What did I get myself in to?

JarrettLeMieux · 09-19-2008, 07:15 PM

Well hello, ChinaRiders. This morning I bought a used 2006 Diamo LS200 Enduro. The previous owner(s) didn't exactly take the best care of it, so it needs a bit of work, but couldn't beat the price. Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'll ask all my millions of questions in the appropriate threads.

Welcome to the club, Brother!

If you want to take better care of it than the previous owner, you have come to the right place.

Be patient, and be prepared to spend some time. :wink:

Can we get some pics on the DS forum?

Thanks,
Tigertamer

Thanks for the welcome! I'm going to be taking pictures Sunday morning, and I will definitely post them.

Please try to use the search feature. It's not the best but it does narrow the topics down. The bike prep thread will help you. Apply for a gallery and post pics there if you want.

Good luck on the repairs and post your updates as you go.

If you need parts check the for sale section and post in the wanted.

welcome to the boards...........

Again, thanks for the welcomes. After doing some looking around the site, I found out that I bought the bike from someone who posted on here when they bought the bike...here's the thread...http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...ighlight=diamo

He used those same pictures when he sold it on Craigslist.

Does it still need that peg?

It's got footpegs on both sides, although the "shift lever" is too long for me, I can't shift with my foot on the peg. The rear brake lever does all of nothing, which is a good thing because what it does do is get stuck on some bolt in the pressed position.
