New Vbike V4SW liquid cooled 250cc atv. [b] PIC HEAVY [/b]
 

Ordered on Monday at 2 and it arrived in Fla on Thur at 2. Sweet

Came packaged the same as my 250 enduro did, boxed in a steel crate with the Correct paperwork taped to the seat.

Arms down and drums on. Drums have a rubber cover over them that should help to keep debris out. Or maybe keep it in. I guess I will find out. :wink:

Need to figure out how to get rid of the wording on the seat. :roll:

Some of the decals I removed almost had me in tears..............:lol:

More to follow after V-day :wink:

Thank you!
 

UD, thanks for the great photos! I am popping the corn and getting ready to enjoy a great thread! :D

P.S. You have got to love the "Chinglish" on those stickers! :wink:

Spud :)

When I read stuff like that I try to figure out how they are thinking about what they are talking about or I guess how they process information.

It is interesting and amusing to me but I cant help but picture the puzzled faces they make at our language.

Ahh a new toy....nothing like a new toy.

Sweet! :D Congrats on the new wheels.

I wish I had a place to ride a 4 wheeler. My dad has a Big Bear he uses for hunting, but I haven't ridden it since my friend traded it to him. I probably shouldn't have told him about flipping it, jumping it, or getting it stuck in some nasty mud...lol





Popcorn have none I for eat but too await more pictoral review good in time. 8O :P

Congrats, it's fun getting them in a crate isn't it ? :)

Thanks a bunch for the pictures and the info. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. My thoughts on the safety stickers is that they are trying to use some type of Chinese to English conversion and the results is what we get. I had a warning sticker that read "read this carefully or you will be killed". Needles to say I read it very carefully! (I don't take threats lightly)!!!

That is the best one I have ever heard! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Spud :)

Wife has the flu and we have a 12 month old so I am limited to working on it after both of them are in bed. Here is the latest. So far I am very impressed.


This is pretty much all the hardware.

This quad uses a 530 chain... :D

Looking good, bet you can't wait to get it muddy?

You know I was thinking of just that last night when I realized there are No grease fittings on any of the front end joints. As a matter of fact the lower ball joints are welded in. :roll:

Good thing I don't plan on this being a mud runner.......

That thing is a far cry better than my ChinaBlaster I'd ride it.

How tunable are those shocks they look nice.

I did not see a pic of the right rear. The left rear appears to have the tire mounted backwards. Maybe you just need to swap rears?

The shocks are nitrogen filled, and have a pretty long run of threads for adjustment. I assume that's where the adjustment would be. I know the cheapy little tool kit that cam with it had a (I think its called spanner) wrench in there.

:lol: At first I thought "Damn buddy, give me a little credit."

Then I remembered, that is exactly something I am capable of doing, so I had to go look, and it is on right. Valve stem out. The do have a pretty goofy offset though.

Seeing how there is absolutely zero instructions I am depending on common sense or lack there of..... :lol:

Do any of you ever wonder where these marketers of Chinese bikes would be with just a little marketing help. How about decent instructions, and assembly pictures and maybe some higher quality technical info.

Will this ATV require a C-Clip adjustment?

Was'nt talking about the valve stems. I was refering to the directional tread patern on the tires.
Good looking machine! Congrats.

Looks really good universal! Have you thought about wheel spacers?
I put them on mine and it really seemed to help a lot.

Anyone want to tell me what wheel spacers are?

They are spacers that move the tires out to give a wider track. Some screw on the studs, and some are just like big washers to go between the axle and the rim. Problem comes when you go too far and put extra stress on things that were not engineered to handle that wide of a footprint. Personally I think its worth the chance.

I don't know why, but all the quads I have ever seen have a more narrow track in the rear, it looks retarded.

Nice to hear from you again... :D

Yes as a matter of fact I was going to look tonight for the thread where you talked about the spacers. Your went on the threads correct?

Got them off of Ebay?



Yes, I had them on backwards. Never fails, I always do at least one "Doh" thing per project. I of all people should have caught that. I have been running Swampers on my Jeeps for ever. Most of them have been directional. Thanks for pointing it out before any of my friends came over and saw it. :oops:

Tonight I got the fenders on. Had to redo the hardware situation for the foot pegs/guards. I also got the rear brakes bolted up.
Handle bar adjusted and tightened. Lines seem to be ok and in a chaff free position.

Front bumper on, and started the rear rack.

Some have said that they put stress on the wheel,but I had no problems.Also I have not read any actual problems from people who have used them on an ATV sight that I belong to.
these are the ones I used on the rear tires.

With the three inch spacers

I wonder if the studs on mine are the same.

Those are what I need. Thanks.

I just hate to waste 30 bucks if they are the wrong thread size.

If in doubt I would ask Tim, But I am almost sure you have a 10mm hub.Most Chinese quads are.

Here is the final product with all the goofy decals removed. I will do some vids as soon as I can. So far, all I can say is that I am damn glad I saved about 6 grand and went with this quad. Is it Jap quality? Umm No.... Is it good enough for a first learner? Hell yes. Is it worth the twelvehundo ? Absolutely.

I will enjoy it till I break it beyond repair, then buy another. :wink:

Once again I am the Guinea Pig. I Have a buddy doing a Utility and another one doing the same quad I just did. I will probably do more pics for the Utility. I know not everyone cares to read this stuff, but when I was searching CR I wish I would have found a few more posts like this. :)

Wheel spacers for the rear are coming.
If anyone needs any close ups or different pics just ask.

Looks great. I think you are going to be happy with the wheel spacers too. The rear looks too narrow otherwise.



Allen

I am glad you are taking the time to fill us in, it is a great education. Hey, please encourage your friend that is buying the utility, to post his opinion. I know many people in my area who are watching to see what you think of yours. My associates are farmers and outdoors people and are mostly the utility type.

I would be more likely to purchase a utility quad too.

Wow,Thats a nice 1200.00 ride!Looks better then the V4S for sure.Did you check to see if it has the LLL on the motor bolts?I was wondering if that is the Lifan motor on it as well?

Yeah I'm picking up the v4sw becuz of all the good things v4s has had said I looked into a few things of what people were saying about the water cooled one and could not pass ordered today wish me luck!!

Who did you order it from, and what is the cost? Good luck with it.

Congrats tehspec64, Good luck to you as well!

Kman I forsee a V4SW in your future, you know you want one :D

Nice ATV UD, the Vbikes are really coming along way with the upgrades over the V4S.

Ordered from vbike and being shipped here for 1300! If all goes well I'm looking at an enduro if they get em in :( , I guess they go like hotcakes, on a saturday morning.

I hope you enjoy it. So far I have no complaints with either of my purchases from Tim, I think the Wife will soon be talked into a Utility :D

I sometimes still miss my enduro. I just got street scared and it had to go.
Was not fun for me any longer. 8O


On a side note I did just have my first problem with the Quad.

Not a big deal but a pain to find. 2 second call to Tim and all was clear.

The start button is not exactly secured very well against people like me who believe if it doesnt start imediatly then you just push harder on the starter button :roll: My bad I know, but here are the pics anyway.

No comments from the funny farm on my paintshop labels.

I hope this makes sense, the switch will push in from the outside and will no longer make contact when pushed. I put a little piece of rubber behind it to fill the gap so when I fat finger it there will be no way for it to push in.

Other issue had was the fuel shut off valve. Manual says it is on the right of the tank, I found it under the tank. Not sure what is open reserve (if there is one) or what is closed. I will have to pull the line off the carb and work it I guess. Should the arrow point towards the fuel line output nipple?

Looks decent. I have been following this thread and been looking for info on this wheeler so I am glad to see some posting. Anyway that you could get some video of it running and you riding it? At the least could you take a picture with an adult on it so I can get an idea of the size of the unit? Some units are sold as adult but just youth type with bigger tires.

Good luck and keep posting as I will be watching.

Matt

Some times you can use the tire size as a gauge on actual size, but a picture would be cool. I called V Bike and they have a new 300 utility coming in, I will let you know what it looks like, and if I like it I may order one. I won't know anything for a week or so, but he said he will get back to me when info is available.

I have some questions regarding upgrading these. Does a performance style air filter, performance exhaust, NGK spark plug, and rejetting help these like it does the enduro bikes?

If possible, can you shoot some pictures of the airbox/carb area? Anyone know what size carb they use?

My sister and I may want to each buy one, but i've gotta be able to tweak on them, cause I've always got the itch and a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket.

Yes.

Need to make a photobucket account fer pics but if you search vbike on youtube you'll find a v4s with an adult riding it the guy has a few posts and I assume the v4sw is same size. gets here thurs and have two days off b4 the weekend shift so I got time to work on it I'll keep everyone one updated.
