SHORT STORY: I’m a trucker so I’d love to know all locations in the US that y’all have had good experiences with.

LONG STORY: dealer sold me a KP mini. It hasn’t been running right. It idles all over the place and constantly dies. That dealer is very hard to get ahold of and there aren’t a lot of dealers that do work on those bikes. I’m not quite equipped or experienced enough to do the work myself. So I need to know where to fix this and any other problems in the future. Thanks in advance!

Not many places will want to touch a China Bike. Don't know why because it's no different than any other bike. Your best bet would be to find another member near you that has experience with these bikes to help with tuning. If your bike is completely stock it would explain the running issues. These bikes come tuned very lean from the factory. A simple jet replacement and idle mixture adjustment will make you bike run so much better.

I usually take mine to my carport.

Your best bet is to find someone who knows motorcycle mechanics and will give you advice -- because likely he will not want to work on it himself. The problem is parts -- not that you can't find them, but you almost have to hold a part in your hand to do a side-by-side comparison with the original to make sure you have the right one. It's not like walking in to a Honda parts department and asking for a part for a CBR300. At best you will find a picture online of a part you need and you'll have to order it from an obscure source, maybe in China, wait for it to arrive and then discover...
