Besides various stripped out bolts, stripped out frame holes,throttle grip wont get tighten enough to not move with those crappy phillips screws, and my plastics having scrape marks, everything went together pretty decent. Bike looks good, going to fire it up sometime this week after i get the brakes adjusted, and some holes in the frame retapped. I seriously need to to replace those junk phillps screws that hold the throttle grip and the electric start assembly on.

Those junk Philips screws are probably not Philips screws ,they are more than likely JIS ,and are slightly different .Using a proper screw driver helps a lot .They used to be made out of butter ,but due to budget cuts they are now using "I can't believe it's not butter "

Took the first ride yesterday. Throttle cable, and idle screw were the only adjustments i had to make. Clutch was fine. I replaced those crappy screws on the throttle grip with hex heads.. Much better. Bike ran awesome, seem to have plenty of power, and took hills with ease. Anybody else use 20w 50 to break in their motor? Is it ok to be running 55mph at 6000 rpm for long period of time on these after break in?.... I am a noob at these single cylinder motors.

Good looking bike! :tup:
Even with the correct screwdriver, a China JIS screw can make you sad. I took a few screw samples into the local fastener shop and bought handfuls of stainless socket head cap screws; that allows me to carry a few allen wrenches, rather than a JIS screwdriver. |

That could be as simple as clutch cable lubrication. I recommend a cable luber. I use Maxima Chain Wax on my cables.

Also, make sure it's properly adjusted as well as lubed. See this link. It's for the TT250 but it should be basically the same: http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/Articles.asp?ID=298 Most CG motors I've had usually hate to find neutral at a stop but have always shifted well. The clutch may seem a bit chattery on occasion, especially when new, but after what I've put my Rhino clutch through, I have no doubt about its durability. |

Awesome, thanks for everybodys help. Yeah, I've only put 3.5 miles on it. Basically took it out, and made sure it ran good. The digital speedo seems to be about 2 - 3 mph faster according to my gps. No big deal. I'm really enjoying it so far. The real test will be when i hit the trails with it. I need to put together a tool bag to take with me. Whats the main tools to include is what im investigating now.
