Sorry to leave you guys hanging. I probably won't be on for a while or be working on/ riding the bike for a while. We are having a very tough family situation. Once again, thank you for all of your help.

just curious, when tightening the front and rear bolts that hold the hub on, how tight do you tighten the bolt? do you torque them or do it by feel? This question is for the op and the board, i'm just wanting to make sure i didn't tighten mine to much when i put the wheels back on. thanks alan

I tighten the bolts very tight, by hand; I don't use a torque wrench. I don't want the axle bolts loosening on me as I ride! 8O Unless you are very obsessive/compulsive, I don't think you can tighten the axle bolts too much.

However, if you check your Zongshen Motorcycle Maintenance Manual, I am sure you can find a torque specification for your axle nuts.
