Since I choose to wrench on my own stuff, I'd rather negotiate a lower price and forget the warranty, similar to Jim's response.

I was curious of peoples opinions about the warranty. All feedback is good whether it is good or bad! That's how we become better as a company.
I agree with 90 days for off road vehicles. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the end. Quality and reliability will be a big issue for Chinese branded bikes when it comes to insurance purposes. The proof is in the pudding. I couldn't believe how many importers are closing because of this(Both in the US and Canada). Coast to Coast who was the Lifan distributor closed its doors in Canada... |

That's not exactly true. Coast to Coast is now known as Quad Tek or Xingyue Canada and is selling a new range of products. For the record, the guys over there were always great to deal with.
I have a suggestion for your parts, offer an easy method to lower the bike. The dual sports are too high for a lot of people, you should have altered suspension linkage available, and so on. I needed to lower my gy6, but I cheated and put in a shorter shock.

The negative person can do 10 times the damage as the 1 positive person. I did read the CL post about the wheels flying off... however they've been in business for quite a while and you can't last that long without mostly happy customers. |

It seems to me that the Chinese motorcycle, in general, appeals to the "old school" motorcycle type, the guy that isn't afraid to fix/adjust things, and has the ability to do just that. The Japanese (and American) manufacturers have moved (or tried to distance themselves) from "all that", from showrooms resembling museums, to inaccessible service departments, in, at least their own minds, they have grown past that.
Yes, it is in our future to do business with "businessmen", but sometimes these "businessmen" forget the reasons why we can be "bothered" with them. |

I'm a mechanic (in addition to being a doctor) so I have fun with the CB thing. I can afford as many JB's as I like, and I have more than a few, but I still like the humble little CB.
Also, I like hanging out with you nuts. :roll: That said, I cashed out of my HSUN while it was still in good shape with 2700 off road km's on it and went for the Q. Super discount price (my friend sells them) and a 2 year warante, and as I said, my friend is the dealer so I know it will be taken care of. CB's are just for fun.

Just another data point on the warranty issue. All the high end off road bikes are sold sans warranty to the best of my knowledge and people know this up front and still plunk down over 6k for a Honda CRF150 R as I did last year for my 14yr old.
At the other end of the spectrum I've purchased 50cc pocket bikes with 14 day warranty (company sounds like "playnac"). I think the high end line attracts the more knowledable crowd personally. My son does not race, but he had 4 bikes prior to this one and finally earned it. Lower end sales are driven by price alone and you get people who honestly expect a 1k bike to be like a 5k name brand bike and they get frustrated in the first 15 minutes. Anyway, my .02 only, and my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it. Pete |

Excuse me members of the Sinclair business, I would suggest that you attempt to behave here, or your posting privileges will be revoked.
