Shuben,
Many thanks for this great review detailing your experiences of your ownership of your Shineray X5, after reading this I am 100% convinced of getting one of these for me. It is just the sort of bike I like and appreciate, not quite the Yamaha 660 Teneré I had promised myself but in China not everything is possible. Many thanks again.Previous bikes . yamaha DT 50, DT 125, DT 250, DT 400, XT 500. Ossa 350 Trial, Ossa Mike Andrews replica. And now a Yamaha XTZ125 here in China.
Biking is like sex :- you don't have to be good at it to enjoy

bad news today - my high/low beam headlight switch is "kaputt".
It stuck in after pressing and doesn't come out. I pulled it gentle with a pliers, it came out but doesn't work anymore.
I requested a replacement free of charge from the dealer who agreed because of warranty period. Lets see how long it will take to get it.
EDIT: I have solved the issue temporary by bridging the switch. So when I switch on the light now from main switch it is automatically in low beam. High beam doesn't work now, but at least I can go with light during the day and for dark times i can go safe and slow.Last edited by ShuBen; 09-18-2013 at 01:28 PM.

SAFETY ISSUE!
X5 Owners, Check your spokes, especially rear wheel. I lost two and others getting lose.
It happened on a normal mountain tour.

I had a similar issue with my qm200gy, the rear spokes started to break, but all at the same time... I was on a long trip and it was one of the most frustrating things as none of the small bike shops carried spokes that could fit... eventually I found a shop who had sone old bent second hand spokes that were almost the same size... but he didn't have enough, and more and more started to break as I went along... it was horrible! I'm planning to buy an X5, guess I'll buy and carry a dozen spare spokes with me on any long trips

SERIOUS WARNING! Check you X5 carefully for the spoke issue!
clock 7800km
what Serpentza described is exactly what happened on my X5 too. I just had not seen it.
Yesterday It was looking just like two spokes.
For safety reason I took out the wheel today and I found 9! spokes on the sprocket side broken + the 2 found yesterday already. On all spokes the head is gone inside the hub!
You might be able to see this in build in condition when you look between swing arm and the hub.
