#1 Hi introduction from Alberta Canada12-21-2012, 01:11 AM
Hi guys,
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
LP here from just outside of Calgary, happy new owner of a new 2010 Shineray "Long March"
Bought the bike 2 days ago, it is still on layaway at the dealer until the end of March. With the long cold winters here, I didn't want to bring it home 'till the spring, no point for it to sit in my garage doin nothing and the only six month warranty starts the day you take it out of the shop. This way I'll be covered for the whole summer so if there is anything wrong, I'm hoping it will show up before my warranty is up.
I bought the last bike they had in stock for a very reasonable price. Based on the readups on this site and on the net, it sounds like I'll be very happy with the bike for the price that I paid for it which was dealer cost (I'm told)
Anyway great site, and good job from everybody trying to help people, hope to do the same once I get to know about the bike.
Also, If anyone has an owner or service manual for the Long March 2010 model and wouldn't mind sharing a digital copy of, would be much appreciated!
Best regards,
LP

Hello and welcome!
Let me guess: you wanted to be original, so, as opposed to the average inhabitants of Alberta, who buy a snowmobiles, you picked a motorcycle?Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

Hi Zorge,

Have a good one!

Welcome!
You have some fantastic riding nearby, in the foothills ... and not much further afield, the Rockies!
Good luck with your Shineray - several people here have them

I do not think you'll find service manual particularly for the Long March, but I think it will be helpful to you any service manual for the bike with the same engine.

12-22-2012, 09:53 AMGreetings, LP, and welcome to MCM. Looking forward to seeing your pix and posts and ride reports once the spring thaw arrives!
Isn't the Long March the same model that GRF_pete and GRF_hans rode into Southeast Asia? And Slabo in Kunming?
Click "advanced search" up in the righthand corner, and search for Shineray; you'll find a lot of links, methinks. Maybe even the manual you seek.
cheers

Hi Slabo
Tried that link, didn't work, also tried some others for the xl185 etc. they all want money...
But thanks for the response, hope you have a great Christmas.

12-24-2012, 01:16 PMHi coldrider, as you may have seen in old threads, I also have a Long March (same year!). Though slightly underpowered, it is a beast of a workhorse. Originally from Canada as well but currently live in SEA. Ive had no issues so far and have ridden thousands of kms. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay? I have the service manual youre looking for and ill send you a new link in a few days. Im currently in a small Cambodian provincial town on yet another trip with the shineray and writing on my tiny phone is a bit if a pain. Ill post some of my ride reports here as well. I've written extensive ones but on other forums. Nice to have another shineray owner so we can discuss rides, upgrades, repairs etc. Be sure to post here. Becomes a mine of info for future owners. Btw ive recently changed the battery again despite it only being 8 months old (but average for cheap chinese batteries here is around a year so its not too bad i guess. Was worried it might have to change the dynamo). Post some pics once spring comes!
Btw, i think were the only two current owners on the forum, though there are several previous owners who are helpful.
