2009 Qlink XF200 Coming To Me Soon
For some reason the shipping of my XF200 in the crate was delayed and I was not getting responses from the business so I was getting nervous. I opened a dispute with PayPal and suddenly just got a message tonight minutes later from the business that it shipped today. Strange but true.

I'm meeting the delivery truck in town tomorrow to get the bike. I live way up the mountain on a dirt road and up a steep driveway so there is no way he can bring it to my cabin.
Camera is charged up. |

Well she arrived yesterday. I met the delivery truck in town and we loaded it in my little trailer. I choose that trailer because I can back it in my above ground basement in the old homestead cabin that I rebuilt here in WNC.
![]() Before ![]() After. Excuse me for bragging but I'm proud of saving the old house. We use it for a guest house. It was built back in the 1930s and didn't have indoor plumbing or running water. ![]() XF200 in the back of the little trailer. |

X2. Looking forward to the assembly process.
That old house must've had a good foundation. ![]()

![]() I used my 4X4 tractor to pull the XF200 up my steep and rough driveway. Here it is backed in my workshop. ![]() Used a couple of come alongs to get here off the trailer. ![]() It was well packed and there was no damage. ![]() Here she is put together. No problems were encountered and only had one part left over. They sent an extra inset for the front fender. I must say that it appears to be a first class bike and it looks very good in the orange. Pulled the sealed battery (nice feature) to put a slow charge on it and called it a day. Also wanted to read the owner's manual. Funny the manual says to change the oil at 200km and 700km in one place and in another at 300km and 1000km. I plan to warm her up and change the oil immediately then 200km, 700km,and 1000km. I will also check my work today before I install the battery. The manual is much better than the manuals that I received with my other Chinese bikes. Of course the MSO and the bill of sale was not included so I will to get after the dealer for those items. ![]() The engine looks almost the same as my XT225. Does anyone know if a center stand can be fitted? All my other bikes have a C/S. Also I like to put magnetic drain plugs in all my bikes and atvs. Need to order one after I check the drain pug size. I assume the oil filter is the same as my Suzuki 250cc atvs and will find out in a few minutes. More photos to follow. |

That is a nice work space. I saw a wood stove chimney on the side in an earlier pic.
