Hello from Fort Benning

Fluxmaven · 08-25-2015, 11:45 AM

Hello all,

Roughly 7 months ago I picked up a 08 Qlink XF200 for $900 to save gas. The guy even included a hitch mount motorcycle carrier, so I felt like it was a decent deal. I had to give up a good job to move from Kansas to Georgia when my wife PCS'd so I decided a cheap bike would keep me from blowing through all our money driving my extended cab Silverado everywhere.

Previously I owned a 99 Suzuki GS500 and a 72 Suzuki TS125 enduro.

The Qlink is the lowest performing bike I have ever ridden, but I already have a 16t front sprocket ready to put on. I plan on exhaust and a rejet as well.

I doubt it will ever pull the wheels like my old 2 stroke, but it gets me around town pretty cheaply.

BTW does anyone know the size of the nut on the front sprocket?

Thanks!

Welcome. You have got one of the better China bikes.

Welcome!

You had me at TS125!

I have a TS100 and a TS250, and sold my favourite last year, which was a TS185.

I loved my TS. I got it as a barn find when I was 13 to fix up as my first bike. My dad and I rode it around until it was stolen. It was later recovered in rough shape. When I moved I gave it to my cousin who is a better mechanic than me to restore it to it's former glory with the condition that if he ever decides to sell it, I will be first in line.

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Is the wife getting her jump wings?
