I need help
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. |

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. Mike |

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.

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) |
