The resolution is actually quite simple ...

1) Take the "problem bikes" back to the factory
2) Analyze
3) Find solution
4) Provide solution

Personally, I have the resources to fix the bikes, but I am not going to do Jialing's job for it. Motorcycling is a recreational pursuit for me - I expect a new bike to operate properly for its intended purpose. I didn't buy a new bike to wrench on it, or acquire a shop full of diagnostic gear to do the factory's job. Over the years, I've acquired many junker and vintage bikes ... with my eyes wide open that I will be wrenching away ... you won't hear a single complaint from me when any of those bikes "break". However, a brand new bike, for me, is ... turn the key, ride away, perform required maintenance.

There seems to be this belief that the new 2011 JH600-A model with the 3.0 ECU is stall-free. Despite me hearing otherwise, let's assume that this is actually the "truth" - that is, the new JH600-A bikes do not stall.

OK ... the obvious questions are:

1) What was changed?
2) Why was it changed?
3) How are older bikes upgraded?

I've been told, time and again, that the pre 2011 bikes cannot be upgraded - what a complete pile of B.S.! Of course they can! Sheesh momma, I can install a whole new engine, tranny, wheels, exhaust, shift levers, mirrors ... whatever the hell I want! What no one seems to want to reveal, however, is what exactly was changed to supposedly make the JH600-A a stall-free bike (although I really doubt that it is).

And Jialing's response of advising owners that these bikes are always kept in tip-top perfect condition, with everything in perfect harmony, and perfectly clean ... come on ... get real. The JH600 is a dual-purpose bike! Their ads show these bikes going through sand, dirt and water. Both of my Jialings are maintained by me to the point of anal-retentiveness ... but I am not going to disassemble each bike after each ride and swab all electrical connections with a Q-Tip dipped in contact cleaner. I already have a vintage 40s Indian that demands that! Hahahaha.

If Jialing REALLY wanted to fix these bikes, it could - easy as pie. If Jialing REALLY wanted to provide customer service, it would work with us to get our pre JH600-A bikes upgraded, but it isn't. Frankly, I suspect that Jialing knows that the JH600-A is also experiencing difficulties. It wouldn't be too cool if they had us upgrade our bikes only to realize the problem is still there.

OK ... /rant ... I feel better now. Kinda

PS: Once again, kudos to Carl et al for providing this website. Anyone else remember the "bad old days" (pre WWW) ... we'd be on our own, each of us thinking we were the ONLY one experiencing problems, and easily subjected to the manufacturer claiming "it is the owner".
