Hello from NYC
Well I am a new Kinroad owner. My brother owned the vehicle for 10 years and only road it for a grand total of 225 miles. It has a rev limter so he stopped riding it. This vehicle has sat for all these years until this summer I decided to put it together.
I havent road a bike for 20 years so its a good introductory bike. its a 2000 Kinroad Xt 200 Gy. http://www.kinroad.net/images/motorcycle/xt200gy/05.jpg http://www.kinroad.net/images/motorcycle/xt200gy/06.jpg http://www.kinroad.net/images/motorcycle/xt200gy/01.jpg |
Welcome to the forum. :D Nice ride!
I only rode a bike once in Manhattan. A 750 Nighthawk. The experience was, shall I say, intense. :wink: |
Welcome!
Does the bike run now? |
yes the bike is working just finding parts is problem.
the bike has rusted in some spots but i have ridden. |
Welcome to the forums! :) When searching for parts for chinese bikes, ebay is your best friend!

Welcome! :) I have discovered walking is difficult in Manhattan; riding a bike must be quite intense. 8O
Search eBay using generic terms such as "dirt bike brake pads." Most of these Chinese bikes usually employ the same front brake calipers, et cetera. ;) What specific parts are you searching for? Spud :) |
I have ridden in many cities. Manhattan was the most difficult, Miami was the most dangerous, and San Francisco was the most fun.
|
Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York City. ;) I bet one could ride more safely in Staten Island than in Manhattan. :)
Spud :) |
No comparison. I missed he was not in Manhattan.
|
Yeah Manhattan can be dangerous. I was riding down there today in the village. Brooklyn is even worse.
I just received a new Killswitch but it doesnt work but the ignition does. My fuse is blowing while I am riding which is terrible. I have no idea why its doing this..... |

+1 for San Fran baby!

I still cant find out why the killswitch dont work yet. The ignition switch works though weird. |
The kill switch won't work because it's not completing the circuit to ground. While that sounds trite, it really is that simple. When you turn the kill switch off, you're actually connecting one terminal of the CDI to ground. Either the ground wire has broken, the wire to the CDI has broken or the switch simply isn't completing the circuit.

P.S. I agree with Weld regarding your malfunctioning kill switch. ;) Spud :) |

I did upgrade the CDI because the bike had a rev limiter but now I have to do a thorough investigation. Its safe to assume that I have to open up all the wires that lead from the killswitch and CDI? If you or anyone has any suggestions would be good. |
Before you go any further, did the repairs to the ground wires solve the problem?

I fixed the wires under the light, fixed the stator connections, also suprisingly the battery was part of the issue. Now its just the kill switch. So I have to rip the thing apart and find all the grounds. I will take a picture of it tomorrow. I ride without side panels makes it look mean. This winter I will paint it a canary yellow. |
I think that there is a Kylon Fusion in the yellow you're after; it works really well on plastic.
If your kill switch and key switch won't shut the bike off, then there is still a ground wire that needs to be repaired (as you suspect). I would start by following the ground wire from the kill switch and see where it goes. |
I know its been quite a while. But I never got the kill switch quite fixed. But other than that it ran well.
Unfortunately I was in accident during the winter in Manhattan the only damage to myself I dislocated my finger snapped that bad boy back put guerrilla tape around the finger. While I was out the country also someone hit the bike and it sustained additional damage. I just returned recently. Now the bike will not turn over I will youtube it tomorrow to see if anyone has any suggestions. The sad part is I had just purchased new tires, new rear brake, another muffler which I never put on (looking to mod a sport bike muffler), changed the gas tank from metal to plastic (which I was so happy about because had it still been metal it would have been utterly damaged),among some other products. I have to replace all the fairings/plastics. Cant really fine them. But if I can get this puppy going. I think I want the shineray 200xyi plastics. The lower arm the rubber ran out so we replaced the rubber where the long pipe went. Wish me luck and if you have any suggestions on upgrades please do not hesitate to suggest. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...03423887_n.jpg |
You snapped your finger back in by yourself? 8O

I always wear my TMS pads under garments and shell. This day I was in normal clothes because I rode to work so I was going to be careful. Traffic was moving at a nice speed we had all green lights and traffic was cruising. A cab stopped short for a passenger and I couldnt stop in time and I tried to go from one lane to the other while trying to slow down. I clipped a hummer and lost that war. I know if I was riding my brothers KLR 650 it would have been a worse and terrible situation. |
This site has most of the hard to find parts for your bike. Also roketa DB-07 parts are interchangable
http://www.china-parts.co.uk/acatalo..._Explorer.html http://www.china-parts.co.uk/acatalo...Body_Sets.html http://www.roketa.com/product/produc...ID=0&proID=255 |
Www.runmasterusa.com is who distribute Kinroad in the US

I wasnt sure which Roketa was the match thanks for that info. If I'm not mistaken also the Zongshen bikes are also comparable. |
I know the zongshen diamo LS 200 is. I have some parts of all these bikes on mine.

Just a quick update. I was out the country for a little while and my brother and I decided to get the bike going again. After my small accident the engine wouldnt turnover. I decided to add all my new parts to the bike anyway since it was not working (All the parts I had sitting in my home before the accident). I met with Tvnacman (Dealer & Distributor thread) the engine is blown awesome man and website http://www.testedscooterparts.com/index.php. The bike sat for years and kind of was weathered. I will give the engine to Tvnacman and my brother and I will go to town on the wiring and some of the weathered parts.
Although I am in the process of purchasing another bike I am keeping this one. I love this bike. My only real complaint is the fairings. They are WAY to stiff no give and crack to easy. If anyone knows of better option let me know. I have to do a small modification to the gas tank fairing because the new plastic tank is slightly larger than the original metal gas tank. http://www.china-parts.co.uk/acatalog/BW018000L.jpg |
Thanks for posting the update. :) I'm glad you are not giving up on the bike. :tup:
