father told you, "son, when you out there, take care your rubber!"?

Mine did, told me never play in the rain without your rubbers.

See example

Jokes aside - details made of rubber are one of the worst things on Chinese motorcycles.

SammyDV, hoping to hear more about your adventures with the Benelli BJ600GS. I was just looking at these yesterday and very nearly bought one. It's been at least another month now, how are the 2 of you getting on?

I can't help you with experience, but if you happen to buy one, you definitely have to pass by to show her off.
I sold my Suzuki, and the Chang Jiang is getting de-registered right now, so .....
Any discount if you buy two :-)?

Hi Guys,

Overall how is the quality of this bike so far and how far km's have you all made on this bike. Appreciate the feed back as I wish to buy one soon. Thank you.

Change the engine oil as soon as the bike arrived because I dont really know the oil quality from the factory.
The oil is very dirty and lost of metal grains sticked to the oil screw magnet.
Guess I am not the only one here.
