However, I must tell you that I have now run into problems with my bike. My bike one day decided to not shut off when I turned the key. It kept running my battery down. I finally figured out that my remote alarm (Under the seat) had malfunctioned causing my ignition to be useless. I replaced the ignition..It did nothing. I finally just unplugged the remote alarm/start and everything worked as it should. They would not replace my remote...saying it was out of warranty.... I literally dealt with them 4-5 months to try and get this resolved. Secondly, please realize that you will not find parts directly related to the Bashan Storm....Roketa does not have this bike listed. No body at APSCUSA or Roketa has specific parts for this specific bike...They say take a picture of what you are needing and we will see what we got. I.E. I need the battery bracket...because I broke it when I was installing a slightly bigger battery. " Take a picture of what you need..and we will see what we got.?" Really?? How about looking at your other Bashan Storms or better yet...How about these parts have an item number where you can locate the exact part we need for our Bashan??? Sorry to vent...but I understand your frustration...and unfortunately, you will likely continue to have difficulty.... The forum is a good place for advice. Best of luck

If you are expecting to be able to call or go to a website to order parts for any China Bike good luck. THE ONLY EXCEPTION is CSC. So if you want or need that convenience I suggest you purchase a bike from CSC.

Most if not all of these dealers are just drop shipping bikes from a warehouse. They do not have a parts inventory to go look for a specific part for your Storm. If under warranty they will sometimes have some spares of common parts but other parts they would need to go back to the original supplier who may or may not be of any help. Many of these bikes are branded or assembled in China and put in a Container destined for a warehouse that dealers place orders against.

You need to be able to adapt and overcome when locating / modifying parts to be used on these bikes.

So whatcha expect for under 2000.00 for a new bike? If ya want to spend twice this you can have the parts inventory the dealer network etc of a Jap bike. Just my 2 cents
