another FL china rider, xf200

Rizn · 04-11-2008, 09:09 PM

I have been reading from this forum for like 2 months, and Have to tell everybody here that u rock, I have had china atvs for a while now, We use them every weekend, and we ride them thru mud and jump em in the dirt. I bought all three for less then it cost for one jap bike, granted if it wasnt for forums like this they wouldnt run, because I wouldnt know how to fix them. So with gas insanely hi, I decided I needed a bike and that even though china bikes have shitty welds and inferior parts, they are cheap and because of people and forums like this I could fix it if it broke. So I got the Q link xf200 last week verses a 1994 jap 225 enduro( for the same price). 345km so far so good.

Rizn · 04-11-2008, 10:55 PM

thanks, had it at 70mph (only for a very brief time) rpm at about 9.5, handled well, so far very pleased with the bike.

welcome from another florida guy.....

Rizn · 04-12-2008, 08:31 PM

New smyrna beach, Nice I like the black, mine is silver, yeah I have had it in the dirt too, I think it needs knobby tires, but I like the way it handles on the road, I work on a ranch in Oak hill, takes me 40 mins and its half dirt roads that can get kinda knarly, bike handles fine till i get in the soft, mods, yeah but from where, guess we will be the mod ginny pigs, I would be happy to get it 70 mph at 8000 rpm, I wonder if it is possible

Welcome from another Florida rider.

volksjagger · 04-14-2008, 11:24 PM

that is my goal as well. i will get the bike to cruise 65 to 70 mph without it being maxed out. carb and sprocket modificatons.

Rizn · 04-27-2008, 12:54 AM

Hey volks, (EDIT CANT SPELL so i took it out), I read up on your post on motojunkieeeeeeeeee, did you change your sprocket, front or back, and did you get it to 80,

volksjagger · 04-28-2008, 01:47 AM

rizn22,

no not yet. i have the front sprocket sitting here but i am waiting for tytnpwr to install it! he was a mechanic previously so i am trusting him with it. we were supposed to get together yesterday but he had to work an extra day for ot so it did not happen.

i have not bought the rear sprocket yet. going to put that off just a little while. will probably do that at the same time i do the exhaust. sometime next month.
