Zhu, Great, thanks for the speedy reply, I have a translator I just worry about the inability to speak motorcycle-ese. I will try to get some more info and post it up on here. You have 10000km on the stock bike the way it came from the factory? and what about an equipment list that you replaced? Would you recomment getting the cast aluminum wheels for it to keep that from happening further down the road? Or is the added weight too much? I really appreciate your taking the time to tell me about the bike. How far is Yangzhou from Beijing?

Thanks, Marty

like all cheap chinese bikes it is not without some problems but nothing serious

i have 10,000km on mine and it is still going well



just had to replace the chain, cush drive bushes, swing arm bushes, spokes

pretty much the whole driveline actually

all cheap parts to replace just a shame the builder didnt do it in the first place.....

you can get them with any wheels tires you want also any engine from 150 - 250

find a local to communicate with him because his english is about as good as my chinese
