Chinese Atv's

[FPV TRANNY]

Well after ignoring (well more chosing to disregard rather than ignore) sound and sensible advice, I outlayed $5,500 for 3 Chinese quads. Just could'nt justify spending 5 times that on the "proper" jobbies.

In short I now have a new hobby, namely MOTOR BIKE MECHANIC

In four weeks of use I have had to replace 2 broken chains, 1 throttle cable, a large section of plastic faring, fix a leaking petrol tank, recharge flat batterys, remove several broken cosmetic appendages and retighten / replace 175 nuts and bolts.

So in summary, as warned the Bikes are  and should be stayed well clear of, unless you are happy to spend your days searching replacement parts and nights putting them back together.

On a positive note after spending a total of 4 fault free hours exploring the surrounding bushland with my two sons and seeing their smiling faces after conquering a few"Gigantic and Awesome" Hillclimbs. (their assessment) I could almost say it's been worth the grief and financial outlay.........almost.

I'll let you know how things are going in a few months

.............Oh and Daddy's got the bug and is seriously considering getting a 450 Raptor

Hopefully the bikes are ok after you have done some work to them,

also I think you mean a yfz450 or a raptor 700.

CLOSING CHAPTER OF THE CHINESE QUAD BIKE SAGA........

Won't bore you with an updated list of repairs however the Chinese Quads are dead, cease to exist, they are no more! Well actually there under some tarpolines at the back of the shed awaiting their fate.

They have been replaced by two new Raptor 80's which to date have provided a combined 10 hours of fault free enjoyable, smooth and rattle free motoring

expensive lesson learnt

Oh and Dads 700 Raptor is getting booked in for a custom tune in a couple of weeks once the go fast bits arrive

My work bought a container full of these suckers just for their employees and I bought a 49cc mini quad for my nephew for $190.

Couldn't get it started at first, so I pulled the carby apart and the jet was blocked, fixed that, pulled the cord and it kicked over sweet as.

I ride it around my parents yard with my nephew between my legs till he gets used to it as he is only 4.

F#*!kin hammers for a little bike of that size and parts are pretty easy to get also
