hehe well..not quite. But I did have to check torque and use some locktite but to be honest..these chinabikes have come a very long way. you just have to be able to turn a wrench to own one and regular maintenance is necessary. Although based on old Honda, they are most definitely not old Honda. But, the engines are bulletproof.

 Here is the rest of it.







Ignore the mess we are rednecks in WV..so..it is what it is. Anyway, this is the bike when I first bought it. I have since added quite a few mods and I have about $2100 in it at this point and over 5000 miles since May. SO MUCH CHEAP FUN!! Perfect for the backroads around here, but not powerful enough to maintain highway speeds above 60 so backroads and secondary or town only. STILL so much FUN on these crappy gravel roads!

Does it come with lead paint? I'm surprised the frame holds up that's made from chineseium

I expect torque specs would be an issue with any product that has been built with child labor.  Now if the Uyghurs were forced to build them you might have a good product.

That thing looks like a blast to ride. I'd be getting some air for sure.

Nice looking bike! Don't worry about the boomers saying its a Chinese death trap, everything is built like crap now a days america being no exception. At least China stuff is cheap and easy to work on. Like you said just check the bolts for tightness and change the crappy stock rubber fuel lines and it'll hold up just fine.

Where does it get a tachometer signal from? Inductive wire wrapped around the spark plug wire or does it tie into the CDI somehow?

the upgraded dash plugged into places already present on the bike, its almost like they planned this. Anyway, I did have an cheapo tach attached with a wire around spark plug wire that worked fine.

you guys are funny, look around you..everything is made in China. I don't expect it to last forever, but its boatloads of fun right now and when it breaks the parts are so cheap and readily available on amazon, ebay alibababa that its almost funny when you compare the cost to fixing other name brand stuff. anyways. it is CHEAP FUN!!!! <S>

Best pay top union dollar for made in America before you are accused of being a communist here

Cheap China products will/have ruined American manufacturing...electric cars are next

It is unfortunate that some folks still need a union. If they were better workers, they could make it on their own.
