Does this adapt to the bikes or the bashan bikes for upgrade?

Shipping
Let's not get too excited folks.
I just received an email from them this morning stating that they heard from the shipper and it was going to be 53.55 shipping instead of 8 bucks. I'd say 165.00 is still a decent deal??????????? You say?????? |
Quote:
I was wondering on the shipping as they have the kit listed as 200 grams, when it's probably over 2000 grams. I have not heard back yet. Update: Just received the email. $53 to ship |
Has anyone here had successful dealings with Yoycartcom?
My credit card company is freaking out about the charges and I just got an email from yoycart saying that my payment is suspect. :hmm: |
Quote:
Nothing has hit my card yet. I mis-keyed the first order and placed one without payment info. It showed as "unpaid". I clicked on it and wrote them to cancel that order and they did....so there's at least activity. The second order I gave them payment info on, I wrote them an email and asked what the total would be. Waiting to hear back. CCC, keep us posted on your situation. I sure hope these folks work out to be a decent vendor. We need more of them. |
Balance
Anyone installing a kit like this, remember to check the weight of the assembled piston. It should be within 4% of the original to avoid excessive vibration that can damage engine parts.

Good advice. I didn't weigh mine before install... but the miles I have put on it have been smooth and vibration free as a thumper can be. |

I have not noticed that the gas mileage is much different. I did notice that the first few times out on the big bore my wrist was getting sore- I realized it was because I was having to modulate the throttle at a lower opening which made it sore. Very easy install. I'm a rookie on motors and it was pretty easy on the LXR. In chassis. The EFI adjusted with zero issues. I would say it starts far better than before- possibly due to the unshrouding of the valves in the bigger cylinder. Pretty simple swap on the LXR; probably a little more teardown on the RX3. |
Well, China being where it is, I didn't receive an email confirming the final cost until 7-something, last night. Monday must start earlier there.
Total cost confirmed at 164.65 and I told them that was fine and please ship the order. I'm glad they asked for approval instead of just hosing me down unannounced. Though you can tell there's a slight language barrier, the person has been very cordial and polite. Hopefully things will move forward smoothly from this point. I've never ordered from a direct China vendor before. |
2LZ, My experience with direct ordering from China was positive. I bought a couple thermostat housings for my RX3 in order to change over to a hotter thermostat (required milling out a deeper pocket for the new 'stat). The transaction was kinda stilted but everything worked exactly as described. Shipping cost was reasonable considering the distance. Heck, for $165 the 300cc kit sounds like a no brainer.
As an aside, if your kit works out as planned maybe we should think about a larger order and thus spread the shipping cost over more units. A 20% increase in displacement is significant. The cooling system is already over sized. My only concern is with the crankshaft and balance shaft no longer being balanced for the larger piston. When you get your kit please weigh the piston and compare to OEM. Peter Y. |
Following this to see how it goes for you guys. Sounds like an "interesting upgrade"

Fortunately, Mrs. 2LZ is perfectly happy with her stock RX3 but if this makes a noticeable difference, I better not let her ride it. ;-) |

Yoycart wants me to send them pictures of my credit card ( front and back) and an approval number.
So I guess I'm out. |
2LZ, at this time the price shown is $111.10
|
It could be that you need to either clear your cache and cookies or use a different device. Airlines and travel agencies play a similar game, where they mark up a price as soon as you show interest.

2LZ, I believe these pages are set up this way...... when the last post completes a page ,the page 2 appears but nothing will load until someone actually posts something .We will see if this posts bumps page 2 alive. rj
|
Hmmmm. so this is page 2. When I log in it automatically goes to the last posts I guess? rj

I've read through this entire thread and I'm confused. Has anyone here successfully purchased one of these from this website?
|
Well, I called my credit card company and got the 6-digit approval code that yoycart requested. (In lieu of the pictures)
They have added $45 to the shipping, but it's all paid for. I'll let you know if it actually shows up. |
I'd already placed an order for one on Taobao.com when I heard about the $111 special.
My total cost including shipping is about $230. I think the kit was about $203 Here's the one I ordered. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=560149141965&_u= It hasn't arrived yet. |
I just ordered one. This sounds like an interesting project.

I got the shipping payment made. Just waiting now.
Finished assembling the C4 this weekend so the garage has been reorganized and it's now ready for the 300cc kit project. Just waiting on the slow boat....... |
It shipped! WOO HOO!
Now it's that slow boat... (chugga, chugga, chugga.....) Yoycart has been pretty good to deal with so far. I may try them again. |
I've tryied ordering, first they corrected the shipping cost (it was clear from the begining that this ítem doesn't weights 200 grams), and now I got this message:
"This one need about two month booking time, is it OK for you" I'm about to cancel my order... |
Quote:
I have received this same email. I replied asking them what "booking time" means. No response so far. Starting to smell really bad. Which is disappointing. |
Yes, same question asked. Seems weird that 2LZ above has had his shipped. Perhaps they run out of stock. It's just wait and see as of now, I guess...
|
The shipping issue might be a function of which buying service you are using. I'm dealing with TaobaoTrends. They allow payment by credit card (no photo required) or PayPal. I chose the latter. So far the process has been flawless. My order is processed and the part ordered. Once they get the part they will contact me with the shipping info.
Peter Y. |
I've used them for many orders. Didn't see that as necessary for yoycart... wish I had thought to go with them.
|
Well, I asked, they cancelled my order. :shrug:
So I'll wait for the refund and then try taobaotrends. |
