That's a good looking motorcycle.

When you have time, please post more photographs of your bike.

Weldangrind · 01-29-2015, 07:03 PM

Welcome! You'll have a lot of fun with that bike.

jimlao92 · 01-29-2015, 09:49 PM

I'm pretty sure i will. i will be posting a build up pretty soon and i will try to take alot of photos along the way. 99 r6 rear shock already in order and i've been reading around so a mikuni 30mm 110 main & 30 idle that i see weldangrind recommend to alot of people with a 200cc bike size is also in order and later down i will be rebuilding the front shocks for a higher spring rate and stiffer shock as i am a pretty big guy. i will try to take alot of before pictures of the stock bike. so any part of the bike that anyone wants a picture of please dont be afraid to ask for pictures.

You might need a 25 slow jet, depending on your elevation. The good news is they're cheap.

You might not need stiffer springs in the forks; follow Spud's tutorial on replacing the oil, and try Valvoline Maxlife ATF. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=10266

It's a long thread, and it's totally worth the read. Spud always does his research and he takes excellent pics.

Welcome! I had a Jetmoto 200cc enduro which was my first Chinese bike. Where in California are you?

jimlao92 · 01-29-2015, 11:18 PM

I will keep the 25 slow jet in mind but my bike is mostly at sea level. I will also read on the front shock thanks for the link.

I am located in Sacramento I am still learning how to ride. So I'm not that great yet. My brothers like to laugh at my bike just because they ride crf150 and Ttr125 ttr225. But like all other things I do I think the bike has a lot of potential so I will work on it give them a run or their money.
