Qlink xp 200 modifications
Hello everyone, I purchased a Qlink xp 200 at the beginning of summer and loving it. I have put about 4,400 miles on it and can say this is an outstanding bike. But now that cold weather is setting in I would like to start tinkering with it. Any preformance ideas, or links to get some upgrades would be greatly appreciated.

JP Motorsports in San Diego sells sprockets, jet kits, and a fitted FMF muffler for the Q.
The Edge II tailight is a fine upgrade. A rear rack if you can find one is helpful. Full on knobbies make a big difference if you are mostly off road. Welcome to the forum. Any mod that works for a Suzuki DR200SE will work for Q. Where do you live? My only winter mod was a plug for my electric vest and gloves. Ride on, brother!

looks good, id say a nice fmf pipe would look great on it, and modding the plate holder on the rear end to be smaller would drastically change the looks.. spud should be chimming in on the plate holder for the rear end i think he modded his

Thank you for posting the photos, Chan; your bike looks great! Anyone who posts photos in his first thread is definitely starting out on the right foot. Keep up the good work, and you will quickly become very popular here at China Riders!
It's hard to tell with the bright lighting; is your bike silver, or white? Whether its silver, or white, you own a sharp looking motorcycle. The QLinks motorcycles are great little bikes. Spud

I was wondering if the universal fmf muffler for a 2-stroke bike would work on my qlink, and if I would have to rejet the bike?

I am pretty certain you will need to rejet your carburetor with the FMF silencer, but it is not difficult. The members of these forums will be glad to assist you. Spud

you should get to under stand what each jet does and at what range of throttle the jet functions, i have several threads over in the atv area about it. including one that i think is labeled carb jetting instructions. that has a link to a great picture and write up of each jet and where it works in the throttle range.. once you get the jetting dialed in and the air fuel screw dialed in the bike will feel like awhole nother bike completely

Here's a good tutorial on changing jets.
http://www.formtechservices.com/dirt...com/Rejet.html Ignore the jet sizes and motorcycle mentioned. This shows you how to change them with the least hassle. I did it in less than 5 minutes for both jets. It doesn't show how to change the idle jet but you will see that on top when you rotate the carb. |
