Hello from Australia
Hello everybody.
This is a great forum. I've been reading a lot lately and going through the posts. I’ve learned so much, more than all the years I had my bike. Some great info. Wish I found this forum earlier. I have Zongshen LZX200 GY-2 it’s 06 model but got in 07. I can say that I am very happy with it. I did try to make this bike go faster going to different mechanics but they were unwilling or just didn’t want to bother. That's the only thing I am dissapointed about this bike. I did give up on it and just used it as it is. But now thanks to great people here and Spud I am starting to see some light. So that’s about it. My bike doesn’t have any modifications. Apart from painting plastic some of it in yellow. Thank you |

gday mate, where you from? I'm an exPom in country vic, got a Kinlon 200 DS.
had some teething problems, nothing major and because of injury ive only done a couple of thousand km in a couple of years but that is off road as much as on. Good fun! I changed the rear sprocket which helped with top speed, not sure anything else is really worth it on these things but always keep my eyes open for mods. Yours is a well liked machine as you will have seen here. Lets have some pics eh? |

Thank you Jim and FastDoc.
Hey Jape, I live in mid north coast of nsw. I've never seen Kinlon 200 ds before. Looks similar to zongshen. I am also looking at changing front sprocket. Tried that before with a mechanic but he couldn't find it. I might have more luck this time. I have 15 tooth stock looking to change to 16 tooth. We'll see how it goes. Sorry to hear about your injury. [img=http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/438/img8028fi.th.jpg] Hope this works. This image is from few months ago. Just before the spring i think. You can see the mountains in the background. Also rain in the distance.

So, we have great people, and then there's Spud? I guess that makes him the King of great people. I hope that you and your family have been safe throughout the terrible weather you've had lately.

Nice pic and a great place to ride. I've not seen an yellow Zong before. Looks good!

Welcome to these forums, fellow Zongite! We are very glad you joined us. Thanks for posting the photo of your Zong; your bike looks great! You did a nice job painting the tank shroud yellow.
I'm curious; why do you want to to acquire a 16T, countershaft sprocket? My experience indicates the Zong sold in the United States if geared to high from the factory, so I usually recommend switching to a smaller countershaft sprocket. In any event, a 16T, countershaft sprocket might be difficult to acquire. If you wish to gear you bike higher, I would recommend a smaller rear sprocket. You can learn a lot about Zong sprockets by reading the following thread. http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=7565 Spud

Spud i appreciate very much all the work you've put in researching this stuff and posting it here for us to read. With all this info it's so much easier. Believe it or not i wanted to make my Zong go faster since i got it, and after 3 plus years it will probably come to fruition. Hey better late then never. |
