Super job on the 250cc yam swap I was thinking about the fusion paint since some years ago it did a great job on those plastic lawn chairs. I think I just saw one around here still showing its red paint. I was thinking about auto paint but I see that fusion says no sanding and priming. That's worth a try for a quick easy job PAINT IT BLACK |

That is interesting information, HB. I fall into the "as you like" category.

Last year the trip meter stopped working on my original speedometer. On Friday I installed a new metric speedometer, which I bought at Taobao. I use the trip odometer to let me know when I need to refuel. I also like starting out with a new speedometer to record the mileage for my fresher, Yamaha engine.

Officially, it's still a 2006 Zongshen ZS200GY-2. Unofficially, I am calling the bike my YamaZong Phoenix.

True true you have to stay with the state titled application.
Hopefully one of these days I'll actually recieve my title!

Minor hijack: My Rhino took about 2 months total between getting the first paperwork in the mail to sign and send back, then to receive the temp, then to receive the pink. Here in CA, the dealer/seller has to register it for you. Beats going to DMV. It's never leaving the property anyway so I didn't care much.
Back to our regularly schedules Yamazong thread.

Great work Spud!!!
Mud puddles suck. Glad for the ATV rescue. The YZP will now make it over 100,000 miles, provided the Japanese knock off Zong engine (tongue in cheeck) is as good as the Chinese original. Sounds like a great perfomance upgrade too, the six speed in particular. Thank God for an early spring, looks like good riding out there in Spudland!

Just catching up. Thanks for the confirmation that the XT has a higher sixth gear than the Zong's fifth. I also procured an XT225, and I plan to use the innards on my TW.

Sweet exchange Spud. Yamazong will be a real pleasure to ride now after you resurrected it. You can be proud of saving another scoot from the landfill. Hate to ask but gotta ask whats the story with the mud puddle eating your bike? Did you get your undies wet? rj
ps , paint it red and really confuse people, just saying
