TOTALLY DISAGREE JAY.

My experiences with THREE chinese motorcycles Ibought in the last couple of years have been predictable and rewarding. Predictable in the sense that I knew there would be some issues, but rewarding since all three run GREAT, deliver excellent fuel economy, start up instantly, show no signs of excessive wear or premature failure. We ride them all the time.

Exception... OEM chains are OK, but need to be replaced at some point-noisy mostly, but work OK (knew this going in!).

I am no chinese bike fanboy. I am realistic, enjoy working on small motors, rear axels, changing tires, adjusting valves, etc. And these are activities that I have done for DECADES on more than 40 Japanese motorcycles.

I am sorry you have had problems. But they are no longer typical for Chinese motorcycles. The average purchase is a happy one these days.
