Hi Jim,

No offence taken and I truly appreciate the info....I saw that they had a new dual sport version(QM200GY-B(SD) at the bike show but not the motard version(QM200GY-B(ASD) as stated in your reply.Did they bring in the motard version as well? I must say the motard version is impressive.

Jim, do you know if it is DOT approved?When they register them are they still considered off road (Dual sport version)?Warranty? Is it limited?

At the end of the day it is up to the purchaser in what he wants and the extra's in service and the after the sale commitment by the dealership..... thanks for the feedback.

Your not a cheap bugger Jim!....your a "Thrifty rider"

LOL, I see you found that...

I believe, and could be wrong here, that the dealer I spoke too told me they have 6 month warranty... So you've got them beat there, though in my opinion, and experience, I haven't needed the warranty in that time frame, and with parts on Chinese bikes being so cheap anyways, I'd rather a lower initial purchase price, and tough it out for parts if the issue came up. That's just my preference though, others will vary..

I don't KNOW for certain whether the bike is dot approved, I am assuming it is, and that it would be registered for the road, but I guess I would have to go back and ask... The dealer I talked to only had the Motard version, he didn't have the dual sport version. I know Konker had been working on getting it for quite a while now, I had been there (the main importer this time, not the dealer) probably the middle of last year, and they had one sitting in the show room but they weren't yet selling them, I think they were working on having them dot approved at the time?

Then again, here in BC it is pretty easy to register a bike for the road, I don't have any experience with other provinces...

Just as an FYI,

Our warranty program is a 1 yr/5000km parts and labour warranty with the option to purchase an additional extended 2 yr for I think $199.00 for the scooters and $249.00 for the enduro(Please forgive me..we just signed an agreement with Crossroads Warranty).

It's big money to DOT nationally...I hope there are no hiccups.

Yep, as I said, you do have them beat on warranty

I also am not certain about their dot certification one way or the other, maybe one day they will show up here and answer, as far as I am aware, they are, but I have no fact, I haven't spoken directly to the guys at Konker in months..

I believe but don't qoute me on this but I think:

The GY200's are 0.06mm -0.08mm for intake and 0.08mm and 0.10mm for the exhaust valve

The GY250's are .10mm-.15mm for intake and .15mm-.20mm for exhaust

I'm not a mechanic.... but Im sure someone will help out!

Thanks,

Brad

Considering 15cc-17cc = 1hp

247cc's = 14.5hp to 16.4hp

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad and all, I'm new here and have a few questions. I bought a 2009 Saga 250 privately this month with 2 km on it (brand new). My questions are what if anything can I do about warranty? I have erratic idling/stalling problems (I now have 250km), found the signal light switch wouldn't stay on left turn (loose screw on lever), cracks to bottom of windshield at mounting screws, tires way out of balance (adding Dyna Beads) and headlights aren't bright enough and aimed too low. Now the left amber lens in the tail light came loose and is rattling around in the housing. Is it possible to substitute a halogen bulb (I did it to my Yamaha 180cc)? Is there any way to raise the rear shock height as I lightly scrape bottom going through driveways. Once I wear out the rear tire I'd like to substitute a higher profile tire. All in all I think the scooter is pretty decent so far for the price range, but do have a few concerns.

Thanks, Ron

Hey there,

I just saw this post and thought Id chine in on here. The Konker ON ROAD warranty is 1 year, parts and Labour on everything. This warranty can be used Canada wide from dealer to dealer and not restricted to one dealership..

Also, we had a test ride from a non biased source who did a write up for anyone interested..
