And I wasn't the only person not contacted back, (I have PM's if requested). I assume they are very busy currently, anyway, and was hoping the authorized "service center" thread could help them by handling some of the requests they apparently may be missing. It could consolidate inquiries to one place and offer interested parties a place to see requirements they need, etc. There DOES need to be some interest in having others offering parts and service if that's a reason they list for buying the bikes, IMHO. Otherwise sales and warranty informaton needs to be (ASAP) changed to read to just stating: "owner must do all maintainance and repairs themselves" if there is nothing to financially motivate others to assist owners of this motorcycle, and parts are available FROM CSC, ONLY. If a bike was crashed, or run with oil from a holed crankcase (ie:rock hit, rebar on hwy, etc.) , run hot from radiator holing, (branch through radiator, dropped on the trail out in boonies w/o cell service), IMHO this is beyond many (most?) riders comfort level repairing, tutorial or no, again IMHO. Would everyone have the flywheel pullers, hydraulic press for bearings and shaft assembly/disassembly, or want to invest in their purchase for a single (hopefully!) use?
This (having others REASONABLY close by owners who do have ALL these tools and many more, and know how to use them! and are motivated to do EVERY bike that comes in needing these things done gonna take some $, IMHO.) IS important to CSC long term keeping this project viable, (again my OPINION).

Thay have a LOT in place that I really like for my situation. I don't relish the idea of owning (another) orphan bike in USA if this doesn't work, and they kept anyone else from getting parts anywhere else but from them.

I would enjoy helping the OCCASIONAL zong rider(s) having misfortune while in my general area, with some issues. Rebuilding multiple bikes (taking time away from PAYING for mine and my bills) I would not. That is not a REASONABLE (or fair, either) thing to expect owners to be forced to put up with.

Here's hoping this gets read before my call and its issues deemed as important as I think it should be to everyone interested in (or like me, deposits placed) on a bike. I, at this point, am still optimistic, as this should be easy enough to do. (if they want to do it).
