I need help

IronFist · 04-05-2007, 02:11 PM

Thank you for this site, if anyone can help me it's you guys.
Background,
New to the site, and motorcycling.
I live in Ontario, Canada. I just bought a 150cc eagle, enduro from Daymak. (daymak.com) I think the bike is a Xingyue, but I'm not sure. I am waiting for them to do a safety check, put the turn signals on, and get the title. The bike is going on the road. I never intend to ride it in the dirt. I'm not sure of the size of the back sprocket. They say___The bike will do 80kph, 45mph. The bike comes with knobbie tires, but the knobs are down the center as to be street legal.

Question set #1.
Have you heard of Daymak?
Is my bike a Xing yue motor bike?
Have you heard of xingyue, and are their bikes ok?

Question set #2
Is it safer, faster, or more economical, puttting SPORT tires on a dirtbike?
Have you heard of motard? I like the look.

Eventually, I'd like to raise the cruiseing speed, and get a fender that doesn't look like a boats' sail. But for now, any suggestions on what to do with the tires would help alot. Thanks again. new2riding.

I like the idea and it rides a lot better, check out my gallery. These a Cheng Shen Barracuda tread type. http://www.chinariders.net/gallery2/...g2_itemId=1336

Yes Jason that's it. Looks good too. I didn't want to change the tires, then have people laughing at my crazy ideas. I'm a newbie. Are you going to use a smaller fender, and mount the fender lower onto the tire? Or leave it? With different handle bars, it starts to look like a sports bike.

With proper tires, on the street, with the right sprocket,
Do you know what kind of cruising speed I can expect? (150cc)
Again I like the look of your bike.

I quit worry about other people along time ago. I guess that will come with age. Have fun it's your bike.

Leave it.

Check out PolygonFla's ride with the new headlight assembly, this may interest you too.

You could probably expect 60mph or so, it just wouldn't have the pull up hills or the jump off the line that the 200cc has.

The "on road" knobbies ride and handle pretty well actually. I too plan to convert over to a 80/20 street tire, but I'm gonna burn the knobbies off first. I figure I paid for 'em, I might as well use them up!!! I figured they would vibrate and shake a little, but they are pretty smooth.

Thanks guys, my paperwork on the bike should come early next week. Thinking of buying shares in locktite.
Iching to get insurance and ride :oops: N2R

I seen one of these the other day at the local dealer.

I still prefer the on/off road version over the motard but this is a nice looking bike nonetheless.(costs as much as both our Lf200's and my wifes raptor put together

)

I had a 91 suzuki dr650s on/off road bike that was a beast, wish I had never sold it now.My wife actually took the loan out for it and for atleast 6 months various people from the bank called to verify if she had actually bought the thing

.(yes she could ride it- it pulled like a team of speed drugged mules)
