    Ha! Pretty sure that was the same wrench style that the "mechanic" used on my first oil filter change! Must be in the training manual......

    That's why they call it a monkey wrench. Although it can be considered a man sized multi tool, able to adjust the the engine idle rpm or if necessary the attitude of errant cage pilots.
    Here you can see some of Willems fine fleet of 600's at the Thai/Laos border.

    After one of the tour riders crashed and had to be flown out they took my spanner off me and told me to ride the bike back to Xishuangbanna. After 1000 km I decided if it had better shocks and forks I could probably live with it.

    Wilburs !

    Yea, I changed the suspension out immediately on Big Blue and it did indeed make a positive difference. Of course I do not be curse the Jialing company too badly over a cheap suspension as I am also having to change out the suspension on my new F800GS and it is not a cheap bike!

    Company "Bean" counters are usually small guys who do not ride motorcycles.....

    Bean counters gotta count it's what they do. That duke in my avatar had white power shocks both ends , brembo brakes and flash wheels whose name I forget but cost three grand a pair. Thing is that was a bike where you had to look real hard to find something you could improve. I just rode it for 400 hours on the engine meter and changed the oil every meeting.

    Race bikes are one thing and road bikes another but some nice suspension sure makes a long day more enjoyable. I also found the Jialing would slide quite early because the shock was not really keeping up with the bumps and the bike would get light coming out of corners. It's got lots of rake though so it doesn't want to spit you off into a ditch.

    My two cents

    So I bought Texas Aggies JH 600 and it just turned up today on a truck. The bike is every bit as nice as he described and included all the farkles he listed here. Many thanks to Texas Aggie and his wife for the effort to get the bike transferred legally from one place to another.

    ShuBen,

    I heard you are staying in Beijing for now. On the bright side, you have access to some of the best roads in China to ride!
