Time to say hello!

darkkyros · 11-09-2009, 02:28 AM

I've love this site and have been on here for a while. I decided it's time I start posting!
Many post here have helped me in finding what I need for do to fix up and find problems on my bike (Pictures below).
Unfortunately my bike's CDI unit went out a few months ago. At first I had no idea what had happened to my bike. I checked, mostly, everything from inside the engine to every wire on the harness. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting a spark.
I looked all over the internet and came across this wonderful web-site. After reading a few posts I found out that it's somewhat common for the CDI to go out. I have ordered one from MetricPartsHQ (Which I found about from here).
It's really fun riding this bike here, in the Utah mountains, where I live.

My bike is set-up a lot a like the LF200GY-2. It's known as Motobravo-200. It's been an awesome bike for the little time I've driven it. Once spring arrives, I'm thinking on repainting it like so. I took the original image into Photoshop to get a clearer image of what it may look like.

I'm tempted to save up some money and get me the Zongshen Sierra. Especially since I've read most of Spud's topics on his Zong.

Welcome!

I agree, the black side panels look better.

I'd buy a Sierra if I could find one for what Spud paid, and if they were in Canada.

welcome to the boards, and nice ride.

Nice bike. I also like the black. You live in a beautiful area, I spent about 1,000 miles last summer wandering Utah on my Gold Wing.

Glad we could help with the CDI.

Welcome!

Your bike looks great, both with the present colors, and the repainted colors!

Indeed, this is a great site. I am glad to hear you have been helped by the information posted here.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me! It really is a great bike! It just sucks right now that I am unable to ride it since I am still waiting on the CDI. The order on MetricPartsHQ say that the transaction is still pending. It's already been seven days. :( All I can do is wait a little longer I suppose.
