Zongshen

[Trebek]

Don't forget Hi-Bird/Komoto, they have Zongchen (sp?) motors. Very happy with the bike and motor so far.

[allmotor]

wait wait wait... Hi Bird and Komoto all have Zongshen motors?? So these are really good motors then? So then this leads to me to ask why doesn't more people own/ride zongshen bikes?

I own a Zongshen Sierra 200cc bike, and totally love it! I have put on a total, up to today, 142miles on her, and she is feeling better everyday.

I also looked at the Lifan prior to my purchase, but with the seat height of the Lifan, and the looks of the Zong, I decided to get the Sierra 200. Couldn't have been happier.

I must add that the height of the Lifan put me off because I am a beginner motorcyclist practically, with 14yrs out the saddle and just getting back in to fight the fuel price surge.

Here is a link to some photos of my Sierra 200cc.

if the lifan transmission is something that really concerns you, don't let it too much. I have over 2,000 miles on my lucy lu and she has done nothing but love me long time 1.400 dollar! I have the link to the trans mod if I ever need it. but I think she is a good machine even if it isn't zongshen status.

No, Qlink is a re-badged Qingqi. Qingqi is actually the OEM for Suzuki's DR200 engine and frame, so you are getting Suzuki quality at half-price.

My atv has a zongschen engine and no problems so far... Though I should also mention I've had 2 lifans with no transmission issues either.

The Zongshen Sierra 200 (which was sold for a while as the QLINK XRanger) uses a Zongshen-built copy of the Yamaha TW200 engine/transmission design.

Yes, some other Zongshen models use Zongshen-built copies of Honda engine/transmission designs.

Zongshen claims that their newest models (not seen in N.A. yet) use Zongshen designed, proprietary engines/transmissions.

What kind of mods do you have if any? What crusing speed are you at? have you've tried contacting bruce for new sprockets?

So the 2006 Sierra 200 did it come with the Yamaha OHC TW-200 motor?? If so can the TW-200 parts be installed into this motor?

I believe so. Member SamM had pretty much verified it.

alright... so why isn't there more forum members riding this enduro? I know it's prefrence but hey i'll ask anyways

[katoranger]

They were not as common as the rest of the GY bikes. The lifan styled bikes with honda styled engines are much more common.

I got the sierra 200, n it's great. 50 mi on my bike n the only problem was when odometer stuck. I'm not sure where i live in PA people even know any of these china bikes exist. My bike is orange n black so everyone thinks it's a KTM till they actualy look at it.

[allmotor]

lol i'm going to pick up an orange one too. But i'm just scared cause the guy is not an authorized dealer and said these are the "close out" bikes. He is a whole saler and gets all kinds of random things... hand soap, cups, plates, pens, and what not that you would find at the dollar store and liquidation world/stupid prices... but he go in contact with a whole saler that has a bunch of Sierra 200's and i just don't want to get a beat up bike... its brand new in the crate still...

sierra 200 owners beware, depending on which year bike u got, make sure and take care of it because I havent heard anything good about them, havent heard of one person making it over 3000 miles, plus they are a heavy and underpowered bike, not talking about zongshen motors, ive heard plenty good about them, jsut not the sierra
