I haven't done anything extraordinary to keep my Zong running, Shorty.
I rebuilt the top end of my Zongshen engine at 31,500 miles. However, this is not unusual; I rebuilt the top end of my Honda XR650L engine at 29,000 miles.
In all honesty, my Zongshen 200GY-2 is a well built, wonderful little motorcycle.
Change the engine oil regularly, and adjust the valve lash periodically, and your Chinese motorcycle will last many thousands of miles.
They might be inexpensive, but these are not "throw away" motorcycles.
