220 Miles on it so far on and off road

Goldshadow, I think you and I got ours about the same time from Brian. Do you like your bike so far?

goldshadow · 07-11-2007, 04:21 PM

Love it! It is my daily driver and I took it up to my In-laws ranch last weekend for some off road driving. I have several pics and will post them later. Everything from start to finish has been great so far. I really don't have any complaints about the stock tires either. I have had many other riders admire it and they were astounded I got it for under $1500.

Fatboy, ounds like your getting some good use of your bike

When you weren't doing oil changes at 1K how often were you? (I sort of do mine randomly, I try to about every 500)

Well, I guess around 6,000 I decided to try every 2k. BUT then I was influenced by all the guys talking about "better safe than sorry" " cheap insurance" "only 1qt of oil" "So easy only takes a minute" "Why take chances" "YOUR BIKES GONNA BLOW UP"......you know that kinda stuff

, so I changed it at 7500miles and then again at 9000 miles and will again at 10k. Prior to that it was every 1k miles.

I've got around 2500km, no trouble so far!

BigT · 07-16-2007, 09:59 AM

I'm pushing 1100 miles on my '06. All trouble free except for things coming loose on me which I remedied with some loc tite.

BigT · 07-16-2007, 11:08 AM

sorry, double post.

katoranger · 07-16-2007, 01:26 PM

766 miles. No engine problems, minor details so far.

I am hoping to get 10,000 miles out of this bike. Then hopefully I will be allowed an upgrade.

10k shouldn't be a big deal for the engine. The rest of the bike will depend on what type of riding you do. I'm hoping to go at least 36k with mine. That works out to about a dollar a day at the rate that I'm racking up miles.

katoranger · 07-16-2007, 04:11 PM

99% street and 1% light trail use. I really think it with outlast my expectations. I should put about 10K a year on it.

If you think of these as "big fast 200cc mopeds" instead of "motocross bikes that can go on the street" they should last for a while. While I will say mine still handles the trails ok with the street tires, you can forget about mud and jumping. But I never really cared about that much anyway. I like the upright riding position, the handling[especially with the street tires], and the high line of sight over most traffic. Plus it gets great gas mileage.

I like riding it over my Yamaha Radian that I had. It handles better.

IronFist · 07-21-2007, 04:17 PM

Ha it took me 11 days to put on 2000km, and I'm not riding much because of up-grades. 2400Km. If I get 2 seasons out of this bike, I'll be buying another china bike next time. I agree with everything fatboy250 said about his bike. Then again I agree with him alot.

katoranger · 11-02-2007, 03:55 PM

Need to revive this thread.

I will have 3700 (6000km) miles by the time I get home. It I ride everyday to work I will get to 10K in the first year.

Things that have broken so far. Gas tank started leaking, bulbs, muffler cracked, rear brake, turn signal switch, wore out rear tire.

Not too bad.
