Photos please
I've posted close up, high resolution photos of things like the swingarm, rear axel slot, footpeg welds, handlebar components, front axel, frame with tank removed, exhaust system, wheel hubs and lots more on the Templar X.
Can someone post HQ photos of the same features on Lifan KPX 250, Titan DLX 250, and other dual purpose and enduro Chinese bikes? It is hard for people to compare these without your help. I am curious too. It is not like we have dealerships to go see these in person, which is exactly why I posted the photos. You have the motorcycle and camera Whatcha got? Here is an example. This shows the design of the front axel clamp. This is the shipping crate the day I unloaded it from the R&L carrier. It shows a ding in the black paint, but also shows the front axel and axel clamps. Lets see those rear axel slots, swingarms, controls on the handlebars.

Thanks Jerry. It's a good start.
For this to be a useful thread, people need to have access to higher resolution photos, close up, and in good lighting of things like the welding on the head set, front axel, rear axel and axel bolt/nut. Close up photos of controls/switches, welds near the engine on the swingarm, adjustable suspension locations, and any flaws you've experienced as well. For instance. I receive a front wheel with a cracked seal recess on my 2022 and a half Templar X. PSM sent me an entire new wheel when I sent them this HR photo. So I ended up with a spare wheel. I was going to swap it out if I ran into deep water, but I ended up selling the 6 speed Templar X since I really didn't need two. My 5 speed is good for me. The horn was damage or fauty as well. They sent me a new one.

The only issue I had so far on the KPX was a bad battery that died within a few months, but Venom replaced it no questions asked. Others have had issues with the muffler hitting the rear tire, Which is probably an assembly alignment issue from the factory. One member on here had a crack in the head because of a bad casting. Venom had replaced the entire engine. Most recent is Jay's transmission failure @ 9700 miles. With the 2 year/12,000 mile warranty, I'm sure Venom or American Lifan will replace the engine.
