Took the Chinese bike dive!!!

macbookielol · 10-06-2015, 03:58 PM

Hello greetings from Holland.
New to this forum and modern Chinese bikes.
I Have experience with the Chang Jiang 750cc flathead sidecar BMW clone in the past, but am new to modern Chinese bikes.
After looking for a affordable light motorcycle i came across the Apollo Orion RX 250 Motard.
Since we have the Benelux importer of these bikes and an other dealer compagnie network whom also sells these bikes and spare parts here in Holland with fair prices, it seems despite there almost without existing warranty compared to A brands a somewhat tricky decision on my part of buying one.
And yet i did, i bought her for 850€ six years old with 3250km on her.
She rides very nice despite a broken radiator sensor and without a working gear indicator.
Still i hope to fix these minor things and ride her for many kilometres to come.

Your gear indicator is likely a pinched and broken wire right where it enters the side case of the motor. Seems to be a pretty common issue.

Welcome!

Welcome! I'd love to see pictures of your CJ750; I've wanted one for a long time.
