My HSUN 200gy prep..............
Ok this is a little weird but I ordered a Roketa DB-07 from grandpowersports.com and got a HS 200GY instead. It is made by Hsun. Just wondering what you guys know about this bike. It runs great and seems like a really good bike so far. Only thing is, they forgot to send the mirrors and both tires wont hold air. The valve stims are leaking a bit from the needle? (if that makes since) I have had a guy tell me to tighten the needle or something. Suggestions? Thanks! -Cory

Tighten the valve core's.You can get a tool from your local autopart store.called a valve core tool.cost less than $5.00
|
Have you worked on the pizza carrier setup at all yet?
|
Tightening the stems might help but if you are putting high miles on the bike you might want to redo the tubes now and avoid the rush later :)
|
fixed it
OK I tightened the stems and all is well. Thanks for the advice guys! Havent worked on the pizza carrying device yet but have some ideas and am going to start this week on it. -Cory

Breaking in my HSUN 200GY
Break in is going well. I am at 165 miles with no problems except my right passenger peg fell off somewhere. I have lock tighted a few key screws and bolts but not all yet. I havent noticed any loosening of the screws/bolts yet. I recently replaced the stock 56T rear sprocket with a 42T and my top speed is around 65mph but that is on level street with no wind haha. I figure once break-in is complete the bike will reach that speed with greater ease. I have my rack idea for pizza delivery and am about to follow through with install. Pictures will be avail soon hopefully. I am using 10w 40 pennzoil and have changed the oil 3 times already. Can someone explain to me where the oil filter is located? Is it the LARGE bold facing horizontally next to the oil pan bolt?
|
there is no oil filter. there is a screen with a spring behind that large horizontal bolt. pull it and clean the metel frags out next time you change the oil.

hahaah finally some consistency with China manufacturing!!! |
I have a question about my break light. I noticed the other day that when I squeeze the front break lever my rear break light doesnt get any brighter. There is a device on the front break lever assembly that is activated when the front lever is squeezed. Wondering if I need to buy another switch for the rear break light and where I would get it from?
|
There should be a switch that hooks to the rear foot lever. On my bike I had to adjust it to get it to work properly.
|
So I now have 1900 miles on my HSUN 200gy. I drive it at 55mph at 7000 rpm. I did most of the prep suggested (lubed cables, oil chain every day with white lithium grease, put 42T sprocket on rear, cleaned out gas tank before first start) still need to oil air filter and grease swing arm (as soon as I can find the right size grease fitting). Only problems so far have been the rear lights not working and a couple rack mount bracket things breaking from the cheap metal. Every day I have noticed that the bike goes faster and faster, smoother and smoother. I deliver 3 to 4 days/week on this bike riding 200+ miles per day. I can't believe this bike is holding up like this but it is. I got a nail through the outer edge of the rear tire but it missed the tube and never got flat. Have rode over 400 miles with the nail in the tire haha. I am getting around 70 Mpg. All in all I just baby it and it keeps going. Fingers crossed. -Cory

I enjoy reading your posts because I have the same bike; mine's a 2008 HSUN GY200. So far, the only problems I have had is an ignition wire coming loose when I changed the carb clip, and I had to replace the solenoid. The dealer actually replaced the solenoid, so I didn't have to pay for that. I replaced the rear 56 tooth sprocket with a 44 tooth and that has really helped.
All in all, I'm real pleased with the bike. |
Hope that nail don't become a projectile some day :twisted:
Be safe, Tigertamer |

ha ha you got nailed....
I just discovered avon builds a cheap street tire for a decent price. .http://www.americanmototire.com/cata...cPath=33_61_75 might be a good replacment since it seems you are all street. |
Today the side of the nail wore into my tube and the tube deflated. Was about 10 miles from home at the time. Had to get a tow for $45. No biggie, now I have learned how to change tires. So it was $45 well spent. -Cory
|
yep getting naild is definatly a learning expirence.
there is a tube called monster tube. it is supposed to be the thickest tube sold. stockers work well also. |
FINALLY got the right size grease fitting for swing arm. Got it in and hooked up the grease gun, started pumping and grease came out the bottom of the nut that is welded onto the swingarm. I guess the weld wasnt complete so it left space for grease to come out. Put some JB Weld on it and waiting for it to cure then I will FINALLY be able to grease that sucker!!! YEAH!! -Cory
P.S getting tail lights fixed this week. |
J-B to the rescue...AGAIN 8)
We'll make a grease-monkey out of you yet! Keep pluggin' away, Tigertamer |
Found a temp fix for my tail light being out. Bought a $10 red LED bicycle tail light and electric taped it on top of my rear light.

Oh and FINALLY got my swing arm greased!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks JB Weld.
-Cory |
I thought you were having a shop look at the taillight? Be careful, and also watch out for tickets too...
|
I am having a shop look at it. My tail light will come on every once in a while but no break light. Weird. Also, I re-lubed my clutch cable with white lithium grease spray. -Cory

You might also consider reading-up on the 12 volt electronics in your spare time. The labor cost at a repair shop working on "intermittent" electrical problems, can add-up fast :!:
Once they do figure and fix, you, and your wallet are still at their mercy, whenever the next (inevitable) electrical problem arises 8O Some money saving advice, Tigertamer |
I did notice today that my rear tail light comes on every once in a while but the break light doesnt work. Has to be something pretty simple I would think. -Cory
|
Did you check that all the wires are still soldered on good to the back of the light socket?

A new problem,
First time I tried to fire the bike up after my flat repair via electric start the starter wouldnt work. Every time I push the electric start button i here a "click" under the seat behind the air filter. ?? -Cory |
Low battery maybe? A really cheap volt-ohm-meter would be your best friend about now.

does the electronics all zonk out when you hit the starter?
If so clean ALL battery connections from the battery to the solinoid battery to frame and so on. |

I now have 2500miles 4000kms on my HSUN 200gy. This week has been difficult with the rear tire. Last week i had a flat and had to get a tow and then saturday afternoon I had another flat with a NEW tube! There wasnt any puncture through the tire at all!! I was delivering pizzas when it happened and somehow got a hold of a motorcycle shop that was open on saturday and got a new tube. One of the guys at work came and picked me up with his truck. Got back to the store and did a tube replacement. I noticed on both of the tubes that went flat, a sort of a small scrape with some punctures on the side of the tube. Wondering if maybe there is something in the tire causing this. Tomorrow I am going to take my newest tube out to see if I can spot the problem. -Cory

Inspect the inside of the tire for debris and also the inside of the rim.
Allen |
Maybe it was "pinched" while putting the tire back on the rim?
