2009 Qlink XF200 Coming To Me Soon

Barnone · 10-13-2010, 10:03 PM

For some reason the shipping of my XF200 in the crate was delayed and I was not getting responses from the business so I was getting nervous. I opened a dispute with PayPal and suddenly just got a message tonight minutes later from the business that it shipped today. Strange but true.

Thanks for sharing the good news! If you have time, please post lots of photographs of your new XF200.

We cna't wait so I can't imagine how excited you must be.

Barnone · 10-19-2010, 07:21 PM

I'm meeting the delivery truck in town tomorrow to get the bike. I live way up the mountain on a dirt road and up a steep driveway so there is no way he can bring it to my cabin.
Camera is charged up.

We all get excited anticipating a new arrival to the family.

Barnone · 10-21-2010, 08:50 AM

Well she arrived yesterday. I met the delivery truck in town and we loaded it in my little trailer. I choose that trailer because I can back it in my above ground basement in the old homestead cabin that I rebuilt here in WNC.

Before

After. Excuse me for bragging but I'm proud of saving the old house. We use it for a guest house. It was built back in the 1930s and didn't have indoor plumbing or running water.

Where are assembly pics? Nice house.

Cal25 · 10-21-2010, 08:55 AM

Thats a great looking house! Cant wait for your first impressions of the new bike also.

Weldangrind · 10-21-2010, 08:57 AM

X2. Looking forward to the assembly process.

That old house must've had a good foundation.

Barnone · 10-21-2010, 09:16 AM

I used my 4X4 tractor to pull the XF200 up my steep and rough driveway. Here it is backed in my workshop.

Used a couple of come alongs to get here off the trailer.

It was well packed and there was no damage.

Here she is put together. No problems were encountered and only had one part left over. They sent an extra inset for the front fender.

I must say that it appears to be a first class bike and it looks very good in the orange. Pulled the sealed battery (nice feature) to put a slow charge on it and called it a day. Also wanted to read the owner's manual.

Funny the manual says to change the oil at 200km and 700km in one place and in another at 300km and 1000km. I plan to warm her up and change the oil immediately then 200km, 700km,and 1000km. I will also check my work today before I install the battery. The manual is much better than the manuals that I received with my other Chinese bikes.

Of course the MSO and the bill of sale was not included so I will to get after the dealer for those items.

The engine looks almost the same as my XT225.

Does anyone know if a center stand can be fitted? All my other bikes have a C/S. Also I like to put magnetic drain plugs in all my bikes and atvs. Need to order one after I check the drain pug size. I assume the oil filter is the same as my Suzuki 250cc atvs and will find out in a few minutes.

More photos to follow.

katoranger · 10-21-2010, 10:10 AM

That is a nice work space. I saw a wood stove chimney on the side in an earlier pic.

Thanks for posting the great photos!

Your bike looks great, and I am glad to see you chose the fastest color (orange).
