Machines are machines. With the right tools and a sense of humour, you can certainly maintain your China bike.

Your clutch just needs a little adjustment. Start with the adjuster at the clutch lever; loosen the large nut that tightens against the perch, and then loosen the entire adjuster a few turns. Whne you pull on the lever, you should have a little freeplay, which shows as a slight gap between the lever and perch before you feel resistance.

Right now, your cable is not tight enough, but take care to not tighten it too far. There should always be the gap that I spoke of, not a terribly rigid lever.

Please show us pics of your headlight assembly, and we can guide you from there.
