I agree, great looking bike

Very nice bike!

Proven, bullet proof motor.....
Read a bunch on the 'normal Honda-noid" fixes here and you'll be good-to-go!

3 important things first.
One.....Make sure there's space between your rear brake lever actuater and the rear master cylinder plunger when your foot's not touching it. If you don't, as you ride, the rear brake will heat up and start dragging and eventually lock up until it cools. My rear disk is a cool color now because of that and it only happens 5 miles from your truck.
Second....I guarantee your valves are to tight. Adjust them.
Third....Set the idle mixture screw (the one that points straight down behind the floatbowl) at 2 turns out from stop. Then adjust as needed.

Nice machine. 8)

It looks like the plug wire is a little close to the exhaust pipe. You can trim it if necessary.

Yup!

My buddy's HSUN's rear brake locked up while riding about 50 MPH. I'm so glad he was able to ride it to a stop. 8O

+1 on the valve check as well. If you've not done it already check out the Dual Sport Preparation thread.

Ill be getting the same bike, what is this about the valves being too tight? Is there a little tutorial on adjusting them properly?

Yes, there is an excellent tutorial on valve adjustment in the Tech Sticky posted at the top of the Dual Sport Forum.

Welcome to these forums, Joe. We are glad you joined us.

I don't know of any Chinese motorcycles with a magnetic pickup for the speedometer. Therefore, I'm pretty confident the TMEC's speedometer is connected to a mechanical cable.

It is most definitely a speedo cable since mine broke and I had to buy a new one from a UK dealer on ebay.
