Zongshen bikes are now being dropped shipped, was yours spud? They did not want that, they seemed to want to go through brick and mortar dealers, a traditional business model.

I do not think parts are an issue currently, any exisitng zong dealer can get you a part.

I did not buy my Zongshen 200GY-2 motorcycle from a dealer. In the year 2008, I bought my Zong from an independent importer, who sold it to me out of his garage. This seller had an advertisement in the Seattle, Washington Craigslist. I telephoned him, and emailed him, as I negotiated the purchase. I then searched the internet, and found a shipping company to deliver my Zong to Idaho. I paid $950 for my new, in-the-crate, 2006 Zongshen motorcycle. I paid the shipper $238 to deliver my motorcycle to Idaho. I did not get any warranty coverage with my motorcycle. Fortunately, I did not need any warranty coverage.

I have never had any problems getting parts for my Zongshen motorcycle. Any Zong owner can easily purchase parts from Zongshen America, Phil, or any authorized Zongshen dealer. The Kingstone 130/90-15 dual sport tires, however, are a different matter.
