Issues with Bashan Enforcer

MacGregor · 03-07-2018, 09:57 PM

I've been riding the bike daily for the past six weeks, accumulating a little over 1K miles (1800 Km) thus far,. I'm enjoying it, but a few issues have come up.

The rear sprocket is slightly loose. The mounting bolts for the sprocket are tight, but the bolts (or shafts) underneath the sprocket have a little movement.

The throttle has a few centimeters of free play and doesn't immediately return when released. (This is mostly my fault) Everything worked correctly when I initially installed it, but I accidentally cut the throttle tube when cutting off the factory grip to install aftermarket grips. The problem started then, so I installed a new [single cable] throttle tube. It rotates smoother, but didn't resolve it. When the cable is removed from the throttle tube, it pulls and releases normal. I've adjusted the cable at both the throttle and the carb to no avail.

There is a small oil leak. The oil is dripping from a bolt under the shift lever (bottom of clutch cover?). I've tightened the bolt a few times; I'm planning on removing it and threadlocking it at the next oil change.

One of the bolts from the exhaust heat shield fell out. The remaining bolt has been tightened to hold the heat shield in place. (totally my fault for not checking and threadlocking those sooner)
