Desert rats?
 

With winter approaching, the temps here in the desert have dropped to a much more humane level. If anyone's ever interested in riding the Mojave area let me know....Miles and miles of riding out here. Culcune, do you ever hit Ocotillo?

I just got the Jetmoto rolling again with a new Lifan motor, rode it for 2 and a half days, and the tranny went out :x I have never been there riding, but wanted to get that way, but now....? We'll see if plan B comes to fruition!

Wow, the tranny on a Lifan motor went out?.....that's unusual. Got a warranty on the motor?

It happened to me, developed a BIG vibration under load. It was replaced under warranty though.

Culcune,
What do you mean when you say your tranny went out? What happened???

Like Frostbite said with his, there were a few days of big vibrations. I attributed it to it being a Lifan motor (the LIfan, according to the press releases, was just upgraded this year to account for the vibrations, if I remember correctly).

I was just riding, and the thing would not "catch" gear anymore. I rolled to a stop, and no more shifting! My bike, had, once again, managed to strand me, and the engine only had about 200 kms (the oil was changed before the first ride).

I am giving up on this bike as it has managed to eat through 2 engines, somehow. I am trading it on parts and labor for a fuel pump/installation into my Buick which will be my primary mode of transportation until the next bike sometime in January or February. (Qlink XF200?!)

I tried, with no success, to get approved on a new UM SMF-200 enduro, but that was through my own bank, and my credit wasn't as bad as I had thought, so maybe there is some hope for one of those through a finance company.
