Will Do Guys!

weld when i started this thread you ask me for a number to help me identify the bike

The should be a number stamped on the side of the engine, near the gear shift. If you tell us that number, we might be able to tell you more. Is there any information on the steering head decal?

Here is the Number..ZQ157FMI and on the bottom of that number is 05014097
i already started to take the bike apart. today here are some pics..







This does Not look wrigth to me. :(


And this is what the weather looks like 80 degrees, that mountain on the back ground is were i will like to take my bike is the cordillera central

[Weldangrind]

Thanks for the pics! Looking forward to pics in the mountains when you go riding.

The engine ID breaks down like this:
1 - one cylinder
57 - 57mm cylinder bore diameter
F - air cooled
M - motorcycle
I - 125cc engine

The rest of it is likely just serial info. What do you mean that the link does not look right to you?

Thanks For the info Weld, for some reson this bike are branded X1000 here in DR, and by the way this is china bike paradise here, maybe is because is a 3rd world country

Ok so i did a fitting test on the R6 Shock nice bolt on upgrade, the bike feels like a totally deferent bike just by sitting on it and jumping on top of it, the adjustability on this shock is amazing it has that Honda,yamaha, and big name bike feel to it, "well it is a yamaha shock" i will take it apart again to install my raising kit, thats the Kungfu 250 dog-bone with the stock brace,

here are a few pics.




already got my first problem the tail fender that i got is for zong and is alittle wider





i will be putting the battery under the seat, there is plenty of room, also i removed the seat cover, new one going in i will be doing some mod, to the foam as well..

[pchestaro]

for some reason this bikes are branded X1000 here in DR,

so when i go to buy part i have to refer to the bike as X1000..

[pchestaro]

Ok. So i modded My seat Foam And seat cover is in. for some reason this bikes come with a big bump on the front of the seat and on the back as well. so i got a new hacksaw blade and a grinder and started to cut some foam of the back and front of the seat.


Here is what i did.



Unfortunately i did not take pictures of the Foam after hitting it with the grinder And make in it nice and smooth, but here is the final product.
PS. the Cover is not staple all the way.






its all just put in place for fitting purpose that back bracket will be painted.
i Also put together the kung fu dog bone with success. and it did the trick i am one Happy dominican..




The Bike Sits way higher then it did Before. i love the look..
I have to say its a hole diferent feel to it feels like a CR

[FastDoc]

That looks great!

Does the rear fender clear with that piggyback shock?

Are there a lot of sportbikes like the R1 on your island? What's the largest commonly seen bike?

Do you ever travel to Haiti?

[driller]

for future reference an electric carving knife works great for cutting foam like seat foam. But no matter you did a nice job on yours congrats, your bike is looking great.

[SpudRider]

You did a great job on the shock and the saddle; your bike is looking good! Did you buy the Zongshen fender from Zongshen America?
