    Those too but I was thinking the cap for the flywheel bolt. Now I'm thnking these photos were taken either before or after the valve adjustment.

    Also, there something missing from this picture?

    OK, you caught me... a few pieces missing while I had her opened up for the valve adjustment

    As soon as I get the rest of my parts, I plan on a little more extended road (and off-road) testing. So far, I don't really feel much difference in the weight, according to QQ, it's only a 6 kilo difference.

    Cheers!

    Not complaining, just making sure the bike came with it!

    Reason I asked about the weight is because the engine case looks bigger than the 200 version. Maybe it's just the images?

    I think it is bigger, The first picture on page 3 is showing 1400ml on the side of the case. My XF200 has 1000ml on it's case side.

    It does look a tad larger in certain areas, but overall dimensions appear quite close. Some of the engine brackets are a little different than the 200, but it still has the same mounting points in the frame. I'm tempted to look under the clutch and stator covers, but if I tear one of the gaskets, there's little hope of getting a new one in a reasonable time frame.

    I'm going to try and head up to Jinan next week to sort out some of the parts problems.

    Cheers!

    ChinaV that bike looks great in its simplicity of service also...

    the photos are great ...the 2 sets of wheels is a great advantage..the alloy rims should make a difference also..

    Mythy in Ozstralia !

    My dealer said he had no idea when it would be coming but confirmed what is obviously already known ( the existence of the 250 model ) and said maybe at summers end it would be ready. Seems summer would be the time to release though.

    As it's quite difficult to deal with the factory via phone and e-mail, I have decided to fly up to Jinan to get the parts I need. I will be in Jinan on July 1 thru July 3 visiting the mother ship (Qing Qi).

    If you guys have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them here or send me a PM.

    Are there any good motorcycle/parts markets I should be aware of in Jinan?

    Cheers

    Not aware of any serious parts markets but maybe you can meet ZMC up there since he's not too far away.

    You want me to drop a line to my contact at QingQi and see if he has any suggestions?
