Merlin, you're right about the failed 400 engine, but it wasn't Wild Alaskan; he installed a 400 Honda (XR400, IIRC) engine in his Lifan. Doc bought a 400 Pitster Pro from another member, and that was a catastrophe.

"catastrophe". Don't you think that's sugar-coating it a bit, Weld??? ;-)

Thanks for the correction. The engine on Wild Alaskan's bike looks like the same engine on the bike in this thread.

It was Xingyue OEM. The Xinyue bikes were EPA/DOT certified for a few years, including selling them through Pitster Pro, but had a fatal engine flaw that could not be fixed.

On the EPA/DOT certification list, Bashan is stated as the mfg. However, they OEM BMS's new enduro, the CRP 250, and BMS proudly states the engine is Zongshen OEM, so I tend to lean that way, that Bashan's engine OEM is Zongshen. TMEC's 196cc engine's OEM is Zongshen, but on their EPA certificate it states TMEC as the mfr.

GPX is stated as the manufacturer on the Chinese bikes I believe, think that it isn't a real life reflection who "makes them" rather who is resposible etc.

I could well be wrong tho.

It wouldn't surprise me if they claim things to get around the rules lie they do in China, loads of fudged things

The Wild Alaska acording to Spud was the Shineray X2 bottom end (250cc and weak) plus a Rotex 400cc top end.
X2 they busted their 2nd gear and then add on a much bigger CC top end...............

I wonder how I could verify it. I am thinking about getting a head for it to port it a bit and I read here that the CSC head is better place to start since it is a Zongshen head, So maybe compare my head with a CSC head?
