XF200, how are the plastics? These bikes were released in Europe before Qlink started rebadging them and importing them. As member Catastrophix from Sweden pointed out, the enduro versions of these bikes, like he has, had good quality plastics, whereas the motard version in Sweden, like you have, and what is available here in the US, has very brittle plastics. Are the plastics cheap in quality, or did Qlink upgrade them before importing them to the US?

well culcune i have to say i agree with you the plastics wouldnt take a beating but i will be 90% on hardball (pavement). they look to be a little brittle mine from the factory or in shipping has a small set of scratches on the right side of the bottom radiator like scoop? the dealer has already got a new set on its way so no worries there.
madmaximum- the place i got it was here in crosslanes wv a place called wvautosales google them cause they are cheaper than msr plus shipping that is if you live local? $2,000 out the door because im not going to register it until spring( me being a newbie and all i want to get some practice time in on it riding local at my families house in prichard wv). there the cops wont stop you for riding it down the main route. ![]() |

The Suzuki DR200 uses the same engine, so it should be the same as far as changing the oil; see if the dealer might help you out. Did the dealer have aftermarket pipes?

It's a US-approved bike--I think might be made in China :?

Remove the oil drain bolt (it's the 17 mm bolt located on the underside of the engine), let the oil drain. The oil filter sits behind the "lid" that has the text "oil filter" :wink: Remove the three bolts, be careful not to damage the seal. Remove the old filter and tension spring. Check that the o-ring is in place Put the new filter in (opening towards engine) Put the spring and lid in place again. Mount the oil drain bolt (Be careful not to tighten to hard) Fill the engine with oil again. (1 liter) Clean the mess up (you probably dropped the bolt in to the old oil) :wink:
