Thanks buyingchina yes I got it from Tim.I have my atv out in the shed to make some room to put the bike together.It has the airbox filter on it.I am not sure about the carb.I am going to get the v4s out tomarrow so I can compare the two.The exausts are different but the Hibirds seems to be made pretty well.

Hi, I was talking with Tim the other day about the street bike he has, but I forgot about the enduro a while ago. I contacted him on some one elses behalf.Been busy, I'm working on a lot of projects right now, and was side tracked with a pain in the a$$. But its been all but worked out. The sight of your new bike got me going again. Seems Tim can't keep that V4S in stock!
To bad we don't live closer, we could split the cost of leasing a small toy warehouse! Buyingchina |

Yea jim I think I can put a car plate on that baby.I have to redrill the holes Missouri has very small plates for bikes.
Buyingchina ,I was looking at the new street bikes tim has and they look awsome .I figured with the enduro I can take it out with the atv's and do some trail riding with it as well as cruise around town. Thank goodness you don't live close If I buy one more toy my wife is going to file on me lol. Thanks Zap ,If it wasn't so dang cold I would. :wink: |

All they really want is a little attention. You know the drill. |

Congrats, KC! Probably one of the best bikes for the money, considering the 250cc vs. 200cc. You will have to meet up with 'driller' for a comparo to his GY5 (with photos and video of course).
Can't wait for the video. You and 'Universal Diver' are leaning me towards one of these if the Qlink never pans out (I'm still holding out hope... ), but for half the cost and the easy AZ registration, this bike is looking better and better--plus whoever ordered these from China had the smarts to have the factory install a 46t rear sprocket instead of the usual 56 t :x

Congrats.
You will love it. I wish I could ride mine today but the cold front finally made it here I think. Its like 69-70. 8O Sorry I could not resist... Seriously I need to study some of your pics.. I for the life of me could not figure out the damn hand guards. On a side note, I have a ton of family in Indepenence. I used to live in Pittsburg KS when I was young, and had swim meets there alot. Nice area to grow up.... Unlike Fla which blows. Now the race is on to see who gets the vids up first... |

I would love a few pics of the hand guards.... I was about to give up. It is really my first bike so it will be a learning process I guess....
