OK, not the 2f (congrats, jaxtell!!!) but Yingang--On Massimo's site, they have the Yingang bikes separate from their own bikes--The Yingang bike looks like this:

see the narrow tires?

The bike advertised as their own bike, the MSD-200 actually has the wider, Spud-Zong styled rear tire and is the bike that you would get whether you asked for the MSD-200 or the Yingang YG-8

I look forward to Jaxtell's 2f posts, and hope to get hold of the dealer in Phoenix to get a look at them myself--or to get my own Yingang!! :wink:

So my bike came in last week. I haven't really had much time to mess with it. Overall in real good shape except for a few small scuffs from shipping. No owners manual? Place for a tool kit under the side plastics, but no tool kit.

Went over it with wrenches, all of the mechanical pieces were good and tight. Some of the racks needed tightening. Triple checked the oil.

Overall, I love the way the little bike rides. It sits much bigger than I thought it would. I'm 6'3" so I didn't want it to look too small.

The heel shifter took a little getting used to (been a long time since that CT90).

Had to tweak the carb a little to get the idle right, then out 2.6 gallons of gas in it.

Haven't received the Certificate of origin as of yet. Massimo has been good to reply, but I haven't received the Cert, and can't get a tag without it.

Also, in our state, we have to pay 7% sales tax on any vehicle purchased out of state, when getting the tag.

I'll try to post pics later.

Anything new on this?

That config is very common found on Tibetan's bike (#150 in this link)
Honda GL145 body (The chinese version WY125-A that basically a true blooded Honda )+pushrod 200 machine
Honda CGL125 (Mexico ....) which had same frame & many parts can fitted on YG.
-
A guy knows which type of "horse" for Tibetan roads in previous trips around china , so bought a YG150-E
http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?3333 & later became the moderator of YG board : http://www.motorfans.com.cn/bbs/f_200.htm

Rode to work today, speedometer not consistent over 50KPH, would actually start decreasing in speed after 60? I'll check out both ends of he cable tonight. (Have 30 days in Ga to get a tag)

After getting to work (15 minutes), the idle was about 3000 RPM, turned the air screw out 1/4 turn to bring idle down.

Chrome on the exhaust started changing color (like normal).

Rode excellent! No complaints on how it handled and rode!

Thanks for the links humanbeing

Still waiting to hear on the certificate of origin. Massimo says they can't send another until Monday.

Still no word on a maintenance/owner's manual.

Awesome news! That looks like a seriously useful bike! :D

Sorry for the quality of the photos....

Please don't apologize; thank you for posting the excellent photographs! :D Your bike looks great! How is it running?

The saddle looks very comfortable. The luggage racks look very beefy, and robust! The instrumentation is very nice, and the guards on the bike are superb! :D

:( Minor Issues:
• Speedo - I tightened the ends, better but still wanders at speed. I'll remove the cable and check it.
• Idle - In order for the bike to idle when cold I adjusted the air screw on the side of the carb, when hot it idles at 3000 RPMs. I'll need to adjust the idle screw on the bottom (I'm thinking) to get that set correctly.
•ÂTach bounces around, esp. at higher RPMs.
• Odd discoloration on the exhaust unter the side rack (wish it was black like everything else).

:D Overall:
Had a great ride to work this morning. Getting more comfortable with the heel and toe shifter. Everyone likes the look of the bike. It is Comfortable! Have yet to take it off road.

It sounds as if your pilot mixture screw (PMS) is set too rich. ;) Wait until the engine is hot (not warm, hot), and adjust the PMS leaner. Be conservative, and adjust the PMS in 1/4-turn increments; ride a mile or so, and note the results. ;)

The discoloration in the muffler is probably caused by a flow restriction. I think you might have a catalytic converter placed in the muffler at that location. ;) I hope Weldangrind will offer his suggestions regarding the potential removal of this restriction. :)

How heavy is this bike? Please do keep us updated! Your bike is one of the most interesting models I have yet seen; I love agricultural bikes! :D We would also love to see more closeup photographs, and photos of the bike off road. :D

Does your bike have a centerstand?

Spud :)

I just viewed the Chinese video you posted earlier, and I see the bike does have a centerstand! :D This is a great little bike, Jax! Please remind us; how much does it cost? How do you like the customer service you have received from the vendor, et cetera?

P.S. I hope you are being extra nice to your wonderful wife who ordered this bike for you, Jerry! ;)

Spud :)

Spud,
The bike was just under $1500 shipped to a dock through Ebay from Massimo (I talked to Jeff). Lift gate service $50 extra to residential. I love having a center stand. will be especially helpful when loaded. Bike is light (about 275 pounds).

That is dead sexy!I would put some small round offroad LED lights, in the upper hoops, on the front crash guard.Are these available in the US?I'm digging it with a spoon.

I forgot to mention, I really like the headlight, also! This bike would make a great little adventure motorcycle. :)
