Zongshen Sierra oil leek or not ?
 

Hi
Im regularly changeing my oil in my zongshen, every 3 months or 4 000km. Every time i put 1 liter of oil. Today i replaced oil after 3 months of riding. When i was changeing oil i noticed that there was smaller amount of old oil (<1 L). So i took the old oil and put it in plastic bottle with measure scale, and it was only 0.9 L of oil. So my question is, is it normal to loose 0.1L oil in three months of riding (about 3 000km) ?


Sorry for bad english :oops:
Thanks

I would say you are doing really good. These little engines are worked hard so a small amount of use like that over 3-4K kms is pretty low. I tend to change every 1-2K kms. I run mine hard and will see alittle bit of oil use in that time.

Max, your English is excellent! :) I always enjoy reading your posts.

Is your Zongshen 200GY-2 still running well? How many miles have you traveled on it so far?

Spud :)

Thanks! Well, recently ago my odometer stoped at 16743km :? , i dont know why? the other odometer (small one,resetable) is working. I will reasamble it, see whats wrong.
By the way, motorcycle is running strong, excellent bike :P [/quote]

If I remember correctly, someone else had a similar problem with their speedometer. The needle was loose on the shaft it rides on. Maybe a little glue to secure it again?

I opened the speedometer, here is what i found :( , a small light bulb 5W inside the speedometer generated too much heat has melted the odometer plastic numbers. So i recomend you to replace the regular bulb with LED one before it happens to you.

Yep the oil usage is normal. Nice find on the odometer!

Wow! Over ten thousand miles and the Zong is still running strong! :D I agree, Max, for its price the Zongshen 200GY-2 is an excellent little bike. :wink:

Thank you for posting the tip concerning the melted odometer wheel! I believe my Zong speedometer was originally illuminated by two, 3-watt incandescent bulbs. However, after they burned out I replaced them with two LED bulbs. In addition to being cooler, the LED bulbs I purchased are brighter and much more resistant to the harsh vibration I encounter when riding in the dirt. I got my LEDs from the following vendor:

My speedometer uses wedge base bulbs. Therefore, I bought the WLED-W4 bulbs, and I love them. :D
