Hello ChinaRiders!
I wanted to say Hi, and thank you to everyone here at ChinaRiders. I bought
my 2006 Qlink X-Ranger 200 in the summer of 2009 with the help of this site. It came with the dual purpose tires not mounted with inner tubes, and only had 61 miles on the odo. The bike was in brand new condition, and it turns out it was originally purchased from a dealer new in 2007 in the same town I live in for $1,850. The original owner never had it titled or registered and then decided to part ways with it at a pawnshop a few miles from where I live. So I paid $1,200 and took it home. Not a bad price considering I didn't have to pay for shipping, and what came with it. I live in Northwest Arkansas, and there are a few good places to ride trails not far from where I live. I now have 1007 miles on the bike and have decided to take it apart for several mods I am going to do. I am an over the road truck driver so I am only on the internet infrequently while I am working. After doing some of the mods I've seen on this site to this bike, I can honestly say that it only gets much better and much more fun! Thanks again, and good riding to all! |

I believe that's the Q version of the Zongshen Sierra. I want one bad. Good score.
Welcome! Spudrider is the master of Zong mods.

Dual sport rear tires in 15" are rarer than hen's teeth.

Thank you, Weldangrind, FastDoc, and SpudRider! Nice to meet you
gentlemen on these forums! This is actually the first forum online that I have been a participant on it's really pretty fun, but I'm still learning how to use computers so I apologize for being a bit slow. So far I have the 13t countershaft sprocket (not installed), stainless exhaust header with fmf turbinecore2 silencer, polisport front fender, drc edge2 tailight with led turn signals and electronic flasher. Right now the Zong is stripped down with the gas tank removed as I am getting ready to do more mods to it over the winter season, and unfortunately I don't have any pics of it b4 beginning to take it apart. Hopefully gathering parts will go well in time for next riding season. |
