THIS!

Agree 100%. The market for a bike like this is defenitely out there. Do not regret it at all. Most people who see my bike think it's great and unique. Only one brother gives me a hard time about my moped LOL. My other brother chewed me out for not keeping it in the garage. He has a point.

Rode yesterday for a bit and engine kept hickuping. I think once it really warms up it's fine. I know I will eventually have to adjust the carb settings but I dont trust myself to do that. Gonna work on the rust a bit first and order my tool bag for now.

OK a while back this web page here has a bar on the bottom of my browser telling me I need to download and install the Flash Player HD to continue. Anybody else get this? Is this just for advertisements or is it a link to a virus or addware?

You probably have an outdated browser as they are like cell phones. As soon as you purchase it another version is already in the works so you can spend MORE money. Check your Windows update in your control panel.

Hey Guys! I got my bike this weekend. Everything looks just as it should.. minus a few small problems. The chain is SO TIGHT i do not even want to roll the bike around in fear it will damage the sprockets. The weird thing is that the tire is already adjusted at the most forward setting.. leaving to way to adjust the chain and loosen it. Good thing I have a small sprocket on the way. The grease fitting on the left foot peg was drilled on the top instead of on the bottom.. kinda silly but i just threw some flat paint on it and you dont really notice. There were a few other minor things like paint chips and such.. but i worked most of it out.

I pulled all the stripes off, changed the air filter to a slightly shorter one with a closed end, and swapped out the breather to a matching mini cone filter. IDK how it was on your bikes but the battery took me almost an hour to get in because it was VERY very hard to get the nuts and bolts through on the terminals.

Worst thing happened though.. when i was putting gas in her.. the top of my gas can was cross threaded and it poured all down my tank... it ate all the paint on the tank and now I have a streaked tank. It actually took the paint all the way off in a few spots. Really sucks.. I actually like the flat black in person.. I guess ill have to repaint it eventually.

Can you show me where the idle adjustment is? I fired it up last night and it seemed like it was running about half throttle. I could not for the life of me find it in the dark. Man this thing is loud.

While sitting on the bike and you look down towards the carb. on the right. it's the screw with a spring that sits between the cable and carb.

"Can you show me where the idle adjustment is? I fired it up last night and it seemed like it was running about half throttle. I could not for the life of me find it in the dark."

Bob the bobber, the Idle adjustment is on the side. On mine you have to stick a small screw driver through the the throttle control lever. Make sure your throttle cable is functioning correctly and has a full range of play and that it is closing all the way with just a tad of end play. The manual they sent should tell you in a Chinese sort of way how to do this.

Most likely the flat black is the same paint they use to paint the frame. Probably furnace paint ( bar-b-que black ). The tank comes off easy on the 2012 four threaded bolts. Tighten them down just snug to the rubber grommets when reinstalling.

My chain was tight when it came. Maybe a 1/4 inch play with no adjustment in. I've put 25 miles on it since I got it and it has loosened to about 3/8th with no apparent damage.

There is a instruction manual for the carb in this forum 10 or so pages back. If you have enabled private messaging I will send it to you.
