Happy to serve. I can appreciate how difficult it is to share every detail, yet keep the post from being to complex.

The process is not very difficult at all. As with most things, it takes a little work to learn the system, but the effort is well worth it. After you complete your first order, you will an expert.

You're welcome. If you place an order at Taobao, I suggest you get the updated, split, left side covers which facilitate accessing the air filter element.

Thank you for the information, Spud. I registered with Taobaotrends and was able to shop right away. I found everything I needed in a few minutes. Clicked submit and was on my way. We'll see how it all goes.

Must be nice to have a decent keyword to find pertinent items for your bike at Taobao.

I've tried lots of search words for mine and related bikes. Not so easy...

Cheers!

Indeed, the search terms make all the difference. For my Zongshen Sierra 200, I use the following search terms.

ZS200GY-2
LZX200GY-2

For my Zongshen RX3, I employ the following search terms.

ZS250GY-3
Zongshen RX3
